FIND TUBERCULOSIS
IN UNIVERSITY HERD

A recent examination of the dairy
herd Of the University of Missouri
College of Agriculture showed sew
eral animals reacting to tuberculin
tests applied by the Veterinary De-
partmcnt. The entire herd was test
ed in April, 1917, and pronounced en-
tirely free from the disease. For the
last fifteen years the test has been
applied annually according to the
most approved method and only once
before have any reacting animals been
found. This was five years ago when
two animals showed Indications of tu-
berculosis contracted, it was thought,
at the State Fair.
The source of the present infection
is not known as all animals on the
University grounds are tested regu-
larly and no cases have been found
before for several years. There is
not the slightest danger that any in
lection has been carried to those u.s.
ing dairy products from this herd
since all milk and cream sold, and all
cream used for buttermaking, have
been carefully pasteurized.
The infected animals all appear to
be in the best of health at the present
time but will be put out of the herd at
once as no animal, the health of which
is questioned in the least, is retained.
Fortunately a large number of young
animals are on hand and these will be
kept to replace the older animals
which have been remvoed.

ROAD WEEK PROGRAM
HELPS ROAD BUILDERS

The "Road Week" program prepar-
ed by the State Highway Department,
is hailed as a great benefit to road
builders in general. There are more
than 5000 road overseers in Missouri,
and these men are doing the best they
can with limited means to improve the
condition of the public roads. One Of
the principal difficulties is that road
overseers have not followed any def
mite or specific plan of grading earth
roads, putting in necessary culverts,
drains, bitches, etc. Road Week" at
the Kansas City meeting will provide
instruction for uniform type of road
work, from the grading of earth roads
to higher types of improvement. Ev-
eryone is invited to attend. Don't for
get the dates. February 81, 28 and
March 1; at the Muehlbach Hotel,

CHOOSE A WIFE WHO
KNOWS HOW TO BUY

There is whole lot of practical
wisdom in this advice given ocular
ly by Tim in Cartoons Magazine:
"a good housewife will look at least
two square meals ahead of her nose.
The modern SYSTEM of marketing dur
ing the high cost regime is such a
fine art that youth contemplating
mtarimony should HE to the market
place for selecting bride. MY boy,
when you see maiden pinching,
smelling and pricing soup bone, you
may rely on her sense of economy,
for she is looking forward not less
than'two meals. The soup bone, when
cooked, is merely food in the rough
or primitive state. Its choicest by
products are realized after the bouil-
lion stage. Thereafter comes the gou-
lash, the croquettes, and the luscious
hash.
"By all means avoid the girl who
orders choice cuts of porterhouse or
English mutton chops. She will make
you no good helpmate. But the girl
who selects the chuck and neck pieces
or the tail end of a ham bone and
renders them into dainty, palatable
dishes is the one you want. So take
my advice and seek the market place
when you feel that you have had your
fill of bachelor loneliness and wish a
taste Of wedlock. Follow such a girl
around until you are perfectly salts
fed, then nail her"

THE GOVERNMENT
AND THE FARMER

In his message of January 81 to the
farmers of America, President Will
son points out the great governmental
agencies and instrumentalities in the
field of agriculture.
Our Department of Agriculture, he
states, is the greatest practical and
scientific organization in the world
and its total annual budget of four to
six million dollars has been increased
during the last four years more than
~ per cent. Its staff numbers $4,000
and includes many highly trained ex-
perts. The agricultural colleges and
experiment stations of the country
have a total endowment of plant
equipment of $172,00G, 600 and an an
nual income of more than $35, 900, 900.
Ten thousand two hundred and seven
ty-one teachers with $4,000 students,
together with vast number receiv-
ing instruction at their homes, evil
dence what is being done in the way
of agricultural training, and to these
may be added the 255 men and wo-
men working under the Smith-Lever
Act.
The banking legislation of the last
two or three years, the President
shows, has given the farmers access
to the great lenable capital of the
country and through the Federal Re-
serve banking system and the Farm
Loan banking system farmers can OBJ
tain the credit, both short and long
term, to which they are entitled and
which it is imperatively necessary
should be extended to them to enable
them to perform adequately the tasks
the country now requires of them.
The President touches on another
aspect of the relations between the
farmers and the nation-"The toll,
the intelligence, the energy, the fore
sight, the self-sacrifice, and devotion
of the farmers of America will, be-
lieve, bring to a triumphant conclu-
sion this great war;"

OBTAIN CLEAN NURSERY STOCK

A very large acreage of fruit trees
will be set in Missouri this spring.
These trees will be secured largely
from nurseries within the State, while
some will be shipped in from nurseries
located in other States. 1t is very
important that these trees be free
from any injurious insect pest or
plant disease.
Every commercial nursery in Mis-
souri, was inspected last summer by
the Missouri Nursery Inspection Ser
vice and where the nursery stock was
found free from insect pests or plant
disease a nursery inspection certifi-
cate was issued.
Any one purchasing trees or other
plants should by all means make sure
that they were grown in certified
nursery and upon delivery the stock
should be carefully examined and if
it is not accompanied by certificate
of inspection, the Nursery Inspection
Service, Columbia, Mo-, should be no.
titled and the delivery rejected. By
this procedure there is no danger of
getting an infestation of San Jose
Scale or other injurious insect pest
or plant disease.
If a shipment of nursery stock is
obtained from without the State it
should bear a red Missouri permit
tag besides certificate of inspection
signed by the inspector of the State
from which the stock is obtained. The
success of an orchard depends large
ly upon the nursery stock from which
the orchard is started. Be sure to
obtain clean stock. 1t will mean a
tremendous saving in the end.

The Kaiser's Dream
ESTABLISHED IN 1851

There's CURRENT though strange may seem,
Of the German Emperors wonderful dream.
Being tired of war, he lay down in bed
And mongst other things he dreampt he dead
And in a deep coffin, lying in state
His cold waxen figure, frozen with hate; g.
lie wasn't long dead when he found to his loss
Ills map of the next world and passports he'd lost
So leaving this world, to Heaven he went straight
Jauntly strutting right up to the gate.
But a lookout angel in voice strong and clear
Said "Begone Kaiser Wilhelm, don't you here!"
"Wel" thought Wilhelm, "that's very uncivl;
Does he mea for me to go straight 10 the devil?
He turned on his heel and off he did go,
Running full speed to the regions below
But when he got there he filled with dsmay;
whilst waiting outside he heard Satan say
To his imps Now look here boys give full warning
I'm expecting the Kaiser down here this morning.
We are far too good for that mongrel down here
II he gets in there1l be the dickens pay
For bad as am, he's far any day"
ooh Satan, dear FRIEND" the Emperor CRIED
Please for listening while waiting outside
II you don't let me in, then where will go?"
Indeed" said the devil, II really don't know"
ooh do let in; I'm feeling quite cold,
II it's money you want, have plenty of gold;
Just give me corner, matter how hot!"
mo" said the devil, Most certainly mott
"We don't let apartments for riches pelf;
Heres matches and sulphur make hell for yourself"
Then he kicked Wilhelm out and vanished in smoke
And just at that moment the Kaiser awoke.
He jumped out of bed in a shivvering sweat
Ind sand "Gosh, that dream shall forget.
That won't go to heaven know very we'll,
But it's awful tough luck to get kicked out of hell"

A HINT TO THE AGED

If people past sixty years of age
could be persuaded to go to bed as
soon as they take cold and remain in
bed for one or two days, they would
recover much more quickly, especially
if they take Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. There would also be- less
danger of the cold being followed by
any Of the more serious diseases.
Obtainable everywhere. (adv.)

Tea Gown Adopted as Substitute for Usual DINNER Garment

The shoulders and arms arc draped
with scarfs OF thin lace or embroid-
cred chiffon. The drapery forms a
winged sleeve and Is caught in at the
wrist with a crystal bracelet.
No matter what other tidal wave OF
fashion rolls in from other shores,
there is constant flow of ideas from
China 70 this country. II is dificult
to get away from the celestial touch.
Now that this extraordinary FASH
ion for tea gowns. instead OF evening
gowns. has become a part of the
American social life. IL is no wonder
that Chinese embroidery. brocaded
slippers. jade bracelets to hold down
winged draperies and remarkable
Eirdles Of colored crystals and old
satin have been gleefully taken up
by those who are looking for inter
esting combinations in color and
fabric.
There are entire Chinese tea gowns
made for women OF fastidious and
cxacting taste. which are first cousins
TO the costumes worn in the old
Chinese plays. These gowns are en-
broidered In a gold dragon. they are
splashed with black. they have won
derful red satin Innings. and. taking
all in all. they are a BIZ too Unusual
to be given the background OF an
average house. They need something
exclusive.
1t is q big drop from such house
costumery to the simple and yet alto
gether lovely tea gowns that a woman
