The annual report of Hon Heman o. Averill, the capable state commis. Sioner of domestic animals, has been laid upon our desk and is an interest. ing, pamphlet of 30 pages. The calls received by the commissioner to exam. inc suspicious cases of bovine tubercu. losis have steadily and rapidly in. creased since the present law was en- acted in 1897. This is clearly an indi- cation that cattle owners are coming to realize more and more that the dis ease is contagious and that one ami nal having the disease in an advanced form in a herd of COWS endangers the
 health and well-being of it's herd mates and threatens to wipe out the profits of the herd. Farmers are watching their herds more closely than they have in the past, and when
 they notice the first suspicious symp- tom of the dread disease they consider it in the light of danger signal, and

 and anxious to aid them in eradicating
 the trouble, they report their cases to

To the Editor of THE NEwTowN BEE, Dear Sir: I have recently pur- chased a very attractive volume en- titled "Newtown's Bi-centennial" with which I know you are familiar. Not only is it ably written and taste fully compiled, but as historical doc ument consider it as of the greatest value to all residents of Newtown and vicinity. It contains an account of a most notable day which will in future generations be read with great inter- est, and is also filled with a great many interesting facts relating to the past history of Newtown, which are here gathered in such convenient shape as to be accessible to everyone. Such work as this should be highly prized by all residents as landmark in human progress, and should prove to be an inspiration to many of it's readers.
 Yours very truly,
 RALPH E. DANFORTH.
