IMPORTATION OF CATTLE
By DR.. David Roberts. WISCONSIN State
Veterinarian.

Each year immigration is becoming
more pronounced which is 10 doubt
due To the fact of eagerness TO attain
greater wealth and for this reason
il has been found necessary TO enforce
various laws in the various states III
against disease.
This same may be applied to the
importation of cattle, it having been
found necessary that in order to pro
tect the stock owner. that all cattle
before entering the state must be thor
oughly inspected and passed upon as
being free from any infectious or con
tagious disease.
While each and every disease i'll cat
tie has II tendency TO reduce the profit 5
of II herd, exceptional attention has
been paid in the eradication of tubcr-
culosis and for this reason most states
require. that before Il nonresident herd
can enter the state that it shall have
shows that every animal has been
tuberculin tested and is free from
same.
While cattle that have been import
ed may have been apparently free
from disease at the time of purchase,
owing to the delay OF arrival, and eN-
posal they are subjected to, it has
been deemed necessary To hold same
in quarantine for certain length OF
time, thereby definitely determining
rs to the exact condition of each in
dividual animal before its introduction
INTO the states. and while it has often
been found that they are free from
tuberculosis, the owner is many times
disappointed to find upon thorough eN-
animation that they are afflicted with
the germs OF contagious abortion
and for this reason each animal is
treated until all signs OF this disease
have disappeared before introducing
them into their new quarters, in this
way following out the theory that
one ounce of prevention is worth Il
pound of cure.

Story of Trip to the West

relics out of an old railroad camp as
the only habitation in sight was a
little old log cabin. The young men
organized baseball team and played
ball and used old oyster cans for balls.
A jolly fat man tried to organize II
Salvation Army, using an old wash
boiler for bass drum. After dark
the boys built big bonfire and sang
songs till bed time, many of which
were applauded and appreciated much
more than many Il song ! have heard
on the stage. This delay brought
us into Spokane just twelve hours
behind time but every one seemed
good natured just the same.
We spent one day in Spokane and
called on number of our old Mime
m. train out on the Washington Cen
trail to Davenport, forty miles due
west of Spokane. And l would like
to say right here that if any of my
Minnesota friends contemplate look
ing eastern Washington over don't
fall to go out as Tar as Davenport
on the Washington Central: Take my
word for it, you will not see, out of
Spokane in any direction, more prom
Using country than around Davenport
in Lincoln county. In my forty mile
ride from Spokane to Davenport and
my nine mile drive north from Daven-
port, | saw finer broad waving fields
of grain. greener meadows and past
ures and Il more beautiful profusion
of wild flowers than | saw all the
way from st. Paul to Spokane. a
distance of seventeen hundred miles.
Yours truly. W. H. Tidland.

Mapleton Man Wants Session of the
Buttermakers.

Maplcton Enterprise: /. j. Pomcroy,
the wideawakc buttermakcr of the local
creamery, is planning to hold cream
cry picnic at this place at some date
the latter part of May. His idea is to
interest the farmers and have them
present in large numbers 50 that they
may hear the creamery question dis
cusscd by prominent dairy and creamery
men. Much depends upon the way milk
and cream are handled, nothing is more
sensitive. and i'll order to secure the
very best results il has to be handled
pretty near right. Mr.. Pomeroy be-
licvcs quality counts for considerable
and it certainly has proved true since
he has taken charge OF the creamery
as the product is now selling at II
premium of several cents over the mar
ket Among the speakers whom 1T Is
hoped to secure are Andrew French, the
state dairy and food commissioner, and
W. L. Schilling. president of the State
Dairvmen's association. These men are
cminently qualified by practical expert
eucc to give the farmers information of
value. There is Il great deal to be
taken into consideration i'll the cream
cry industry and for that reason too
much knowledge cannot be obtained on
the subject. Tests vary, patrons be
come dissatisfied and commence to find
fault when il they had investigated
thoroughly they would be boosting their
home creamery every day ia the week.
This being true, the management of the
local creamery invite the patrons and
managers of other creaulerics 10 unite
in the gathering ut Mapetou. The OBJ
iect is to build up not any particular
creamery but tie creamery industry rs
= whole and if the speakers can help
tie farmers TO make this source of the
farm more profitable il will result in
GOOD to the whole community

so cold that many of the section men,

The adoption of the new charter
puts Mankato i'll the limelight in Min
nesota, and the city will gain 4 great
deal of advertising. The entire state
will watch the result of the new sys
tenn in Mankato, and if it proves sue
cessful it will no doubt be adopted i'll
the other cities of the state. Several
other cities have taken the matter
up, and at ST. Cloud charter is be
ing prepared.
I'm order that the new charter may
be given a fair chance to demonstrate
its benefits, it is necessary that the
people select the best possible nIcn TO

ing the Offices satisfactorily and in
whom the people have confidence. 1t
is time that this be given thought.
Former City Attorney C.. o. Daley
is deserving of great deal of credit
for the success of the charter. He
was the attorney in the employ OF
the commission that drafted the char
ter. He devoted great deal of time
to looking up the law and consulting
with attorneys conversant with the
commission plan. Mr.. Daley drafted
the bill that was afterward enacted
into a law by the legislature. Mr..
Daley was one of the men most ac

Frank H. Plat on Stand in
Government Suit Against
Coal Roads.

Philadelphia. Feb. 22.-That the Lehigh
Valley railroad IS in conspiracy to stife
competition or TO injure the public by
raising coal prices was denied today IN
the United States circuit court by
Frank II. Platt of New York. one #
the cOmpany's attorneys. He declared
that whatever combination Of antllra-
cite cOal-carrying railroads existed is
simply cooperation TO aid tTanspOTta-
ton and to benefit the public.
Mr.. Platt defended the ownership of
coal lands by railroads, and said the
condition was inevitable. Coal lands
brought many of the railroads into their
territory, ne asserted, and much of the
property naturally drifted into the pos
session Of the roads.
Platts argument was in answer to a
strong arraignment of the So-called coal
/ trust by James &. AIcReynOlds. special
attorney for the government.
/ He declared that six railroads had
cOnSpired in a tWO-fOld way to suppress
/ competition in the anthracite region
Through the Temple Iron company they
controlled much Of the output of coal
and, by tying up independent operators
/ by the sixty per cent contract" they
/ took away the last hope of reasonable
prices.
