Arrangements to Consult Many
Experts of Country as to

Washington.-The farmers of the
interested in the census of agricul-
ture and farms that will be taken
April Is, 1910. as one of the subjects
to be covered by the thirteenth de-
cennial census Many are showing
their interest by writing to the census
bureau for the purpose of making
comments on census information re-
garding agriculture as presented In
The past
The director of the census well
comes all such suggestions. and gives
them careful consideration, as he Is
anxious to have the results of the
coming census correspond as nearly
as may be to the desires of the people
most interested.
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has on
his own initiative requested certain
professors of economics and agricul-
ture of the more important universe
ties of the country, and other persons
who have specialized in agricultural
Matters. 10 come 10 w dSElllSlOil lOl d

Especially is 1t desired to obtain
their opinion relative to the questions
to be asked, and their form, as the re-
suits to be obtained will so largely
| depend on the character of the sched-
ule and the manner in which the ques-
lions are propounded.
/ These suggestions, coming from out
side experts, are proving to be of
great value, and it is believed that in
consequence of this preliminary study
more valuable and accurate data will
be obtained than could otherwise be
secured
After these special students and ex-

studies, formal conferences are held

The genital organs of the COW should
be syringed out with this solution
every three or four days as long as
there is any discharge. Cows that
have aborted should be kept well
away from the rest of the herd. They
should not be bred for at least tep

HNNE of the most common dis,
IA ~ eases among horses is collie.
Va W This may be caused by moldy
food. n sudden change of food
or anything else that affects the di-
gestive system unfavorably. Refusing
to eat. paving. grooming, looking
around ut faux, lying down and get
ting up again are some of the common
symptoms of collie. y good remedy to
have on hand for collie is turpentine,
one ounce: cannabis indica. one half
ounce; alcohol, four ounces; water, one
pint. This should be shaken we'll and
given as Il drench. In severe cases a
veterinarian should be sent for.
Barbed Wire Cuts.
Wherever horses are allowed to run
in pastures fenced with barbed wire
there will be frequent need of treat
deep. with considerable bleeding, the
first thing to do is to stop the flow of
blood. Alcohol. vinegar or alum wa
ter is good for this purpose. A solu-
ton of chloride of iron is still better
If the bleeding is from a large vessel,
compression will have to he applied,
toward the heart if an artery is cut or
away from it in the case of a vein.
Usually, however. barbed wire cuts do
not bleed seriously. They should be
cleaned thoroughly with warm water
to which carbolic acid has been added
at the rate of l to 100. If the wound
"matterates" openingshoud be made
at the lower part to allow the puS to
escape freely. The wound should be
washed daily with solution of chic
ride of zinc, one dram to one pint of
water. and little powdered iodoform
sifted on it. This iodoform aids heal
ing. prevents the formation of proud
flesh" and keeps the flies away. A
very bad cut should be dressed by a
veterinarian, as proper treatment will
reduce the size of the resulting scar.
| Calls.
4 When horses are put TO work in the
spring. gals are very likely to form on
their shoulders. This can be prevented
by the use of collars and by accustom-
ing the horses to work gradually. The
use of pads is seldom advisable. as
they become filled with sweat and are
hard and irritating. A hard leather
collar that fits snugly to the horses
neck is the best thing to use The
names should fit the collar snugly.
Washing the shoulders in warm water
every night helps to keep them from
CALLING. Sugar of lead. twenty grains
to one ounce of water, or nitrate of

A sweenied animal should be turned
out in the pasture until the shoulder is
filled up again. Injecting ten drops of
turpentine under the skin at intervals
not closer than one inch will greatly
hasten the process.
tuberculosis.
tuberculosis affects cattle. swine and
man. 1t has been clearly proved that
tuberculosis can be transmitted to
swine through the milk of affected
cows. and it is very probable that it
can be transmitted to human beings in
the same way.
tuberculosis can seldom be told by
the appearance of the animal. Often
the best looking COWS in the herd will
be the worst affected tuberculosis is
easily transmitted from one COW in a
herd to another The only safe way to
do is TO get the herd on a healthy basis
and keep it there. The tuberculin test
applied by a competent man is a sure
means of detecting the disease. The
diseased animals should be sold to a
soapmaker at once. If the disease
is present only in certain local parts of
the body the rest may be all right for
USE After the herd is once cleaned
up no animals should be brought on
the place that have not been subjected
to the test. In this way only can a
healthy herd be maintained.
Abortion.
Abortion is of two kinds. accidental
and chronic. Accidental abortion may
occur in almost any class Of animals
as result of moldy feed. strains or
injuries of any kind. Contagious abor-
ton is seldom troublesome except in
the case of cows. All cases of abor-
ton in cows, unless positively known
to be due to some other cause, should
be treated as contagious. If once in
troduced into herd this disease
spreads rapidly, almost destroying the
usefulness of the entire herd for breed
ing purposes.
AS soou as COW has aborted, the
calf, if it is dead. should be burned
together with the afterbirth. The
stall and the hind quarters of the COW
should be disinfected thoroughly. q

one-eighth its actual value. In Fargo
100000 worth OF property Is assessed
at $40,000--or two-fifths Of the value.
1t is an unjust burden on the city prop
erty owners.
The board of equalizers are also go
Ing after money on deposit-funds that
the owners claim they have gotten to-
gether since April i. One farmer is
reported to have had $4,000 here for
which he sold wheat In May and de-
posted the money in local bank. He
insists he was taxed on wheat on hand
elsewhere in the state April /, and now
Fargo is endeavoring to tax him on
the money for which he sold this wheat.
AS a result he is said to have removed
his deposits to Minneapolis. Fargo
banks are out the use of that money.
Had the money been on deposit prior
to April 1, the equalizers would have
been all right--as people with cash and
mortgages, eutos and diamonds have
no more right to escape payment of
taxes than the poor man in the rented
cottage. In fact the equalizers appear
to be at least as able to find the prop
erty in the cottages--as in the palatiaI
residences.
While the members Of the board Of
equalization know the amount Of
money that should be raised and about
what assessed valuation is required, it
is hoped they will not compel Fargo
property owners to pay a dispropor-
tionate share Of the county and state
taxes.

SPECIAL ELECTION.

In the excitement over the primaries,
the circus. the Fourth of July, the
prize fight and other events the people
of Fargo have almost lost sight Of the
special election to be held Wednesday
on the bond issue to provide for new
filtration plant and municipal water
ing plant.
The resolutions call for bond issue
of $4,000 for the waterworks plant
and filtration system-and $4,000 for a
municipal lighting plant.
There can be no argument against
the water bonds. If there is a resident
Of Fargo who can't see the necessity
of an improved water supply-it would
be useless to waste time endeavoring
to convince such an individual that
the filtration system is required.
That there is no necessity for the
city to incur the expense of $4,000 in
the establishment of a municipal
lighting system is equally apparent.
Fargo is now enjoying most reason
able rates. Reductions have been made
in the price of electric lights since the
purchase of the Union Light, Heat &
Power Co. by Chicago capitalists. They
are experts in the operation OF light
ing plants and own a string of them
over the west. There is no criticism
of either the price or the service.
Fargo has sufficient expense and
taxation without mourning any indebt-
edness that is not really needed. There
are too many necessities like an i'm
proved water supply, paving, sewer
age, extension of the water mains and
other essentials to indulge in the lux
ury of a municipal lighting plant that
cannot possibly supply light to custom
ers any cheaper than the present COM
pany-unless operated at the expense
of the taxpayers. ,.'..
