QUARANTINE STOCKYARDS
Drastic Measures To Prevent Spread
Of Cattle Disease.

Drastic Measures To Prevent Spread
Of cattls Disease.
Chicago, Nov. 5.-Disinfectants to-
day were sprayed over the $40 acres
OF cattle pens at the Union stockyards
to begin Saturday, and to continue un.
til November Is, because Of the pre-
valence Of foot-and-mouth disease
among cattle. An idea of the magni.
tude of the work is shown by the fact
that 800 men are thoroughly disinfect-
ing $4,000 pens, 725 chutes, and 25
miles of water troughs before business
at the stockyards. the worlds largest
cattle market, may be resumed.
Suppsementing the federal quaran-
tine against the state movement of
cattle from Illinois, the state livestock
board ordered quarantine, also to
take effect Saturday, when no ship
ments are to be permitted between
points within the state until all cattle
pens are disinfected and pronounced
usab!e by the state. This action puts
an absolute embargo, not only on the
stock yards. but also on all the live
stock receiving depots of the big meat
packers.
Few new cases of disease were re
ported today. The 600 infected cattle
valued 1t $4,000. which were held tt
blame for the presence of the disease
in Chicago, were destroyed.
| Eighteen prize cattle out of lot o
1000 exhibited last week at the Ma
tional Dairy Show, were also destroy
ed. B. j. Stanley, state veterinarian
said the remaining prize cattle
brought here from 20 states and Can
ada, would be held for developments
and if they would be destroyed, ever
though it might entail loss of sew
eral million dollars.
The National Livestock exhibition
the largest livestock show in tn,
world, was to have been held in Chi
cago, beginning November 2s. bu

incomplete Returns Give Democrats
Good Working Majority.
New York, Nov. --latest returns
from yesterdays election indicate that
the democratic majority in the house
of representatives for the 65th con-
gress will be reduced to %. The prob
able democratic majority in the senate
will be IA.
Democrats have elected 226 mem.
bers OF the house, republicans 192,
progressives 10, and socialists one. OF
the six missing districts, 1t was esti.
mated tonight that the republicans and
democrats might elect three each.
Heaviest republican gains were in Illi-
nois, IL in New York, 10 in Pennsyl-
vania, and nine in Ohio.
Progressive representation in the
house was cut from 10 to nine or ten.
This resulted from the general "ol-
lapse of the progressive organi. alton
throughout the country except in Cali
fornia.
| Contests which were so close that
they could not be determined at late
hour tonight were claimed by the dem.
ocrats in two districts in Colorado and
one in New Jersey, and by the repub-
licans in two districts in Kansas and
one in North Carolina.
:, On the basis of the latest returns
the senate of the Gath congress will
remain in democratic control by one
increased majority. Although there is
uncertainty regarding the election in
Utah and Nevada, the indications are
that the new senate will consist of SIS
democrats, 40 republicans and one pro.
gressive.

Fourteen Prohibition States.

nights returns, which show that pro-
hibition was adopted in Arizona,
Colorado, Georgia. Kansas, Maine,
Mississippi, North Carolina, North
Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennes-
see, Virginia, Washington and West
Virginia.
Alabama at one time adopted
prohibition amendment, but later res

Big Stockyards Are Closed.

Chicago, Nov. GA large part of
the cattle receiving and meat packing
industry of the country, long centered
in Chicago, tonight temporarily was
shifted to Kansas City, Omaha, St.
Joseph, Mo-, and other western cities,
and the Chicago Union stockyards, for
the first time since its organization in
1865, was closed for nine days, on &C.
count of the foot-and-mouth disease
among the cattle. The quarantine
against the stockyards and all other
cattle pens within the state went into
effect at midnight. The states action
supplements the federal quarantine
against Illinois.
No more cattle, sheep or hogs are
to be received in Chicago until Novem-
! ber 16, when business is to be resumed
after the yards have been thoroughly
disinfected and pronounced free from
the disease.
The packers sent tonight to Kansas
City and their other western branches
900 killers and butchers, to kill and
dress the animals which ordinarily
would have been sent to Chicago. They
announced that the products from
their western plants would be suffi
cient to supply the market without
any change in prices.
An optimistic view of the situation
was taken here. All the packers said
they had enough stock on hand to run
their plants for three or four days and
none of them would entirely shut
down.

Dairy Is Wealth Producer,

Chicago, Nov. 6.-At the National
Dairy Show here in the Wisconsin
Agricultural college exhibit is chart
which shows that in 1912 Wisconsin S
dairy products amounted in value to
$S5.557,967. Against this was shown
the gold output of Alaska at $17,39S,
943; of California, at s19,9SS,4S6; and
of Colorado. at $1S,791,71O. These
gold states are not in it with the min
ing done by the humble COW of Wis
consin. Minnesota is pressing hard on
tn s60,0O0,0O0 mark. and real active
interest in dairying on scientific prin
ciples is only a few years old in Min

Many Changes In Congress

Washington, Nov. 5.-Many chang
es in the organization of the house
of representatives will be made when
Champ Clark and "Uncle Joe" Can
non once more face each other across
the center aisle at the beginning of
the next congress. The dwindling of
the democratic majority, which will
drop after the close of the December
session from 14O to AZ, will necessi-
tate general shifting of the working
order in the house.
With their slender majority, the
democrats, while able to re-elect
Speaker Clark and retain control of
the committees, will be forced to
maintain an almost perfect organiza-
tion. Even with full attendance in
the house, a shift of II votes would
throw control to the minority side
Practically complete returns tonight
gave the democrats 229; republicans
1856; progressives, Z; socialists, l.;
independents /.
Democratic leadership in the house
will undergo great changes. Repre-
sentative Underwood was elected tC
the senate, and will leave the house
at the close of the December session
Representative Kitchen of North Car
olina, the ranking democrat on the
ways and means committee, will
claim the democratic leadership by
right of seniority. and is expected tC
have the support OF southern demo
Gratis generally.

Termination Of Campaign.
London, Nov. 9.-That England is
prepared to carry on the war indefini-
tely with every confidence in the re-
suit, was the tenor of the speech at
the annual banquet that inaugurated

Guildhall tonight, delivered by the men
who are responsible for the conduct
OF the war.

whose massive figure, clad in service
Khaki lowered above the audience of
the thousand men and women in the
historic building, while expressing sat-
istaction at the response to his call for
men and the progress of their military
training, impressed upon the nation
that the war would be long one, and
he would require more men and still
more until the enemy is crushed
he also made quiet reference to

hearers that the enemy would, besides

rived in England, in addition to the
million and a quarter men now train

corn crop is perhaps the most valua-
BILE ever grown, owing to it's increased

mate, that the crop would amount to
2,7O5,6 900 bushels and that on No

Presidential Primary Must Wait.

Washington, Nov. 9.-President Will
son does not expect presidential pri-
mary law to be passed during the next
session of congress, and some demo-
cratic leaders do not believe one can
be enacted to be effective in 1916.
In his message to congress last De-
cember the president urged that such
law be passed Immediately and ex-
pressed hope that there would be a
general agreement. He is known still
to favor a primary law but investiga.
ton has impressed on him the diff.
culties of the technical details.

AS a further achievement of Gov

that for the first time since the ad-

DAIRY DoINGs.

Much of the damage that is
done to milk in this country is
due to careless handling of the
utensils in which the milk is
kept.
The milking machine is rapidly
growing in popularity. 1t is PROV
ing itself successful. practical
and eminently suited to the
needs of farmer dairymen every
where.
A bull tied in the stall will get
lazy and useless, besides making
extra work in the care and feed.
Have supply of good milking
stools in the dairy barn, but use
them for milking purposes, and
not for beating the cows.
In dairying there is no excuse
for the man who goes at it blind
ly and blames luck and the
weather for his failure.
