Farmers Institute.

Those in charge Of the Farmers
Institute have secured very strong
program for this season. The farm
era in Delaware county should assist
the management to the extent Of CIV
ing their patronage for the full three
DAYS and also their financial assist
ance. It costs money to secure speak
ers and entertainment. The Institute
is filling place in the community as
a social center and should be fostered.
We on the farms have neglected the
social side of our farm life too often
for after all the massing of few dol
lars is not our purpose in life. 1t Is
the friends we make and the expert
ence that we pass unto others that Is
the measure of our existence.
We understand that liberal orer
Is made for the grain exhibits. We
trust that every farmer will do MS
part in making this the greatest grain
show ever witnessed in Delaware
county. Begin today to select that
ten ear or thirty ear sample of corn
and to fan up some of the small grain.
Let's show other people what can De
produced in this county.
Swine tuberculosis.
DO you know what tuberculosis in
swine is costing the farmers IN Deia--
ware county each year?
The County Agent recently looked
into this matter and secured definite
figures from packing companies
These figures indicate that out Of
1884 hogs killed, 42,749 or 25.4 per
cent were retained by the inspector
because of tuberculosis and 1868 hogs
were condemned for tankage. p
This represents 2.12 per cent. The
cost per hog on the basis of the num-
Der OF animals which were discarded
during this period was 32.2c or prac-
tically 1880 per hundred weight. In
other words farmers in Delaware
county are being docked on the mark
ct 13hc for ever hundred pound hog
which they sell because of tabercu-
losis.
In nine counties In Iowa this cost
Is &c per hundred weight. These
counties are in the dairy section Of
northeastern Iowa. This means that
tuberculosis has been spread largely
through the use of milk from the dairy
herds. When we consider the number
Of hogs that are shipped from Della
ware county each year and determine
the penalty which Is being exacted
we would find it cheaper to test the
herds and get rid of tuberculosis now
and forever. The government Is try
ing to assist the farmers in every way
possible from the standpoint of i'm
pOrtation, by requiring very rigid
test for tuberculosis, and any animal
that shows tuberculosis can not be
shipped interstate. .t..
That tuberculosis in hogs is largely
confined to the dairy districts is again
proved by securing figures from pack
ing companies located in western
states, where dairying is comparative
ly limited. For example, in Oklahoma
the penalty does not average over 1c

A Good LAUGH.

A "good laugh" is not quite the same
thing as a hearty laugh. Occasionally
you may have seen young people con-
vulsed with laughter over something
that meant suffering and disaster to
another. Many laugh has been raised
by an unclean suggestion. But 1t Is
q good laugh" that has no hint Of I'M
purity or unkindness.. --. -

At some future date the Farm Blu

this disease. If you have dairy hero

see the County Agent and talk over
the matter. Various herds are being

NEW YORK CITY'S
ARCH OF TRIUMPH
The Triumph of Democracy to Be
Erected at Entrance Of Fifth
Avenue.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-The details of
the temporary arch of triumph which the
city of New York will erect as an express
sion of the peoples appreciation of re-
turning troops who viii march in the vic
tory parade were made public yesterday
by Thomas Hastings, of Carrere & Hast
ings, the designers. The arch will stand
on the wide space west of Madison
Square Park and will form an entrance
to Fifth avenue northward, as the Wash
ington arch does in Washington square
further south Whether a permanent
memorial, the plans for which are now
being made, will be located in the same
spot at Madison square, has not been de-
termined.
1T should first be understood" Mr..
Hastings said, that this arch is merely
a temporary one. Before any decision
is made regarding the permanent mem
orial to our brave men, it has been agreed
that a free and general expression of
opinion should be made by all of the art
societies of the city, as well as other So
cieties interested in the project. To give
permanent memorial to so great an event
as the victory is serious matter"
The q,ladriga on top of the arch will be
executed by Paul Bartlett, assisted by the
Piccirilli brothers. The triumph of de
mocracy will be the motif, and will be
depicted by chariot drawn by six horses
