Where Tuberculosis Breeds.

tuberculosis does not find its vic.
tins among the scrub cows that
browse the roadside in summer and
find shelter behind straw stacks in
winter; nor among those who roam In
wide, well-watered pastures and are
housed in barns through whose cracks
the SHOWS and winds of winter SIT.
It Is among the herds whose winter
quarters are basement dungeons Where
little air and less sunlight finds en-
trance. and those that are warmly
housed and highly fed on ratiors cal
culatei to force the secretion of milk
to the utmost limit. that the severe
losses occur. snys Farming. 1t is par.
ticularly n dis ase of pampered ami
mails. The highly bred animal Is not
essentially more susceptible; the
fault is with the man who should be
ahead of the COW" instead of behind
her." There are the extremes of the in
human stables of the ignorant, and the
unnatural conditions maintained by
the scientific breeder" The latter
class will be the first to rcaliz" their
mistake and rectify it. The former will
need deal of education and demon
stration in the line of sanitation.

THE MAN WITH THE SHOVEL.
There Are Millions Of Him Delvlng
for Earth's Wealth.

I'VE sold in 1906" says a Boston
manufacturer. 100000 dozen shove.s
and delivered them to railroads. min
ing companies and other large users.
One might think so many shovels
would be enough for time, but this
year our sales will amount to AGO.
900 dozen. or little less than $1,000
600 shovels."
Every phase of activity entering
into the prosperity of the country has
been commented uron until 1t would
seem that there Is no feature entirel"
new, yet the production OF shove's,
certainly a fine index. has not been
much thought about. Five million
shovels must mean great labor in i'm
provement and preparation for new
wealth taken out OF the earth. None
tary records. new showings in I'M
ports and exports. manufacturing to-
tails not before reached. and new high
bank clearings have all been consid-
cred as representative of the pros
perity now enjoyed. yet nothing could
be so truly significant as the illustra-
ton here afforded. This is the year OF
the man with the shovel. Nothing
more basic could be found. and an apt
and expressive name for the period
would be the year of the 100000

THE AGE OF CLAY.

Many Uses.

In spite of the fact that the largest
corporation in the world is devoted TO
the exploitation of iron and steel the

age. 1t Is pointed out that we can al

which 1t will require to exhause these

to be the substitute for iron. The ex.
perts have an answer ready. We Will
