DlSPOSING OF WOLVES.

f. II. Lyman Of lie Beau, writing
to the st. Paul Dispatch, gives the fol.
lowing interesting account of how the
government is helping the farmers and
stockmen of the western part of the
state to dispose of the wolves, which
prey upon young stock:
when we see the crafty coyote
lie like a stone for hours on a knoll
besides some prairie dog town, waiting
until he may at last dart in and
cut off the waddling prairie dog from
the safe retreat of his burrow, we are
amused. When, at rarer times, We are
permitted to catch a glimpse of him
i'll pursuit of the w~ing-footed jack raJ.
bit, we are eXcitedly interested. When
he kills u poultry or our lambs We
hate him; and when he, in turn, is
pursued, and we hear his cry of ter.
ror as the hounds close in ON him
our hatred changes momentarily to
pity.
But when the Montana experiment
station works itself into the confidence
of some two hundred individuals of the
species. Lupus Americani, and betray
them to the mites of sarcOpic mango,
afterwards turningg them loose to eff
feet with that pestilence their UNI
Suspecting fellows of the plains-why.
that is business, and no emotion of
any sort has any right in the premis-
es.
THE experiment was tried a few
years ago., and the results are now
becoming evident. Reports from Mon.
tana, and I'VE from Wyoming, al
though in the former state where any
infected animals turn loose, tell OF
large numbers of mango wolves and
oyotes found dead this winter. NANCY
specimens are frequently found alive,
but SO weak and emaciated that they
are enable to get out Of the way, and
are easily dispatched with a club.
ut is possible that a remedy has
thus been found for the most serious
menace to the live stock industry of
the range. The de%predations OF
wolves, not only against sheep, but
against calves and colts as we'll, have
excited the impotent rage of the stock
man from the days of the first set
tiers. The loss from wolves and coy
otes amounts to millions OF dollars
every year.
IF this automatic wolf destroyer
completes it's work as it now gives
promise of doing the department OF
agriculture "a be pardoned for point
ing with pride to it's achievement"

is being made by the committee in
charge to secure a good representa-
ton of the business men from the larg-
er cities and towns, in order to inter
est them in further Y. NJ. C. A. pro
jects. Athletes and their relation to
moral development will be one Of the
interesting features of the convention
discussions. Mr.. Parsons is quoted as
follows:
One of the most enthusiastic sup.
porters OF Y. NJ. G.. A. work in the
country is VIM. II. Taft. In this re
spect he shares the enthusiasm OF
President Roosevelt and his late op
ponent William J. Bryan. both of whom
are identified closely with the Y. NJ
G. A. movement.
In a recent address on the n~ecessi

A Christian association club, establish
ed in an adequate building, will keel
men from drinking, gambling and Other
vices by offering them an opportunity
to spend leisure hours in a whole
some atmosphere surrounded by the
best influences. The Y. M. c. A. ha.

"PARSIFAL."

During the engagement of "Parsi-
fall Tin English) at the Grand opera
house, February Is, the attention of
the theatre going public is called to
the unusual hour Of commencement.
When "Parsifal" was first produced
at the Metropolitan opera house, New
York, the performance was divided
into two parts. The first curtain ris-
ing at $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon
and allowing a two hour intermission
for dinner at the finale of the first
act, after which the performance was
resumed. For the trans-continental
tour of Messrs. Martin & Emery's Or
ganization this custom has been
abandoned. The curtain will rise at
I7:45 and the entire performance given
at one setting.

DON'T FORGET MOTHER.

Don't forget mother, my boy don't
forget mother, just because you have
other loves and many cares to fill your
attention. Can you not see she is
growing old? More tenderly and more
watchfully her eyes follow you and
her heart aches for a return Of the
fond caresses she has given her boy.
Her step is less elastic now. The
roses of her cheeks have faded, chilled
by the freezing breezeS of old age.
The s%nowdrifts of time lie tenderly
on her temple. The record of her
care for YOU of her troubles and %
are furrowed on her face. Some
day--it will not be long-you will walk
about the old home with hushed foot
steps. Into the dear old chamber you
steal TO bid goodbye to the dear old
face so strangely white and while you
bend over to catch her parting bless
ing. the angel of death will glide into
her heart and mother will fall asleep
Then it may, with a heart full of re
morse for your own neglect, YOU may
seek new friends, but none can ever
fill a mothers place.-Ex.

PASSING OF THE COWBOY.

a dispatch from Wahpala says: The
practical assurance from Washington
that the Standing Rock and Cheyenne
river reservation will be opened for
settlement means the passing forever
of the large ranch and the genuine
cowboy. The Montgomery Ward COW
boy" as he is facetiously called by the
genuine article will doubtlessly be with
us for a long time, for the young ar
rivals from the east love to don some
portion of the cowboy garb, regardless
of occupation.
The Matador Cattle company, the
Diamond A, the Turkey Track, the
Il. T., and the various other compan-
les still range thousands upon thou
sands of cattle on the surplus Indian
lands which are to be thrown open
TO settlement. Their leases for the
most part have some years to run,
and they have received no notice from
the government to vacate, but repres-
entativeS from commercial bodies in
terested in the opening, whose repres-
entatives have visited Washington, are
assured that this will not prevent the
opening next fall. SO the ''old timer
resigns himself to the inevitable, and
views with regret the passing forever
of the thousands of cattle on the range,
the roundup wagon and the rancho.
Some of the big outfits will still
operate in Canada, where they have
ranches, as we'll as here, and in Texas
but the most of them will go out OF
business.
The last remnant of the only herd
OF wild buffalo in the United States
will be killed or sold out this winter
This is the last herd which has beer
running at large on the Cheyenne re
s~ervation, and Is owned by the Du
prees.. The animals have never beer
In a fence but have ruu on the range
which their predecessors occupied
The bulk Of this herd was sold some
years ago to Scotty Philip, and are
under fence near Fort Pierre. but /;
few Of the original herds are still a
large and run with the Dupree cat
tie.

TO PREVENT TUBERCULOSIS.

Statistics of the United States feder-
al meat inspection, covering o3,9'3,35'
animals. or more than one-half of all
those slaughtered for food in the coun-
Try. show the following percentages OF
tuberculosis: Adult cattle, 0.9ol;
calves, OOPS: hogs, 2.040; sheep and
goats. o. The proportion of tuberculosis
is probably higher in animals slaugn-
tered without inspection.
Reports of tuberculin tests made i'll
the fifteen years from 1893 to l90s by
federal. state and other officers with
tuberculin prepared by the bureau OF
animal industry have been carefully
analyzed and tabulated. Out OF 400
600 cattle tested (mostly dairy cattle),
there was 81 1000 reactions, or 9.25 per
cent
From these two classes of statistics
il Isl concluded that or the average
about 10 per cent of the mich cows,
per cent of other cattle and 2 per cen,
of the hogs in the United States are
affected with tuberculosis, the average
percentage of all the cattle being esti
mated at 3.5.
The accuracy of the tuberculis tes'
has been confirmed in a remarkable
way by post-mortem examinations
Out Of the 1886 reacting cattle
slaughtered LESSONS OF tuberculosis
were found in 1855, a percentage o
1881.
Properly prepared tuberculin applied
by a competent person is therefor
shown to be q wonderfully reliable
agent for diagnosing tuberculosis.
In cases where the test appears u
give unsatisfactory results this I
usually due to the use of a poor qua
ity of tuberculin or to ignorance o
~carclessness in applying ii.

The economic loss on account OF
tuberculosis in food producing nimal
is heavy. The loss on animals In
which tuberculosis is found in the fed
leral meat inspection is estimated at
50, 49,, 433 annually and il the same
conditions were applied to the animals
slaughtered without federal inspection
the annual loss on all animals slaught-
cred for food in the United States
would be increased TO $4,l02,433.
The stock of animals on hands is
also deprecated in value because OF
tuberculosis. Assuming that living
tuberculosis mich COWS are annually
,Gepreciated to the extent OF one-tentn
of what the loss would be if they We're
slaughtered, other cattle one-third, and
hogs one-half, the total annual de-
probation amounts to $S,046,219.
The annual loss from decrease in
milk production is estimated at ST.
10000 and there also is some loss
from impairment of breeding qualities,
etc.
Taking all of these items into &C
count the aggregate annual loss be-
cause of tuberculosis among farm ami
mails in the United States is estimated
at not less than $14, 900 600.
AS the disease is found principally
among cattle and hogs and as most OF
the infection in hogs is derived from
cattle. the main effort should be d.
rected against the disease III cattle.
Among the measures proposed are
the following: Live stock wners
should be educated by means Of Of
fetal publications, the agricultural and
general press, lectures at farmers in
s~titutes, etc.
Public authorities should make a
systematic effort to determine what
extent and in what localities the dis
ease exists and should apply the tuber-

Reacting animals should be slaught-
cred under competent veterinary in
spection, so that he loss may be min
imized by passing ~carcasses for food
where the infection is so slight that
this can be safely oone; dangerous
~carcasses, of course, to be condemned.
In the case of valuable breeding ami
mails where slaughter would involve
great sacrifice, the Bang system of
segregation may be used.
A system of tagging all COWS sent
to market is advocated, so that when
animals are found t~uberculous in the

back to the place Of origin, centers of
infection located and steps taken for

The unfortunate death OF a little
girl in Wakonda, who was accidental
ly shot by her brother with a small
rife, is a sad warning to parents who
are tempted to buy guns for their
boys. Firearms are things that cause
many deaths even in the hands OF old
er persons and the parent who buys
a gun for his child Is deliberately in
viting suffering and death.-Hurley
