SOUTHERN STEEL
REORCANISES
Plan OF Reorganization Became
Effective Last Week.
SOUTHERN STEEL LABORERS
J. {. Cheatham, Labor Agent,
Busy in Chattanooga.

NEW YORK, Feb. 10. The reor-
ganization of the Southern Steel Com
pany became operative today when the
committee announced that the 50, 900, e
900 required for this purpose had been
paid in. OF the amount called for a
liberal share is said to have been sub
scribed by prominent banking interests
of London and Paris. The various
properties owned by the company will
be sold by the trustees in bankruptcy
at Birmingham, Ala, some time in
March, and the work of Improvement
sand extension already planned will
then be carried out.
According to the terms of the reor-
ganization a new company will be Gre
ated, probably under the laws of New
Jersey. 1t is intended to vest in the
new company all the properties now
owned, not only by the Southern Steel
Company, but also those of the Georgia
Steel Company, LacyBuck Iron and
Coal Company and the Chattanooga
Iron & Coal Company. The directors
of the new company will be elected in
classes by the Reorganization Commit
tee.

PRACTICAL COOPERATION.

A number of farmers living near Rogers, in Hennepin county, Minn., have. according to a farm paper pub lished at the Twin Cities, put into practice this year a most commercial ble type of cooperation. It has con- sisted simply in getting their heads together and agreeing to plant a single variety of potatoes for their field crop. with the thought ill view that with q large quantity of potatoes raised buy CTS would come and offer a good price for the crop. They exercised d 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 one variety and of uni form size and quality. The buyers came and paid the growers 46 cents per bushel at the cars, nearly 10 cents more than growers ill many other sec lions received. This idea of co-opera- tiOn in vegetable and fruit production is very practical and profitable, and its benefits can hardly be too strongly urged.

THE FOLLY OF M?cR!-iNG.
 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 uncompromisingly in season and out of season advocated a thorough testing of affected herds and the erad icatiOn of all animals found diseased. One of these papers is HCard's Dairy man, printed at Fort Atkinson, Wis, and the service which it has perform cd for the dairy interests of that and adjoining states can hardly be eSti mated. Those papers which have fol lowed tempOriZirg policy-opposcd 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 long run, as laws which prevent the sale of milk from dis eased cows have been passed ill many states, while the job of ridding a herd of diseased animals and building it up again on new basis is one that re quires much time and attention. The rest of the agricultural papers should move over to the other side of the house in this vital matter.

THE ROUTINE PALLS-

Many a lad leaves the farm for city occupation because of the dull mo- notonous routine of it's work. in the doing of which little effort is made by the farm owner to adopt new or up 10 date methods which recognize the place of intelligence as well as sheer muscular effort as an important factor in getting work out of the way. There is absolutely no field of endeavor where the application of brains will yield larger net return than in agri- culture, and it's about time a whole lot of fellows who have been content to make a clOdhCppcr occupation of it wore rubbing their eyes and awaking 10 the fact. It can only be viewed as q tribute to agriculture as an occupa-
 ion that so many who have been en- gagged in it hayo been able to make g living and something besides, follow Ing as they have such slOyenly and Indifferent methods and applying so small an amount of gray matter to tA2 work they had in hand.

SOME TUBERCULOSIS STATISTICS

Probably no state in the Union has made more determined or more sue cessful warfare on bovine tuberculosis than Wisconsin, and some figures which have been lately published rela- tive to this campaign are interesting and should also be profitable to dairy men in other sections. The education al campaign has been conducted by means of addresses, printed bulletins ard postmortem demonstrations given in cooperation with the state live stock sanitary board. Since the tuber- culin test was first applied, in 1892. 12,G3S animals have been tested, over G6,OOO of this number coming within the past three years. The state has paid the owners two-thirdS of the ap- praised value of reacting animals, re- ceiving in return whatever was paid for the carcasses of those animals passed by the federal inspectors. There has been a decrease in the per cent of reacting animals from IT. per cent in 1906 to 5.G per cent in 1908. In 1906 almost half the herds which were test ed were found infected, while in 1908 less than one-fourth had the disease. In 1906 12 per cent of the animals tested were found to be infected, and in 1908 less than f per cent. The data which the station officials have gath cred shows that the most common method of herd infection is through the purchase of diseased animals, 2G3 out of 3G3 herds found infected in 1908 being infected through purchase. \ law requiring d clean bill of health with each animal sold is strongly urged, as is also legislation requiring the pasteurization of factory byprod nets

Dentists who keep abreast of the times incline to the view that in these days of prepared-premasticated ar( predigested- foods folks do not havr chewing enough to do to give their teeth the necessary exercise. it being their contention that foods of a rough CT and harder type should form a lar ger part of the bill of fare. Pressure on the teeth in the process of mastica- tion causes circulation of blood ill the little ducts near the roots. this making possible a ready nOurshmert of the nerve and dental tissues. This; argument would seem to have con- mon sense at the bottom of it and ought to be kept in mind. It is likely due to this very fact. the mastication of rough and coarse foods. that the remarkable durability rc tl' teeth Of wild and domostic animals is l';I
