interest in tuberculosis in this state,
the state fair board has decided to
give an extensive tuberculosis exhibit,
together with demonstration with
cattle before aud after death, as one
of the features of the fair in Septem-

marian D. B Clark will be in charge
of the slaughter of the stock and
farmers will be given every opportun-
ity to receive instruction in handling
the disease. There will be present

James J. Hill, the great railroad
magnate and perhaps one of the best
informed men In the world on gener-
al conditions, says we have passed the
days for cheap grain and that low
prices thereon will never come again.
There is much reason to believe that
this is true, because of the changed
conditions. 1t used to be said that
with the enormous crops produced
upon the rich lands Of the West, the
United States could feed the world,
but the demand for home consump-
ton is becoming greater and greater,
aud the amount exported to foreign
countries growing gradually less, so
that at times it becomes almost q
question whether the supply will even
be equal to the home demand. 1t
may be said with equal truth that
high prices for butter and eggs have
come to stay. With legislation in
practically all of the states forbidding
the sale of oleomargarins colored in
imitation of butter, the prices of
butter have advanced to a point much
higher than ever before, and the old
time prices Of eight to twelve cents
during the summer seeson arc only a
memory. the American farmer is
enc of the most prosperous individuals
in the land today, if we except the
Lloated trust monopolist, and it looks
as though his days Of prosperity have
come to stay. There is more hope
for the future of the boy who remains
upon the farm than for he who goes

The oat and wheat crop out here is
in about as bad condition as a man
would be in the middle of a river and
could not swim. They are simply as
bad as could be stated.
Well, the farmers in our vicinity
are having a resting spell now, and
they gather at the shops and stores
and tell yarns about how big their
corn is and how much hay they can
pitch in a day, how high hogs are
going and about the flood in Kansas
City and other towns north. The
women enjoy visiting, eating big
potatoes, fried chickens and ice cream.
But the men can beat EN- telling
yarns. One farmer said his wife had
been losing chickens and ducks mys-
teriously, but finally solved the mys-
terry. Said he had a fine field of corn
growing next to the yard, and the
chickens went out in the corn in the
day to catch lightning bug that kept
up continued light out there, but
after catching all the bugs they found
it was dark as night, and they went
