HEAT UNBALANCES HER MIND
After Years of Brooding, Woman
Throws Self Under Train.

Erie. Kan, Aug. Searching
with lanterns for Mrs. Sadie Ander-
son. wealthy widow. who had left
her home in stocking feet an hour be-
fore, the party found her mangled and
almost unrecognizable body on the
floor of the M. K. & T. station. She
had thrown herself in front of a
freight train half mile north of the
Santa Fe crossing and had been
ground to pieces beneath the engine
The train had brought in what re-
manned Of the body.
The long stretch of unbroken heat
had thrown the balance of her mind
after years of brooding over the death
of her husband, who was found shot
dead on their farm as the result of his
own act, she has believed. About mid
night she wrote note of farewell to
her family, slipped off her shoes and
in her stocking feet started away and
up the railroad track in the direction
of the scene of his death. Walking
along the NJ, K & T. tracks, she had
met the freight train. She stepped
aside as if to let 1t pass, but as the
engine reached her she threw herself
in front of it, was caught under the
wheels and ground to pieces.

why Farming Requires system.

Calculating on the basis of the orig
inal value of his land, the farmer is
making money. Calculated on the
current market price at which he
could withdraw his investment and
put it in interest bearing Industrial
securities, he is losing money every
time the seasons revolve. In many
sections of the country farm values
have doubled, even trebled, in the last
generation. Land that has been work
ed on the basis calculation of from SIS
to 500 an acre must in the future re-
spond to acreage values of from SIS
to 5000. The old generation, with its
obsolete methods, which has persisted
solely on the excuse of cheap land
or gift Iand-must give way before the
new generation. The newcomer, the
man who would establish himself as a
farmer today has to meet the changed
conditions, and it is to these conditions
that the business of farming must re-
spond. The question of fixed capital
has come to stay. We are not yet out
of our first generation as farmers on
a grand scale. This first generation is
taking its hand from the pillow, and
those who follow the pioneers, either
through deed of sale or probate. must
hereafter reckon interest on invest
ment as an actual item of cost. Farm
ing as an industry is in it's transitional
stage. and it is to meet the new con-
ditions in a businesslike way that ex-
perts have been giving their attention
to the question of devising a system of
cost accounting for the farmer.-The

Kansas Expert Sees Method of Eradf-
eating Tuberculosis.

CNIhAS OSAOeAASoASs
Chicago. ILL.,, Aug. According to
State Agricultural college, animal tu-
berculosis can be easily and thorough
ly eradicated from the United States
practically without cost. DIR. Rogers
is in Chicago.
'Tag all hogs" is the first word of
advice from the western expert. eff
we do not know where the hogs come
from we certainly can do nothing to-
ward eradicating the evil" said DR..
Rogers. I'm 1908 over 100000 tuber-
culous hogs were found among the
35,OOO,OOO which were sent to the
packers This is due simply to the
association of hogs with cattle that
are afflicted with the disease"
DIR. Rogers lans to prove the feas-
ibility of his scheme by experiment.
ing in one county, either in Illinois or
Iowa. Each farmer throughout the
county will be asked to allow his hogs
and cattle to run together. He will
be assured that he can suffer no loss
whatever, as funds will be deposited to
buy all tuberculous cattle and hogs at
market prices. Then tags will be dis
tributed among the farmers and they
will be asked to tag all cattle which
they sell. When tuberculosis is found
in any animal the commission in
charge of the experiment will trace it
to its source. buy all the infected cat
tie, and thus eventually get rid of the
disease. If the experiment is success
full in one county it will then be Of
fered for use throughout the whole
country.
Dr. Rogers. who is connected with
the State College of Agriculture at
Manhattan, Kan, has been studying
the disease for the last ten years. He
has been a United States inspector of
cattle and hogs in both Omaha and
Chicago.
