The Rocky Mountain Region as
Breeding Ground for Horses.

u. u"
In locating the national horse-breed
ing station in Colorado. the experts in
charge Of this experimental work took
cogniaance of the advantages offered
in the altitude aud climate Of the
Rocky Mountain region. Fort Collins
is located about fifty miles north Of
Denver, few miles east-of the Rocky
Mountain foothills. on these high
plains the tiny threetoed horse, whose
remains were found by the Whitney
scientific expedition, roamed in pre-.
historic ages. On these wonderful up
lands, approximately mile above sea
level, everything tends to the prodic,
ton Of a perfect horse. Sound bones
and hoofs, great lung power and good
size are most desired in a horse. The
bone Of the native Colorado horse is
as dense as a piece Of ivory. The dry
atmosphere develops a hoof as solid
that native horse can travel miles
over the rockiest country and suffer
no inconvenience from lack Of shoes.
The high altitude develops heart and
lung power that gives the Colorado
horse wind and courage to make a hun.
drel miles q day and repeat the per.
Torrance next day without injury. The
climatic conditions and pure air and
water are apparently conducive to
speedy growth, while the native grass.
,es, sun-cured on the plains, have al.
ways been considered the finest feed
forany kind Of live stock.
Wyoming, Montana, Utah and, thu
Dakotas are also admirable breeding
grounds for sturdy horses. The won.
derful feats of endurance performed
by pony express riders and government
scouts AMI soldiers in the west would.
not have been possible had not the
tirless western horse been available.
The wetern COW pony to-day is the
most hardy, active, and courageous
animal in the world, and can stand
more hard work on less food and less
care than any other type of equine
all due, no doubt, to the ideal condl;
tions Of climate and atmosphere offer
ed by the western states.-From "De.
veloping a National Type of Horse"

CLEVELAND BOY BAD AGAIN.
Knock on Head Offsets Reformatory
Work OF Surgeons.

Cleveland. O.-The fates seem to
have decided that l5-year-Old Leo
Dean shall be a bad boy, in spite of
Juvenile courts. ref0Tmatories and sur
ze0ns' trepanning.
Leo had quite a record as an incOr-
rigible before it was discovered that
MS peryersity dated from a whack on
The head he had received when a child.
Cranial surgery for the correction Of
mental abnOrmaliJies was just com
ing into vogue and through the instru-
mentality Of the juvenile court Leo
became one of the first subjects ex-
perimented upon here. Drs George
". Grille and Harry II, Drysdale re-
Heved the pressure on Leo's brain and
Leo got to be a very good boy in
deed
One day he say some men taking
down an awning The spectacle en-
chanted him and he stood gazing up
ward. 4 hammer slipped, fell and by
an almost incredible mischance
cracked Leo on the head in the exact
spot where fate had buffeted him in
childhood.
Now Leo is a bad boy again, a very,
very wayward delinquent. Mrs. Gala,
CHAN, probation officer, has interested
herself in his behalf and hopes to in
duce the surgeons to repeat their
work as the fates did theirs.

DOGS CAN HAVE APPENDICITIS.
Veterinary Surgeon of Monroe, Mich.
Finds Three Cases.

Monroe, Mich.-Dr. A. L. Tiffany,
young veterinary surgeon OF this
place, has decided that dogs are sub
iect to the diseases of the yermiform
appendix, the same as human beings,
and that death will result from the in
aammation of that organ in dogs as
we'll as human beings.
DR.. Tiffany was called some days
ago to treat a pet fox hound and dis
covered that cathartics had no effect,
and the dog died last night. The doc,
tor decided to find the cause of death.
He found the organs in general good
order. but the regions Of the kidneys
and intestines was highly infamed
and the appendix doubled back of it.
self and was the center Of the infam-
nation.
This is the third instance which the
doctor has found where the death of a
dog might be ascribed to appendicitis
and to his knowledge the subject
never has been treated in any work
upon the diseases of domestic ami
mails.

INFANT DEATH RATE REDUCED.
Novel Scheme of an Englishman Les
sens Mortality.

London. Alderman BENJAMIN
Broadbent, NJ. D., the retiring mayor
of Huddersfeld. England. has just an
nOunced the result OF the two years
test of his novel scheme for the pre-
ventiOn of infant mortality in his ma
tive part OF the bOrough-LOngWOod
On taking Office as chief magls-
trate two years ago, Alderman Broad
bent offered five dollars to the parents
of each child born during the period
of his mayoralty that reached the age
of II months
Instructions to mothers-some of
which were suggested by the princess
Of Wales-were sent out, and the
mothers were visited by voluntary
women visitors, who reported prog
resS.
The Hrddersfield rate of infantile
mortality had averaged 139 for ten
years, and in Longwood itself the av-
srage for ten years was I22.
In Mayor BTOadbent's two years 1I2
babies received the promissory note
card for five dollars. Of that number
l07 had actually received the gift he
had offered. Out of the five left four
had died and one had been removed
from the district and he did not know
whether the child still lived or not
If he counted only the four deaths
the figures were 35 per LOCO, and if
he counted the missing baby as dead
the figures were "A. These figures
compared very strikingly with the
previous figures of 122 per 1000 for
Longwood and the average of 139 in
the whole town of Huddersfield.
The experiment has reduced the
death rate to much less than half.
His own estimate of the result was
that it was astounding. For exactly
II months-frOm October 8, 1905, to
October 9, l906-nOt one of the babies
on his list died under the age of one
year The babies belonged to all
classes and there was no selection.
some living in places hardly better
than slums.
Very great general interest has
been taken in Alderman Broadbent's
experiment and inquiries, including
one from President Roosevelt, have
been received from municipalities all

COWMOSTDANGEROUS
CAUSES MORE DEATHS THAN ANY
OTHER BEAST.
Bureau of Animal industry Issues Bul.
letin Of Warning as to Dan
ger of tuberculosis from
Milk

Washington.-In a most remarkable
report published as a bulletin by the
bureau of animal industry of the de-
parment of agriculture, warning is
sounded as to the danger of tuberculo-
SIS being communicated to human be-
ings through COWS.
The bulletin embOdies a report of
experiments that have been conducted
by DR.. Z. c. Schroeder and w E. Cot
ton, of the experiment station of the
bureau of animal industry They have
undertaken experiments with hogs
and cattle for the main purpose of
testing the susceptibility of the lung
TO infection from tubercle bacilli re-
gardless of the point at which the ma
terial enters the body. Not only was
it shown that tuberculosis may read
iIy be caused in the lungs, no matter
through what channel the bacilli gain
entrance TO the body, but various 9th
at facts were demonstrated having an
important bearing on the cOmmunica-
riOn of this dread disease.
The experts as a result of their in
designations conclude that tuberculosis
is contracted through the entrance Of
tuhercle bacfl!i. thar the lung is the
organ most frequently affected. regard
less of where the infectious material
enters the body: that tuberculosis in
lection may pass from one part of the
DOdy to another without leaving a
chain Of LESSONS to mark its path; that
fresh tubercle material has the high
est significance. and that dried and
pulverized material has a doubtful sig
niiicance.
These important conclusions in re-
gard 10 the cattle and dairy products
are drawn:
tuberculosis material from cattle
has the highest yirulence for all tested
species OF the mammalian kingdom, to
which man anatomically and phys
icany belongs, and tuberculosis ma
terial from man has lower viru-
lence.
Man is constantly exposed to fresh
tuberculosis material in a helpless way
through his use of dairy products
from uberculOus cattle
While many cases of tuberculosis
undoubtedly have their origin through
food directly or indirectly infected
@ith fresh tuberculous persons, there
* no means to-day by which persons
are brought into closer cOntac~ with
'resh tuberculosis material than milk
and dairy products obtained from and
N the environment of tuberculous
COWS The wide use of milk. its rapid
distribution because of its perishable
character. the ease with which it may
be contaminated, all speak for one
conclusion, namely. that We have no
more active agent than the tuber-
culous COW for the increase of tuber-
ruiosis among animals and its per-
slstence among men,"

Country's Output for the Year 1905
Worth 1928, ,s77, 1927.

WashingtOn.-A most interesting
chapter in the volume entitled Min
eral Resources of the United States,
1905" published by the United States
geological survey, is that which con-
tai9s a summary of the mineral pro-
duction of the United States during
that year.
In 1905. for the seventh time, the
total value of the country's mineral
production exceeded the enormous
sum of $1,000, ,OsJ, 600. The exact fig
ures for 1905 are S1.623,877,127, as
compared with $I.36O,S83, ,554 in 1904.
As heretofore. iron and coal are the
most important mineral products.
The value Of the iron in 1905 was
1882, 100000; the value of the coal,
S476. 756.963 The fuels increased
from $584,043, ,2S6 in 1904 to 1902, AT,

in 1905, or 7.3 per cent.
The gain of $262, ,993.573 in the to-
tai value of the mineral production is
due to gains in both metallic and non
metallic products, the metallic prod
ucts showing an increase from S5O1,-
099, $50 in 1904. to $702, ,453, ,10S in
1905. a gain of $201, ,353,15S, and the
nonmetallic products showing an In
crease from $S59.3S3, ,604 in 1904 to
$92I03t019 in 1905. a gain of s61,-
64O,4IJ To these products should be
added uuspecified products. including
m0lybdenum. bismuth. tungsten and
other mineral products, valued at
s400. 900, making the total mineral
production for 1905 of $1,623, ,877, ,127.
Besides the usual table and sum-
mary of quantities and values of the
country's mineral output by products,
the volume contains this year, for the
first time. a summary. in tabulated
form. of the value of the mineral
| products by states
