in Kansas afflicted with tuberculosis,
said DR.. T. B. Shoenleber of the Ag- |
ricultural college. and veterinarian for |
the live stock sanitary commission. |
The doctor is now organizing a cam
paign against the diseases of dairy |
herds. He has just cleaned up the |
herds at Linwocd. Out of 220 cows
inspected there he only found seven
afflicted. That is per cent, which
is very small, yet it means 100000
afflicted COWS in the state. He will
clean I'D the herds in Montgomery
county next week. DR.. Schoenleber is
trying to get all the cities of the state
to cooperate and conduct campaign
that will clean up the herds within
the next six months. TIE will devote
his campaign against herds which sup
ply raw milk to the people in towns.
After that is completed he will go af-
ter the herds that supply milk for the
creameries.

Commission Revoked the AprroVais.
At a meeting held in Topeka, the
state text book commission knocked
out" all of the approvals of certain
apparatus and books approved by the
old text book commission two years
ago. The purpose of the commission
in so doing is not apparent, inasmuch
as it turned around and reapproved
two-thirds of the books and appara-
tus which already had the approval
of the old commission. The only pos
sible reason was to get off it's hands
without a direct blow, a number of
undesirable books. The only appro-
walls made by the commission were
on maps, globes, charts and diction-
aries. Arithmetics, books on agricul-
ture, bookkeeping, commercial law,
physical geography, physiology, mu-
from the list. Three Woster arith-
metics were dropped. The diction-
aries of all grades, put out by the
American Book company, were ap-
proved by the commission. There is
primary dictionary, common
school, high school and an academ-
ic dictionary approved. The Button
Book company's Teachers and Pupils
Encyclopedia was approved The
other books approved by the commits
sion are as follows: MacCouns' His.
