Delay Has Involved Heavy Cost.

The cattle men of the state of New
York are now taking encouraging inter-
est in the movement for the stamping
out of tuberculosis. Recently represen-
tatives of the State Cattle Breeders
Association. the Buffajo Livestock Asso-
citation, and the State Department Of
Agriculture, in company with Speaker
Wadsworth of the Assembly, conferred
with the Governor in regard to legisla-
ton proposed for the protection of milk
and meat consumers in New York
against cattle afflicted with tuberculosis
The governor had discussed the need of
legislation in his message, and the cat
tie interests had been thus brought to a
realization of the situation.
The seriousness of conditions on the
stock and dairy farms of New York
may be inferred from the estimate oc
the representative cattle men that 3d.
100000 would be required to stamp out
bovine tuberculosis in the state. This
estimate is based upon a report that at
least 20 per cent. OF the 100000 cows
in the state are believed to have the
seeds of the disease in their systems. The
cattlemen declare that ii will be neces-
sary to inspect all the cattle in the state
and promptly slaughter animals that are
found TO be diseased. This course would
involve heavy loss by the owners of beef
and dairy herds, and they suggest that
the state reimburse the losers to the ex-
tent Oh % per cent or the value OF all
cattle that may be thus slaughtered for
the public good. This suggestion is the
hinge upon which discussion will turn in
the Legislature. Milk and meat consum-
ers generally are in favor of effort for
the extirpation of bovine tuberculosis,
but there is naturally a difference of
opinion as to who should suffer the loss
when, sick animals are condemned and
slaughtered.
The situation in New York so far as
bovine tuberculosis is concerned should
interest the people of every state in the
Union. The legislature of the state has
not given the matter the attention it has
deserved, while other states have been
taking steps TO stamp out the disease.
This inaction is said to have made New
York the dumping ground for cattle
afflicted with tuberculosis in an incipient
stage. If this has been the case the
work of stamping out the disease will be
Tar more expensive than similar effort
would have been had the legislature
promptly put New York in line with
other states in the struggle against the
disease. New York's experience shows
the necessity OF institnting preventive
measures in selfprotection without de-

A CURE FOR THE BLUES.

The sky is gray and eerie.
The earth is gray and still,

And I'm lonely, lonely. lonely.

Or did something white slip by;

If the fairies are astir.
Here's another on my mitten.
And another on my bag:
Now my forehead's gently smitten
By touch as light as tag
one has melted In my dimple,
Two are tangled in my hair
Why, the reasons very simple
They are tnronging everywhere.
They are dancing, drifting, swinging,
They are diving from the sky,
Here million downward winging
Here million romping by.
