Cattle Escape tuberculosis TaInt.

Topeka.-Only a small percentage OF
the dairy cattle OF Kansas are infected
with tuberculosis. j. r. Mercer state
Live stock sanitary commissioner, has
received reports from the state veter-
inarians showing that the department
has examined almost $500 head of
dairy COWS since March ! and that
only 10 per cent of these were found
to be infected with the disease.
Under the law passed in 1909, when
ever dairyman wants his cows test
ed all that is required is for him to no.
tify the live stock sanitary commits
sioner and the tests will be made with
out expense to the owner. The state
pays all the bills. The cost is about 60
cents for each COW. If any COWS are
found to have the disease they can
not be used for dairy purposes any
more and they cannot be sold for beef.
At one state institution 60 per cent of
the cows were found infected and
practically an entire new herd was
purchased at once. At one private in
stitution that owns a large herd of
dairy cows, rs per cent were found in
fected with the disease and new herd
purchased. This was a considerable
loss. 1t has been found that most of
the tubercular COWS are found near
the large cities where the dalrymen
keep their COWS in barns most of the
time. Where the cattle are allowed to
run in pastures and where they have
protection in bad weather. and are not
kept in barns all the time, there is
very little tuberculosis.

INDEPENDENCE
ON THE FARM
SPLENDID RESULTS FOLLOW
FARMING IN THE CANADIAN
WEST.
Americans In Canada Not Asked to
Forget That They Were Born
Americans.

Farm produce today is rImunera-
tive, and this helps to make farm life
agreeable. Those who are studying
the economics of the day tell us that
the strength of the nation lies In the
cultivation of the soil. Farming is no
longer a hand-to-mouth existence. 1t
means independence. often affiuence,
but certainly independence.
Calling at farm house. near one of
the numerous thriving towns of AL
berta, in Western Canada, the writer
was given a definition of ''indepen-
dence" that was accepted as quite
original. The broad acres Of the farm
er's land had crop-and a splendid
one, too, by the way-ripening for the
reapers work. The evenness of the
crop, covering field after field, attract
ed attention, as did also the neatness
of the surroundings, the well-built sub
stantial story-and-a-half log house, and
the well-rounded sides of the cattle.
His broken English-he was a French
Canadian-was easily understandable
and pleasant to listen to. He had
come there from Montreal a year ago,
had paid $40 an acre for the 320-acre
farm, with the little improvement it
had He had never farmed before, yet
his crop was excellent, giving evil
dence as to the quality of the soil, and
the good judgment that had been used
in its preparation. And brains count
In farming as well as Draw" Asked
how he liked 1t there, he Strengthened
his broad shoulders, and with hand
outstretched towards the waving fields
of grain, this young French Canadian,
model of symmetrical build, replied:
BE gosh, yes, we like him-the
farmin'-well, don't we, Jeannette?"
as he smilingly turned to the young
wife standing near She had accom-
panied him from Montreal to his far
west home, to assist him by her wifely
help and companionship, in making
new home in this new land. Eyes, we
come here wan year ago. and We never
farm before. Near Montreal. me

Found Dead With Gun Near.

Independence Stephen Buster, a

at lonely SPOT on Rock Creek, one
half mile south of Independence, with
a shotgun by his side, dead from a
gun wound inflicted in the breast. Evi.
IDENTITY he committed suicide for he had
been in deep trouble all day and is
said to have told a companion this
morning that he would end his trou'
bles and showed him bottle of car
bolic acid saying he intended to take
it. The friend thought he was joking

and then he waved his hand again
towards the fields, II ave no bodder,
no cardin' mill, no girls mill. no cheese
factor. 1 am now de farmer man an
when me want to, me can say to de
oder fellow! you go! Well, we
like him-the farmin'." And that was
good definition Of independence.
Throughout a trip Of several hun
dred miles in the agricultural district
of Western Canada, the writer found
the farmers In excellent spirits, an
optimistic feeling being prevalent
everywhere. 1t will be interesting to
the thousands on the American side
of the line to know that their rela-
tives and friends are doing we'll there,
that they have made their home In a
country that stands up so splendidly
under what has been trying conditions
In most of the northwestern part Of
the farming districts Of the continent.
With the exception Of some portions
of Southern Alberta, and also a por-
ton of Manitoba and Southern Sas-
katchewan the grain crops could be
described as fair, good and excellent.
The same drought that affected North
and South Dakota, Montana, Mime
sofa, Wisconsin and other of the
northern central states extended over
into a portion Of Canada Just men
toned. But In these portions the
crops for the past four or five years
were splendid and the yields good.
The great province Of Saskatchewan
has suffered less from drought In pro-
portion to her area under cultivation
than either Of the other provinces. On
the other hand, instead Of the drought
being confined very largely to the
south Of the main line Of the @. p. r.
Il is to be found In patches right
through the center Of northern Sas-
katchewan also. In spite Of this, how
eyer, Saskatchewan has a splendid
crop. A careful checking Of the aver

different districts. gives an average
Yield Of 1914 bushels to the acre.

Plenty of Teachers for Kansas.

e. T. Fairchild, state superintendent
of public instruction, has been making
some inquiries of county superintend-

dication of a shortage of school teach
ers this year.
Every year we have had shortage
of teachers in some counties and a
surplus in Others" said Mr.. Fairchild.
This year there is surplus in many
counties but it appears that these ex-
ira teachers have been able to get
Jobs in other counties. The normal
training work in the high schools
furnished about 600 young people who
are eligible to teach anywhere in
Kansas and many of these have found
good places in different sections Of the
state. I have written to many county
superintendent recently about the
supply of teachers and all reports that
they have a sufficient number"

16, was drowned in the Missouri river
here, when he fell off the Atchison
bridge. He was seated on the guard
rail Of the bridge, and it is believed
tainted before he fell. A peculiar
feature of the tragedy was the effort
of an itinerant boilermaker and former
sailor to rescue the drowning youth.
This man leaped from the bridge into
the water so feet below, but could not
find trace of the body. 1t was dark

New York City-The cloak makers
strike, one of the greatest labor dis
turbances in the history of American
labor, was settled tonight. Seventy
thousand garment workers who have
been idle for nine weeks will shortly
return to work.
julius Henry Cohen, counsel for the

mo principle has been surrendered
by the manufacturers, yet the union
may truly claim they have won great
victory for the people. The manu-
facturers believe in the union and the
principles that all who desire its bene'
fits should share its burdens"
One essential of this victory and the
one important not only to the strikers,
but to the nation at large, which wears
their output, is the abolition of all con-
tract work at home. Hereafter gar
ments made in New York will be man.
