Eradicate Tuberculosis.

The demonstration that tuberculosis
;s one and the same disease in both
animals and men, has opened up a new
field for useful work on the part Of both
local and state boards of health. Here
tofore the attempt to eradicate tuber-
culosis from the dairy herds has been
undertaken by state cattle commits
sions The most extensive work under
state control has been in the eastern
states. and has, for various reasons,
thus far resulted in only partial sue
cess. The need of absolute purity in
the milk supply makes the eradication
of tuberculosis necessity. 1t is claim
ed here that this is practicable only
nv the local boards of health controll-
ing their own milk supply by issuing
licenses to both producers and vend-
ers, after a thorough inspection OF the
dairy and cattle by the veterinarian OF
the board. This plan is now being
carried out in our own city, under To-
cal inspection ordinance made possible
by a special act of the state legislature.
The constitutionality of this measure
has been confirmed by a decision Of
the supreme court of the state OF Min
nesota.-Charles E. Cotton.

A Plan That Failed.-Some years ago,
says Hoards Dairyman, we ran across
the following terse bit Of dairy expert
ence, from a Wisconsin local paper: A
friend appeals to us to suggest some
thing for the fly tormented mixers.
It's no use, my veteran friend, we've
tried it. Once, when boy, we thought
we would fix frisky heifer, and so tied
her tail to our boot strap. The heifer
gave two or three jerks, and then got
right up in meetin' and lit out. We
well, we managed to keep up with the
heifer with the assistance of the tail,
but there was altogether too much con-
fusion about it to make it interesting.
We are certain it was no time for read
ing the scriptures, or family worship.
1t is much safer to let COW switch her
tail than to switch boy.

Varying Components of Milk.-Dur-
ing the first five months of milking the
salts in the milk are in excess, and then
progressively decrease to the eighth
month, when they increase slightly; the
casein and extractives diminish up to
the second month, and then remain
nearly constant, but from the tenth to
the twenty-fourth month the casein de-
clines; from the eighth to the tenth
month the sugar increases, this body
being in small proportion during the
latter part of the first month, and in
the fifth and sixth and tenth and
eleventh months the butter fails in pro-
portion, progressively diminishing from
the first to the eighth month, and then
increasing slightly.

There is nothing that sounds
sopleasant to the ear of aCoopers-
town citizen than toh hear strangers
and travelling men speak well of
our town, and there is nothing
that could better build up our
town than for each person who has
any money with which to buy
goods to purchase them from our
home merchants, providing that
those same merchants will sell
their goods right. One of the
best ways in which to make our
town attractive with that sort of
attraction that will draw people
to it, is for every man and every
woman to have something good
to say about the people and the
town generally, and also to back
up their good opinions by spend
ing their money with our home
merchants. Talk up your town

States Attorney Allen, of Bur-

ing that the reason nothing has
been done to apprehend the fellow
who shot at Editor Moffet is be-
cause the matter has not been
called to his attention. Allen

Burleigh county ought to elect a
states attorney who reads the
newspapers at least, for by doing
so he would learn what is being
done in his town, and by thus
reading the papers his attention
would be called to the crimes
committed! The action of the
whole lot of officials at Bismarck
in this matter is rotten.

\ great deal OF talk has been oc-
casioned by the injunction served on
r. M. Cowen, and q few are trying to
make it appear that Mr.. Cowen is
being unjustly treated and trying to
create ill-feeling among the friends OF
temperance in consequence. This is
entirely wrong and q decidedly foolish
position for these persons to take.
The proceedings instituted are in no
way q reflection upon Robert Cowcn.
who is one OF the most highly respected
men in Griggs county. and no one
would thinle of associating him with

agent of the railroad and as such the

thai they will agree with the COURIER
that Mr.. Cowen has in no way been
injured, abused, or lost any of the re-
spect of his numerous friends, and no
one is staunchcr friend to him than
Mr.. Bartlett or any of those interested
in putting a stop to this business. We
hope Mr.. Cowen will look at the mat.

arrested, no one has thought for one
momentof having him arrested, and the
affair is simply a civil procedure to
stop the delivery OF G. o. D. wLiskey

We have just received copy

issued by the State Commissioners
of Agriculture and Labor, and it
is a most interesting document
from q farmers point of view.
A cnrsory glance through the
subjects therein treated gives
theunacquaintedreade glimpse
into the range of possibilities for
advancement within reach of the
North Dakota farmer. 1t also
clearly demonstrates the fact
that our farmers should diversity
their occupation a great deal
more than they do, and not de-
pend mainly upon cereals to make
farming profitable employment.
They can,A with advantage, take
up hog, cattle and sheep raising,
with poultry and bees as a side
issue. Thescarcity of butter and
the high price it commands in the
state, ought to convince the most

portion of it paid more attention

brought against Rose and certain
Barnes county officials for false inn
prisonment for contempt of court and
subsequent disbarment. This action
was, however, reversed by the supreme
court. and Root then brought suit for
1000 damages for his alleged in

was entered by the defendants and sus-
tained by Judge Glaspell. The case
was appealed to the supreme court by
