Board Of Health sells Anti.tox,n:


The state board of health has sent
out it's first consignment of anti-toxin
for the treatment Of diptheria since
the board members obligated them
selves to furnish it to the public at
cost. 1t was sent to DR.. A. P. Hanch-
cite at Council Bluffs, member of
the state board. The cost is about
one.third the retail cost.

secure the passage of a law at the
next legislature which will empower
the board to furnish and distribute
anti-toxin free of charge. The action
of the members in furnishing it to
the public at cost was the first step
in this direction.

Invention For WASHING Clothes.

tuVSuStOu TUT VvASuII9 StOItl09s
At recent expositions in Melbourne
and Sydney Vice Consul General Hen
~ D. Baker found that much atten-
ton was attracted to an ingenious
Australian invention of a machine for
washing clothes by means of suction
caused by a vacuum. which he de-
scribes:
The device in appearance resembles
a metal cone or inverted perforated
funnel. 1t may be placed in a copper
boiler or even in an ordinary kerosene
tin. When the water hollis. steam is
generated inside the cone, this forcing
the water in a spray out of the top of
the funnel. thus forming a vacuum in
side the cone. To refill this vacuum
the water is sucked through the
clothes continuously. and this percola
ton goes on at the rate of four gal
Ions a minute. the dirt being removed
by force and rapid circulation. The
machine appears to remove all kinds
of dirt and ~discoloration. and to leave
the articles washed snow white" in
appearance. while it also saves the
rough handling incident t o usual
borious rubbing and scrubbing, and so
tends to eliminate wear and tear. and
serious damage to delicate fabrics. lin
ems, laces. etc.

MAKING HERD BULLS
EARN Their keep.

From the Jean Duluth farm in north
ern Minnesota come photographs H.
Illustrating to what good ISL they are
putting Red Poll and Guernsey bulls.
writes Joseph T.. Wing in the Breeders
Gazette. 1t is evident that these bulls
are much more than earning their
keep. They are %splendidly doing very
useful work. Doubtless by means of
this hard work they are maintaining
their v%irility and potency as we'll. They
are good and useful members Of socie-
ty on the Jean Duluth farm.
This is as it should be. A Gagged
bull is subjected to the worst possible
conditions. His lack of movement, Of
stretch of muscle. is bad for his viril-
fly. Imprisonment sours his temper or
makes him stupid. He cannot live a
natural life In such environment. Bulls
are masses Of huge muscles. 1t is good
for them to have use. Nor are they in
tractable. rightly broken. nor difficult
to manage.
There are certain classes Of work
where cattle come well in play. They
are admirable to draw the hay wagons
from meadow to barn. George Aitkin
has always splendid great oxen doing
this trick in Vermont. They also plow.
haul manure. haul of stone and upturn
stumps. There IL an amazing lot of
slow, rcsistlcss power in a good team
of either OXen or bulls. In old Mexi-
co l have seen very splendid oxen.

or merchandise or forage. In France
one sees the best oxen nowadays.

breed, to work them on the farm for q
