The regulation prohibiting, after
July I, 1919. the interstate movement
OF cattle for breeding or dairy pur-
poses unless they are properly tuber-
culin-tested, will prove to be a long
step toward the control of tuberculo-
sis and Its eventual eradication in this
country, according to officials of the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture. II supplements and strengthens
state regulations on this subject.
The object Of the regulation is spe-
clfically to prevent the interstate ship
ment of diseased animals to cattle
breeders or dairymen who are trying
TO drive out or keep tuberculosis from
their herds. Cattle consigned TO a pub
lie stockyard, and steers and strictly
range cattle may be moved interstate
without restriction under the new
regulation.
Copies of the regulation, which has
been issued by the secretary of agrl-
culture and is known as regulation
seven of bureau of animal industry or
der 263, are being printed, and will be
available soon for cattle owners, deal
ers, veterinarians and others who may
desire them.
The regulation of interstate move
ment of cattle follows the same prin-
clple used successfully In the control
of other animal diseases, and has been
recommended to the department of
agriculture by many cattle owners as
an essential part of the campaign
against tuberculosis, which is now get
ting well underway, and in which the
federal government and AZ states are
cooperating.
What Cattle May BE Moved.
Cattle known to be tubercular may
be moved interctate for immediate
slaughter under federal inspection.
They must be marked for identified
ion; must be accompanied by a GER
iiticate showing their condition, that
they may be shipped interstate, and
the purpose for which they are
shipped; transportation companies
must Identify the cattle as tubercular

MANURE IN CROP ROTATIONS
Increased Yields Secured In Expert.
ments at West Virginia and Ohio
Experiment Stations.

The agricultural value Of manure
usually is greater than the plant-food
value. For example, the application
OF 125s tons of manure year for Is
years at the West Virginia expert
ment station gave increased crop
Yields valued at $40 an acre year, or
1912 a ton for the manure used. Dur
ing Il period Of ten years the Ohio ex-
pertinent station has obtained an in
crease of crops valued at $4.69 ton
for the manure used. The application
was made at the rate of eight tons Of
manure an acre during five-year ro-
tation of corn, wheat. oats, clover and
timothy. Two applications of four tons
each were made, one for corn and one
FOR clover. Manure used In connection
with continuous grain cropping did not
maintain the yields, but when used In
connection With crop rotation the
Yields Of all crops were increased.

SKILLFUL IN USE OF POISON
south African Bushn1en Had Weapon
Which in Other Hands Might
Have Been Invincible.

The bushmen, Africa's pygmies OF
the South, who succumbed so quickly
to civilization, are becoming rarer
every day. Famine, wars and the white
mans encroachments have killed off
thousands.
The one great achievement of these
children Of the woods is their skillful
use OF poisons. In the hands of more
subtle people the poisoned arrow might
have been an invincible weapon but
Tor the bushman it only delayed iney-
table defeat.
The bushman's arrow is q toy OF

certain death dealer by covering the
tip with one of his favorite poisons.
