mild in it's form, was not noticed by
the persons handling the cattle, and
these same cattle were soon afterward
placed on sale at a public stock yard,

Proper handling and testing of the

Tuberculin, used as a diagnostic agent
for the detection of tuberculosis or
cattle, is a biological product OF great
Importance to the human race. 1t has
been proven that tuberculosis of cat
tie is transmissible to people through
the flesh and especially the milk or
affected cows. If cows are tested with
tuberculin not of sufficient strength,
an improper test results, and a dis
eased COW may be declared free OF
tuberculosis and be arowed to remain

to infants or invalids. By proper su-
pervision of manufactures or by allow

also these products could be kept out

cember 81, pI omises to be one of the
greatest attractions ever held, and tnou-
sands of ex hibits win be shown from

In my Judgment it would not be posi-
BILE to prevent the death of the roots of
the cotton plant by throwing earth to
them after the plan suggested in your
letter Even if this were practical, we
doubt very much whether you would
secure a crop which would mature
much earlier than one raised from seed
planted in the spring. As matter OF
fact, you could not prepare the seed
bed or fertilize it so well as were the
seed replanted, and though you might
succeed in protecting the roots of the
plant so that they would retain their
vitality until the spring, a late frost
might then easily destroy the crop We
have seen comparatively few cotton
plants go through the winter and woulo
not regard this as a practical method
OF growing this important crop. We
have assigned several reasons herewith
to justify the position taken with ref
erence to this matter. If we desired 70
raise an especially early crop of cotton
for ourselves, we would prefer to ploW
the land as soon as practicable, turn
ing it up as deeply as possible and sub
soiling. Disk a few times during the
winter to keep the crust broken, so
water will be readily absorbed. Har-
row and prepare a fine seed bed in the
early spring. Bed at such distances as
the strength of the land makes advis-
able, and plant a bushel of seed to the
acre as early as you think you can
afford to do and escape a frost suffl-
icently severe to kill the cotton. The
use of a good grade of fertilizer togeth-
er with compost and yard manure al
the rate of two tons per acre will help
to force the crop along and also to in
sure a good yield.

Facts Worth Knowing

There are three entirely different kinds
of Ingredients used in making three
differ, t.varieties of baking powders on
the market, viz % Mineral Acid or
Alum (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and(3)
Cream of Tarter made from grapes. 1t is
important, from the standpoint of health
to know something about these ingredi-
ents, and which kind is used in your
baking powder.
O. Minerdl-Acid, or Alum, is made
from a kind of clay. This is mixed with
diluted oil of vitriol and from this solu-
ton product is obtained which is alum.
Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a
a pouad, and baking powder made with
this Mineral Acid sells from 10 to 25c a
pound.
~ Bone-A cid. or Phosphate, is the
basis of phosphate baking powders and
the process is fully described in the pat
ents issued to large manufacturer of
phosphate powder. The u. S. Patent
Office Report gives a full and exact de-
scription, but the following extract is
enough:
Burned bones, after being ground,
are put into freshly diluted oil OF yitrioi
and with continual stirring and in the
proportion" etc.
From this one-AcidIphosphate baking
powders are made; such powders sell
from 20 to 80 cents a pound.
81 Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe
grapes, and flows with the juice when
the grapes are pressed. The tartar IS
subsequently gathered from the cask,
boiled with water, and refined, when
CRYSTALS of Cream of Tartar, white and
very pure, separate and are procured.
IL differs in no respect from the form IN
which it originally existed in the grape.
Cream Of Tartar. then, while the most
expensive, is the only ingredient that
should be used in baking powder to act
upon the soda, as its whoiesOmeuess is
beyond auestion Cream of Tartar pax
ing powders sell ar about 40 to % cents
pound,
Such are the facts, and everyone, care
full Of the health of the family, should
remember this rule:- Baking powders
selling from 10 to - cents pound are
made of Mineral Acids; those selling
from 20 to 80 cents of Bone Acid; ana
those from 10 to so cents OF Cream OF
Tartar made from grapes.

Fire Waste

Cor losses by fire are an average OF
threetheaters, three public halls, twelve
chn1cles, ten schools, two hospitals, two
asylums, two colleges, six apartment
houses twenty.six hotels, three depart
ment stores, two jails, 40 fathouses
and 1000 dwellings every week of the
year"
This summary of the appalling fire
waste in the United States is made by F.
w. Fitzpatrick of Washington, Secretary
of the National Builders and Inspectors
Association. More startling still is his
statement that there are barely ten build
ings in the United States that are really
freproof
He adds that during a normal year,
the United States spends nearly three
hundred millions for the maintenance
of fire departments, for water and for
general fire protection. Americans also
pay to the insurance companies in year
the total amount of one hundred and
ninetyhve millions in premiums and get
back ninety i've millions in payment on
losses, Ia brief, he figures, fires cost
Americans the enormous total of six
hundred millions year. Aside from this
great waste of money, about fifteen hun
dred people were killed in fires last year
and nearly six thousand were severely
injured.

to say that if Judge White can be pre-.

ton. there will not be, as you say, any
opposition to him This county is for
tunate in having such an able Probate
Judge and he will be re nominated.
Now, while it is true that our States
Attorney is serving a second term, we
see the good work that he is doing.
Would it not be a wise course to con-
tinue him in office He is certainly the
biggest terror to evil doors that has filled
the office for many years. While Roger
Hulburd iseone of nv best friends and one
of Watervilles boys, do not think he
has the time to spare from his extensive
practice and other business to attend to
the States business as it should be. Mr..
Maurice has done well. Can we afford
to dispense with his services
Again, allow me to say word about
the Assistant Judges. Why not give
Judge Mower a third term, as we need
one of the old Judges in office Let Judge
Walker, who has served three terms,

as the county buildings will, we hope, be
finished before his term expires. IT there

DEAR Mr., LEWIS -
Your editorial on "LamOille County
Politics. last week was timely and to
the point in many respects. Allow me
to say lew words.
First of all, we are pleased to learn
that Judge White is suggested" for
Probate Judge He has proved himselfan
efficient and competent judge and we all
want him again.
AS to States Attorney Morristown
sees no reason why its present efficient
official should not be again nominated.
The fact that he is serving his second
term should not debar the county from
further service from this faithful and
competent officer. Let's give" Maurice"
another term, not SO much because he
wants it as that the county wants him.
With Maurice as States Attorney and
Geo. Town as Sheriff this town will prob
ably not ask for any other office. We
have good material tor all OF them, but
do not want the earth. Yours
