Workmen Near Bsbee, Ariz., Are
Trying a New Venture in
Copper Mining.

For some time past, it seems, work
men near Bisbee, in Arizona, have
been trying new venture in copper
mining. Instead of following the pre-
scribed method of following out a
mountain and using shafts and tun-
nels, they dig it down with seam
shovels and cart it away. One can
form some idea Of the magniture of
the task when he learns that it will
take more than sixteen years to COM
plete it, that during the process ap-
proximately 25,OOO,O00 tons of copper
ore will be carted away, and that from
It something like a billion pounds Of
copper will be extracted.
During the five years the work has
been carried on five million cubic
yards or more of material have been
taken from the mountain, though that
amount does not represent pure ore.
AS fast as the material is dug it is
hauled over a ffteep-mile railway to
shelters and mills, where it is treated.
An engineer humorously remarks
that when the huge pile is gone there
will be room for the town to grow.

Twin Brother to 7. B.
Cause Of Cattle Los


sThe twin brother to tuberculosis"
is one Of the names given by veteri-
narians to fatal disease which causes
havoc in any herd where it gains en-
trance.
This disease, also called Johne's
disease, and resembling tuberculosis
somewhat in symptoms and effects, is
not a new one but has often been
confused with tuberculosis, so has but
recently been credited with the seri-
BUSINESS that it deserves. Herds in
dairy states are menaced if this twin
brother to T. B. once gets its hold on
a dairy animal.
1T is believed that once Johne's
disease gets under way in the animal
death is certain to result from it,
says B. A. Beach, veterinarian at the
Wisconsin College of Agriculture.
1.-THE annual loss in Wisconsin so far
reported may run as high as II per
cent in badly infected herds. The
disease is a contagious one and pur-
chase from an infected herd is usually
the origin of the trouble in other herds.
Another bad feature of this disease
is that it generally affects only young
heifers. Because Of this tendency to
affect the most valuable stock and be-
cause its spread is SO rapid, this dis
ease is worse than tuberculosis"
Symptoms of Johne's disease show
about six months after the germs Of
infection gain entrance to the body.
Immediately after calying is when the
infected animals are most apt to show
the symptoms.

skeletons Diarrhea occurs at inter
walls and the milk flow is greatly re-
duced and finally stops. The disease,
which is contracted through the mouth
in feeding yards, can be detected by
the Johnin test, which according to Mr..
Hastings, head of the bacteriology de
partment at the experiment station, is
similar to the tuberculosis test.
"That much can be DONE" says Mr..
Hastings, through the use Of this

Heirs to Peerages

Some four hundred British peerages
are extinct, of which 120 have lapsed
since 1900. Five went last year
through the demise without successors
of Lords Ludlow. Bryce. Northcliffe,
Breadalbane and Lindley. This year
there are four so far, being the bar
onies of Seaforth, Weardale, Sander

revived which were long dormant. The

Sheep require salt and it should be
available at all times, for an irregular
supply induces overeating Of the salt,
which causes scours. Rather than linn
iting the supply of salt or of mixing it
with their feed, it is best to let sheep
eat as much as they wish.
Steers fed succulent feeds usually

what the politicians say is extreme
wisdom the President has RETAINED
from expressing any preference.
1t is practically decided that the
next Republican national convention
is TO be held in the city Of Chicago.
It. is known. that a majority of the
members of the national committee
will favor Chicago. This settles the
matter in advance. In the case OF
the Democrats there are several "fav-
sorite city" cliques and just which ONT
will win its case no one yet knows.
In little more than two months Re-
publican and Democratic national COM
mittees will meet in Washington to de-
eide the question Of convention cities
Even if it is a foregone conclusion
that one city is to be chosen. repre-
sentatives of other cities will come
here to present their claims for pref
erence. This always is done. It gives
each city chance through its mayor
or the chairman of it's chamber OF
commerce to set forth the allurements
of the home town and, moreover, 1t
makes for General contentment when

Through a
Sieve Woven
Fines. Than
Silk

Raw materials Of which portland
cement is made come out OF the
ground usually as solid rock.
They must first be crushed,
ground and reground until at least
IS per cent Of the resulting powder
will shake through sieve that will
actually hold water.
This sieve is considerably finer
than the finest silk fabric. 1t has
200 hair-like bronze wires to the
inch. That means 10000 holes to
the square inch.
But the several crushings and
grindings necessary to reduce solid
rock to this extreme fneness are
only the beginning Of cement
making.
The powdered materials must then be sub
jected to intense heat for several hours in
huge rotary kilns Here they are half melted
and become substance much harder than
the original rock -clinker, it is called.
Then the clinker must be crushed and
ground until at least 78 per cent Of the result
ing product will pass through the sieve woven
finer than silk. This is portland cement.
More than 80 power and fuel consuming
operations are necessary in cement making
The electric power alone used in producing
barrel Of portland cement would, il pur-
chased at usual household rates, cost $1.7O.

Hard TASK for One Committee.

Hard Task for One Committee.
1t probably is generally believed
that the committee of arrangements
for national convention is the hard
est worked body which has anything
to do with the gatherings. If, how
ever, the chairman of the standing
committee of correspondents of the
Washington body Of newspaper writer's
were to be consulted, he doubtless
would say that his committee is the
one which works harder than any
other committee in making prepara-
tons for national conventions.
The standing committee of CORE
spondents not only has to do it's work
for one convention, but for both, and
the work done for one cannot stand as
the work done for the other. In the
committees hands is placed the re-
sponsibility for assigning the press
seats in the convention hail. The
committee is not allowed to play fav-
orites and yet if it escapes without
forty charges of favoritism it considers
itself lucky.
Convention halls in different cities
are various in their seating arrange
ments and they vary in their holding
capacities. This is the reason that
the standing committees work for one
convention cannot stand as the work
for a second convention. Conditions
are different and the committees la
Dor is doubled.
Every fourth year about two weeks
before a convention meets, James D.
Preston, superintendent of the senate
press gallery, acting under authority
of the standing committee of CORE
spondents of the national party meets,
goes to the convention cities, one af-
ter the other, to make it certain that
the press facilities are what they
should be. Preston has been at this
work for something like thirty years
and he knows how to do it.
Correspondents Must Be Served.
The Washington correspondents and
political writer's elsewhere throughout
the country have heard complaints
time and again from visitors to the
conventions that the representatives of
the press take UP too much room.
The answer to this always has been
and still is that the press represents
millions of Americans who cannot at
tend the convention and that their in
terests must be served just as well
certainly as the interests of the few
thousands of visitors who can crowd
their way into the convention hall.
At the last national conventions

IMPORTANCE OF ERADICATION
OF BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
BY W. j. BUTLER, State Veterinarian.

AS far back as 1908 the United
States bureau of animal industry es-
timated that the loss in meat from
animals condemned for tuberculosis
at packing houses amounted to 49,
832,435 annually. They also estim-
ated that breeding animals suffering
from tuberculosis deprecated S.
049,889 per, annum, and that the loss
in our milk supply was over 100000
600 pei annum on account of this
disease. The loss in calves amounted
to several more millions, making an
annual loss in 1908 of over $23, 000,-
The Kevin review. [volume] (Kevin, Mont.) 1922-1929, 1923-02-08

600 per annum from bovine tubercu.
losis. In 1917, which was the year
the United States government took
active steps to cooperate with the
various states in the eradication OF
bovine tuberculosis, the losses had
reached their peak. In that year
there were 218,928 cattle found to
be suffering from tuberculosis upon
post mortem inspection at slaughter
houses where federal inspection was
maintained. The same year $685.
1853 head of swine were found at
these same packing houses to be suf-
fering from tuberculosis. Out of this
number 46,351 cattle and 76,807
hogs or Sc train loads Of cattle and
hogs of 40 cars each, a total of 2,240
cars, were unfit for food, because of
the entire carcass being condemned.
1t also means that 500 train loads
of high priced feed were fed to these
animals and wasted.
These figures are staggering, but
they are authentic. These figures
are from plants where federal post
norton inspection is maintained and
do not include plants where there is
no federal inspection.
Montana stands in the lead as a
state in it's record of bovine tubercu-
losis eradication. In 1911 this work
was started and at that time the
grand average throughout the State
of Montana showed 1868 per cent
of the cattle tested were tu%berculer.
From December 1, 1921, to November
80, 1922, in cooperation with the
United States Bureau of Animal In
dustry, we tuberculin tested 122,421l
cattle and found but nine-tenths of
one per cent of the animals tested
YER tuberculous. We paid out in
indemnity for t~uberculous animals
this period s~2O,229.S8, while
the 1922 fiscal year the state
of New York expended in this work
approximately $1,800,000 in testing
106,826 cattle. The saving that has
been made to the stock industry by
the work of the Montana livestock
sanitary board in it's work of bovine
tuberculosis eradication alone is in
The benefits of this work cannot
be estimated. We can tell you the
amount of money that we spend in
field work and in indemnity, but the
amount of money that accrues to the
'tockman by reason of the reputation
hat has been established as to the
health of Montana cattle Is what can
lot be estimated. A few years ago
was talking to the cattle buyer for
me Of our largest packers and he
aid to me that all other things be-
ng equal be was willing to give lust
little more for Montana cattle than
or any other cattle as the percentage
f disease in our cattle was less than
n those supplied by other states.
I was advised also a few years ago
y the livestock commissioner of the
rational Stockyards in Chicago that
he only two states whose cattle on
ost mortem showed a reduction over
ondemnations of previous years were
