M. U. SUPPLIES
LIVE STOCK JUDGES
Graduates of College of AgricuI-
ture Serve at So County
Fairs in 1914.

ait III 1914
The men who judge live stock
at the county or state fairs in
the future are going to be men
trained in agricultural colleges.
At sixty county fairs held this
summer in Missouri, fifty-three
had judges who had attended
the College of Agriculture
of the University of Missouri. 1t
was only seven years ago that
the College of Agriculture
started to send judges to these
fairs.
The recognized success of
these men is due to their knowl-
edge of the uniform standard set
in each class of live stock all over
the county. Only one type of
animal can be the right standard.
The Missouri College of Agricul-
ture has stock that illustrates
this standard. To maintain the
standard and to know it, in
structors and students visit the
best stock farms in the country
in addition to studying the herd
at the College Of Agriculture.
G. S. Templeton, Professor OF
animal husbandry of the Ala
bama Agricultural College, re-
Gently brought his stock judging
team to Columbia and spent
three days studying the stock on
the state farm. The trip was to
prepare the team for the live
stock judging contest at the
Tri-State Fair, Memphis, Tenn,
The Alabama team won.
Prof. Templeton is one the
stock judges turned out by the
University of Missouri. He was
a member of the 1910 team that
won the international Live Stock
Judging Contest at Chicago.
He was graduated from the Col
lege of Agriculture in 1911. II
is the success of such men as
Professor Templeton that has
shown Missourians where to get
Judges for their live stock fairs.

Largest Bank Vault in the
World.

An enormous door of armor
plate has recently been com
pleted at South Bethlehem,
Pennsylvania, for the largest
bank vault in the world. 1t will
be placed in the new ]. P. Nor
gan building, at Broad and Wall
streets, New York. 1t has taken
a year to build the door at a cost
of $4,000, and the vault to
which it will be attached will
cost 100000. The door and
vestibule attached to it weigh
120 tons. The vault will be
three stories high. Despite it's
enormous size, the door has been
so accurately constructed that
when closed it will make an air
tight and watertight joint. Be
ing constructed of solid armor
plate a burglar will find it an ex-
ceedingly difficult matter to
make any impression upon it.
The vestibule of the door is II
feet 6 inches in diameter, and the
door itself 8 feet in diameter,
with a thickness of 4512 inches.
It is controlled by two 5-inch
bolts, which in turn are con-
trolled by two combination locks
and these by a time lock with
four movements, so arranged
that any one of these movements
will permit the opening of the
combination lock.
The door swings on a crane
hinge with heavy pressure
mechanisms to force it to its seat
and to make the joint tight. This
prevents the introduction of any
explosive of a liquid nature. The
door, vestibule, and vault are
constructed of Harveyized nick
Ell armor plate. These plates are
made of the full thickness, and
are not held together by screws
or bolts, but are dovetailed on
the inner edges. After being
fitted tightly together wedges
are driven on the inside to hole
the plates solidly to their place

Value of Game Laws.

One of the chief obstacles to
the enforcement of game laws is
a general lack of understanding
as to their real intent and pur-
pose. Too frequently and too
generally they are regarded as
arbitrary enactments, whose
benefits accrue to those few
sportsmen-either professional
or chronic-who have placed un-
due stress upon a recreation by
making it largely a business.
The influence of this class is con-
~sequently of small value in indi-
eating to public opinion that this
misapprehension obscures en-
tirely the weightier design of all
laws for the preservation of
game.
1t is well that the many, and
not the few, should have oppor-
tunity to enjoy the health-giving
open air sports of hunting and
fishing, but there is also the pur-
pose of the continued supply of
just so much food that is espec-
tally palatable. Moreover, these
sports are the sole basis of
a very great business, in which
there is much capital involved,
and which employs many men
and women in the manufacture
of the innumerable items needed
for the prosecution of the sport.
To destroy the game, and it soon
comes to that without good game
laws duly enforced, is to destroy
this large business.
1t is not so difficult a matter to
preserve and perpetuate many
kinds of game in large numbers,
despite a prevailing impression
to the contrary. Quail and
prairie chickens thrive and null
tiply, wherever food and cover
are sufficient, whether in the
primitive wilderness or in cult
waited fields. Especially in the
latter they have the great adj
vantage of the destruction by
man of many Of their natural
enemies. All the innumerable
family of migratory wild fowl
need only undisturbed seasons of
breeding, and immunity from
hunting during their spring
spring fights, to maintain almost
countless numbers. 1t is the
recognition of this fact that is
needed to create a public senti-
ment that will demand a strict
enforcement in all respects
of the very adequate laws now on
the statute books for the preser-
walton of game in the State
st. Louis Times.

HUMAN Health and the FOOt-and-
Mouth Disease.

pressed IN S6NeTdl QUARTERS III
regard to the effect upon human
health of the present outbreak
of the foot-and-mouth disease is
recorded by Government author
tiles as somewhat exaggerated.
The most common fear is that
the milk supply might become
contaminated, but in view of the
precautions that the local au-
thorities in the infected areas
are very generally taking, there
is comparatively little danger of
this. Milk from infected farms
is not permitted to be shipped at
al. The only danger is, there
fore, that before the disease has
manifested itself some infected
milk might reach the market.
For this reason experts IN the
department recommend pasteu-
rization. AS a matter of fact,
however, pasteurization is rec
commended by the department
anyway for all milk that is not
very high grade and from tuber-
eulin-tested cows.
1t has been demonstrated by
experiments which have been
made in Denmark and Germany
that pasteurization viii serve as
a safeguard against contagion
from the foot-and-mouth dis
ease just as readily as it does
against typhoid fever, but in any
event it must thoroughly done
the milk must be heated to- 145
degrees F. and held at this tenn
perature for 80 minutes.
In this country the foot-and-
mouth disease has been so rare
that there are few recorded
cases of its transmission to hui
man beings. In 1902 few cases
were reported in New England
and in 1908 in a few instances
~.eruptions were found in the
mouths of children, which were
believed to have been caused by
contaminated milk. In both of
= iAese outbreaks the sale of milk
was stopped as soon as the dis
ease was found among the cattle
As long therefore as the disease
IAN be confined by rigid quaran-
tine to certain specified areas the
danger from this source is very
small. Should the pestilence
spread all over this country anC
become as general as it has beer
at various times in large areas in
Europe, the problem would be-
come more serious. Under any
circumstances, however, pasteu-
Fization would be an efficient
remedy. Where pasteurizatior
is not possible and where there is
any reason to suspect that the
disease may exist the precautioT

tonight, mob of $4,000 outraged peo-
pie stormed ths parliament building
and fought with the police.
The mob collected in Hibiya PARK
to protest against the alleged corrup-

the vote Of Lack of confidence in the
government. When they were inform

been defeated, the angry people
stormed the diet and made desperate
attempts to enter. The police sue
ceeded in beating back the onslaught
with their clwos and the troops wers
called out to combat the crowd. In
the meantime the deputies were es-
corted from the diet under police
guard and taken to places Of safety
Many deputies showed cuts and
bruises and one member, Deputy Ito,
nationalist, was carried out uncon-

The rioting continued into the night
but owing to police precautions the
mob did little damage. They stoned
street cars In various parts Of the
