that his career as a sawbones should
be nipped In the bud on this account,
he resorted to a method which was
once much in vogue among medical
students, but which is now considered
to be obsolete-he robbed grave.
A young man named Blackiston had
distinguished himself as law student.

FIGHT ON TUBERCULOSIS
SHOWS MARKED RESULTS

New York, May 16.-In the decade
from 1901 to 1910, the death rate
from tuberculosis in the United States
fell from 1868 for each 1000 per-
sons living TO 1903, a decrease of
1871 per cent, while the general death
rate, including all causes OF death,
declined only one-half as fast or at
the rate of 81 per cent, from 1850
to 1883. These figures are given
out in a statement issued today by the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. The
decline OF the tuberculosis death rate
IL the last 10 years means a saving
of $1,000 lives year at the present
time.

A NEW DAIRY QUEEN.

A five-year-old Holsteln cow named
Banostine Belle De Kol, owned by Dim
mick Bros. Of Ohio. has lately broken
all records for production Of butter
fat Her best record for milk for
seven days was 672 pounds. which
produced 24.69 pounds of butter fat,
or the equivalent of thirty pounds Of
commercial butter. Her milk output
for thirty days was 2,S2S pounds,
which yielded n;nety-nine pounds of
butter fat. while her milk record for
the year was 27,404 pounds. which
tested 1856 and yielded 1858 pounds
Of butter fat, which would make 1928
pounds Of butter. This. us will be
seen. is an average of over three and
one-half pounds per day for 1865 days.
Banostine Belle De KoPs ration con-
sisted of ensilage and alfalfa. roots,
dried beet pulp. green corn. green
clover and other green food available
and a grain ration consisting largely
Of bran and oats that varied from nine
to twenty-five pounds per day, depend

A LATE TEST ADVISABLE.

How seed corn that shows a nearly
perfect termination test the latter part
OF January may be dead when tested
In April Is nicely shown In an incident
related to the writer by a friend the
other day. The batch of corn referred
to showed test Of % per cent the lat
ter part Of January. Up to that time it
had been dry, being stored In a vacant
house. Early in February a warm wet
spell ensued. followed by severe cold.
In this interval the SEQ ears gathered
dampness. IN April, without further
testing. this seed was sold as guaran-
teed to grow on the basis Of the Janu-
airy test But 1t didn't grow, and the
farmer who sold 1t In good faith had
peck Of trouble on his hands. The
incident makes plain why corn should
be tested just before it is planted to
make assurance doubly sure.

TRUTH ABOUT DRY FARMING.

It Is q trait Of human nature rather
than Of folks who live In a particular
section of the country to paint In
glowing terms the advantages and to
minimize or say nothing Of the disad-
vantages Of the thing or things they
may have for sale. Particularly is this
true of those selling land. and 1t holds
of boomers who are trying to dispose
of farms In the dry country as truly as
Of those In the south who try to palm
Off as agricultural land alligator
swamps and mosquito and malaria
ranches. In the face Of this type OF mis-
representation It Is refreshing to note
the following paragraph, which is from
the literature published by the state
board of immigration Of Colorado. The
facts set forth are true not only Of Col
orado, but of practically all Of the vast
arid and semiarid territory west Of the
two hundredth meridian:
"Dry land farming Is q continual
fight against relentless, unfavorable
conditions. Success depends upon the
man-his courage, his knowledge, his
Judgment and his persistence. Phys
zeal strength Of both men and women
Is a large factor in this struggle. With
the best seeds and methods Of tillage,
there will be some years Of total fall
ure and many others Of short crops.
1t is safest to lay plans that Will fur
nish living with an average Of two
failures each five years. There have
been three consecutive years Of no
crops. followed by as many years of
good crops. Conditions are much more
favorable than they were twenty or
even ten years ago. There has been no
increase In the rainfall, but the meth
DDS Of storing and holding moisture In
the soil are better understood. Today
there are dry land plants that will pro-
duce crops with limited rainfall, and
seeds of these crops that have been Sc
lected and bred under arid conditions
are the best for use"
