Some Absurd Claims.
Prof. Blackshaw next spoke on the
subject OF the work at Kingston col.
lege. and he said he had been sorry to
hear what was being proposed in re.
spect to tuberculosis. He said that
1t was absurd to say that consumption
was caused only through the milk,
because the only way in which milk
spread consumption was when there
was a diseased udder, and that was q
very rare occurrence. 1t beloved them
most particularly to look after them
selves, and to stand n with the 9th

advantage in enlisting their sympathiea
beyond furthering agriculture and ad.
vancing the interests Of farmers gen

No Advance In Price Here.
The price Of milk in Laramie has
not advanced with hat of other food
products. 1t is low compared to the
cost in other localities. The proposed
license with its accompanying expense
for tests will be a hardship to the poor
woman who keeps a COW and sells
milk for five or six cents a quart, there.
by trying to exc out a living in add.
ton to taking in washing.
Public Not CIamoring.
Every precautionary measure should
be taken for health and public protec.
tion. No clamoring on the part Of the
public has been heard regarding this
matter, but, If the proposed measure
is necessary, let us be on the safe
side and let those who are benefited
by the protection pay for it 80

To the Editor of The Republican.
Concerning the proposition for an
ordinance compelling all milk dealers
to take out a license, and said license
requiring tests of milk to be made,
your attention is called to the DELHI
Grafton Of a Dairy Farmers associa-
ton of tw~enty-eight years experience
in England.
Public Should Pay.
Your attention Is particularly d.
rected to the fairness Of the statement
that, If measures are to be taken for
the protection Of the public, the public
should pay for the same. Also that
dairymen should not be called upon to
bear the cost of experiments founded
upon theory, which are compelled by
the authorities, and, finally to the
statement Of Prof. Blackshaw, dis
paraging the extravagant statements
as to the spread Of consumption
through milk.
English Paper on Subject.
The Derby and Chesterfield Report
er of March Is. 1907, contains the fol-
lowing:
"The twenty-eighth annual meeting
of the perbyshire Dairy Farmers as
ISOLATION vas held in the st. James
hall, Derby, on Friday afternoon, when
Mr.. R. Finney, c. c., ]. P. and chair
man, presided. There was a large at
tendance, among those present being
Mr.. Lawrence Hardy, M. D. (Ashford,
KENT, Mr.. Gerald Hardy, M. F. H.,
Prof. Blackshaw principal Of the
Kingston college.
Killed at states Expense.
The chairman spoke in regard to
the question of tuberculosis and com.
pulsory slaughter of cattle. He con-
tended that cattle should not be
slaughtered at the expense Of the
farmer. They should be slaughtered
at the expense of the national ex
chequer. 1t had been stated that as
these cattle were to be slaughtered for
the protection Of the public the public
should pay for 1t, and the suggestion
was that half the cost should be borne
by the national exchequer and half by
the local rates, but in his opinion 1t
would be better for the whole to be
borne by the national exchequer.
M. P. Discussed Subject.
"Mr. Laurence Hardy was then in.
vited to address the meeting, and he
said he really came there at the sug'
gestion of his brother to hear their
views as a member for one Of the larg.
est agricultural constituencies in the
south, and as one who took a great
interest in matters referring to farm
ing.
Having expressed his accord with
what had been said about cooperation,
he asked them to carefully watch the
question Of tuberculosis. He was pleas
ed to say they had a strong friend at
the board Of agriculture in Sir Edward
Strachey.
Farmer Should Take Stand.
1t was a grave and important ques'
ton, and the dairy farmer ought not
to be called upon to bear the cost OF
the experiments which were going to
be made by the state in this matter
If the state was going to put forward
ideas which were at present founded
upon theory the cost should not fall

The one-story building adjoining the

to the Atkinson residence. 1t is not
