pliance with all requests Preference
will be given to tests Of pure bred
herds or cows kept for the tearing Of
dairy stock, and to tests continuing
for seven days. The station through
its representative shall receive
full information as to breed
ing, age, time of calving, date
when bred, and treatment of the
cows prior to the test; also have full
opportunity to determine the quantity
and kinds of food used, and the
methods of feeding and treatment
during the tests, with privilege of
taking samples of food for inspection
or analysis, as we'll as the quantity
and quality of the milk and butter
product. The results of the tests, duly
certified by the station, will be fur
nished as soon as determined to the
owners of the cows, or to the associa-
tions under whose auspices the
tests are made. The station shall
have the right to make publication
of the results obtained, but no publi-
cation will be made without the con-
sent of owners or associations until
the completion of any public competi-
tion in which cows have been entered.
The expenses of the representative
of the station in going to and return
ing from the tests, as well as his main
tenance during the tests, shall be paid
by the owners Of the cows or the as

Tuberculln.
Readers of the Farmers Review
are doubtless aware that experiments
arc being made the world over with
tuberculin as IN agent fer the detec-
ticn of even dormant tuberculosis.
They, too, have learned that hundreds
of cattle have been destroyed in the
east as a result of the findings of this
now method of diagnosis. Tuberculin
is injected hypodermically and causes
rise in temperature when, say the
eSperimenters, tuberculosis is present
in the animal, no matter whether the
disease be virulent or passive A
heated discussion has arisen over this
matter, for one side claims that
where almost any lesion is
present in the cows body the ipjec-
lion of tuberculin-or other agents for
that tmattcr-willc cause a rise in temper
ature. Results have shown, as published
in the columns of the FARMERS REVIEW
that the work with tuberculin has
given wonderfully correct and even
astonishing results in some cases OF
tuberculosis that could not be dag
nosed by percussion and auscultation
by qualified veterinarians; but on the
contrary it has, if we have read Alright,
condemned healthy beasts unjustly
while there is suspicion in the minds
of some that where rise in tempera-
ture had resulted from the injection
of tnberculin simple post NOR

A Missouri Bulletin.

BULLETIN 90, of the Missouri ex-
pertinent station summarizes the re-
suits Of some of their experiments as
follows:
1. All crops demand soluble plant
food in proper amounts. 2. The plant
food most deficient in our soils is
potash, phosphoric nc;a and nitrogen.
3. All plants readily respond to appli-
cations of potash and phosphoric acid,
and all but the leguminous plants to
that of nitrogen. 4. The leguminous
plants are able to gather and appro-
pirate nitrogen in abundance from the
atmospheric air. 5. Large crops meal
the buying of potash and soluble
phosphoric acid fertilizers, and. unless
. proper rotation is adopted, that of
nitrates or other nitrogenous mauures.
8. Potash salts may be applied either
in fall or in spring, soluble phosphoric
acids and nitrates in spring only. 7.
For deep roofing plants the two form
er should be deeply plowcd under, and
the soil receive q top dressing In ad-
dition. 8. Beneficial results follow
the application of lime and that of in
direct fertilizers, such as hzlt9. A
proper rotation, different under differ
emit conditions. may be looked upon ne
the vital measure for making farming
a profitable and satisfactory oceups-
tion.-Farmers' Review.

Paper Telegraph Poles.

One of the latest uses to which paper has
been turned is the making Of telegraph poles.
The paper pulp employed is saturated with
mixture of borux, talow and other substances.
The mass is cast In u mold, with core In the
center, forming n hollow rod OF any desired
length, the cross pieces being held by wooden
keys driven in on either side OF the pole. The
paper poles are said to be lighter and stronger
than those of wood and to be unaffected by
the many weather influences which shorten
the life of II wooden pole. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether the paper pole will come TO
be anything like rival TO the iron pole,
which is now high In favor for the CARRYING
of all kinds Of wire lines. The value OF Iron

annals of veterinary history, but on the
contrary it is evident that the greatest
possible care must be taken to conclu-
sively prove the efficacy of tuberculin
before making 1t the judge author

We submit that the study of tubercul
osis, its etiology, its symptoms its post
mortem LESSONS, every possible phase
and stage of development, is of us great
Importance as the study Of tuberculin
and its effects There is great danger
in adopting this most interest
ing new discovery" as a means
of diagnosing tuberculosis, If it be
true that other diseases of the lungs
and pluera, of the spleen and liver, on
the exhibition of tuberculin, produce
rise of temperature as great as
that when tuberculosis is present.
The study of tuberculosis is necessary,
because should different states au-
thorize the condemning of cattle
showing reaction to tuberculin the
agent will be put in the hands OF hun
dreds of practitioners who know little
or nothing regarding the post mortem
LESSONS Of tuberculosis. We appre-
hcnd that few savants can not settle
this matter for the whole community;
that few experiments showing sue
ccssful diagnosis of tuberculosis
through the medium of tuber-
tulin should not be accepted
as SO conclusive that tuberculin
experiments in the hands of non-pro-
fess' 'onal inspectors or even young
veterinarians may be safely considered
equally trustworthy and final as to the
health or disease, life or death of the
dairy COW. This evidently is a matter
fer the government to take up and set
tie after careful work in each state
possessing an experiment station. 1t
is work that the farmer should not pay
for; work that the government should
undertake in an honest, thorough
manner to be reported upon candidly
ard in an unbiased manner. Then and
not till then should any man be made

that the government should supply
