North Dakota
Was Fortunate
While Other States Suffer From Cat.
tie Epidemic, Little Loss Here.

North Dakota has been very for
tunate in the fact that it has had no
cases Of foot and mouth disease
among its cattle during the past sew
eral weeks, when other states have
been .courged with the disease.
There has been no federal quaran-
tine against North Dakota. though
there is an embargo on importing cat
tie, which was placed by the live
stock sanitary board.
This embargo, however. will prob,
y: ably be raised by next Tuesday, il
nothing develops" said DR.. Crewe. ex.
.cutive officer of the board. yesterday
South Dakota removed its embargo
a week ago and Montana will be
opened soon, in all probability, Az all
cases have been stamped out in tha,
state. There was no development oi
the disease among cattle in Montana
the cases reported being among the
animals imported but these have
been killed and all yards and cars with
which they bad come in contact have
been disinfected.
1t is believed the cooperation o
government and state authorities has
successfully stamped out the disease
Throughout the country.

No Need to
Fear Meat
NO NEED TO FEAR MEAT

According to the specialists of the
Department of Agriculture people ev-
en- in States quarantined for the foot
and mouth disease need have no fear
of eating meat. provided they cook it
thoroughly. The foot and mouth di-
sease is not easily communicated to
human beings through food. although
milk from diseased COW might trans
NIT the disease to human being. In
the case of milk. however, pasturiz-
alton will render it entirely safe. HUI
man beings who do get the disease
commonly get it from direct contact
with sick animal. 1t is wisest. there
for. for people to keep away from all
animals having the disease unless they
are properly provided with rubber
gloves, coats. and boots. and these are
thoroughly disinfected after each WIS.,
it to the animals.
In the case of meat, as in the case
of milk. it must be remembered that
all herds which actually show the di-
sease are quarantined. and neither
milk nor meat from the sick animals
can be sold. Sixty per cent of the
meat used in this country is produced
in the nearly 900 federally inspected
slaughtering and packing establish
ments located in 240 cities. In these
establishments no animal is slaugh-
tered until it has passed an anti-mor-
tenn inspection and also a most rigid
post mortem inspection by veterin-
arian at time of slaughter. After
slaughter it's meat can not leave the
establishment until it has been care
fully examined and stamped ~. S.
Inspected and Passed" In all these
establishments no animal showing
any symptoms whatever of foot and
mouth disease is allowed to go to
slaughter. and no meat which, on
post-mortem inspection. shows any
suspicious symptoms of this COM
plant can be shipped out of the estab-

ed to serve ten days in the Burleigh
county Jail, charged with being in
contempt of the supreme court hat
gone to Fargo for the purpose of file
ing application for writ of habeas cor.
pus.
The application will be made before
Judge Charles F. Amidon in the
United States district court at Fargo.
at ten o'clock Monday morning. Nell
son was sentenced by the supreme
court last Monday, and lat the time
his attorneys are applying for writ
of habeas corpus he will have served
one week of his sentence.
The serving of ten days in Jail is
no more punishment, of course. than
just the mere formalty of being sem
fenced to that conhnemet. But vin-
dication before the courts will take
away the sting of the punishment.
We hold that the supreme court had
no jurisdiction in that case"
These were the statements made by
Mr.. Hellstrom.

Temporary Injunction
is Dissolved

Clendive, Dec. l-On Friday of this
week, Judge Hurley dissolved the tenn
porary restraining order. which had
been issued in favor of certain parties
of Ekalaka, commanding the authori-
ties at Baker, the new county seat of
Fallon county. to not remove the
books and other county records from
Ekalaka to Baker This means that
the authorities at Baker are now free
for the present to go ahead with the
regular routine of county government.
However it is the opinion that the
matter is not yet settled and that it will
be taken to the state supreme court
by the adherents Of the controversy
supporting Ekalaka.
Quite a brilliant legal array was re.
presented in the proceedings in dis
trict court here. On the side Of Ba-
ker were County Attorney Flasted.

removed when it is thoroughly cooked

near an infected region and wish to be
absolutely certain of the safety of thei,
meat should cook it thoroughly.

Stock Owners Warned
Against lmposters

Reports are now beginning to come
to the department from several of the
States quarantined for the foot and
mouth disease that persons who have
no connection whatsoever with the de-
partment are attempting to pass them
selves off as federal inspectors. There
are several possible motives that
might account for the existence Of
these imposters. In the outbreak of
1908 there were instances of men who
obtained money from credulous VIC
tins who believed that in this way they
would escape the inconvenience of a
quarantine and disinfection. This is.
of course. a very simple form of ex-
'ortion. Another motive may be the
sale of some quick remedy for the di-
sease.
Stock owners can protect them
selves very easily againt this fraud for
there is no specific remedy for the
foot and mouth disease. Since the
germ has never been isolated. it has
never been possible as yet to find any
crum that would act either as a cure
or preventative, and the public may be
quite certain that anyone who says
that he is an employee Of the Depart
rocnt of Agriculture. and at the same
time attempts to sell or even reccom-
mend anything of the sort, is simply
an imposter. For this reason stock
owners are warned not to allow strang-
crs to visit their stock or attempt any
demonstrations of so-called cures by
injections or otherwise.
There is. moreover. very great dam
ger that such people might disseminate
the disease. 1t is a we'll known fact
that the germs can be carried on cloth
ing. In infected territory, therefore.
it is quite possible that man who has
come in contact with stricken animals
may bring the disease to perfectly
healthy herd. This also accounts for
much of the spread of hog cholera.
The department therefore reccom-
mends all farmers to keep their ami
mails from contact with all save those
who have dehnate business with them.

Schsfer. N. D., Nov. 30.-The dead
body of Lars Yokstad, homesteader
living near Elidah postofce, four
teen miles northeast of here, was
found by his fifteen year old son,

ner Hinman was notified and held an
inquest which resulted in verdict OF
suicide.
The ridgelog from which Yokstad
hung himself was scarcely FIVE feet
from the floor of the barn. In order
to strangle himself it was necessary
for him to bend his knees until they
nearly touched the floor. He evident.

pare the moose SO that after it wa.
once drawn tight it would not slip. Be.
fore making the chain fast to the
ridgelog he passed the end through ar

Station Expert
Will Study Stock
North Dakota Will Broaden Scope Of
Experimental Work in the State. {.

Williston, N. D.. Nov. 80 The
North Dakota Experiment station and
sub stations under the direction of
Thomas P. Cooper will devote more
attention to live stock in the future
than has been given this branch of
farming in the past. In addition to
the central experiment station at Far
go, there are FIVE sub-stations where
the work will be carried on. A spe-
cial kind of stock will be studied at
each Of the several stations, although
efforts are to be made to give all the
stations a variety of livestock in Or
der to encourage the industry among
the farmers of the vicinity.
The Williston sub station is one Of
the first to secure start with live
stock. Two hundred and seventy
sheep have been received here from
Montana and will be fed during the
winter. For the purpose of observa.
ton they have been divided into diff
ferent bands, each band to be fec
different rations. Results obtained
will indicate the best method fol
farmers to follow with this class o
stock.
At Langdon the main work will b.
carried on with horses. Edgely sub
station has secured drove of Berk
shire hogs, which will be observed,
and cattle will be the most important
stock at the Hettinger sub-station
both the beef and the dairy types be
ing represented.
While the farmers have been urgee
to take up livestock for several years
the state has done comparatively littl.
to encourage the industry so far al
the experimental stations are con
cerned. When the stations were or
ganized their work was devoted te
grain Investigations. very largely. ane
only recently have funds become a
vailable for live stock.
