TUBERCULOSIS AMONG CATTLE

In the current issue of Farm and
Preside, published at Springfield, Ohio,
d. s. Burch, associate editor, writing
an article on the milk business, says
that the question of tubercular cattle
is becoming tremendously important.
article he gives some important facts
In the following extract from his
Taking the country as a while
about one twentieth of dairy cattle in
INFESTED herds are tubercular, and a
large amount of statistics, which, how
ever, are not entirely conclusive, indi
cate that one-tenth of human tuber
culosis is of bovine origin.
"The cost of testing cows for tuber
culosis is not necessarily expensive. II
costs about ten dollars for a herd oi
eight animals, though the charges will
vary with individual veterinarians
When from twenty to forty cows are
tested at a time, fifty cents per head is
the usual fee. These figures are from
Wisconsin. In small herds the cost
may be from dollar to two dollars a
head, seldom over that. The know
ledge that a COW is free from the dis
ease is certaily worth that price"

Baton Rouge, La, June 1S.-Just
when the house reformers-those bent
on putting through the Johnson (of
Bossier) nuisance and abatement bill
to wipe out restricted districts in Lou
isiana-were chuckling in their sup
posed strength, a cyclone hit them and
indefinitely postponed their bill by
vote of SO to 49, the long roll being
demanded and called.
William j. Johnson, of Bossier, re-
covered sufficiently from the shock to
given notice that on the morrow he
would move to reconsider the vote, but
the temper of the house showed very
p ainly that there had been a terrific
chance in sentiment and that the
abatement bill had scant chance.
The measure came up reported from
committee to be advanced on the cal
endar. Mr.. johnson made the usual
motion, when E. j. Reinhardt, of the

IMPROVEMENT IN THE
CATTLE INDUSTRY

In the current issue of Farm and
.Fireside appears the following ac-
count of how the cattle industry is
improving:
while the men influential in pack
ing and slaughtering circles were pro-
posing foolish laws against the slaugh-
tering of calves, their buyers were
trying their best to tempt calf owners
to sell. To an enormous extent how
ever, the stockmen of the United
States have refused to be tempted by
these inconsistent gentlemen, and the
market of the last year shows the
most stringent conservation Of calves
in the history of the cattle market.
At Chicago the calf supply in 1913
showed a decrease Of 100000 head as
compared with 1912-the smallest Of
ferings since 1914. Although the
dought forced an increase of 100000
head in all cattle at Kansas City, the
calf offerings there decreased 10000
head, and at Fort Worth, where the
conditions we're almost exactly similar,
calves fell off $4,000 head. Other mar
kets show similar decreases. This
stubborn hanging onto calves was car
ried on in the face of the most tempt
ing offers. During the Easter season
when the city people stopped lament
ing the slaughter of calves and tried
to fill up on veal, prices at the yards

The attempt of the militant suHra
gettes to blow up Britain's ancient
coronation chair the other day In
Westminster Abbey had greater ell
feet on public sentiment than any
thing done by them so far. To many
Britishers the chair is intimately and
essentially connected with the mon
archy.
The coronation chair, in itself and
associations, is perhaps the most re-
markable relic in the world. The chair
was made in the year 1900 for Edward

NORTH DAKOTA FARMERS
SWlNDLED OUT OF $4,000

In the current issue OF Farm ana
Fireside appears the following account
of how North Dakota farmers were
swindled out of $4,000 last year on
fake serums for hog colera:
at is easier to act without iuvesti-
cation, and also often more expensive.
The farmers of North Dakota will COM
pare favorably in energy and intelll-
gence with those of any state, but ac-
cording to d. F. Ladd of the state
college at Fargo they paid out more
than $4,000 last year for fake serums
for hog cholera. In view of the fact
that the loss from hogs much of which
might have been prevented by proper
vaccination, was 100000, the policy
of being easygoing was expensive.

SLUGGISH LlVEaS

No Need To Risk DisagreeabIe, DAN
gerous CalomeI Now That Dod-
sons Liver Tone Takes
Its Place.

Plenty of people-thousands of
them-have found that it is no longer
necessary to risk being "all knocked
out" by taking calomel when constipat-
ed or suffering from sluggish liver.
Nowadays Dodson's Liver Tone
takes the place of calomel
What calomel does unpleasantly and
often with danger, Dodson's Liver
Tone does for you safely and pleasant,
ly, with no pain and no gripe. 1t does
not interfere in any way with your
regular business, habits or diet.
Calomel is a poison, form of mer-
curry, a mineral. Dodson's Liver Tone
is an all-vegetable liquid.
OF course, this reliable remedy has
it's imitators. But Dodson's Liver
Tone has been made to take the place
of calomel right from the start. The
label on the bottle always has said so,
beginning with the first bottle sold
And it is widely known today how
coed Dodson's Liver Tone is as rem
edy and know that Dodson never
makes extravagant statements. He
says that it 'livens the liver" over
