A New York paper which ought to

a New York paper which ought to
know says:
Somebody who has figured it up
claims to have found that it costs $75,-
600 a day, or nearly S25 0OO,00 E year,
to maintain the New YORK exchange
and the machinery for the conduct Of
the great establishment. This sum, it
is said, is supposed to represent the
bare cost including interest on the ], 100
memberships at $4,000 each, but no in
terest on the active capital employed
in swinging the trade. In other words,
the $25s0OO,000 a year represents the an
nual contribution by the purchase Of
the maintenance of a speculative lay

against the public. It establishes a
base line from which the public can
figure on having a lighting chance for
speculative money invested. It takes
$4,000 a day to pay Office rent, clerk
hire. telegraph tolls and private wire
rentals. actual personal expenses and
the thousand and one necessary Incl

ance of the mighty market machine
that has been built up for the purchase
and sale Of securities and the specula-

Adding to His Mills Capacitv.

Lincoln, Oct. 31-The Lincoln roller
mills have increased, the capacity for
making flour from one hundred barrels
to $50 barrels daily. Trade has been in
creasing so rapidly at this mill that the
proprietor, L. J. Rees is again thinking
of enlarging it, with the chances in his
favor of putting in an elevator in con-
nection with the mill. The business has
grown to such an extent that he is
working his force day and night.

was we'll established, Prof. Thorne
informed the writer that considering
the healthy appearance of many of the
cows, he considered this to be
thorough test as to the merits of
tuberculine as diagnostic agent, and
that as far as the Station was concern
ed the test was decidedly satisfactory.
There were present from thirty to
thirty-iive veterinaries, should think
as many doctors, and breeders by the
hundreds, many of whom we're full of
skepticism before the slaughter COM
menced but after witnessing animal
after animal slaughtered and dissected
admitted that the subject was SER
ious one.
In way of explanation wish to say,
that the test for the disease consists of
the following proceeding: Tempera-
ture of the animal is taken to ascer-
tain the condition of animal temper
ature. If found in the range OF nor
NAL, namely from 100o to 10l19 Q
then the tuberculine is injected under
the skin with syringe for that pur-
pose. This is usually done at l0p. m.
then at a. m. their temperature is
taken, and so on every two hours
throughout the day. Should the temper
ature rise to, say 1869 to 1919 the
animal is pronounced diseased or tu-
bnrculous, providing there was no 9th
er attributed cause. The rise of tenn
perature is called reacting.
To administer this test requires one
especially qualified, and if the cattle
are to be shipped, a certificate of test
is given.
AS this article has been laid over
for one week, l would like to refer to
the notice made in the Cleveland
Press, Saturday, April p, regarding
the carcasses of animals slaughtered
at the station.
1t was determined by all authorities
present at Wooster that all these ami
mails but three we're fit for food. l am
astonished that a question should be
raised against such beef, and confess
it far beyond the powers Of my reason
ing to adjust myself to the arguments
that confront our profession. As far
as / am concerned / would be glad to
know meat / eat was all as wholesome
as those carcasses were. True, the
disease of tuberculosis was present,
but the fire used in cooking meat af-
fords degree of protection, not given
when drink milk from such animals.
Some people tell me they think it a
hoax" "humbug". They are will
ing, seemingly, if only ignorant, to
swallow anything, ready to deride the
man that sounds the note of warning.
There are those however who are fully
awake to the danger, possibly, lurking
in the meat and milk upon their table.
How long would it take you to decide
as to whatyou would do with the COW,
could you know it was from her you had
contracted the terrible disease the
doctor tells you has no cure but the
grave? r. G. Holland, V. S.

In accord with my promise to the
Enterprise readers / will briefly de-
scribe the proceedings of the investi-
CATION conducted by the management
Of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station at Wooster, for the purpose of
substantiating the reliability of tub
erculine as means of detecting the
presence of tuberculosis, or consump-
tion in cattle. Perhaps it would be
well to state here that the first posi-
tive, Identification of tuberculosis in
the herd of cattle belonging to the sta
tion was made in the spring of 1897.
Since that date more than one hun
dred cattle have been subjected to the
tuberculine test with forty cases re-
acting. Thirty head had been killed
prior to the killing of these slaughter
ed on April IL, in which the reliabil-
ity Of the test had been unquestionab-
ly confirmed. Four OF the non-react-
ing animals have, since receiving the
test, died of other causes, show
ing no traces Of tuberculosis on post
mortem. Cattle that we're slaughter
ed on the date mentioned in last weeks
Enterprise, were of the following
breeds: Holstein, Jerseys, Short-Horn
Durham. Polled Aberdeen Angus,
and the Red Polled cattle.
Some of these cattle we're in fine
condition. Fat as show animals.
Some had shown questionable reac-
tion from the test. Twelve head were
slaughtered, ten of which were found
diseased. The remaining two doubt
full. These having failed to react sat
isfactorily. Of those found to be dis
eased, in one COW it was well de-
veloped in the udder, the majority in
the lungs, Others in the liver, and one
in the glands of the throat. In some
Of these cases, as much as one pint Of
pus was found in the lungs and liver.
There were two calves, and foui
hogs, that were also slaughtered
which had been subjects of expert.
ment. These calves had been fed milk
direct from the diseased cows, but
when subjected to test did not react
and when slaughtered were not found
to be diseased. Two of the hogs were
also fed milk direct from diseased
cows The other two were fed milk
that had been heated to about 140o
These were all found to be diseased
The test in this case was not conducted
properly as the hogs were not proven
to be free from the disease prior to tn,

A Cowardly Mob.

On Monday night of last week, dra-
ma was enacted at what is known as
the blue Goose" l a miles east OF
town. According to our informant,
about. forty unknown persons in the
shape fmen, with rooms to rent in
their upper stories, congregated about
the dwelling of Mrs. Jennette Giliett
and bombarded her home with show
er of stones, breaking the windows and
bruising the woman and one of her
children. The second act was when
Mrs. Gillett walked out with her little
boy and recognized fourteen pf them
These she called by name, saying
81 know you" The third act was
when one OF the number addressed her
in vile language, and she stood her lit
tie boy on the ground and proceeded
to castigate him in the usual womanly
manner by slapping his face and by
pulling the curls out of his hair and
whiskers.
We know nothing Of the merits Of
this case either pro or con, except by
hearsay, which is not always reliable
We do say, however, that there are
lawful methods which can be- pursued
in ridding neighborhood Of disturb
ing or undesirable elements, without
resorting to the Mississippi plan or the
South Carolina plan or to any Other
hoodlum plan of exterminating evil
This is one instance in which the
motto, "similia similibus curantur'
will not operate.
