SYSTEMATIC WORK y
BY STATE AND NATION
Needed to Eradicate tuberculosis from
Animals, Reported Secretary Of
Agriculture James Wilson
TO-dav.

Washington, D. c., Dee l4--Secretary
Wilson OF the department of agriculture
reported to-day that the farm value OF
all farm products Of 1908 reaches the
most extraordinary total in the nations
history 81 IT'S 10000 This is about
four times the value of the products OF
the mines, including mineral oils and
precious metals. The farmer contributes
81 per cent. of the raw materials used
in those manufacturing industries which
depend mostly or considerably upon ag-
ricultural materials, and these industries
use AZ per cent Of all materials used in
all industries.
The gain in value OF farm products in
1908 over 1907 ia $3.50 100000 and would
have been much larger had not the
prices Of cotton and hay been low. The
value OF products in 1899. the census
year, being taken at 100, the value for
1908 stands 40 i25; for 1904, at l3l I;
for 1905, at 1874; for 1906, at l43; for
1907, at 1853; and for 1908, at lG5. Dur
ing the last ten years the wealth produc.
ton on the farms Of this country has
exceeded the fabulous sum of S6O,000,-
e00,000
On the subject Of tuberculosis in ami
mails, Secretary Wilson reports:
Statistics show that tuberculosis in
animals is on the increase A recent
estimate, based on the meat inspection
and the records Of the tubercnlin test
shows: beef cattle affected, per cent. !;
hogs, 2 per cent: dairy cattle, 10 per
cent. The financial loss 60 stockmen and
dairymen is estimated to be fully Sl4..
100000 per annum.
Tuberculosis can be eradicated from
our animals only by means of systematic
work Of the federal and state authorities
in cooperation, In order to discover the
disease the tuberculin test should be
Systematically applied The safest way
Of disposing Of affected animals il to
have them slaughtered at abattoirs hav-
ing competent veterinary inspection. Is
pecially valuable animals, however.
might be kept for breeding purposes

months.

a sTArE 49, COMMISSION.


At the same time that Vermont Ii CON
sidering the adyisability Of having q
state tax commission to systematic tax
alton throughout the state, New Hamp-
shire IL also agitating the same thing,
and its special investigating committee
has recommended the establishment Of a.
commission, Just as the Vermont inyes-
tigators did several months ago. The
bill to establish state commission is
still In The hands Of the legislature and
its fate seems to hang In the balance.
II there BE- any weight in the fact that
New Hampshire Ii after the same thing
which Vermont has q chance to get, the
measure ought to be given an impetus

CURRENT COMMENT.
Haryard,s Next .President.

The belief grows in Boston that the
presidency Of Harvard university has
been offered James j. Shorrow, one
of the board of overseers, and mem
Der Of the banking house Of Lee, Hig-
ginson & Co. It Is known that the
corporation has decided upon Presi-
dent Eliot's successor, but the name
will be withheld until tine oyerseers Of
the university shall have time to act.
The suppression, Of course, il that the
man chosen by the corporation win be
agreeable to the oveTaeers. Mr.. Stor-
row il graduate Of Harvard, trained
to the law and in practice before ne be
came an able man of business, and the
fact that be Ii the head Of Boston's
reorganized school board has given evi-
dence of his intelligent and practical
interest in educational matters. His
lack Of training in college teaching
would not Be looked upon as an in
surmountable objection. He would
make forceful and wide looking exc
cutive OF the sort DIR. Eliot and the
rest are looking for, and could be ex-
pected to master the academic side of
the Office. Springfield Republican.

The Panama Matter.

Lawyer Cromwelfs statement Il to be
welcomed. for IL traces the distribution
Of the S40,000,000 BY the French liquid
ators oil The old and new Panama canal
companies much farther than has ever
been done before. II appears from this
that several thousands of stockholders
received money according to their hold
ings and the lists of the stockholders,
according to Mt. Cromwell, are still In
France by examining them, an inquirer
ought to be able To determine whether
Americans held Panama canal stock ard
to what extent The lists remain to
be scrutinized, and it might be suggested
to the New York World that 1t would
be a good stroke Of enterprise to send
an agent To. Paris, with letter OF intro
duction from Mfr. Cromwell, for the ptr-
pose Of examining the stockholders lists
If the French officials will permit such a
proceeding Until that II done, It ii to
be feared that the suspicion Of American
ownership of certain amount Of Pan
anna stock will remain more or less alive
Let the suspicion be killed forever by
opening the books. Springfield Repub-
lican.

THE VERMONT NATIONAL GUARD.

In justice to several of the companies
Of the Vermont National Guard which
were scored by the inspecting officer,
Lieut.. Chapman, in the report published
throughout the state on Saturday, it
should be stated that the report was on
the condition Of the companies at the
time Of inspection last March, or nearly
a year ago. Since that time there have
been many changes either in the person
mel Of tie companies or in their commits
stoned officers; so that newspaper read
ers need to bear in mind that conditions
are not as bad at present as the report
painted them to be. The Vermont Ma
tional Guard i in none too satisfactory
shape, and 1t therefore should be given
the credit Of whatever Improvement
there been made during the time since
LIEUT.. Chapman made his report to the
war department. Nevertheless, the fact
remains obvious that the v, N. G. was
allowed to sink to low ebb az regards
some of its parts.

Iong before the war the appended simple but charmiog verses appear ed. without signature CT address, In short lived paper at little Rock) Where the rocks are gray and, the
 shore is steep, And the waters below look dark and
 deep. Where the rugged pine, in it's lonely
 pride, Leans gloomily over the murky tide; Where the reeds and rushes are long
 and lank, And the weeds grow thick on the wind
 ing bank; Where the shadow is heavy the whole
 day through; There lies at its moorings the old canoe. The useless paddles are idly dropped. Like a sea bird s wings that the storm
 has topped And crossed on the railings one o re one Like the folded hands when the work
 is done; While busily back and forth between, The spider stretches his silvery screen, And the solemn owl with the dull "too-
 whoo, Settles down on the side of the old ca
 noe. The stern. half sunk in the slimy wave, Rots slowly away in it's living grave; And the green moss creeps ore his dull
 decay, Hiding it's mouldering dust away Like the hand that plants ore tomb flower, Or the ivy that mantles the falling tower; While many blossom of lovliest hue, Springs up ore the stern of the old
 canoe. The currentless waters are dead and
 still, But the twilight wind plays with the
 boat at will, And lazily Tn and out again, It floats the length of it's rusty chain, Like the weary march of the hands of
 time, That meet and part at the monday
 chime, And the shore is kissed at each turning
 anew, By the dripping bow of the old canoe. On many time with ceaseless hand, have pushed it away from the pebbly
 strand, And padded it down where the stream
 runs quick, s~-. .-'-'.. Where the whirls are wide and the
 eddies are thick, And laughed ss leaned ore the rock
 ing side, And looked below in the broken tide, To see that the faces and boats were
 two, That were mirrored back from the old
 canoe But now as I lean=oyer the crumbiinq
 side. And lo.E 1eIow n the sluggish tide The face that see there fs grayef

 tone. And the hands taatleat tothe Ge6tskiF

 grass grew, Ore the mouldering stern of the old

high priced stocks Cumberland Ely

troll of Giroux to the Nevada Consol-
dated Cumberland Ely sisterhood,
emanating from New York and sent
az a trade tip by an eastern broker
