xious mother: Il got here all right

is very nice place to have fun. A
fellow and I went out IN a boat and
the boat tipped over and a man got
me out, and l was so full of water
that l didn't know nothin' for a
good long while. The other boy
has to be buried after,they find him.
His mother came from Lincoln and
she cries all the time. A boss kiched
me over and l got to have some
money to paw the doctor for fixing
my head. We are going to set an
old barn on fire tonight and I should
smile if we don't have bully fun. l
lost my watch and am very sorry.
l shall bring home some mud turtles,
and I shall bring home a tame
Woodstock If I can get HIM IN my
trunk"
A move is made by Dr. Russell.
of the State University, to have the
short course students in agriculture
60 out into their respective Iocali-
ties and test the cattle of different
farmers for tuberculosis. The course
will be finished shortly and the
boys will be qualified for the work
of testing properly the dairy herds
of the state. A good many of the
four hundred farmers of the ten
days course bonght syringes, ther
mometers, etc, to do the testing
and the station gave them all the
tuberculin it had on hand. Every
body who saw the COWS killed
which had reacted to the test, were
enthusiastic regarding the testing
of the cattle at home and before
summer good many herds will be
tested in Wisconsin. Some of the
boys are coming into Grant
county.
