MAIHE's INFLUENCE AT WASH.
INaToN.

MRlne, like Vermont. has for q
long time given the country an object
lesson In the best way to exercise al
great Influence over national affairs.
She has simply adopted the plan OF
sending good men to Washington, and
OF keeping them there long enough to
gain, commanding places In Congress.
Thus, in the present Congress, Senat-
or Frye OF Maine holds the place OF
president pro TEN. Of the Senate; Mr..
Reed of Maine is speaker of the
House; Mr.. Dingley Of Maine is chair
man Of the ways and means commit
tee; and the other two representatives
tn the House, namely, Messrs. Bou-
telle and Milliken, occupy very inn
portant chairmanships. Maine's pop
ulation entities her to only four seats
IN the House, yet her moral influence
In Congress is greater by far than that
possessed BY the State Of New York,
which has thirty-four seats ia the

the republicans should control the
next House, as now seems altogether
probable, no one will question Mr..
Reeds title to another term in the
Speakers chair. The Speaker wields
40 immense power and has q heavy
burden Of responsibility to bear. No|
manas ever elected Speaker who has
not proved his worth by a long term
OF service in.the House. In our opin-
lon there ought to be some special
compensation provided for the Speak
er. beyond the 5000 salary of q mem.
Der Of congress. A good argument
might be made to show that there
ought to be attached to the Speaker
ship Of the House emoluments as
great as those of the Vice President,
whose function is to act as presiding
officer Of the Senate. 1t was reported
several months ago that Mr.. Reed had
decided that he could not afford to de-
vote any more time to public affairs
at Warrington, and that he would re-
tire III order to practice law and gain
q larger income. 1t is always unfortu
nate for the country when man Of
great ability and high character, Of
whatever party, who has served
through long apprenticeship in pub
lic affairs, retires to private life In the
prime Of his strength and usefulness. |

ESTATE OF SUSAN A. FLANDERS,
STATE OF VERMONT,
DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON, So.


In Probate Court, held at Montpelier, in and for

L. Bart Cross. Administrator of the estate Of

Alice ate her breakfast in dazed
sort of way, and all day went about in a
delightful dream.
The whole busy holiday week seemed
unreal, and then came the reality; but
Alice was a very homesick, lonely girl
when her mother was really out of
reach.
Aunt Joanna was so cold and distant,
and seemed 80 to regard the whole af
fair as matter of business, that Alice
wondered if she could really be dear,
CHEEKY, loving little mothers own aunt.
And then to feel that mother would
need her-that no one else could care
for her dear mother quite 80 well. This
was great trouble to Alice.
The work at the school, too, was
very hard, and she had much to learn
and to unlearn, and no one in all the
busy hive seemed to care whether she
succeeded or failed. But Alice was
proud and brave, and, after all, what a
pleasure it was to know that she learned
something every day and was advanc-
ing in the art she loved! And by and
by, when the first strangeness wore off,
and she made new friends, how the
days did fyl
When she went home in April, she
was very happy girl, although her

Calves and tuberculosis,

"Calves dropped by tuberculous
cows" says the american AgriculturiSt,
Gas shown by the tuberculin test, and
fed on milk from non-tuberculous cows,
showed no signs of consumption. But
healthy calves, taken from non-tuber-
culous cows, as determined by test,
and fed exclusively upon milk from
cows far advanced with tuberculosis,
became tuberculous. In both these ex-
periments at the Iowa Station the
calves were killed when three months
old. SO far as the experiments go they
show that milk from tuberculous cows
produces the disease, and that tubercu-
losis is not hereditary. Other exper.
iments in this line are now in progress
there. In every case where tuberculo.
sis has been discovered in Iowa, it was
in cattle that were kept in close stables,
with more or less complete absence of
sunlight, poor air, and little or no ex-
ercise."

raised by the owner from his own stock
and none have been brought in for sew
eral years, and in which no suspicious
death has ever occurred and in which
the young stock has been raised upon
the milk of the herds.
For persons who do not wish for
test of their herd, there are some things
which can be done to check the disease,
if present. First, should place plenty
of sunlight in the stables. Also,
large, roomy stable, with good ventila-
ton, is safeguard. Then have plenty
of proper, nutritious food. My belief
is that in herd where there is disease
it will never be gotten rid of by physi-
cal eXamination-or not until test is
made with tuberculin. There will be
incipient cases that will defy any other
means of diagnosis. l also believe that
herd that is clean to-day will always
remain 30 unless the disease is brought
in from outside. In localities where the
most has been done in testing herds it
is practically impossible to sell an ami
NAL to-day that is not guaranteed to
stand the tuberculin test.
From what have said it may be in
ferred that believe it to be possible
to eradicate the disease from our herds.
This certainly is my belief. The claim
that it is the same disease of which
cattle have died for fifty years and
been called consumption is an error, l
believe. The old-fashioned catarrhal
consumption, induced from exposure,
is entirely distinct in its origin and
progress from tuberculosis and is pro-
duced from local causes. The latter is
infectious and is produced from specific
causes.
If the Bureau of Animal Industry in
creases its production of tuberculn, so
that it could be furnished free to the
state, as has been done in our work so
far, the expense of testing the $50 900
cattle of Vermont would be about $780,
600. There would be in the vicinity of
10000 head to condemn, and it would
require $4,000 to $3.50, 900 to pay for
them. l should not expect that we
could get rid of the disease for less than
5000 600. Can we afford such an ex-
penditure? 1t does not lie in my prov
ince to answer the question. The peo-
pie of the state are not rich, and this
work is not to be done in day or
season; nor is it one in which hasty
action is necessary. 1t would be poor
policy, however, to allow the disease TO
spread in our herds in expectation of
relief from medical discovery. A thou
sand dollars this year would do as much
as 81 200 or 81 500 next year in sup
pressing the disease.

Farm Values.

Farmers in Orange county, N. Y,
says the Warwick Advertiser, have
found gradual reduction taking place
in the value of their holdings, until
now there are few ordinary farms, I'M
less advantageously located, that will
bring much more than the actual value
of the buildings upon them. Many
large farms will not bring the cost price
of all the buildings and fences now on
them. Considering how close this
county lies to the metropolis, this is
strange condition, and the causes and
remedy are questions of the greatest
importance. There are places in North.
ern New Jersey, no more favorably
located or more fertile, where higher
valuation holds. One reason for this is
the fact of excellent roads having been
built there in recent years. The farm
ers of Orange county can do nothing to
increase the value Of their farms more
than to change their poor and expen.
sive system of road work to a better
one.-Country Gentleman.
