The press has recently carried a

Of Bellows Fails. 10 be shown in the
moving picture houses OF the state as
. part Of the campaign these gentle
men are waging against the present
plan Of graduating bovine tubercu-
losis in the state Of Vermont. Ac-
cording 10 the newspaper story the
picture carries,th.s statement in the
7 preface Five per cent Of the cattle
OF the State Of Vermont have been
tested and IL has cost the taxpayers
S1.650.000. and IL will cost at this
rate TO test the other s5 per cent
ss3. 000. 600.
The people OF Vermont who see
this statement should be advised that
Il is absolutely false.
Since 1895. when tuberculin test
ing began in the state, the entire ex-
pense OF maintaining the live stock
department of the state. including
indemnities for cattle killed as tuber-
culous, indemnities for tuberculous
beef. horses killed for CHAMBERS, and
the operating expenses OF the depart
ment has totaled sl.266, 427.44.
This figure is obtained after deduct
ing from the total amount expended
the salvage received from condemn
ed animals During this period there
have been tested 56S,043 head OF
cattle, or 1868 head more than
the total number credited to Yer
mont by the last census Therefore, |
instead OF testing five per cent OF our
cattle, as alleged by the Lovell-Pierce
statement. we have tested 100 per
cent II the accredited herds plan
had been in operation from the first,
and the herds tested had been defin-
itely tied up by contract to the live
stock department, under the present /
plan, | think | may safely say that
with the expenditure already made,
the cattle OF the state would now be
free from bovine tuberculosis.
Since the accredited plan was
adopted in 1917, up to July /, 1922,
69.7s3 head of cattle. or l6 per cent
OF our total number, have been
placed under supervision and the
test applied at an expense of $371,-
1854, or at cost OF 1871 per
head. This figure is higher than
normal because of the high value OF
cattle during the war period and the
heavy indemnity. Fifty
per cent of the purebred cattle OF the
state have now been tested and in
cluded in the above expense, but even
granting that it will cost 1881 per
head to the state to complete the
testing OF the remaining 1858
rattle, the expense would be, In
round numbers, $2,O00,00O instead
Of the s33,O00,000 named by the
Iovell-Pierce movie film
The people Of the state can draw
! fair conclusion from this misrepre-
,entation of the methods resorted TO
n the campaign to discredit the
present plan Of Graduating bovine

In one group for which figures have
been prepared were 100 cows classlhed
as small, POI as medium and 100 as large
The small cows averaged 243 pounds OF
butter fat a year, and made an income
of 77.39 over the cost of feed. Those OF
medium size made 2S9 pounds of butter
fat and an income of 1891 over feed cost;
The large cows produced 345 pounds OF
butter fat and return above feed cost
of 1854.
In another group were 46l small cows,
1873 classed as medium, and 326 large.
Those in the first classification made
24O pounds of butter fat on an average
and an income OF S9.ll over cost of feed.
The mediums made 278 pounds Of butter
fat and 10000 over feed cost. The large
ones produced 299 pounds of butter fat
and an income of l0S29 over feed cost.
These tables were based mostly on
figures for the years 1916 to 1919, IN

average income over cost of feed.

STAINED LEATHER CLEANSER.
Federal Chemistry Bureau Announces
Method 1t Has Evolved.

Leather goods that have been made
unsightly with grease spots and that
cannot be cleaned by ordinary cleaning
solutions often can be restored through
methods developed by the bureau of
chemistry OF the United States depart
ment Of agriculture. When shoes, trav-
cling bags and similar articles come in
contact with butter, lard vaseline. lin
seed oil, salad oil. lubricating oil or
anything of the same sort, ugly stains
are produced, especially, if the leather is
of a light color. Attempts to remove
stains with gasoline or other ordinary
grease solvents result in spreading
them.
The method recommended by the de-
partment consists in coating the spots
with a thick solution of rubber in a sol
vent that evaporates readily and peel
ing off the coating when it is almost
dry. In some instances it may be neces-
Sary to repeat the operation several
times.
4 solution of unvulcanized rubber
para or Ceylon) in carbon bisulphide,
in the proportion of one part to 10 parts
by weight, as well as some of the pre-
pared rubber cements, has been found
satisfactory. 1t is important that the
cement be very thick and quick drying,
and pure solvent. Since the fumes of
carbon bisulphide are very inflammable
and poisonous. it is necessary to work
away from flames and where there is
good ventilation. To keep the rubber
from adhering too tightly the leather i'm.
mediately around the spot may be wei
Slightly just before applying the rubber
solution.
Milk produces spots on leather on &C
count of the fat it contains. In addi
ton, it often leaves a white residue
and sometimes a dark stain. The white
residue may be removed with soap anC
water, but no way is known for taking
out the brown stain. The only way Il
improve the appearance of leather 81
| damaged is to dye it darker than the
| original color.
Any oil or grease spot should be re
moved as soon as possible. 1t is es
| pecially important that spots caused BY
| linseed and other paint oils be removed
| before the oil dries, since the Oxidizet
oils are only slightly soluble in tho
| liquids ordinarily used.

The camp site is located in an attrac-

There also is an excellent swimming

a natural camp site as shown by the fact
that already one camper, Chief White

STOCKHOLM, May 15-A speed-up

adopted by the Swedish government,
which is headed by Premier Branting,
Socialist leader.
In keeping with this policy. special

The committee proposes that the gov

take over three saw mills in northern
Sweden and that the state domains

business enterprises, be authorized to
build new saw mills in different parts
Of the country where the government

MORE PROFIT IN BIG cows.
Statisticians Confirm Conclusions oI
Federal Study.

Figures collected from various cow
testing associations throughout the coun-
try and compiled by the United States
department of agriculture tend to con
firm conclusions of the department that,
within the breeds. so far as they were
represented by these animals, which
were mostly grades, the large COWS are
the biggest producers of dairy products
and are also the most profitable. The
evidence seems to show that in the in
dividual farmers herd it will be found
that as an average the larger cows are
more profitable than the smaller ones,
although there are indications that this
may not hold true in the case of herds
of native cattle containing much beef
blood.
