TUBERCULOSIS IN THE DAIRY.

There is probably no disease in the
 k'hole category common to both man and beast which Is today receiving more earnest or careful consideration than tuberculosis. At no time has there been a fuller realization of the possi- bility of infection from 1t or so gen eral an interest in sensible methods for checking and preventing ravages by 1t. Among these methods the fresh air and sunshine treatment or outdoor cure, is receiving especial attention. \ tuber- culosis specialist in the course of a paper read at a recent medical conven- ton cited the case of several monkeys in the Lincoln park ZOO at Chicago which were in the last stages of tuber- culosis. but which were entirely cured by exposing them in their open cage to all kinds of weather during the winter months. So successful did the expert ment prove that the same treatment will be used with all other apes and monkeys in tke garden. whose average life in confinement has been but four teen months. The case here cited Is but q preliminary to the expression of a belief that large percentage of tuber- culosis cases among dairy cows Is the direct result of the pernicious practice of keeping them closely confined dur ing the winter months in badly lighted and poorly ventilated stables. every breath of clean. fresh air possible being kept out in order to prevent lowering of the stable temperature. And where the COWS are kept confined in the stable during the summer months, as Is true with a number of silo dairies, the dan- ger from propagation and spreading of the disease would seem to be greatly increased. In this connection 1t would seem to be pertinent to cite experiments carried on by the Illinois experiment station during the past two or three winters. which proved conclusively that dairy cows that were left out all win ter, but given a wholesome and nutri- dous ration and clean, dry, open shed in which to sleep nights, and stabled only at milking time, not only came out healthier and stronger in the spring. record than a like number of COWS fed the same ration. but kept closely stabbed during the entire period. It stands to reason that if tuberculosis Is propa- gated in monkeys and men by lack of fresh air and sunshine the same thing would be true of the dairy COW. It may take some time for this fresh air and sunshine propaganda to gain 6 foothold among stock raisers and dairy men, but 1t is bound to come before long, willy nilly. The way to check tuberculosis in hogs Is to give them clean, dry and we'll ventilated quarters and to quit feeding them milk from tuberculosis infected COWS, and the way to stamp the plague out of the dairy is to dispose of those animals known to be infected and to provide those remaining with the same kind of quarters as suggested for the hogs. with guarantee of fresh air and sunshine during every hour possible out of the twenty-four

An inspection of the different crop totals and averages covering period of years forces the conviction that there must be woeful amount of shoddy. shabby. slipshod farming to ac- count for the amazingly low averages that are credited to the different crop products. It simply means that there is a big nigger in the agricultural woodpile. and 1t is with view of get ting him out that a large portion of the funds and efforts of the agricultural department is expended.
 Among the worst kind of people that can come into a community are the migratory class or those that do not possess or have any desire to possess any regular employment. These people have nothing themselves. hare nothing to give to the community and In the end carry away the little they may have earned to spend else where. Their home life Is miserable makeshift. and the children are poorly clothed and fed. Their motto reads, ''The easiest way Is alwayS the best way"

EXCITING FIGHT.
Jack McEwen is the Hero-Met With
Big Bear.

The tale of an exciting fight be-
tween sheepherder and bear was
brought to town today and If the mar
rative as given, is true, Jack Nc
Even, the hero of the fight, has rea-
son to rejoice that he is still alive.
According to the account given
McEwen, who is herding in the
mountains southeast of this city, met
with a bear several days ago and he
was a bruin of ponderous size. AL
though the herder had a gun with
him the bear was on him so quick he
could not use it, and he was run
down and thought his time had come
Just at this juncture two sheep dogs
came to the rescue and by barking
and swapping at the bear they at
traoted his attention SO that the
herder managed to escape and, get
ting a few feet away, fired several
shots into the animal, killing him.

From a recent federal census bu-
reau report it is learned that there
has been startling and sensational
increase In the number of insane per-
sons In this country during the last
13 years. A bulletin just issued by the
census bureau shows that within that
period the number has doubled. A;
the close of the year 1904 it is shown
that there were 1878 persons under
restraint in the 32S madhouses in this
country, and no account was taken OF
the hopelessly insane who are con-
fined in the insane wards of the coun-
ty almshouses and the private hospi-
tails for the insane throughout the
country, The number Of insane asy-
lums also doubled The number OF
insane in hospitals to each 100000 of
population increased from Sic in
1850 to 11S.2 in 1890, and 1862 in
1904. tit
One of the most remarkable feat
ures Of these statistics is the fact that
among the native whites there is more
insanity among the males, while
among the foreign-born whites the
women are more apt to lose then
reason than men.
Although there is nothing definite
to show 1t, there is a deep-seated i'm
preston among the census experts
that American men go insane as the
result of their strenuous efforts to ge.
money with which to support their
families, while among the foreign.
born. insanity among females is the
result of overwork in their efforts to
sustain their families.
Insanity appears to be more preva-
lent among the foreign-born whites
than among the native. None of the
insane in the hospitals is under 12
years old, and the majority of inmates
of unsound mind are between the ages
of 20 and As, which indicates that in
sanity is most likely to occur during
the prime of life.
More than 60 per cent of the insane
are between the ages of 20 and As.

The number of insane admitted tc

The number of insane admitted to
hospitals during 1904, added to the
number on December 81, 1908, makes
total of 199,773 insane persons pres
ent in hospitals during the whole or
part of the year 1904. OF this num-
Der, 49,622, or PAS per cent, were ad-
mitted during the year; 22,524, or
11.3 per cent, were discharged; A.
424, of 7.2O per cent, died; ATS, or
"a per cent, were transferred to other
institutions. OF the discharged 76 per
cent We're classed as improved.
The number of insane males in hos
pitals was 2O,635 in 1880, $3.50 III
1880. and 7S.523 on December 81,
1903 and of insane women 20,307 in
1880, S5,69S in 1890, and 71.62S on
December 81, 1903. The numbers
for 100000 of corresponding popula-
tion in 1880, 1890, 1908 were respec-
lively, S0.3, 1853 and 1902 for males,
and s2.4, 1858 and 1872 for females.

Reversing the Shipments.

w. L. La Toilette was In Pullman

shipping n large amount of peaches
to Lewiston, 1000 boxes having been
sent so far. He is receiving 65, rs
and S5 cents box for them. on ac-
count of the river being so low that
steamer traffic has been discontinued
the fruit was brought to Pullman ans
shipped over the Northern Pacific to
that place.
II is a queer prank of nature that
compels Lewiston to ship in peaches.
Heretofore that district has had
thousands of boxes to ship to outside
markets.

vailing high prices, will net him a
large sum this year. although the
crop is only small per cent of what
it should be under ordinary condi-
