H. P. Bjorge, Of Lake Park, who
has announced himself as a. candidate
for Congress, made a mistake when
he critized Representative Steiner
sons record on "Cannonism." To be
sure it is the fashion now to cuss
"Uncle Joe," but it is not necessary
for a representative to get into the
Democratic party to prove that he
is in accord with his constituents on
this subject. Mr.. Stevenson has act
ed with the so-called insurgents as
consistently as could be expected of
any Republican, and was one of the
% Republicans to vote for change
in the committee on rules and the ap-
pointment of standing committees,
which took this power away from
Speaker Cannon. He has repeatedly
voted against Cannon and his record
is perfectly satisfactory to the people.
In lengthy letter to the public Mr..
steenerson shows that his record on
Cannonism is not only consistent but
is one that will meet the approval OF
any fair minded man. Norman Co

cutting UP hill and the other down.
Six years ago steep hill east Of my
house was in a trough shape, and l
plowed the sides and threw it in with
the scraper until had it highest in
the middle and about twenty feet
wide. It took about one-half day.
Then I commenced dragging it, and
quite large ditch had got on one
side. I widened it by running against
the bank with the wagon wheel while
driving to the field, using it for lock
and to wear out the bank.
A hill west Of my place which com,
menced to drag some time ago was
lowest in the middle. had ten acres
of ground to plow, which took me
about four days. hitched on to my
drag with three horses, put the pillow
on It and started to the field. COM

course, the middle was foot the high

went to the field and would set my
drag into the bank wherever it would
get mellow. The elements did at least
60 per cent Of the work. You may

TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
BY Dr.. David Roberts.
Wisconsin State Veterinarian, '06-7-8

tuberculosis or Consumption in
cattle is an infectious and cOmmuni-
cable disease known by the formation
in the glands and other parts of the
body of small punches called tuber-
cles. It is from these tubercles that
the disease receives IFS name. Tuber-
culosis. The gems Of tuberculosis
enter the body by way Of the nostrils
in the air breathed, or by way of the
mouth or digestive tract in feed. AS
soon as the germs enter the body
they begin to multiply, slowly but
surely, until the entire body of the
animal becomes affected; such ami
mails spread the disease to other ami
mails stabbed with them and calves
or pigs consuming milk from tuber-
culosis COW are liable to become af-
fected as are human beings.
All germ diseases, and especially
tuberculosis, are more liable to affect
animals LldC are IN run uOWu COLL
dition, such as COWS afflicted with in
fictitious absorption or retained after
birth, than those that are in a strong,
healthy condition, for the reason that
the animal that lacks vitality acts as
a hot bed for the germs of disease
to propagate and multiply, while the
healthy, strong, vigorous animal may
ward off the disease to some extent.
tuberculosis being largely house
or stable disease due to artificial life
such as being housed or stabbed,
every possible precaution should be
taken to prevent disease. One tuber-
culous COW in close, FOUL hot, badly
ventilated stable is liable to infect all
other cattle in the barn. To prevent
and guard against disease, it is neces-
sary to maintain absolute cleanliness.

times when the road was in trough
shape l plowed as close as eighteen
feet. And low places and near culVerts

three or four burrows on a side. BY

Just what had to be done and how to

by the people, In the fall some wanted
their roads graded again and donated
the work. 1 got $3.50 donation work.
Then went on the roads again with
the plows and plowed one furrow on
each side of the road, then fixed cul-
verts and put in the time throwing up
low places and filling large bitches. I
then went over the road with grader,
asking a little donation In some places
where the roads needed little more
work. I got $50 donation and the roads
In fine shape. Next year went on the
road and fixed culverts and places
where water had made some large
bitches and scraped in the sand that
lodged in the low places and at the
foot Of the hills. When the ground got
