BOVINE BLUE BOOK
state to Keep Record of Dairy Herds
in Kansas.

Kansas is to have a blue book for
dairy cattle, it was announced today
by j H. Mercer. state livestock SAM
tary commissioner. Already work OF
testing dairy herds has been carried
on in Atchison, Leavenworth, Jetler-
son, Shawnee, Sedgwick and Wyan-
dotte counties, it was said. The cattle
are tested for signs of tuberculosis
DR.. r. D. Parrish and A P. Burdlck,
deputies in the department of the HVe-
stock sanitary commissioner, are reg
istering the cattle in the blue book
and in this way it is expected a com
plete record of all dairy cattle in the
state can be kept Wherever cases Oh
tuberculosis are found steps to eraol-
cate the disease are taken
The work is going on with remark
able success said Mr. Mercer, and
we consider the tuberculine test abso-
lutely sure of detecting the existence
of tuberculosis in cattle. In this
cleaning up of the dairy herds we ex-
poet to have sanitary conditions in all
parts of the state, thus making sure OF
the purity of all dairy products.
To date approximately 10000 head
of cattle have been examined, Mr..
Mercer stated

help TO FARMERS
County Bureau Gives Data on
Crops and Stock.
Kansas Communities Show In
terest in the Work.

Manhattan. Kan. March 29.-Since
1912. when the first farm bureau in
Kansas was organized in Leaven-
worth county. the work has grown so
rapidly that eleven counties now have
farm bureaus with agricultural agents
at work. according to reports received
at the extension department of the
Kansas State Agricultural college
here. 1t is estimated in these reports
that more than 100000 was saved
for Kansas farmers in 1915 through
the efforts of these bureaus in fight
ing hog cholera.
The farm bureau work has taken
such a hold in Kansas rural COM
munities. it was pointed out, that
three bureaus have been organized
just recently and in fourteen other
opened. In addition, five district agri-
cultural agents, each assigned to d
group of six or more counties, are en-
plOyed by the Agricultural college in
districts where the population is
small. These agents carry on work
similar to that of the county agents.
The method of organizing these bu-
reaus is responsible for their striking
success, it was asserted by college
authorities. No county can receive
money from state or federal appro-
priations for the support of a farm
bureau unless at least $50 farmers or
ganiZe according to certain require
ments and in this way show that they
have a real interest in agricultural
Improvement. The agricultural agent
is an employee of the bureau By
investigating local conditions. he helps
the farmers apply scientific methods
to meet the needs of the locality. His
business is to keep in close touch with
the best markets, and with the state

FLIvvER CARS TO WAR ZONE.
Fords Will Be Made Into Shrapnel for
European Nations.

Manhattan, Kan, March 29.-Did
you raise your Ford to be a shrapnel?
If a local dealer who is shipping out
a carload of junk, got hold of it, or
any discarded parts of it, that may be
its ultimate destination.
The dealer is loading a flat car
with an assortment of iron and steel,
which has been collected in and about
Manhattan, and is to be sent to Oma-
ha. Every conceiva BILE form of junk
including old automobile parts, is in
the shipment. which might we'll be
taken for a shipment of jitneys. The
war has created a demand for junk,
and it is possible that some of that
which is being shipped from Manhat-
tan may find it's way to the front.

DODGE CITY HAS LUNGMoToR.
Life Saving Apparatus Used First Time
on LifeIeSS Baby

Dodge City Kan, March 29.-Dodge
City can now boast of the possession
of a lungmotor, one of these life
saving devices having been purchased
this week by the Drs. Thompson &
Pine. The instrument is constructed
and operated on the same lines as the
pulmotor.
The first subject on which the in
strument was used was a baby born
without life. By use of the instrument
the respiration of the baby was suS-
tanned for forty-five minutes. The
iungmotor is to be installed at the
hospital and all the nurses will be
taught its use. In cases of accident
the instrument can be applied as soon
as it can be taken to the patient, and
in cases of this kind the saving of min
utes is a matter of vital consideration.

experiment stations and the Agricul-#
tural college. He scatters informa-
ton gained by the bureau members
themselves among other farmers, 1t
was pointed out and demonstrations
of better farming carried on by the
members of the bureau are super
vised by the agent.
Increase the Crops.
Reports received here show the
farm bureau with the assistance of the
agricultural agent makes the organ
iZation worth while. In Montgomery
county. the farm bureau marketed
over l. 900 tons of surplus alfalfa hay
for members of the bureau and got
an increase in price of from So to So a
ton, a gain of approximately $1,000
over what the individual farmers
could have obtained without the as
sistance of the bureau, it was said.
A stockman in Allen county asked
for suggestions in feeding of his
horses. BY following the advice Civ
feed, one report shows.
Sweet clover demonstrations in AL
len county have established legume
crop which has been much needed by
the soils of that county, according to
farm agents. The crop was tested on
various types of soil and under vari-
Gus conditions. Different methods of
seeding and handling were employed
and trials were made with and with
out the use of fertilizers, lime and ma
nure. The result is. that Allen coun-
ty has a legume crop which will i'm
prove the soil and furnish feed for cat
tie.
Visits the Farms.
Making farm tours is another means
employed by the farm bureaus in
studying improved methods, it was
pointed out. A route is planned, for
example, to take IN a good dairy farm.
a good poultry farm, a farm where
beef cattle are raised to advantage,
a well planned farmstead, and a farm
where hog raising has been very sue
cessful. The owner of each farm is
always requested, according to the
plan, to give a talk on the subject of
special interest, and the agricultural
agent usually gives a demonstration
on judging live stock or calls attention
to the improved methods used on the
particular farm. Two day tours are
often planned. This method of getting
new ideas in rural communities is rap
idly gaining in popularity in Kansas,

cultural college state. and a great i'm

Miss Kate J. Writings entertainment
at Library Hall last evening was the
finest of the kind that has been seen
in Topeka this season. The hall was
filled with people and many were com
PEELED to stand.
There was no hackneyed introduce
ton Miss Whiting judged rightly
that none was needed. The first num-
Der was Il little comedy "Qui Laura"
in which Miss Cora Zoek appeared as
a Muscovite princess and Miss Jennie
Stringham as Spanish lady. Cliff
Holbert appeared as the vicomte and
while they were both talking together
falls headlong before them.
The STORY the Pilot Told by Miss
Hendrix could scarcely have been i'm

''Reverie," violin solo by Miss
Norton was heartily applauded. Miss
Myrtle Welch recited Bob Burdette's
humorous story of the Hallway
Matinee The characteristics of the
half-dozen participants were brought
into prominence by rapid changes of
voice, attitude and gesture. Studies
in Plastiques" posing in Greek cos
tune by Misses Edwards and Carpen-
ter were very entertaining.
A selection by the Mandolin club
was encored and then came the finest
elocutionary display of the whole eve
stage and recited selection from
Amelie Rives's Virginia of Virginia"
The story is pathetic and the senti-
ment was brought out by Miss Whiting
in such manner to bring the
handkerchiefs to a good many eyes in
the audience. Miss Mamie Ettlinger
recited Mr.. and Mrs. Mann" The
little lady displayed rare natural tall
ent and thorough training, all the more
remarkable as Mamie is but Il child.
Miss Frazeur and Miss Whiting gave n
selection: Schiller's MARY Stuart"
The Creole Lover a song by George
Nolte was encored. Then followed a
series of emotive and illustrative ges-
lures by Miss Whiting and her pupils.
It was a lovely scene and one long to
be remembered.

Loyalty to Home Institutions

If "Buy at Home" is a good
slogan, what's the matter with
Attend Florida Schools?"
Just at this time catalogs of
schools located in different States
are being studied by parents in
various parts of Florida with
view of sending their children to
some of these far away institu-
tiOnS.
Children of Florida will leave
in a few weeks to resume their
studies in distant schools, the job
OF catalog studying having been
completed last year or the year
before.
There are good schools in other
States, but they are no better than
we have in Florida. There may
be larger buildings and more stu
dents in the schools of more pop
uIous States, but the opportunities
for acquiring knowledge are Just
as good at Gainesville, Tallahass-
ec, DeLand, Winter Park, Lake
City, Sutherland, Tampa, Orlando,
Jacksonville, and other points in
Florida, as at schools we could
name In other States. Distance,
however, seems to lend enchant-
mcnt.
Boys and girls who leave Flor
ida and spend years away from
the home State form Acquaintance
es whom they must leave behind
when they return comparative
strangers to their own community.
Whatever the calling is that may
be contemplated by boy or girl, it
is better to get a knowledge of it
among the people they expect to
live with.
No one can question the ability
OF the teachers at the Florida State
University, The Florida State
College for Women, and our other
Universities and Colleges. Some
are graduates of great schools of
learning in America and Europe,
and have taught in great schools.
There are books of reference on
every possible topic in the Florida
schools. Every facility known to
education is available.
The courses of study are com,
prchcnsive and complete.
Young men who contemplate
professional life, by attending oul
