Competition is restricted to the

course who have not taken part in a
previous similar contest. This re-

The contest will consist of placing,
according to their relative merits,
nine classes of four or five animals
each. The classes to be judged are:
Three classes of cattle. two of draft

COSTS 3 l.. BILLIONS A YEAR
Infectious Diseases Could BE Pre-.

Infectious Diseases Could BE Pre-
vented. DR.. Calvert Says.
Infectious diseases cost the people
of the United States annually 3 1-2
billion dOllars.-that is a statement
made by DR.. W. J. Calvert. of the
School of Medicine in his lecture
yesterday to the School Extension
Society. We ought not to sacrifice
lives and money in any such way to
infectious diseases that in most
cases could easily be prevented, he
said.
Doctor Calvert said tuberculosis
is the most costly of these diseases.
THE yearly EOS in this country of
typhoid fever alone would be sufi-
cient to build the Panama Canal.
Yet these two diseases can in a great
measure be prevented when people
learn how to combat them and will
do it"
Two things to be considered in
their prevention are dust and flies.
In sweeping with a broom dust is
thrown into the air by the broom
and finally settles on the floor and
furniture. From here it is knocked
into the air again with a feather
buster and by thus constantly STIR
ring up the same dust there is dan
ger of spreading infectious diseases
and especially tuberculosis. Persons
fected houses are almost sure to get
tuberculosis from this dust. For
this reason Doctor Calvert con-
demned the broom and feather dust
er as for removing dust. In
stead of these he says to use mOps
and damp cloths.
Doctor Calvert spent some time in
showing how typhoid bacilli are car
ried by flies and how these bacilli
may get into the soil and then into
the water and milk supply.
Doctor Calvert explained that the
deep well water supply in Columbia
is not likely to be contaminated.
He explained that the only water
which can get into these wells must
first be filtered through sand and
rock and in this way all the bacilli
are removed. If rain water is used
Ito drink it must be carefully filtered
and V allowed to run into the
, cistern until the rOOf is thoroughly
washed. AS a disinfectant for ty-
phoid fever there is nothing better
than ; per cent carbOlic acid. This
acid kills the typhoid bacilli and
those of most of the other infectious
diseases. In conclusion Doctor Cal
vert said to be sure to disinfect
everything in any a connected
with a typhoid fever ease by means
of this acid.

''BUILD YOUR HOUSE BETTER"
Construction of Building Prevents
Many Fires. Ii Is Said.

Construction of Building Prevents
Many Fires. Ii Is Said.
G.. +. Sasse. the representative of
! an insurance company in Columbia,
believes there would be fewer fires
if the city or the people. themselves,
would see that their houses are
constructed properly. In a cOmmun-
icatiOn to the MiSSOurian, he says:
THE need of fire resisting cOn-
structiOn in the buildings of the
country is apparent, when We con-
slider the statistical data given be-
low. This data shows that the total
cost of fires in the United States last
year amounted to one-half of the cos
of new buildings constructed in the
country for IN year. The total cost
of fires amounted to $456,4S5, 900, a
tax on the people exceeding the total
value of gold. silver, copper, and
petroleum produced i'm the United
States in that year.
THE reason that this is true and
the reason that the fire loss is so
heavy is that the restrictions on
building construction are not put in
force and are not strict enough. We
can notice it here in our own town,
one of the leading towns of the state.
and one where all the precautions
possible should be taken against fire,

STATE TAKES HAND in FIGHT.
New Jersey Leads In Advanced le9is-

Of tuberculosis. y. q 7, i .55i

What is designated by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
ton OF tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state in the United
States, If not by, any country in the
world, is found in a bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
Of health concerning the prevention OF
their disease, and thus become q men
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsortly
segregated by order of the courts, In
Institutions provided for this purpose.
II such a patient refuses to obey the
rules. and regulations Of the institu-
ton in which he is placed, he may BE
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vldes that all counties in the state
of New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care of all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub.
sidize each county to the extent OF

cows SHOULD cALvE. IN FALL
Dairy Department, Of the University
OF Missouri Recommends This az
the Best Practice.

A number of reasons are given for
the practice Of most dairymen of hav-
Ing cows calve in the fall instead Of
in the spring. The Dairy Department
Of the University of Missouri recon.
mends this as the best practice In
most cases. for some of the following
reasons: "
Prices for milk and butter fat are
highest in the winter, and 1t Is destr-
able that the COW be fresh to give the
maximum flow. When she begins to
decline in the spring, the fresh grass
Of pastures will stimulate her to hold
up to good production. =
calves in the first few months OF
their growth are fed mostly by hand.
In winter there is more time to care
for them properly. The grass of
spring will come along just when they
are getting started on rapid growth.
"The dry period Of the COW will
come at the time Of year when pas
lures are usually poor In Missouri,
and when flies are bad. This will
G.ve relief to the cows when they
need 1t, and will be easier for the
mixers.
"In cases where regular milk
trade is to be supplied, it is necessary
to have the COWS calve at intervals
SO that there will be almost a uni
form flow, but where the farmer Is
selling cream it seems best to have
the calves come In the fall"

nails fell OF, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no

EXPERIMENT IN COW FEEDING
Result Of Number Of Tests Made by
the North Carolina Station, on
Rations for Milk.

The North Carolina agricultural ex-.
pertinent station recently concluded
a number Of experiments to determine
the relative efficiency Of narrow and
medium wide rations, for milk produc-
ton, a report of which has reached
the department Of agriculture.
Eight cows from three to six weeks
IN lactation were fed three periods Of
twenty-eight days each. In the first
and third periods the feed consisted
five parts Of cottonseed meal, four
quarts wheat bran, three parts OF corn
meal and fifty pounds Of corn silage.
The nutritive ratio Of this ration was
about IA.
During the second period the ration
was the same as the above except
that 2.5 pounds of cottonseed meal
was replaced by .2.5 pounds of corn
meal, giving this ration q nutritive
ration Of about 1.57 The result OF this
test indicates that the narrow ration
produced rs per cent. more milk fat.
and increased the fat test 0.24 per
cent. and the live weight 80 pounds.
The milk yield was practically the
same.
