TUBERCULOSIS RAcllll.

Circular No. 127, issued by the de-
partment Of animal husbandry at
Washington, contains an interesting
summary of series of experiments
which have been carried on with a
view to ascertaining how long tuber-
culosis germs will keep their vitality
in dairy butter made and kept under
average conditions The butter used
in the test was made from the milk
of a tuberculosis infected animal, diff
ferent portions Of the product being
kept for different lengths of, time and
then used as d means for inoculating
fifty guinea pigs. All of these died
within a given period of time, the test
showing that some of the animals died
from incubation with butter that had
been kept under ordinary conditions
four and a half months, which proved
conclusiyely that the tuberculosis bac-
ILL kept their vitality during that
length of time. This experiment as it
becomes known will simply add to the
diligence which city boards of health
are already exercising in the matter OF
examining carefully into the sources OF
supply of milk. cream and butter fur
nished their constituents.

Wise Guidance Needed.

This is broad country. and the
grange covers it well from Maine to
California, with here and there a
missing state above the old Mason
and Dixon's line Below 1t there are
several 1t demands great wisdom to
legislate or suggest legislation for
these many states, particularly where
conditions vary as they do between
California and Oregon and the extreme
east. The labor question is one that
requires different treatment here and
there. The Initiative and referendum
SO popular in some states Is passively
favored in others and earnestly OPP
posed in still others But the national
grange has handled these diverse ques-
lions with good judgment thus far,
and there is no reason to fear for the
future

TREATMENT FOR HOG CHOLERA.

A conference that bids fair TO be Of
more than ordinary value to the hog
raisers of the country was held at the
Iowa Agricultural college the latter
part of May. The department at Wash
ington was represented BY Secretary
James Wilson and two eminent ami
NAL disease specialists from the ami
NAL husbandry department. The con-
ference took place on farm which
has been used as hog cholera expert
ment station for several years. As the
result of years of experimental work
the department has developed meth
cd of treating hog cholera which Is
effective in saving a large per cent
of hogs in affected herds. The method
of treatment consists In inoculating
hogs with a serum taken from animals
which have died from the disease, much
in the same way that human beings
are rendered immune to smallpox by
vaccination. The work of the federal
department has been confirmed in ex-
periments conducted by the Minnesota
and Missouri stations. AS instances
of the effectiveness of this serum treat
ment it is stated that in number of
herds which were treated and after
ward exposed to cholera contagion
only per cent of the treated animals
died, while the loss among the I'M
treated herds was Ga per cent In
herds which bad been exposed to the
disease, but were not sick at the time
of treatment. AZ per cent of the treat
ed and SO per cent of the untreated
animals died In other herds in which
the disease had already broken out be-
fore treatment began the loss among
treated hogs was 1875 per cent and
among untreated hogs "A per cent The
chief point which was considered by
this conference on hog cholera was the
most feasible plan for supplying the
serum used il the treatment to the hog
raisers Of the country, Secretary VIII
sons idea being that this can be most
effectively done by the several state
experiment stations Representatives
from different states were present at
the conference and We're given oppor-
tunity to witness IN actual operation
the method OF producing the serum
and applying the treatment If the
conference shall be as productive of
results as is hoped a long step will
have been taken toward relieving the
farmers from source of loss that at
times has been enormous.

THE JUVENILE GRANGE.
Some Reasons Why There Should Be
an Organization Of Young People.
Especial Correspondence.I

an Organization Of Young People.
Especial Correspondence
There is no department Of grange
work at the present time SO important
for both present and future as that of
bringing in and training the young for
the work of the Order.
This is an age of specialties, and
among other wise and useful special
ties child culture is receiving its share.
Why, then, should not the child of the
grange receive proper training and the
granger of the future come upon the
scene of action fully equipped and
trained for the work he has to do?
The grange Is an educator of won
drous power and worth, and its train
ing is entirely along different lines from
those followed BY the schools. There
is fitting for public life gained there
in not to be found elsewhere. Many
who have grown to manhood or wo-
manhood tinid and diffident have.
with few years Of grange experience,
clearly and in an interesting manner
on almost all subjects. Had their
training begun In early youth, what
results might not have been reached.
The strongest argument in favor of
the juvenile grange is that it takes the
child at an age before other interests
have crowded in and left no room for
it. Many children who have grown up.
in among us and who have at an early
age expressed a longing to become old
enough to join the Order have by the
time that age IS reached lost interest.
and their fresh young minds are lost
TO US. Since the organization of the
juvenile grange many young children
Of worthy parents have come TO us.
and without a single exception every
child has joined the grange at the ear
lest opportunity after the age of four
teen is reached. And without one ex-
ception these children are well trained
on parliamentary rules, are more than
usually thoughtful and are ready to
express themselves on subjects which
are up for discussion. Their help il
the lecturers hour is of wonderful
value The lecturers hour is of equal
value to them. giving them. as it does,
the benefit of expressing themselves
IN public and training them for fu-
ture of usefulness

HOGS AND TUBERCULOSIS.

The likelihood of infection with tu-
berculosis in the case of hogs following
cattle known to be infected with the
disease has been very effectively dem
onstrated in recent experiments which
have been conducted at the Iowa ex-
pertinent station. A bunch of twenty
six hogs were placed in feed lot to
follow cattle which were known to be
infected with tuberculosis and like
number put after cattle which were
not affected with the disease At the
close Of given period all the hogs in
both lots were killed. In the frst
bunch twenty-one were found badly
infected with tuberculosis, while In
the second case. where they followed
healthy cattle, not one showed any
signs Of the disease With from 20 to
50 per cent Of the dairy cows OF the
country having tuberculosis and with
hogs following the great majority Of
these diseased animals, the alarming
spread Of tuberculosis among the
swine OF the country Il not difacult to

THE COUNTY FAIRS.
Cooperation Of the Grange and Asri
cultural Societies Desirabls.


The county agricultural societies are
beginning to see the benefit of having
the grange cooperate with them in
their annual exhibitions. Several coun-
ty agricultural societies throughout the
state have been thus cooperating for
several years. but in other counties
they have not done so. Our attention
was recently called to an announce
ment made by the Columbia Agricul-
tural and Horticultural society of HEi-
SON. whose fair is to be held Sept. 15-11
and which offers for the best collective
exhibit of fruits. grains or vegetables
by any subordinate grange Of the coun-
ty of Columbia a first prize of SIS and
a second prize of $40. also $40 viii be
paid to each grange making a cred
table exhibit if it does not win the
first or second premium. No entrance
fee is charged 10 exhibitors in this
class. The following scale of points is
to govern:

TARIFF ON PAPER DISCUSSED
Agents of Newspapers, Labor Unions
and Paper Heard by
Committee.

WASHINGTON. Nov. "A severe ar
raignment Of the soca,led paper trust was
the feature OF Saturdays tariff hearing be-
fore the house committee on ways and
means, which was in session until nearly
midnight.
After hearing arguments. mainly for a
protective tariff. which occupied their at
tention until after 5 o'clock. the committee
listened to the testimony of John Norris,
representing the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association.
Mr.. Norris argued for free trade in pulp
and print paper. giving many figures to
show that the protection afforded the paper
manufacturer by the present tariff re-
suited in unreasonable prices. Representa-
tlves Of the Typographical. Photo-En-
that the increased cost Of paper reduced the
gravers, Pressmens. and stereotypers and
Electrotypers' unions supported Mr.. Norris
contention with the additional argument
size Of the newspapers and gave less work
and lower wages.
The paper manufacturers occupied the
rest OF the time and we're sharply ques-
toned by democratic member OF the COM
mittee. Arthur ]. Hastings of New York,
president Of the American Paper and Pulp
association, admitted that dividends as high
as "A per rent had been paid by the Cliff
Paper company of Niagara, of which he
is the head. in addition to which the com
pany had earned in twenty years s4OO,O 900 on
a capital OF 800, 0OO.
Chester w. Lyman, assistant to the presi-
dent of the International Paper company,
the socalled paper trust" read a state
ment giving detailed Information regarding
the company.
1--WE are opposed to any reduction what
ever in the duties specified for pulp said
Mr.. Lyman. I'VE are most emphatically
opposed to any reduction in the duty on
print paper. insofar as it applies to news
papers. So far as this company, therefore,
is concerned, 1t is content to leave the
tariff as it is, with the exception of the
countervaillng clause and a possible addi-
ton to the administrative act of the tariff
law which will prevent foreign manufac-
turers from selling their output in this
country at lower prices than prevail in
their home markets."

FIR. WILLIAMS STAYS IN OMAHA
Rector Of st. Philip 1.-THE Deacon
Rejects ORer of Church In
ROAtOn.

Rev. John Albert Williams, rector of the
colored Episcopal church. st. Philip the
Deacon. in Omaha, has been offered the
pastorate OF a large Boston church. but
has refused It, believing his work lies in
the west. Father Williams is now in
Boston conducting a mission, but he writes
home that he has no thought of accepting
the proffered pastorate of the eastern con-
gregation. He is expected home the latter
part of this week. The mission which he
has been conducting in Boston was the
first Episcopal conclave of the kind ever
held among the colored people Of that city.
OF the Omaha clergyman and his work
and the offer of the eastern church the
Boston Globe says:
Father Williams is rated as one of the
best educated, logL&1 lad eloquent of
colored priests in the American Episcopal
church. He was born in London. Canada,
forty-two years ago. He was graduated
from the Seabury divinity school at Fari-
priesthood at Omaha For a number of
years he was stationed at Detroit, and, so
successful was he ID, his work there that
he was sent to Omaha to the church of
ST. Philip the Deacon. He is now assistant
secretary of the diocese of Nebraska.
Father Charles N. Field, superior of the
Society of st. John the Evangelist, which
has charge of the Church of IS. Augustine
anG Martin, heard quite a while ago about
the work Of the young priest and sought
at the earliest moment to have him come
to Boston to preside over the new church.
The way fortunately opened for his coming
as a missioner at the dedication of the new
church, and while Father Williams has not
consented to take charge of the church
at the conclusion OF his mission work
Father Field is strongly in hopes that he
