In this same building was an ex-
hibit by the Smith Monument Works
of Jamestown.
The North Dakota Tract Society Of
the Seventh Day Adventists had a
booth filled with Bibles and litera-
ture.
Veterinary Medicine.
One OF the most interesting ex-
hibits was that of the agricultural
college school of veterinary medi-
cine in charge of DR.. McMahan. Mt
merous exhibits of tubercular condi-
tions in both the human and animal
tissues were displayed in glass cases.
Tubercular liver and gizzards of
chickens, oxen and the lungs of hui
man beings were shown. Glanders,
cholera and blackleg, the larvae of
the bott fly or nose fly whose eggs de-
posted on the lips of the horse,
hatch into tiny bots are swallowed
and after remaining 10 months in
the animals intestines pass out and
in from three to nine weeks hatcn
into the nose fly.
Specimens of ring bone, side bone
in ho0fs Off horses, SPAWN were
shown. The object of the exhibit
was to create an interest in the pre-
vention of the various diseases by
sanitation and other means. The
booth had various kinds of printed
matter, for free distribution, rene
dies and treatment for the diseases
shown. The control Of animal dis
ease is easier than the cure.
FARM BUREAU BOOTH.
County Agent Goodman has a
booth with exhibits of grasses, rota
tion directions, such as corn wheat,
clover, flax and oats. Reasons for
same; samples of wilt proof flax
raised on old ground; D-5 wheat,
with clean bright stalks, and the Ku
banka Durum for which orders for
seed at $3.50 bushel' will be taken.
The work of the county agent is ex
panding, as new conditions arise.
The full value Of the grass wealth
of this county and other counties in
the state is not yet realized. Isaiah
XII says "All flesh is grass" an
ancient and trite saying that is taxi
ing on a new meaning as the value
of natures grass mantle over the
earth is better realized. Grass fur
nishes the chief nourishment of all
animal life, is our surest crop ana
the most neglected. Diversified
farming is safe farming.
The county agent and the agricul-
ture college, are trying to bring these
matters more directly home to the
farmer, who is losing his time and
money in grain alone.
Cattlo Pens.
