portant feeding and other live
stock experiments by the State
Agricultural and Mechanical col

called to the following facts that
are of the greatest Importance to
every citizen of Texas, but more
especially to those who are en-
gagged in agriculture, live stock
and mechanics:
"Whereas, the Texas Live Stock
association isl deeply impressed
with the fact that the live stock
and agricultural features of Texas
will profit largely from scientific
experiments in feeding and breed
ing cattle and other live stock,
and that to demonstrate economic
fesding rations, better methods of
m .rketing, and improving the
sistem of handling and breeding
stock by our State Agricultural
Experiment station will result in

Whereas, our state live stock
sanitary board has been unable to
take the necessary steps to stamp
out the different diseases from
which the live stock upon farm
and ranch suffer because of Il
lack of necessary funds for the
proper equipment and support of
this important work; and
Whereas,by proper experiments
and investigation such diseases as
black leg, CHAMBERS, nurrain, dis
temper and southern fever can be
coatrolleda and stamped out;there-
fore, be it i <a5
Resolved, that the resolution of
the Texas Live Stock association
asking that the appropriation of
$4,000 per annum for the support
of the live stock sanitary board
be raised to $4,000 per annum
and that a state veterinarian be
appointed and laboratory for
the investigation of animal dis
eases be established in connection

Gn,e Her A cordial one.

There is prosperous but close-fisted
farmer in the northern part of Kalama-
zoo county, who comes down to see
friends in Detroit when he has little
to do at home. AS his own nephew
says, he is as close as the bark on O
tree and never spends a cent when 1t
can possibly be avoided. He enjoys
the treaters hugely, but he never goes
unless some one else pays the way,
and he seems to feel hurt If anything
good comes and goes without his being
asked to see it.
His wife gets light royalty on such
butter and eggs as she manages to get
to market, but beyond this is depend
ent on the scant generosity of her hus-
band for pin money.

on her hands and knees, being too weak to
walk erect.
