SWINE INFECTED.
tuberculosis Spread Among Them by
SKINNED Milk.

The percentage of hogs condemned
at the stock yards on account of tuber-
culosis has shown so marked an in
crease during the past year that DR.. S.
B. Brimhall, in charge of the veter-
mary department of the state board OF
health, called the attention of the
members of the board to the increase
at its last meeting.
The state officials believe that men
may contract tuberculosis from the
form of the disease found in cattle
and despite the recent report that
Prof. Koch had discovered that animal
tuberculosis does not infect human
beings. The government inspectors
condemns animals in which the dis
ease is we'll developed.
One Car load of eighty-two hogs was
received last week, of which forty
three animals were condemned on
account of tuberculosis. A still larger
proportion of the pigs were infected,
as animals are condemned only when
the disease has gained so much head
way as to make the meat unfit for
human consumption.
This is a rare example, but scarcely a
carload of hogs Is received which does
not contain some animals that have
to be condemned. 1t is supposed that
the majority of the animals contract
the disease by being fed skim milk
from COWS that have tuberculosis.
The young pigs are unusually suscep,
tible to disease. Although the vas
majority of the hogs sent to the stock
yards are about nine months old
many have tuberculosis in such ad
vanced stages that it is certain they
contracted the disease several month";
before. Nearly all the infected hog
come frsm creamery regions, wher'
the skim milk is fed to pigs.
A larger number of Minnesota cattl
are known to have tuberculosis, ant
the disease is constantly increasing
Many of the herds in the country hav
never been tested for the disease, an
milk from the infected COWS is sen
to the creamery. AS the milk fror
all the COWS goes into one large va
the entire quantity is infected wit
the baccilli.
The inspection of the slaughtere
hogs is more thorough than that
cattle. The swine are condemned MOI
closely than cattle, as each animal
of less value, and is worth proportion
ately much more for waste produce
? than is similar quantity of beef.
"The problem is difficult one
3 handle and can never be solved, - sal
DR.. Brimhall, "until public sentimel
: has been educated to the point whel
7 a thorough inspection of all dali
herds is demanded and all infecte
animals are condemned. In mar
g instances the meat could be used
a canned or sailed, or put up in al
D form that would insure its beir

HEIR TO FORTUNE
Walter Henry of Decoria Due
to Get 100000.
He Proves His Claim to a Slice of the
100000 cronkhite Estate
in Holland.

Walter Henry, Decoria farmer, is
one of the heirs to an So, 600, 600 estate
in Holland, and Tuesday consulted
Thos. and Evan Hughes in regard
to the matter.
The story is an interesting one. At
the time of the breaking out of the
Revolutionary war three brothers,
Casper, Jacob and James Cronkhite.
Hollanders. were residing in the
colony of New York. Jacob and James
sided with the colonists who took up
arms against England, but Casper was
opposed to the rebellion and returned
to Holland, where he made money
rapidly and died rich, but with no
wife or children.
Being angered at his brothers, Cas-
per decided to cut them off from get
ting any of his property. In order to
make sure that they should not parti-
cipate in the distribution, but to re-
tian the money in the family, he will
ed his estate to the fifth generation OF
his heirs, and gave it to the govern
ment of Holland in trust. The money
was invested in securities drawing
three or four per cent interest, and the
principal and interest now.amounts te
something like So, 900, 900.
The heirs to this estate are the de-
scendants of Jacob and James, both
of whom had families. The fifth
generation is now living, and thu
heirs number 400 people, nearly al
of whom have been located. Tn
Holland government has advertised TO
the heirs in various parts of the Unit
ed States, and an organization of tn
heirs has been formed in Indiana. Mr.
Henry has known for nearly yea
that he is one of the heirs. His shar
is estimated at about 500, 600.
Mr.. Henry has resided in Decori
for many years. He is about lift
years of age, and has a family. Hi
mothers maiden name was Amand
Cronkhite. She was the daughter c
, Elihu Cronkhite, who was a son
Jacob Cronkhite, who was a son
James Cronkhite, one of the thre
brothers. Mr.. Henry has a larg
number of documents proving b
heirship.
1t is expected that the estate wi
soon be divided up, as only two
, three more of the heirs are to be loca
, ed. Mr.. Henry's friends will certain
hope that he will get good slice.

EAT MORE CEREALS.
Meat will Never be as Low as it Has
Been.

Washington. April 3O.-Prof. g. w.
Wiley, chemist of the department of
agriculture, today in discussion call
ed forth by the present prevailing
high price of beef earnestly advocated
the more general use of cereals as
food.
Prof. Wiley said that without going
into the question of price, Indian
corn, wheat, oats, rye and rice con-
tanned, 80 far as actual nourishment
was concerned, everything necessary
to supply the waste of the body and
give and necessary heat and energy to
the system, and that it was very well
known that men nourished very extern
sively on cereals were capable of the
hardest manual labor.
Prof. Wiley said it seemed probable
that the price of meat, now abnorm-
ally high, would never again descend
to as low point as was reached few
years ago and that the conditions
which now confronted the American
people was, therefore, one of consider
able permancy and should be met ant
considered as such.

FRIEDNER WINS MEDAL.
Had Highest Butter Score During the
Past Year.

John Fridner, of Strout, Meeker
county, Mimi, is the winner of the
Van SAINT gold medal offered to the
buttermaker securing the highest
average score in the monthly educa-
tionsl contest conducted by the state
dairy and food commission during the
year.
Mr. Friedner's average score for the
twelve contests, including the one
completed Tuesday, is 95s7. The
competition for the medal was I'M
usually close, as many buttermakers,
who had not secured AS many hrsts
as Mr.. Friedner had made an unusu-
ally high score at each contest. Then,
too. Mr.. Friedner's score dropped to
SO in the contest Tuesday. and this
lowered his average. The average,
however, is an unusually high one to
make for twelve consecutive months.
"The improvement of the butter
entered in the contests during the yeal
has been wonderful, said Creamery
Expert White, of the dairy and food
department. CAT first there was 6
wide variation in the scores. Some
butter was high on color and low OF
salt. Other butter was low on colo
and high on salt. Now, however. i
is wonderfully uniform. One mai
that watched the scoring Tues day
glanced over the open tubs and re
marked that all looked alike.
"The butter entered this montl
was 30 uniform that 30 per cent OF
could have been put together AM
sold as one lot, there being no differ
ence that would have been detected b.
the average consumer. This is grea
benefit when butter is shipped outsid
the state, or exported, as this is usu
ally done in large lots. 1t gives Min
nesota butter an unusually hlg
standing, as buyers always feel certai
of getting a good article.
