KANSAS CATTLE HEALTHY
rhe> Military Board Makes an Interest
Ing Report Z

NJ. G. CampbeIl, chairman Of tn
Kansas state live stock sanitary board,
is making an investigation into report
ed cases Of tuberculosis in cattle. The
board is making an effort TO stamp
out the disease.
There is no cause for alarm" said
Mr.. Campbell, except SO far as the
local effect is concerned. tuberculosis
is o a fast spreading disease. In
Kansas it Is confined to a few Of the
larger cities, and doubtless will be re-
moved soon. There are a few cases In
Shawnee county and Sedgwick county
and the disease is reported to be in
Leavenwoith. The disease is confined
generally to Jersey cattle. Few town
people take proper care Of their cows.
In the country tuberculosis is rarely
heard of because the cattle have plenty
Of air and exercise and their sheds arc
kept clean.
THE live stock sanitary commission
took vigorous steps to keep tuberculous
cattle out Of Kansas a few years ago..
but the breeders made so much fuss
about it that we rescinded the order.
Since then little has been done, except
to investigate reports Of tuberculosis
and to have infected cattle disposed Of
II is safe to say that the cattle of the
gtate are in no danger from the few
cases which lately have attracted at
tention, although the commission ex-
poets to make a thorough investigation

OATS FOR ARID NEBRASKA
Experiment station Finds Well Adapted
Variety

Tests of a new variety Of oats are re-
ported in bulletin Nc. SO of the Me-
braska experiment station. These Data
were imported by the station from Rus
STA in 1897, and are called Kherson
oats. The variety originated in the
KhersoR government in southern Rus.
STA. The climatic conditions of that
region are not such as are favorable
to the production of oats. The average
yearly rainfall is only sixteen inches,
and the m are extremely hot.
The Kherson oat is a vigorous bu,
not a rank grower. The straw is very
short; the leaves are broad and expose
a large surface. The berries are light
yellow in color, small but numerous
and have a very thin hull. The usual.
ly weigh well per bushel. They mature
very early.
This variety is peculiarly suited &c
central and western Nebraska on &C.
count of its habits of growth.
In the spring OF 1901 seed OF Kher.
son oats was sent out to a number OF
persons in various parts of the state
to test. Two bushels of oats were sent
to each eXperimenter and he was asked
to thresh the crop separately and to
report the results. This was repeated
in 1902 and 1903 as more seed became
available. The results of the three
years tests are given in the bulletin.
These show it to be peculiarly suited
to central and western Nebraska:
there are other varieties that in the
river counties. at least, compare fay-
orably with II. West Of that, tests
that have been made Of it during the
three years, indicate that it Is earlier,
yields better and weighs heavier than
any other variety, with the possible
exception of the Texas Red. 1t has
steadily out yielded the Texas Red on
the station farm. T. l.. LYON,

Uouglas county against Frank Z.
Moores I'm favor Of the county-render-
ing judgment for the county in the
sum Of about sl,75Oo. about 5000 OF
which represents interest. Suit was
brought for about $4,000. This is the
first of several suits. and represented
the county's claim on account Of un-
claimed witness fees and lower court
costs collected during Moores' first
term Of Office as clerk of the district
court.
These suits are based On the supreme
courts reversal of the opinion in which
it first held that Moores could not be
required to pay over the unclaimed
witness fees TO the county, on the
ground that they belonged to witnesses
and not to the county. A later deci-
sion held that Mooros had no title to
them, holding them merely by virtue
OF his Office. and that when he went
out of Office he should have paid them
over to the county.
Former County Attorney Shields was
retained by the county commissioners
TO prosecute suits to recover the
money.
