While 1t IS the practice Of a ma ori-
ty Of mixers to sit on the right side
Of a COW while doing the job. the
tester for a German breeding associa-
ton has made some investigations in
regard to the matter which are at least
interesting. He has found that the
right half Of the udder produced S.73
pounds of milk while the left pro-
duced only 500 pounds. the milk from
the right half testing 3.65 per cent but
ter tat. while that from the left
showed but 3.31 per cent. The inves-
tigator attributes this difference al
most exclusively to the fact that, as
most mixers are right handed, the
right side Of the udder receives the
better manipulation, and the milk
glands are as result better devel-
oped than on the left side In way of
correcting this difficulty he recon-
mends getting the young COW accus-
toned to being MIXED on either side.

when milking morning and evening.
He contends that doing this would i'm

COW both in quantity and quality.

The loss to the cattle raising inter-
ests Of the country from tick fever is
placed at $4O.OOO,OOO. the malady be-
ing confined to few southern states
and being directly due to a little blood
sucking tick about an eighth OF an
inch long which in the process Of ex-
tracing the blood Of the animal at
tackled injects into its circulatory sys-
tenn Il virulent microbe which feeds
upon the red blood cells and destroys
them, thus producing the disease
known as tick fever. The federal au-
thorities are doing all in their power
to reduce the losses from the disease,
having found the fever can be eradi-
Gated IL the tick causing it can be de-
stroyed. and 1t is this phase Of the
campaign which is at present occupy

found most helpful along the line Of
securing radical changes of farm meth

DISTRIBUTION OF PEOPLE.

Jacob H. Schiff, the philanthropist-
talking the other night to an assem-
blage OF young Hebrews-advised them
to preach the distribution of their race
and to work against concentration par
ticuIarly in the congensted districts.
Here is good advice for the people Of
any race. Distribution to the points
where there is opportunity to build
for the future-where the chances are
for something more than hand-to-
mouth existence.
Some of the philanthropists Of the
Countrywide are so liberal in the en-
down1ent of schools. colleges and a
variety of other things eminently
worthy in themselves use some
of their money to distribute people
where they arc needed, taking them
from the congested spots, and giving
them the real opportunity every self
respecting man and woman wants

to the country and to humanity BY
helping to solve the economic problems
which beset both.

THE COAL RATE CASE.

In few days Attorney General Mill
Ter will go to Washington to appear
before the United States Supreme
court to argue the North Dakota max
imum coal rate.
The action was started by former
Attorney General McCue and the pre-
emit attorney general fell heir to it.
When the railroads appealed to the
United States Supreme court he went
to Washington and was successful in
getting the case advanced on the calen-
dar and the date for the hearing fixed
for this month. 1t is possible that a
ruling win be secured within a few
week.
The railroads entirely ignored the or
ders of state officials to observe this
law. When the action was commenced by
Attorney General McCue they fought
it through the courts but the state wor
signal victory. Not only did the
state Supreme court declare the law
constitutional but the court issued
an order that It must become effectiv,
at once.
The railroads ct once took the matter
before the u. 8. Supreme court, ant
secured a stay in the state court!
order that the rates were immediatel!
effective In this manner the railroad
have gained another winters hauling
at the old rate.
The entire state of North Dakota g.
greatly interested IN the action-es
pecially the residents of the easter
half, where the people have to pay 70
the long haul.
Fargoans see visions Of nnanufac
turing enterprises with a REASONABLE
coal rate. They have unlimited con
fidence in the value of Ignite coal.
Under the new rate 1t would be pos
sible to lay down Ignite coal in Farg
around 81 per ton.
