Thousands Join in Protest to
Stay Governments Hand.
Proposed Disposal Of Bird Plumes
Seized by Customs Officials to the
Milliners Resented in Nearly
Every State.

New Shocked by the thought
of Uncle Sam selling the nuptial
plumes of many mother birds, butch
cred in the midst of their young,
which were left to starve, thousands
" Americans have Joined a movement
of protest against such a disposal OF
the egrets seized by the custom
house in this city. which the govern
ment has just ordered to be sold here.
From almost every state in the
union scores of communications have
been received by the National Asso-
citation of Audubon Societies offering
support and urging action TO prevent
the nation from engaging in this bust
ness which the milliners are insist
ing upon. BY its lax legislation and
law enforcement against the bird
butchers the Empire state is alone re-
sponsible in this instance for thus
making the government traffic in
these spoils, 1t is declared.
While these costly heron plumes
are held here at the custom house to
be auctioned Off. hundreds of wives
ana mothers in this city and through
out the country are organizing a pro
test. Backing the Audubon workers
in this movement the National Fed
Grafton of Womens Clubs already Is
arrayed. as well as many sportsmens

RAPID STRIDES OF
TUBERCULOSIS
Great Need OF Immediate Testing
by Farmers Strongly Urged
TO Check Disease.

BY killing four healthy looking cows
which had reached to the tuberculin
test and by killing pig that had
been fed upon the quart of milk from
a tuberculous COW. Dean II. l.. Rus
sell al Madison, Wis, demonstrated
to 1000 farmers at the farmers course
the ravages of the disease in animals
in which its presence ordinarily would
be unsuspected. The tuberculin test,
Dean Russell declared, was the only
reliable method of determining the
presence of the disease, since the ap-
pearance of the animal and physical
examinations have been demonstrated
to be untrustworthy. The great need
for immediate testing by farmers
themselves or by qualified tests was
strongly urged
The loss consequent upon Disregard
ing the value of the tuberculin test
was illustrated by the experience OF
the farmer in whose herd of 40 cows
70 reacted TO the tuberculin test
made by a shortcourse student. As
a result of neglecting to take the
precautionary steps to eliminate the

Recently the finances of the village
fell to such low ebb that 1t was i'm
possible to longer employ a street

be invested in a flock of ducks which
would forage in the streets and eat
the rubbish.
Lean ducks were brought and
turned loose in the streets. They
started in to eat the waste from the
streets at one end OF town early in
the morning and eat to the other
end, when they are turned backward
or shifted to another street.
