dresses Members on the Inspection
of Beef and Live Stock.

The meeting of the Laramie Liter.
airy club last night at the Carnegie
library was very well attended and
was of exceptional interest. C. P. Ar
mold, president Of the club, presided
and appointed Messrs. Louis Tyvold
and d. N. Stickney to act in the ca
pacities of chairman and critic of the
literary program.
Mr.. Arnold said that it had been
suggested to him that it would be a
good thing to have a spelling match
between teams from the Woman's club
and the Literary club, % cents to be
charged for admission and the pro-
ceeds to go toward some charitable
Christmas object. The idea met with
the approval OF the members, each one
making the condition, however, that
some other member should be chosen
as a representative, except in the Case
of several members who signified a
willingness to be placed upon the team
if the new simpliied spelling was al,
lowed.
Government Inspector Talks.

years in the big packing houses as a
government veterinary inspector, gave
a most interesting talk upon the sub
ject of government inspection of those
establishments, his time upon the floor
being indefinitely extended by unan-
imous consent of the members. The
doctor gave a description of the various
diseases for which the inspectors are
especially upon the lookout. In the
case of anthrax being found, the whis,
tie of the packing house is blown and
instantly every operation ceases unit.

in contact with the diseased ANNA
and the men employed have been thor
oughly disinfected.

terized as being particularly free from
disease of any kind, except actinomo,
COSTS or lumpy jaw. The percentage
of western cattle condemned at the
yards will not reach l per cent, where
as the percentage of cattle from some
eastern localities will reach as high as
7 per cent.
DR.. Delaney answered a large num-
Der of questions put to him by mem
bers of the club, many of them relat
ing to what ought to be done in rela-
ton to the assurance of wholesome
meat in localities where there is no
government supervision u slaughter

Twelve Weeks Course.
For the benefit of those interested in
agriculture and kindred subjects who
are unable to take the full college
urse yet who are eager to take ad-
vantage of a shorter course, in the
slack season, the University of Wyo-
ming has inaugurated a Winter Term
Course in Agriculture" This has ma
turally developed from the interest
shown in the short course of one
week in the last few years. Its success
depends as much upon the attendance
and enthusiasm displayed by those in-
terested as upon the courses planned
and the ability of the instructors. AS
to the courses in detail you may judge
of their possible help to you by the
brief sketches that appear in this an
nouncement by those who are to con-
duct the several classes.
Time of Beginning.
The course will begin January 2,
1907, at the university at Laramie. 1t
will continue for the twelve weeks OF
the winter term ending March Esd. No
entrance examinations will be requir-
ed in any of the classes. When the
course has been satisfactorily com
pleted a statement to that effect sign
ed by the instructors will be given to
n short course or other student.
