"C EE them two old plugs oyei

~ Maverick hotel asked. pointing
across the street. The grocery
drummer, who had been caught over
Sunday in the little Kansas cowtown,
looked up and saw two grizzled, gray
old men sitting peacefully side by side
on a dry goods box In the shade of a
building.
"As mild and quiet as a pair of little
innocent lambs" the landlord added,

took up a paper and began to read.

The drummer made no reply, and a
long silence followed. At last, how
ever, the landlord emitted a soft
chuckle and, pointing across the street,
said:

A. number of farmers living near

have. according to IL farm paper pub
lished at the Twin Cities, put into
practice this year Il most commenda-
Bile type OF cooperation! 1t has con-
sisted simply in getting their heads
together and agreeing 10 plant a single
variety OF potatoes for, their field crop,
with the thought in view that with a
large quantity, of potatoes raised buy
ers would come and offer a good price
for the crop, They exercised Il good
deal of pains in the growing and care
of their spud crop. and their hopes
have been fully realized. The tubers
yielded on the average 175 bushels per
acre, were of oRe variety and of uni
form size ard quality The buyers
came and paid the growers 46 cents
per buShel at the ears nearly 10 cents
more than growers in many other sec
tions received. This idea of co-opera-
ton in vegetable and fruit production
is very practical and profitable. and it's
benefits can hardly be too strongly

A rather odd appeal has been made
to the French colonial office by the
province of U.anda. 1t is that the
lions be protected from hunters, as
they alone are able to rid the country
of the herbivorous animals that de-
stroy their crops including elephants,
rhinoceroses and deer. Much the same
situation has existed in some portions
of the west, where the killing of the
coyotes has been followed by an alarm

Pity it is that there are not more
farm papers of the type Of a few
which, might be named which have
looked the situation touching bovine
tuberculosis through to the end and
have unconipromisingly in season and
out of season advocated a thorough
testing of affected herds and the Grad
ication of Ill animals found diseased.
One of these papers is Hoard's Dairy
man, printed at Fort Atkinson, Wis,
and the service which it has perform
ed for the dairy interests of that and
adjoining states can hardly be esti-
mated. Those papers which have fol-
lowed Il temporizing policy-opposed
the testing of dairy herds because the
immediate loss to. the owners seemed
heavy-have caused dairymen who
have followed this advice tremendous
loss in the bong run, as laws which
prevent <the' sale of. milk from dis
eased cows haverb been passed in many
states, While the job of Kidding a herd
of diseased animals and. building it up
again on. q new basis is one that re-
quires much time and attention. The

Dentists who keep abreast of the
times incline to the view that in these
days of prepared-premasticated and

chewing enough to do to give their
teeth 'theN necessary exercise, it being
their contention that foods of rough

ger part of the bill of fare. Pressure
on the teeth in the process of mastica-
ton causes circulation of blood in
the little ducts near the roots, this
making possible ready nourishment
of the nerve and dental tissues This
argument would seem to have conf

Probably no state in the Union has
made more determined or. more sue

than Wisconsin, and some figures
which have been lately published re!a-

and should also be profitable TO DAIRY

has been decrease in the per cent

less than one-fourth had the disease
In 1906 II per cent of the animals
tested were found to be infected, and
in 1908 less than per cent. The data
which the station officials have gath

method of herd infection is through
the purchase of diseased animals, 263
out of 1853 herds found infected in
