Tuberculosis at Home.

Randolph had it's first experience in
testing cattle for tuberculosis last week.
The test was also the first made in the
state under the new law
j. G.. Mann had herd OF SO registered
and high-grade Jerseys ut his sunny
side farm near the Center. Some time
ago he suspected that tuberculosis was
present among them and killed two COWS
which were affected by it. After the re-
cent act OF the legislature was passed, be
requested the Board OF Agriculture, in its
capacity as cattle commissioners, to test
the animals and submitted to the terms Ut
The act in regard to compensation, pro-
ylded any should be condemned.
Last Friday, Fl. w. Vail and v. l. Spear
OF the Board, assisted by DR.. +. A. Kich,
the veterinary who has become famous for
his study OF the new disease, came to town
and tested the entire herd. The operation
consisted OF taking the temperature OF
the animals and then injecting the detec-
tive agent, tuberculin. BY Saturday noon,
the rise in temperature OF six of the 80
animals convinced the veterinary that
they were affected with tuberculosis.
Three Of these were appraised at the legal
limit, $40, and the others at $50. They
were slaughtered Saturday afternoon and
an examination verified the test. Four of
the cattle were affected in the Lungs and
the others in other parts. They were all
quite advanced in the disease. Two OF
the best cows were from the Green Noun
tain Stock farm and two from C. G. War
ren's herd OF Waterbury. These four were
supposed to have been affected when they
were bought by Mr.. Mann. The other
two cows took the disease from them and
were susceptible on account OF having
been in weak condition because of acct
dents su ffered before. That more OF the
herd was not affected was due to the excel
lent sanitary conditions which surround
ed it.
Mr.. Mann should be congratulated,
rather than condoled with. The slaugh-
tered cattle for which he RECEIVERS half
price from the state would probably have
died in the near future and thus been to-
tai loss unless he had sold them to some
other party on whom the loss would have
fallen. He now knows that his cattle are
all right and considers them worth enough
more to balance his temporary loss. He
speaks in the highest terms OF the treat
ment accorded him by the Board and It's
able veterinary.
E. l.. Bass herd was tested the first of
this week, bnt the results are not yet
known.

A New Postomce.

The postoffice department has author
lied Postmaster Wheeler to negotiate with
the owners of the Red Lion Inn block for
the "corner store" to be used as post
office, and has made such an allowance
that it is believed the negotiations will be
successful. The room will be divided and
fitted with vault to accommodate both
the Savings bank and the postoffice, and
will be provided with two entrances, SO
that at mail time the incoming anu out
going tide OF humanity need not be con-
fined to one little narrow doorway,
through which it seems, to the impatient
observer anxiously waiting for chance
to enter, to move with all the swiftness OF
cold molasses. Mr.. Wheeler, who will
have personal oversight of the office, is
to be assisted by Miss Alice Hobart, who
has had considerable experience in the
business and is both efficient and obliging,
and also by MIR T. j. Adams, who, it is be-
lieved, will make most excellent official.

JUST AN OVERSIGHT,

The day was done and darkness
So closely wrapped the earth
That Of the moons effulgence
There even was a dearth.
The village lights were cleaning
And in the drizzling rain,
They looked like raspberry bushes
Far scattered DER plain.
Right through the murky blackness
Came two from different ways,
And when they met so sudden,
The stars shone like blaze.

Aud peering into the night,
"That at the worlds creation
They thought Of having light"
"They did, rejoined the other,
Recovering from his fright,
"But they forgot for Randolph

DUH'S TRADE REVIEW.
The Commercial Condition Of
the Country.
CONFIDENCE INCREASING
Cotton Recovering Itself--Bctter De-
mand for Manufactured Products Of
the Staple--Large Shipments of
Corn.

Il. G.. Dun a. Co.'S, weekly review of
trade says: The rapid recovery Of
cotton and the rise Of sterling exchange
to the point at which the last exports
Of gold were made have not increased
confidence. There is little better dc
mand for most manufactured products,
retail distribution is fairly encouraging
and the closing of many works is lest
significant ut this season than it might
be mt others. 1t is time of waiting
and uncertainty naturally continues for
some weeks. Cotton speculation
turns for the moment on the
disposition Of holders TO keep back
their cotton, which may compel higher
prices. Some say, however large the
ultimate supply may be, the receipts
are at present very small compared
with last years, and il is stated that
banks here have more money loaned
in cotton to enable holders to keep it
without marketing than ever before.
Exports and takings Of spinncrs are
small, and stocks abroad and here so
large that consumers may DC better
able to wait than borrowers from
banks.
Wheat has declined cents and
corn cents, in spite Of many adverse
reports about winter wheat. The pres
cnt large shipments from other cOun-
tries, the small Atlantic exports, in five
weeks only 1902, ,5S1 bushels, flour in
cluded, against 11,742, ,2O3 last year,
and the western receipts for five weeks
81, ,704, 45S. bushels, against 23 Geo, 973
last year, aIlect opinion more directly
than ideas about next ycgr,s yield.
Very large estimates of the corn crop
have depressed prices, although exports
have been in five wcoks 2,2l2, S2l
bushels against 4,S23,G GlS las year, a
fact which has its weight in the wheat
market also.
Pork and lard are not much changed,
though hog receipts aud packing are
heavy. The heavy wheat and corn
movement help receipts, hut the rail
road earnings thus far reported for De-
tober, 5.3 per cent. larger than last
year, tie third week showing less gain
I than the others are ,. per cent small
er than in 1892 The larger demand
for manufactured products has held
prices Of cotton goods and even adj
vanced prints, in spite Of last weeks
decline in cotton. The mills are said
to be carrying only moderate stocks.
More activity is also seen in iron and
steel products, though Bessemer and
grey forge billets are little lower and
the average OF quotations given is 2.75
per cent lower than at highest point
Sept. II, per cent lower than in Dc
tober three years ago, and there IS q
