SHOULD CLEAN UP HERDS
Aid for Tubercular Cattle Be-
fore Offer Closes.

Madison.-In view of the fact that
state compensation for tubercular-
lied animals will cease on July l.,
1913, the state livestock sanitary
board is now starting a systematic
campaign to dispose of reactors in
Wisconsin herds. Agents of the
board will test all herds, giving own
ers opportunity to take full advan-
tage of the states offer. The board
has a plentiful supply of tuberculin
on hand.
The law, according to State Vet
erinarian 0. H. Eliason, requires
there shall be no discrimination in
the distribution Of tuberculin be-
tween veterinarians and men who
have taken examinations to qualify
to make the tests. A recent ruling
by the board requires that the Ii
censes held by others than veteri-
narians shall be renewed from year
to year.
Those owners of cattle who expect
to be paid for dead animals, victims
of diseases, are advised by DR.. Ella
son to "clean up" their herds
promptly

DIVORCE MADE EASY
Law in Norway Makes Separa-
ton Practically Free.
Some NorWegians Think That They
Have Solved the Problem of Civ
iIization in Recently Enacted
Statutes.

London.-Norway has now solved
the divorce evil. At least SO declares
Fru Ella Anker, one of the leaders OF
he Norwegian women's movement.
In explaining the divorce law F'ru
Anker said: First l want to make it
clear that this law which has done SO
much to solve the divorce evil in my
country was one of the direct results
of the Acknowledgement of my sex.
The law was passed by Liberal gov
eminent, but it had the support of all
parties. 1t is based on the principle
that mutual love between the husband
and wife is the only moral basis for
marriage. When that feeling fails or
is seriously shaken it is absurd to
bind the two together any longer. The
law ought then to step in and provide
the means for divorce Our law pro-
vides admission to separation as the
preliminary to divorce when both par
ties request it, and similar relief when
one requests it on such grounds as to
make it probable that mutual good
will is ruined. If there is agreement
between husband and wife, the law
grants divorce without inquiring
into the reasons, but as security that
the step has been we'll thought over
before action, it provides that a year
of separation must intervene between
the application and the actual grant
ing of the divorce. If the request Is
made by only one party two years OF
separation must precede the actual
divorce.
I'm my country divorce is not
looked upon as disgrace, but rather
