probably, in some form or other, uni

forms Of TIA penny saved is a penny

spared is penny saved" C"Quien come
Y dexa, dos veces pone la mesa'D. In
Dutch, "A penny spared is better than
a form gained" C'Een stuiver gespaard

In Danish, "a penny in time is as good
as dollar" cen SHILLING er Tide saa

Similarly in German, Saving Is a

A Tough Cure.


Faith will do wonders. A woman in
Devonshire, England, recently said to a
chemist:
1--WE got cruel, bad cough, surely.
I've heerd that bronchial troches are
good things. Hav'ee got any?'' "a =
The assistant pointed to a small box
on the table and said:
Eyes; there they are"
"How much is it?' was the inquiry.
The price was paid, and the old wo-
man took her departure. At night the
assistant missed box of glycerin
soap (three cakes.
A couple of days afterward she re-
turned to the shop and said:
II want'ee to take back two Of them
things had t'other day. I took one Of
'em. 1t was mortal hard to chew and
awful to swallow, but it cured the
cough."-London Queen.

and kept at the expense of the pur-

owners, in order to help in lessening
the evil. All testing done by order
of the board is done without charge.
Of course any owner Of cattle may
have such testing done as may seem
good to him at any time, but it is
done at his own expense. Any cattle
condemned as being tuberculous and
slaughtered are paid for by the state
to the extent of three.fourth of the
value. But such appraised

The covering Of Southern Min
nesota with a network of electric
lines means surely a great impetus
TO the development Of this part OF
the state, and huge increase in

ment in transportation facilities
such as afforded by these electric

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE
A Frequent Source Of Infection
Of Human Beings

The extent to which tuberculosis
among cattle exists in our state is in
a sense alarming, and yet it is not
present now in greater degree than it
was long years ago, but those who
own cattle are coming to know as
they did not know in the past, that
this white plague among bovines is
danger which they cannot afford to
trife With. 1t would probably be
correct to say that it is responsible
for more loss in relation to cattle
than all other diseases combined. It
is now coming to be understood that
tuberculosis is readily commune
able disease, and that the germs re-
main in stables long after the tuber-
culous cattle kept in them have been
removed.
For several years after the discov-
cry and introduction of the tubercu-
lin test, the owners of cattle gener-
ally arrayed themselves against it's
use, for many reasons that cannot be
given here and, as a result of this at
titude, legislation on the subject of
tuberculosis WINS but of little avail.
Recently, however, cattle owners are
coming to see it in its true light. This
explains why at the present time the
livestock sanitary board is scarcely
able to overtake the work asked of it
in this line.
Legislation on the subject in our
state is not yet perfect, but in this re-
spect Minnesota is away in the van
among the states of the union. The
existing legislation in regard to it is
substantially as follows: First. cattle
imported into the state from beyond
its boundaries must be subjected to
the tuberculin test shipment. A GER
tificate showing a clean bill of health
should be furnished to the railroad a.
gent at the point of shipment. Where
this requirement is not complied
with, cattle brought into the state
may be detained at unloading3 point

The Horseshoe.

According to the old superstition, If
you find horseshoe and nail it over a
door or on door Of entrance to your
house or fat witches cannot enter. This
belief is universal. The horseshoe as
an amulet is known among Turks,
Jews, gentiles, infdels, believers, here
tics. The crescent emblem Of the Bud
dhists is a horseshoe. The safeguard
against witchcraft may be found in
Tunis, Constantinople, Spain, Sicily.

covered the continent and the pilgrim
fathers landed at Plymouth Rock on

value cannot go beyond $35 in the
case of cattle that are not registered,
and SIS in the case of animals that
are registered.
As far as it goes, the Legislation
bearing en- the question is good, but
it is not yet perfect. For instance, it
is yet possible for animals to be
brought into the atate that are tub.
erculous. The railroad agent may let
them pass without the health certifi-
cate, and the cattle may reach their
destination without hindrance from
any one. It will be at once apparent
how difficult it is to enforce legisla.
ton bearing on this phase Of the
question. A second defect in legisla-
tive enactment is that it does not
compel tho dairyman to disinfect his
stables after tuberculous cattle have
been removed from them. Nor is the
dairyman who furnishes milk to
cities required to purchase cows for
the replenishing of his herd subject
to test. 1t may happen. therefore,
that infected COWS may all be re-
moved from herd, and immediately
thereafter tuberculous COWS may all
be brought in to take the place of
those removed. In such way the
disease IS allowed to become en-
trenched again. Furthermore, the
law does not compel submission to
the tuberculin test at stated times,
that is, it does not require the tests to
be repeated with sufficient frequency
to make it certain that the disease
has been completely removed.
The most encouraging feature in
the whole matter is the changing at
titude of the owners of cattle. As
they come to understand its true
nature, they will be most interested
in having it removed from their
herds. The person who rears his
own cattle can without great difficult
ty keep his herd free from tubercu-
losis, but this is not so easy on the
part of the dairyman who replenishes
his herd thru purchasing. Until he
is convinced that it is to his interest
to buy COWS subject to the tuberculin
test, he may expect more or less
trouble to arise in bis herd from this
scource.
In order to make it possible for
dairymen to obtain tested COWS, the
livestock sanitary board have tsken it
upon themselves to maintain vet.
teriuarian at South St.Paul to test all
animals.
The sanitation of stables must also
be given attention if tuberculosis is
to be kept at bay. Minnesota winters
are cold, and exposure to cold beyond
a certain degree is adverse to milk
giving. Because of this, the tempta-
ton is present to keep the stables
warm and to aid in warming them as
far as practicable by excluding the
cold air. The ventilation is thus
insufficient. This lack of ventilation,
more than anything else, perhaps, is
responsible for the alarming extent
to which tuberculosis is present to
in the state.-Prof Thos. Shaw in
Minneapolis Journal.
