prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture)
Minnesota, third In rank as dairy
state, has now definitely taken up the
area plan for the eradication Of bovine
tuberculosis. Counties, states, and the
United States Department OF Agricui-
ture are to cooperate In carrying ON
the work. Some time ago commit
tee Of breeders was appointed by the
state live stock sanitary board to In
yestigate plans for continuing the hight
against the disease. Recently the com
mittee met with the sanitary board
and resolution was unanimously
adopted asking the legislature for
$4,000 for area work for two years,
the work to be carried on in two coun-
ties. In addition, the legislature Is to
be asked for $5OO,OOO per annum for
two years for accredited-herd work.
The plan is approved by the state
veterinarian.
According to the plans laid out, 1t Is
proposed that the counties pay for the
testing Of the cattle at the rate OF 70
cents head. The fund resulting from
this charge will be used to pay the
inspectors, local, state and federal.
who are assigned to the work. In
IDENTITIES will be naid In the regular
way.
The three big dairy states-Wiscon-
sin, New York, and MinnesOta-are
now all taking up area work, which
has become the predominant plan for
the eradication Of the great cattle
plague. Some Of the states where the
infection is light are expecting to be
entirely rid Of the disease within a few
years.

letin 1888, shows the requirements in
each state. In some states rabbits may
be taken with dog, trap, or snare at any
time, but must not be shot during the
close season. In number Of states
having close season for rabbits the
laws permit farmers and fruit grow
ers to destroy the animals to protect
crops or trees.
Poisoned Bait Used.
Poisoned baits can be used to keep
down the numbers of rabbits where
domestic animals can be prevented
from gaining access to the poison.
Shooting for sport and using for meat,
however, Is preferable and will usual
ly hold the animals In check. Rabbit
proof fences can be profitably built
when the area to be protected Is not

on tree trunks, as well as different
mechanical contrivances to keep the
hungry animals from eating the bark
and glrdling the trees. Feeding rab-
bits in winter with winter prunings Of
apple trees or corn, cabbage, or tur-
nips has been practiced successfully In
some orchards, on the theory that 1t is
cheaper to feed than to fight them.

Heard Through FIFTY Feet.
In the Bruceton experiments sig
nails were heard distinctly through
fifty feet Of coal strata, although the
audibility fell Off rapidly as the dis
tance was increased The absorption
or loss of intensity with distance Is
very great for the short wave lengths
used In these tests. Longer wave
lengths are known to suffer less alb
sorption and may possibly be found
practically effective under certain con-
ditions.
In this connection 1t Is interesting
to note tests conducted by the United
States bureau Of standards In drop
ping wireless antennae down deep, un-
used oil wells to underlying rock
strata, In order to send the wireless
impulses through the rock instead of
through the air. The results, II Is be-
lleved, may be the same as projecting
the antennae upward into the air

The desirabillty of substituting the

the present telephone systems In use
In mines Is evident In considering that

wire connections, can put the entire
system out of order -
Present Phones Unsafe.
The mine telephone has been per

the wiring Is well insulated, the bu-

be depended upon on account Of falls

the event Of disaster 1t frequently
happens that the mine telephone sys-
tenn Is put out Of commission by the
agency that causes the disaster at the
very time when 1t Is most urgently
needed. On this account the mining
industry is Interested In any kind of
telephone system that can be counted
upon in an emergency. Many requests
have been received by the bureau Of
mines to devise means of utilizing
wireless methods for this purpose.
TIE preliminary experiments con-
sisted first In receiving signals from
without the mine by means of re-

SOY BEAN OF MUCH BENEFIT
Enables Farmer to Produce Hlgh-Pro-
tefn Concentrates at Home-Sup-
plements other Feeds.

Leguminous crops, such as cloyers
and alfalfas, are richer In protein
than non-leguminous crops, such an
timothy, bluegrass. etc. At present
leguminous crops are mostly grown
for forage, and when concentrates rich
In protein are needed to balance ra-
lions. they must b. purchased in the
form Of fiaxseed meal. cottonseed meal
or tankage.
The soy bean offers a partial solu-
tion to this problem by enabling the
farmer to produce his high-protein
concentrates at home. Soy beans yield
anywhere from 10 to 25 bushels an
acre Of seed, depending on soil and
season. Soy beans may be ground
and used to supplement other feeds.
