STATE SHORTHORN
PICNIC BIG SUCCESS

About 500 people were present at
the State Shorthorn picnic at Girls
void Bros. farm at Livingston. A
very interesting day was spent. The
many speakers that were present
left very excellent thought and mes
sages.
Mr.. C. H. Baxter of Lancaster,
gave an excellent formula for sue
cess for the future. The simple
formula was namely; work, save and
pay. combined with industry, honesty,
and love Of humanity, and will prove
to be the only method OF success Tor
the future. and if followed out will
mean that with the beauty and pro
ductiveness of Grant county 1t will
make this county the greatest place
to live in the whole United States
Mr.. John Tormey, a we'll known
Grant county product gave much IN
terest and made the meeting an eX-
cellent one.
Mr.. C. P Norgood gave us some as
founding facts as to the tuberculosis
in the state We need to take heed
in the future to stamp out some OF
this disease or else Wisconsin cattle
and hogs will be Disseminated
against the markets.
He stated that packers come to our
legislature last winter and told them
about per cent of all Wisconsin
cattle were tubercular, and 80 per
cent of all hogs shipped from Wis
consin were found tubercular. With
these astounding facts we cannot
help but take notice and want to do
something to stop this great pest.
Mr.. Norgood explained how we can
eradicate this disease by the method
called the "area test. If 81 per cent
Of the farmers in Grant county would
sign petitions to the effect that they
want a county wide tubercular test
made of all the cattle, the state will
send in Veterinarians to make a
county wide test of every herd OF cat
tie in the county. This is entirely up
to the farmers. Those that have
thought about it feel that this should
be brought about as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
We need to take advantage OF this
opportunity and make use OF the state
law that makes this provision.

boat in the U. S. A. Even on the Hud-

lines the food is poor and badly
cooked and their staterooms do not
compare with those on the Nile
steamers. A similar comparison
could be made of the hotels along the
Nile and those in our own country.

pest of flies and one has to wear
veil or keep a~f1y switch in operation

TEA AND COFFEE ARE
BLAMED FOR CANCERS

LONDON.-The consumption of tea,
coffee and red wine is given by Prof.
John Jolly of Trinity college, Dublin,
as the cause of the increase in cancer
among humans.
Prof Jolly contends that these three
liquids develop the same effect on
human cell structure that a sedative
treatment has when applied too long
and tends first to stimulate cell divis-
ion, but ultimately to destroy the
cells.
The tannin in tea and caffeine in
coffee, Jolly asserts, are Is sensitizers,
and cause undue stimulation of the
process of cell division. THE whole

Will some Grant county farmers
write their ideas about this county
wide test. We need to discuss this
and learn its benefits in order to get
enough to sign these petitions to
make this possible.
Northern counties have taken adj
vantage of this and are using it Tor
advertising, which is bringing chem
lots of business as it is much easier
for them to sell livestock to outside
counties and states as they are le-
coming more careful about buying
cattle as they are very much afraid
of the terrible disease of tuberculosis.
Let us cooperate.
