WANTED THEIR PHOTOGRAPHS
. Cornell Undergraduate to
the Faculty.

Cornell university has its fair quota
of harum-scarum youths, who, after
pyrotechnic careers, suddenly disap-
pear from the university's ken. A
wasteful genius was recently hailed
before the faculty to answer charges
Of such violent fractures of discipline
that even in his most optimistic mo-
ments he had not hoped to explain
or disprove them satisfactorily, says
the New York Tribune. However, he
faced the music and even stood with
considerable degree of eomposure
while proof after proof If misconduct
was presented. Finally when the evil
dence was all in and the hush fell
on the assembly that precedes SEN
tence, the prodigal raised his down
cast eyes, and, in voice full of emo
ton, said:
81 have only one last request to
make
"And what is that?" asked the pre-
siding officer.
That you will give me your pro-
tographs to remember you by"
With this parting shot he lodged
out Of the door, which he had taken
pains to stand near. The professors
lay back in their chairs and laughed
long and loud. Then they took the
vote that severed the official connec-
tion between themselves and their
tender young friend.

have q poor pedigree to start with.
The farther back you can go with
good animals, the better the pedi-
gree. The next point is uniformity
and similarity Of animals on both
sides.
In the selection of herd, the third
phase is to choose a few each year
from among those cows you have,
and weed them out selecting few
from outside superior to those you
propose to let go. To make selec-
tions in your own herd, 1t is neces-
sary to keep a daily record and to
make frequent tests of the milk Dis
pose of those not making satis-
factory profit. At the Connecticut
experiment station it costs about $42
year to keep COW, here about
$50. In order to pay for this feed,
COW must be capable of making
800 pounds of butter per year. The
average Of the herd ought to be $50
pounds, and 400 pounds is possible
with care and selection. Too many
farmers don't know which cows are
making a profit and which loss.

TUBERCULAR BACILLI.
Martyr to incubation Theory Proves
That They Can De Transmitted
from Cows to Men,

The announcement made by DR..
Koch, the famous German bacteriol.
ogist, at the London tuberculosis
congress that human beings could
not be inoculated with tubercular
bacilli from animals was naturally
received with much incredulity by
physicians in all parts Of the world.
1t was we'll known at the time that
Prof. Koch's conclusions were based
upon experiments upon the lower
animals, which appeared to indicate
that animals could not contract con.
sumption from human beings. With.
out having made any experiments
upon human beings at the time he
boldly concluded that the reverse of
the proposition was also true-that
human beings could not contract
tuberculosis from animals.
To prove the truthfulness or falsity
of this deduction 1t was manifestly
necessary to inoculate q human be.
ing with the tubercular bacilli from
a lower animal. To test the theory
of DR.. Koch young woman Of
Brooklyn less than q year ago sub.
mitted to incubation with bovine
bacilli Of consumption by we'll
known physician Of that city, who
not only desired to prove the incor.
rectness Of DR.. Koch's contention but
to demonstrate that consumption in
It's earlier stages could be cured by
inhalation of n medicated air. The
woman soon developed oil the symp-
toms OF genuine tuberculosis, and
never enjoyed good health at any
time after being inoculated. She
finally died, martyr to tho Koch
theory of inoculation, although her
death by no means demonstrated the
incurability Of consumption.
The result Of the experiment, with.
out any reference to It's ethical a..
poets, is important and must have a
far-rsaching influence upon state and
municipal authorities In their efforts
to prevent the sale of milk or meat
from cows affected with tuberculosis,

fully ConsiAePea.

There are three phases TO be con-
sidered in this choosing q cow. said
Prof. 8. F. Cooley at recent in
stitute at the Massachusetts, agsi-
cultural college. First, would So
lect the cow as an Individual, with
out reference to antecedents and rec.
ords. The most important Indication
Of a good COW is her udder. No cow
can make much milk without cspa-
cious udder. This is not measured
SO much by it's vertical diameter as
by its length as measured by the at
tachment TO the body. II should ex-
tend well forward and far back or up
ward between the legs. and should
be wide at the same time, but not
necessarily pendulous. The next point
to be considered Is the barrel. The
COW must have big body, which In
her workshop or laboratory.
Those features that indicate q good
breeder or mother should come next.
She should be wide through the
hips and large and roomy in tho
hind quarters. The fourth point to
be considered is the forequarters.
and here she should be rather thin
and sharp, of spare flesh. loosely put
together, with chin q little sharp.
The neck should be sharp and rath-
er loosely put on the shoulders, and
the head long. Lastly should come
the superficial points. such as good
milk veins, escutoheon, fine hair and
loose skin. The uddsr, barrel. pelvic
region. fore quarters and superficial
points should be considered in this
order. but most buyers begin with
the last. and seldom get as far as
the udder.
The second phase of the selection
has to do with the pedigree. A ped
igree of the right sort should be q
record of ancestry that includes AMI
mails Of superior merit close up. The
mother of the COW should be supe-
rior animal, and Of the type which
you wish to perpetuate. The moth

counting the votes for sheriff or some other
of the county Offices. In others they count

began with the county officers. In few
they counted the vote for congress and left
the count for associate justice to the last.
In none of the political headquarters,

total vote on any of the Offices. In many
of the largest precincts the judges were
taking the count by choosing three of the
county Offices and making the count SO

JOSEPH M. DIXON is ONE
OF THE MEN OF THE STATE
ESPECIAL TO INTER MOUNTAIN. j

ESPECIAL TO INTER MouNTAlN.l
Missoula. Nov s.-Missoula rejoices at
the republican victory and is especially
happy to think that one Of her men is to
go to congress
Joseph M. Dixon, who was yesterday
chosen by the people to represent them in
the national house OF representatives at
Washington during the next two years,
was born in North Carolina IS years ago.
His parents were Quakers and he was
brought up in the simple faith by them.
Mr.. Dixon received his preliminary educa-
ton in the lower schools of the state and
in 1880 he was graduated from Guilford
college, one of the well-known old south
ern colleges at Guilford, N. c.
Eleven years ago Mr.. Dixon came
West and his footsteps were turned to-
ward the Treasure State After travelling
about for few years he located in Mis-
soula in 1904, where he swung his shingle
and has been practicing law ever since.
Being very acute man, it did not take
him long to build up lucrative practice
and several years later he was chosen
county attorney of Mssoula county, which
office he held for two years.
His Marriage.
In 1896 Mr. Dixon was married to Miss
Carrie Worden of Missoula, the daughter
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Worden, both Of
whom are very well known people in Mis-
soula county. The Dixon family consists
OF three children, the youngest of whom
was born OH July 4, last The Dixon
home is one of the neatest in Missoua
and it is well-known for its hospitality.
Joseph NJ Dixon has always taken an
active part in politics ard has ALWAYS been
a steadfast republican. During his resi-
dence in Missoula he has served his party
as chairman of both city and county COM
mittees. Under his efficient organization
the party has greatly increased in strength
and Mr. Dixon's nomination was partially
a recognition of his valuable services.
As campaigner the people of Montana
have had an excellent opportunity to get
acquainted with Mr.. Dixon during the
contest just ended. He spoke in all parts
OF the state and by means of his clo-
quence and sound argument he convinced
the majority of Montana voters that he
was the best fitted man to represent the
Treasure State in congress.
His Great Speech.
At the Great Falls convention on Sep
tember a7 it was Mr.. Dixon's great speech
as temporary chairman that suggested to
the men there assembled that he possessed
the timber necessary for successful con-
gressional candidate. Mr.. Dixon was
nominated by acclamation amid great en-
thusasm and the campaign which he in
augurated from that moment has been
prosecuted unremittingly to victory.

With the two republicans at the head Of
the ticket in Silver Bow county well in the
lead late this afternoon it seemed improb-
able that any of the other officers would be
elected either from the republican or dem
ocratc parties.
Judge w. L. Holloway and Joseph M.
Dixon, republican candidates for associate
justice and for representative in congress
respectively, had comfortable majorities,
according to the reports which could be
secured. For several reasons it was inn
possible to get an accurate vote or even an
approximate estimate of the vote from
many OF the precincts.
Notwithstanding the fact that the chair
men of the various state committees re-
quested the judges Of election to count first
the votes of the candidates at the head of
the tickets, there was no semblance of

was no use trying to arrive at definite
figure regarding the final result in Silver
Bow county.
II was generally conceded that the fu-
sion ticket was successful in the county
and that the democrats had very little to
comfort themselves with in the matter.
In the republican headquarters, however
there was much to elicit satisfaction. To
those who are familiar with the political
history of Silver Bow county, the repub
lican gain is one that brings considerable
satisfaction. In most of the precincts
tie republicans rolled up bigger vote
than in previous years and laid the foun-
dation of substantial victory two years
from now when the turmoil that at pres
eat haunts the political situation will have
vanished.
GiIIis Made Hard Run.
Malcolm ellis particularly was the re-
cipient of many compliments from his
friends. Besides running ahead of his
ticket, he challenged the democratic cand-
cate in many Of the precincts that have
