friday about the State House was
as quiet as Thursday had been lively,
Practically all of the legislators having
zone home for the long week end re-
.oss and comparatively few visitors
liking their appearance.
The new State officers. who have SO
lr qualified, were at their Offices, in
.lading Governor Milliken. who put in
ONE busy hours at the Executive de-
,artment. No more appointments were
announced by the new heads of de-
oartments and none by the Governor.
IT is understood that the Chief Ex-
ccutive may not announce the ap-
pointment of a superintendent of pub
lie buildings until the return to the
Capitol of the Executive Council.

Charities and Corrections

Secretary James r. Bagley of the
Maine Charities and Corrections Com
mission is sending notices to the treas
urers of all State charitable and cor
rectional institutions and OF all State
aided institutions to the effect that the
filing with the State auditor estimates
of appropriations required for 1917 and
1918 and the budget conference pro-
posed by Governor Milliken in his in
augural address, will not obviate the
necessity of having the usual resolve
introduced by some member of the
Legislature as early as possible in the
session.

transportation companies have not
been as punctual as they ought in car
rying out the law which requires them
to notify this department on the ar
rival of horses or cattle; others did
not care to pay the price of eSamina-
ton which l feel in many cases has
been exhorbitant; and few have been
driven to places of hiding
"A law admitting horses, mules and
ponies into Maine upon an approved
health certificate might be of less ex-
pense to the importer and more eff
fective in the control of CHAMBERS and
farcy.
"Of the whole number of horses
examined on coming into the state
only two have been found to be dis
eased and destroyed without ap-
praisal.''

Preparing for Legis-
latiOn About Holsters

The report of the Commission for
the Protection of the Lobster Fisher
les will probably not be filed with the
Legislature before Jan. 20, according to
a statement made Friday by Repre-
sentative Joseph c. Hartman of Ston-
ington. chairman of that commission,
of which the other members are Capt.
Eben T. Lewis of Boothbay Harbor
and John l.. Donahue of Rockland.
One reason for this delay is that the
commission wishes to consider the re-
ports of the several states and Can
ada in order to gain certain outside
statistical information for purposes OF
comparison before completing the re-
port.
The Maine commission has given the
matter exhaustive consideration. nav

Some Ideas to be Pre-
scented to the Legislature

The attention of the majority of the
members of the 18th Legislature dur
ing the recess to allow the formation
and announcement OF the many COM
mttees is to large extent turned
toward some Of the matters which
they intend to present to the law-mak-
ng body for its consideration.
The advice of the Governor in his
inaugural address to be careful about
too much legislation will undoubtedly
he taken, as it should be, but of course
there are "A multitude of matters, con-
corning which the members may be
bound by duty and by promises to
their constituents to bring to the at
tention of the Legislature-and then
legislation thereon will be another
matter.
A great many things in addition to
Governor Milliken's recommendation
have been spoken of through pubic
talk or public print and we again men
ION them here-without endorsement
or advice but simply because they
have been mentioned elsewhere. They
include:

Chambers

1.-The ophthalmic mallein test has
cases of CHAMBERS that otherwise would
have been passed and the popularity
of the test is rapidly gaining wherever
this method has been applied. 1t il no
longer doubted that CHAMBERS is a
deadly disease, affecting the human
family as well as horses and mules.
and the work of controlling this dis
ease and the destruction of the infect
ed animals should be given prompt at
tention and consideration. In my lee
ture work throughout the State, the
Importance of controlling this dreaded
disease has been emphasized and spe-
cial requests have been made to Sc
lectmen and local boards of health
that all suspicious cases may be re-
ported and tested by inspectors of this
department. and if found diseased, de-
stroyed and the owner recompensed.
During the past year 54 horses
which have been owned in the State
one year have been found by inspec-
ton and test to be affected with CLAN
ders and condemned and appraised
and killed at cost to the State of
S3S4S.5O, or an average of s4334 per
head.
Following is list of the towns and
cities in which horses affected with
CHAMBERS have been found, and the
number in each place: Augusta, two;
Bangor, one; Belfast. five: Brownf1eld,
one; Brooks, two; Benton. two: Cam
bridge, one; Clinton, three; Corinna,
one; Bucksport, one; Damariscotta,
one; Dexter, one; Detroit, one; Dover,
one: Great Works. one; Gorham. one;

ish. one: Thorndike, one; Topsham,
one; Westbrook, one; Weeks Mills,
one: Winn, two; Waterville. one;
Union, one: South Hope, one; total, 54.
During the past year 1899 permits
have been issued for the importation
of $3.50 horses, mules and ponies. The
law requires that they shall be report
ed to this department within 4S hours
of their arrival. and a physical exam
ination or mallein test made by an
inspector for this department and the
examination reported to this Office.
The law has been complied with in
most instances yet some have gotten
by without the required examination.
This is due to several reasons:

Bovine tuberculosis

Bovine tuberculosis is the one dis
ease which is taking the attention of
both the producer and consumer of
dairy products at the present time
more than ever before. The study OF
tuberculosis, both in men and animals.
is one to which much attention has
been given for many years, and the
problem of its control among animals
is SO important at the present day as
to command the attention Of many in
VeStigatOrS.
THE situation in Maine is in no way
alarming compared with the reports
from other states, and | believe that
with the amount Of money expended
good progress made towards the con
troll of bovine tuberculosis. With a few
revisions, the law governing the work
Of this department is adequate and
sufficient, and if carried out with a
spirit of fairness on the part of all
concerned, greater progress might be
possible.
I'VE have great faith in the tuber
culn test as n diagnostic agent when
care is exercised and plenty of time
taken in making the application. We
have but little faith in a diagnosis
made by physical examination. conse-
quenty in the work of investigating
and detecting tuberculosis in the cat
tie of Maine. the tubercuin test has
been depended upon, and only in a few
cases have cattle been condemned on
physical examination.

COmr. Bearce's Report on
Hog Cholera and Chambers

Hog cholera prevails to a certain
extent among the city swill or garbage
fed hogs of the State but in no case
has cholera been found in farm fed
hogs for the past year." states Hon.
Boyden Bearce of East Eddington, the
State live stock sanitary commission
er, in his annual report which was filed
Friday with the Governor and Council.
In all outbreaks reported to this Of
flee anti-hog cholera serum has been
furnished free by the State while the
owner pays the veterinarian for adj
ministerng the serum"
Continuing. Commissioner Bearce
says in his report:
Hog cholera virus has not been
used in the State. The serum and virus
used together is called the simultane-
Gus or double treatment, and is admin
istered in many states to immune
healthy hogs or hogs which have not
been attacked by the cholera. The Sc
rum alone or single treatment is used
when there is an outbreak of the dis
aSe to immune some of the less af-
fected and to check the intensity of the
disease and many times lessons the
numbr of deaths in the herd. The Sc
rum alone is used in many states and
the serum and virus are allowed to
cross the border. Hog cholera virus is
very dangerous to use as it contains
the living germ of the disease and
laws should be enacted, or rules made,
governing it's use only under super
vision and regulations Of the live stock
sanitary commissioner.
THE feeding of city swill to swine is
generally entrusted to men who have
but little care and thought of what
effect the feed may have on the hog,
while men of good judgment and who
would be interested in their work
should be selected.
