coat of whitewash, will render them
safe for the next occupant.
We cannot close this report without
condensing the foregoing remarks into
the following suggestions and advice
to farmers and herdsmen:
Admit as much sunlight as possible
into the stable.
Whitewash the walls, ceilings, and
stanchions at least once every year.
Make every COW in the herd occupy
the same stall every time.
Use common sense about turning
COWS out from a warm barn to stay
out in inclement weather.
When you discover symptoms OF
tuberculosis in any animals in your
herd promptly call veterinarian or
report the case to the commissioner
and have the the animal examined.
Cleanse and disinfect after removing
a tuberculosis animal

You will waste time if you try to
cure indigestion or dyspepsia by
starving yourself. That only makes it
worse when you do eat heartily. You
always need plenty of good food
properly digested. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure is the result of years of scientific
research for something that would
digest not only some elements of food
but every kind. And it is the one
remedy that will do it. r. H. Beers

Total expenses of the department in
Guiding compensation for cattle S441014
In the above item, ''Paid veterina-
rians and expenses $l66.5O' is included
the pay and expenses of Hon Frank
Day and DR. Mayo, who acted as depu-
ties in the work Of inspecting the
cows furnishing milk for Boston mar
ket.
This work was done in response to
many calls from farmers in New Lon
don, Windham, and Holland counties
who ship milk to Boston, and was
made necessary by the action of the
Boston Board of Health in 1899, in
adopting in their "Regula lions for the
Sale and Care of Milk" the following
section:
''Article l, Sec. 4. No milk shall be
sold, offered for sale, or distributed in
the city of Boston unless the COWS
from which it is derived have, within
one year, been examined by a compe-
tent authority and shown to be free
from diseases dangerous to public
health; but this shall not be construed
as fOrdidding the sale or use of milk
from COWS not tested with tubercu-
lin.''
Similar Board of Health regulations
in the cities of Norwalk and South
NOrwalk necessitate an annual inspec-
ton under the supervision Of this de-
partment of all COWS furnishing milk
for these cities.
Complying with Section l, Chapter
cxcix, Public Acts Of 1897, the follow
ing described cattle have been report
ed to this department as having been
brought into this state during the
fiscal year ending September 30, 1900.
Cows $40, hefers, 28l, oxen 81,
steers 522, bulls 81, calves 90,

During the year ending Septem-
Der 80, 1898, 5,193
During the year ending Septen-
Der 80, 1899, 1878
Marked copies of the law relating to
bringing cattle into this state from an
adjoining state with envelopes and
blanks for convenience in reporting
have been sent to dealers and import
ers as far as their addresses could be
obtained, yet, notwithstanding this,
comparison with the three preceding
years shows such decrease in num-
bers reported as to indicate beyond
doubt that the law is not generally re-
spected.

We want to make the people feel happy, and here are the latest figures to show what is being done in their interest. In round numbers, this eoun- try spent $30O,OOO,OO for hospitals, or phanages, new churches, etc, etc, in 13Go.

In 1900 we had 2.34O churches and to-day we have 1S1.4S1 churches in the United States alone This is ;l marvellous showing-a pretty good world to live in. The next best thing to do to make the world better is for the great Trusts and Combina tions who control prices to show their honesty to the people by paying GOOD LIVING WAGES. The habit of pay ing small wages is a bad habit.
 What is the world to anyone who has not got q comfortable home, with comforta ble surroundings?

This practice of having men teachers in girls schools has probably largely influenced the girls answers.

SOMEBODY LIVING HIGH.
Chicken Thieves Operating Extensive
 ly ill the North End.

ly i'll the North End.
 Somebody has been living on the fat of the land ill the northern part of the city, but if they are found out, and they surely will be, they are apt to live on bread and water in the county jaii for some time and work off their suDerfiuous flesh. X few nights ago the Doran family on Pine street, at the head of Bishop street, lost twen- ty-five chickens, some of them were fancy stock and of much value there fore. A few nights previous the Byrne family, living on the City Mills road, was visited and about tn1,ty-tv-o chick ems taken, while week before sixteen were taken from the Shugrue family living on the same thorougnfare. Still the price of chickens in the north end of the city has not been reduced one cent. though it has been remarked that such flesh has been extra ordinarily ten der. Anything tender hailing from the classic shades of Burnt hill has ai ways met with the sincerest and high est appreciation, but II nas been said that chicken meat produced in the back yards of the first and second wards on their northern borders is the finest that was ever known.
 The police have been notified of the thefts above mentioned and it appears they have considered q quest for the thieves would be fruitless, as the own CTS of the departed chickens would Dn unable to identify them bereft of their feathers. In the three instances men, toned the whole flock was taken. a clean sweep was made. and not the slightest clue did the unwelcome vis- itors leave behind them.
