HERE'S TO THE
new CARDIFF
Contract Let for Grading and Car
peaterS Bidding on Engine
House to Be Completed
Within 60 Days
Ed HUGHES TO BUILD COTTAGES

Cardiff can now shake hands with
itself, as its future growth and de-
velopment is assured. Arrangements
have been formulated with the Glen
wood Light and Water company to
pipe water from Glenwood to Cardiff,
although no definite plans in regard
to particulars have been made at this
time. However the advertisement
this week for bids on an engine house
dispelled whatever doubt may have
been entertained in regard to the plans
of the Colorado Midland as announced
by the Post a few weeks ago, and sew
eral Glenwood contractors and carpen-
ters are busy figuring out their bids.
The specifications call for an eight
stall building 79x144 feet, and up to-
date in every particular, and the con
tractor must guarantee the completion
of the engine house in so days.
f. F. Mallon, chief engineer of the
road, has the work IN charge and will
rush everything through in the short
est time possible. The contract for
the grading has been let to G. G.
Harris of New Castle In order to
make more room than is contained in
the present Yshaped fiat of ground
comprising the present Yards, the c.
F. & 1. building will be moved back
from the tracks, which will make the
desired change in the size of the yards.
Cardiff will undoubtedly be the
passenger and freight division, and the
terminus Of all engines between Lead
vile and Grand Junction The road
also contemplates the addition of a
dining car on all trains. SO there will
erected at Cardiff.
The increased population of the
coke town as a result of this change
to be made by the railroad company,
dence property, and Ed S. Hughes of
this city will meet the emergency by
erecting ten or twelve cottages to ac-
commodate the railroad men and their
families.
One of the ''castles in Spain"
which is being INDUCED in since the
Cardiff plans have become public has
been an electric railway between
Glenwood and that town. That such
venture would pay is at least within
the realm of posi- abilities, and that it
would be of untold value to GlenWood
and great convenience to Cardiff, is
without question. At any rate this
is problem for the local fnanciers
which will be solved in the future.

NAY
MAKE ALCOHOL
Government Official Discusses the
Manufacture of DeRdtured AL
COhOI and dIveS the
Present Output
DISTILLERIES COST Low AS 5000

Internal Revenue Commissioner
Yerkes, answering an inquiry recently
as to how many gallons of denatured
alcohol will approximately be needed
in the industries for 1907, says i, the
Scientific American:
Having absolutely nothing to base
an estimate upon, it is not possible
quantity of denatured alcohol that
will be consumed in that way. No
formal applications have as yet been
made by distileries for approval of
denaturing bonded warehouses. Snch
applications could not be filed for the
reason that the proper blanks have not
as yet been placed in the hands of
collectors At present there are forty
distilleres in the United States
manufacturing what might be termed
commercial alcohol.
In reply to a criticism of the law
on the ground that regular distilleries
only can engage in the manufacture
of denatured alcohol, enabling the
whiskey trust to secure practically a
monopoly, MI. Yerkes said;
This Office knows of no process by
which alcohol can be manufactured
except by distillation, and rs regular
distilleries are the only kind recog
nized oy the law, alcohol manufac.
tured under the supervision of this de.
partment must be manufactured at
regular distilleries. There are abso.
lutely no limitations as to the size of
distillery that can be operated under
the law. There are over / 900 distill.
cries in operation now at each of
which the daily spirit producing ca
pacity is less than 30 gallons. Many
of these were set up on an outlay of
less than 5000. So far as the internal
revenue laws are concerned, either in
theory or practice, the smallest and
crudest distillery can produce alcohol
if as business proposition it is
deemed advisable to do So The small
distileries have always been treated
by this department with the same
consideration as the larger ones.
'lf a farmer or other person desires
to 90 into the business of manufactur.
ing denatured alcohol, at a plant
however small, he will be required to
construct his plant in the manner pre-
scribed by the general laws and regu-
lations. He will be required to give
bond, the effect of which is to pre-.
vent him from defrauding the govern.
ment of the tax on any distilled spir-
its produced by him. He will be re-
quired to establish distillery ware
house; to deposit the spirits produced
by him in this warehouse; to estab.
lish denaturipg bonded warehouse
and to pay tax or denature. just as
he may wish the alcohol produced by
him. All of this will be done under
governmental supervision, but the
government pays for this supervision.
The manufacture of alcohol does not
bear one cent of it. There is no OBJ.
lection to a farmer manufacturing his
aclohol in his ''back yard provided
he wants to establish distillery
there. If you will take the trouble to
investigate you will find, in my opin-
ion, that the laws and regulations re-
lating to the manufacture of alcohol
in Germany do not differ to any great
extent from the laws and regulations
in this country"

TUBERCULOSIS A COMMON
DISEASE AMONG SWINE
comparative Effects
When Fed to Healthy Pigs.

tuberculosis is of frequent occur
renee in hogs, and, apparently, the
number of hogs so affected is on the
increase. So true is this in some sec
tons OF the country that packers are
cautious about buying hogs from those
localities. The carcasses of tuber-
culous animals are often so thoroughly
infected with the disease as to be UNI
Mt for food, and consequently are
source of loss to the packer. Where
animals are slaughtered without be-
ing subjected to careful inspection the
diseased meat is very certain to be I'M
Willingly used for food. A knowledge
Of the sources of infection is of pri-
mary importance to those who must
undertake the responsibility of check
ing it.
1t is known that the same bacillus
which produces tuberculosis in cattle
also produces the disease in hogs. The
exact extent to which cattle are the
cause OF It's presence among hogs is,
however, not known. Naturally, milk
is commonly considered one of the
main carriers of the disease. Many in
stances can be cited of droves of hogs
fed at some time in their lives on
whole milk, skim milk or buttermilk
that when slaughtered have shown
large proportion infected with tuber-
culosis.
At present there is a great deal of
interest taken in all that concerns
milk as source of tuberculous in
lection. The Importance of pasteur-
ling milk to be used for pig feeding
is demanding considerable attention.
For the purpose of investigating
some phases of this subject directly
associated with the use of milk, an ex-
pertinent was undertaken by the Iowa
Agricultural college, under the direc-
ton Of w. j. Kennedy, E. T. Robbins
and F. w. Bouska of the college fac
uity.
In this investigation the following
objects were sought:
1. To test the effect of feeding to
The Sisseton weekly standard. (Sisseton, Roberts County, S.D.) 1892-1929, 1907-12-13

The results indicate, however, very
clearly that pigs in dry lot are no
more likely to contract bovine tubercu-
losis than are pigs in pasture, either
from yards in which cattle have pre-
viously been kept or from infected
pigs occupying adjoining quarters.
There was, in general way, about
the same degree of infection among
the pigs of lot two on pasture and lot
four on dry lot, so that the more IA
vorable conditions for general thrift
and growth of the pigs on pasture ap-
parently had no influence with the dis.
ease. Noting the infection of the in.
c1Vidual pigs, it is seen that every pig
infected at all at time of slaughter
was affected in the glands of the cervi.
cal region; all but one were affected
in the bronchial region; about 80 per
cent. were affected in the portal and
mesenteric glands; one-half had af.
fected livers, while only 20 to 80 per
cent had affected spleens; 20 per cent
had tuberculous areas on the insides
OF the ribs and other parts of the
body, and only 20 per cent. had af.
fected lungs. 1t is, indeed, character.
istic of the disease in hogs that it is
present in the cervical glands if it is
present at all. and it is not at all Ger.
tain to be found in the lungs.
AS has previously been noted. the
records of the weights, feeds and gains
OF the pigs in the several lots Indicate
that, while pigs affected with bovine
tuberculosis may show by their out
ward appearance no perceptible diff
ference from healthy pigs, their feed
ing qualities are nevertheless to some
extent injured, so that they make
smaller gains and are likely to reonire
more feed for 100 pounds gain than
healthy pigs. The gains made by the
infected pigs enforce the same thought
The results of this experiment in
dictate:
!. That pigs fed milk containing yir-
ulent bacilli of bovine tuberculosis are
very likely to become quickly and Sc
rlously infected with the disease.
2. That properly pasteurized cream
cry skim milk is safe feed for pigs.
3. That pigs confined in small dry
yards are no more susceptible to tuber-
Gle bacilli taken in the food than are
pigs on pasture, while at the same
time they are fully as resistant as are
pasture-fed pigs to tubercle bacilli
from other sources.

pigs skim milk known to contain viru-
lent bacilli of bovine tuberculosis.
2. To test the effect of feeding pas.
teurized skim milk to pigs.
8. To determine whether there is
any difference in the susceptibility of
pigs fed tuberculous milk on pasture
and in small dry yards.
Forty pigs were divided into four
lots OF ten each and fed from July "a,
1906, to February S. 1907. each lot
being fed ration of corn meal and
shorts equal parts by weight with the
following differences in the treatment
of the lots:
Lot 1 was kept on timothy pasture
and fed pasteurized skim milk.
Lot 2 was kept on timothy and fed
skim milk containing bacilli of bovine
tuberculosis.
Lot 3 was kept in small dry yard
and fed pasteurized skim milk.
Lot was kept in a small dry yard
and fed skim milk containing bacilli
of bovine tuberculosis.
The skim milk fed to each lot of
pigs was pasteurized at the Randall
creamery. The heating was done by
steam, the temperature only and not
the time being controlled The tenn
perature is usually 200o F. All the
lots were fed equal quantities of every
lot of milk used. All the infected ma
terial, therefore, fed in the milk of lots
two and four was purposely intro
duced for this experiment. 1t was the
original plan to use only pure cultures
of the bacilli of bovine tuberculosis for
injecting the milk, but as these could
not be obtained in sufficient quantity
and of undoubted virulence, fresh.
tubercular bovine animal tissue was
also used In this way there could be
no doubt that the pigs of lots two and
four actually ingested virulent tuber-
Gle bacilli. The milk fed these two
lots was not all infected, but only at
intervals of a few days or weeks. Each
time the infectious material was thor
oughly mixed with the milk in the
trough just before the pigs were
turned to it SO none of the utensils ex-
cept the troughs of the infected lots
were contaminated. Altogether, in
fected milk was fed to lots two and
four seven times-on the following
dates: September rs, September 81,
October IS, November 1, November IL,
November IA and November 19.
One feed of milk was infected with
one liter of glycerin broth culture of
bovine tubercle bacilli 500 c. C. being
used for each lot of hogs. The other
feeds of milk were infected with bo-
vine tubercular tissue, mostly lungs
and livers. Microscopic examinations
of the tubercles we're made to verify
the disease This material was hashed
in meat chopper and mixed with the
milk at the rate Of three to five pounds
to q feed.

that even with the best of lightning

ence to copper, as the material out of

well be in the form of a cable of iron

The results of the inspection, after
fected milk We're all affected with
tuberculosis; also that lot one, fed
pasteurized milk on timothy pasture
had two infected pigs. one case being
so severe that the carcass was con-
demned.
Although the pigs of lots three and
four We're always in adjoining pens,
with only an open fence to separate
them, none of the pigs of lot three
had tuberculosis, while all Of lot four
had it, so it seems that the disease
is not likely to spread beyond the
limits of the pen in which the infected
animals are kept. The pigs of lot one
were separated by lane rod wide
from the pigs of lot two, so 1t does
not seem probable that they received
their infection from lot two. 1t is
possible that the pastures on which
the pigs Of lots one and two were kept
had been previously infected with the
tubercle bacillus from pasturing other
stock so affected, and that the two in
fected pigs of lot one contracted the
disease in that way. Or, it is possible
that they may have obtained it
through the pasteurized milk, al
though if they did it is strange the in
lection was not more general, as every
lot of milk was equally divided among
the four lots of pigs. Frequent tests
of the milk showed that the pasteuri-
zation had been thoroughly done, so
that this source of infection is not at
all probable. OF course, it should be
borne in mind that although the pigs
We're probably free from tuberculosis
at the beginning of the experiment, it
is not absolutely certain that none
were affected. So, while the exact
source of infection. of the two pigs of
lot one cannot be determined, it seems
most probable that, since none of the
pigs similarly fed in dry lot were in
fected, the blame should be attached
to other stock that may previously
have frequented the pasture of lot one.
