DAIRY
HINTS
REDUCE EXTENT OF DISEASE
Testing Cattle for tuberculosis and
Cleaning Up Infected Herds
Having Effect.

(rrepared by the United States Department
Of Agricuture)
That testing cattle for tuberculosis
and the cleaning up Of infected herds
are having permanent effect In re-
ducing the extent of the disease is
shown cOnclusively by figures recently
collected by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture from inspectors
In charge Of the eradication work in
various parts Of the country. The in
spectors were asked to supply figures
on the results Of three or more tests
on badly diseased herds, those that
had not less than 10 per cent Of re-
actors on the first test. The first test
on more than $1,000 cattle in these
bad herds showed that 20 per cent
had tuberculosis. Another test six
months later on the same herds, from
which the reactors had been removed
ease. By another six months the per-
centage had gone down to 2.8. A
fourth test on more than 25,OOO of
these cattle showed only 1.8 per cent
Of tuberculosis.
The reports from which these fig
ures were taken show that under nor
NAL conditions herds very badly dis
eased may be established as relative
ly free in short time. They also
show that eradication work can be
carried on without destroying the cat
tie industry as is sometimes thought
Erratic results were obtained on a
very few of the 1882 herds tested, the
list Of this class containing less than
100. Out of the 126.66S herds under

COWS REQUIRE MUCH WATER
It Should Be 20 Degrees Above Freez.
Ing Point and Same Temperature
Every Day.

During the winter, when cows are
stabbed the greater part Of the time,
they should be watered two or three
times day, say specialists Of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, unless arrangements have been
made to keep water before them at all
times. The water should, If possible,
be Is degrees or 20 degrees above the
freezing point, and should be supplied
at practically the same temperature
every day. When water well above
freezing temperature is stored in tanks
and piped directly to the COW, there
is probably little occasion for facili-
ties to warm 1t. When it stands in
q tank on which ice often forms, 1t
usually pays well to warm 1t slightly.
This can be done by tank heater,
by live steam, or by hot water from
boiler. If boiler is used for run
ming a separator or for heating water
to wash and sterilize utensils, steam
from it can readily and cheaply be
used to warm the water.

3 men KILLED BY
BOMB IN bUNKH0USE
Miners Asleep When Explosion
ACQUIRED Near Apollo, Pa.
ANOTHER, INJURED, MAY DIE
Victims Had Been Employed On A
Non-Union Basis Since The Coal
Strike Began-oId Army
Bomb.

Apollo, Pa. - Three miners were
killed and one probably fatally injured
when bomb was thrown into a bunk
house at the Patterson mine of the
Kiski Coal Company, near here.
The men, who had been employed on
a non-union basis after the coal strike
was called April l, were asleep in the
bunkhouse shortly after dawn when
the explosion occurred.
Stanley Meilke, Andrew Borniak and
Frank Ridgaki were instantly killed.
and Frank Cogaski so badly hurt by a
steel splinter from the bomb that hos
pital doctors said he might not re-
cover.
All of the dead men were married
and their deaths make IA children
fatherless.
The Patterson mine is in Westmore-
land county, across the Kiskiminetas
river from Apollo. Before the strike
it employed rs men, its product being
sent to steel company here.
Seven miners were asleep in the
bunkhouse which had been erected
a few days ago, after they had COM
planned to the management that pick
cts were stopping them on the road.
They were asleep, when, according
to the authorities, they were awaken
ed by crashing glass, and in the dark
ness saw the sputtering end of fuse.
Meilke, who was the first out of bed,
caught up the bomb and it exploded in
his arms, also killing two of his COM
panions who had jumped to his side.
The explosion was heard in Apollo,
and scores Of persons fastened across
the river to the ruins of the bunk
house. State policemen were sum-
moned from Leechburg, and blood
hounds were brought from Kittanning.
They found soon after their arrival
that the bomb had been made from
an old army shell stolen from foun-
dry in Vandergrift.
The survivors were unable to tell
a connected story, and Dan Rowan,
night watchman, was in another part
Of the property when the bomb was
thrown. The authorities hold to the
theory that the attackers hid in the
vicinity of the bunkhouse until the
watchman had made his 3 o'clock
round.

CREAMERY TAKES SAFE MILK
Vermont Association Accepts Product
Only From Herds That Have
Been Tested.

Increasing interest in the tuberculin
testing Of cattle is evident from re-
ports received by the United States
Department Of Agriculture from many
parts Of the country. This tendency
applies not only to milk used directly,
but to manufactured dairy products.
A cooperative creamery association
at Barre, VT, accepts milk and cream
only from herds that have been tuber-
culin tested under federal and state
supervision.
The products of the associations
dairy plant are butter, cheese, ice
cream, milk and cream, the products
being sold both wholesale and re-
tail. Specialists in the bureau of
animal industry regard the increasing
interest in tuberculosis eradication as
an important development in the dairy
manufacturing industry.

Prince Otto, de Jure King of Hungary

With the death Of Charles. former
emperor Of Austria and King Of Hun
gary, little Archduke Otto, by Hun
garian law Of primogeniture, has now
become de jure king Of Hungary. But
he will not be regarded as entitled
to the allegiance Of his Magyar fel-
low countrymen as such until crowned
and consecrated in accordance with
time-honored ceremony, at Budapest.
If the great powers and the adjacent
nations waive their heretofore pro-
nounced opposition to the presence Of
a Hapsburg on the throne Of Hun
gary, in that event the youngster
might be crowned and consecrated.
Just whether in that case these pow
ers concerned would allow either the
now widowed Queen Zita or her broth
er-in-law, Archduke Macmillan, to as
sumo the regency is matter Of con-
lecture.
Possibly they might wish Admiral
Horthy to remain on as regent for an
other six or eight years to come-that
future will depend not on the Magyars

PLAN CITY IMPROVEMENTS
Six Essential Points Emphasized by
City EIanrer. RarfhoIornerz

Six Essential Points Emphasized by
City PIanner Bartholomew.
Six essential points must be consid-
cred in city planning, according to
Harold Bartholomew, expert city
planner, who has been assisting the
Topeka planning commission in out
lining improvements for Topeka. The
essential points as enumerated by
Bartholomew are: Street system,
transportation, transit line, recreation,
coming and general appearance.
Regarding the street system, Mr..
Bartholomew said every city should
have a major street plan, which would
include the business section and chief
lines of thorofare, and a minor plan,
to include the residence district. His
first essential to an ideal major plan
is wide streets. Speaking of Topeka,
he said Kansas avenue, Topeka's main
street, is one of the widest in the
United States.
On transportation, he said every
minal facilities He advised a union
station for Topeka. He stated that
for smaller towns, elimination of bad
crossings is the greatest consideration
in the transportation problem.
He stated every city that has street
be easily accessible from every part
of the city.
Recreation he classed as one of the
most important phases of city plan
ming. He advised a system of parks
connected with boulevards. Included
in this work would be Fairgrounds for
children and these should be planned
according to the density of popula-
ton.
Mr.. Bartholomew explained coming
as the grouping of residence, indus
trial and commercial districts, so that
all factories would be confined to one
section. etc. He said this is one of
the fundamental essentials for prog
ress and growth of a city.
THE growth of a city or town de-
Ponds entirely upon the interest that
each citizen manifests in the town.
Bartholomew said, describing the last
essential-general appearance. He
urged a greater interest on the part
of residents in city improvement.
