TESTING FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Editor Askov American:

Editor Askov American:
AS we have just started in this
community to test cattle for tu-
berculosis. | should like to write
a few words about same. While
it hits a few rather hard we
should not stop before all cattle
in the community are tested.
Might mention that in Chisago
county one farmer lost 80 cattle
out of his herd Of 81. Stop and
think. If you knew that you had
tubercular cattle, would you give
the milk to your babies or even
drink it yourselfl One reason
you should all sign up now is that
| believe the time will soon come
when we shall be forced to test
and will then not receive any
pay for cattle except what the
carcas viii bring at the slaughter
house.
Last week there were tested
l.0i6 head from 81 herds and %
head were condemned. Another
list is left at the bank for you to
sign up on. and I think we can
get them to come here again to
test in about three or four
months. No charges made. All
OF you who have had tested
should urge ncighbors to do like

SANDSTONE ROUND
HOUSE TORN DOWN

Sounds coming from the south
part of town for the past few
days might indicate that someone
was bombarding the town or
that the big game hunting season
was on, but an investigation
would reveal the fact that the
noise came from the old G. N.
round house where the Willcuts
Construction Co. is doing a little
destruction by taking down the
stone walls on that part of the
building which has not been used
for many years. Several charges
of dynamite is used at time to
topple over sections of the wall
and then the stone blocks are
being loaded onto cars for ship
ment to Superior. Since the ad-
vent of the larger engines. more
and more of the freight trains
have run straight through with
out tieing up here and only four
of the stalls are now needed to
care for the engines which turn
here. This large round house has
stood at the south end of Main
avenue ever since the village was
started. and it will seem very
queer not to see it there. The
building made it necessary to
make a dangerous curve in the
road at this point, and now that
the protruding part is taken
down it may be possible TO put
the road straight through, which
would be great improvement in
this day of rapidly moving auto

FROM OVER COUNTY
by w. y. HAMMARGREN
County Agent.

During the past month the egg
marketing has taken nine and
one-half days of the County
Agents time. Twenty-three eve
ming meetings have been held
throughout the county where the
egg marketing or the proposed
Egg Marketing Association has
been discussed.
Fifty-seven farm visits have
been made. Fifty-five of these
where the Agent tested soil in
preparation for raising alfalfa
another year. This is continu-
ance of the alfalfa campaign
started last winter. The total at
tendance at all the meetings held
in the county during the past
month was 1,485 which proves
that considerable interest is
shown in the work.
Achievement day held at
Hinckley by the clothing project
club was very we'll attended.
This is the first project finished
since the extension work started
in the county last fall and we
feel that the women have done
very well. We have several re-
quests for the continuance Of this
work but are sorry to state that
due to the requests in many
other counties where there has
been no work done it will be inn

Error in Press Message
Sent u. S. S. Maine to Cuba

The story Of the cause of the Span
ish-American war, as told by Walter
Scott Meriwether Of Mississippi, who
was newspaper correspondent at
Havana when the war was declared,
Is contrary to all others.
Most histories say the Maine was
sent to Havana as an mtimation that
the Americans In Cuba would be pro-
tected by their government. But Meri-
wether claims the Maine was sent be-
cause Of a mislnterpreted cable mes
sage which newspaper correspondent
In Havana sent to his paper In New
York.
As the new story goes, John X.
Caldwell wanted his paper 10 send
him a revolver from New York, the
sale Of firearms being banned In Ha-
vana. The revolver came without am
munltion, so the correspondent de.
cided TO cable for some. AS his mes.
sage had TO pass the censors, he
wrote: Camera arrived but no plates
Please hurry by next steamer"
An assistant editor received the
message, but knowing nothing of the
sending OF the revolver, understood II
to imply more than was said, because
Caldwell's full name was signed. With
the aid OF a code book the editor de-
ciphered the message to mean that
the American consulate In Havana
had been attacked.
The message was received about
$50 p. IN. and, as soon as declphered,
Official Washington was notified. BY
midnight the Maine was under orders
to proceed Immediately to Havana
harbor on January "a. 1898. and was
blown up and sent to the bottom Feb

The Murray County Herald
sings the praise Of the horse for

Only Merchant to Ran
State Park on the Side

George A. Bieber Is probably the
only hardware dealer In the world
who runs a state park and has fort
on his hands, as a side line to sue
cessful business In selling nails. kitch-
enware and stoves. hatchets, lawn
mowers, and the like.
For thirty nine years Mr.. Bieber has
been active, day In and day out, as the
proprietor Of a busy hardware store at
Fort Atkinson, Iowa.
But all this time, up on the hill over
looking his store and the town Of Fort
Atkinson, have been the stone build
lngs Of famous old military stock
ade, built by the government to pro-
tect the Winnebagoes from the attacks
Of their Indian enemies, the Sioux to
the north and the Foxes and Sacs to
the south.
The fort, the only one ever built In
the United States for the protection OF
the red man, was vacated In 1S4S
when the Winnebagoes were moved to
MankatO, MINI. Ever since. until two
years ago, the buildings ana paraue
grounds have been deserted except
when farm animals internationally in
habited them. But the creation OF a
state park board and the appropria-
ton Of annual moneys for the pur-
chase and maintenance Of parks In
Iowa gave Mr.. Blsber an idea. He
quickly organized and set on foot a
movement TO have the old fort and
grounds bought by the state and
turned into a public park.
In looking around for a custodian,
the state park board considered Mr..
Bieber by all odds the best man for
the Job. He accepted the post on a
no-salary basis, just for the love Of the
work, and custodian he still is today.

like to state that any ladies that
would like to have this work done
should make the request known
to the County Agents Office and
we will try to locate some local
leader to help you out.
Doctor Taylor, federal Veteri-
marian from st. Paul, has spent
considerable time in this county
during the past month. This is
continuance of the work start
ed by the Farm Bureau last fall
in trying to clean up the t. b. in
this county. There has been over
one hundred herds tested the
past month-over 1,5O0 head.
The number of re-acters at this
writing is not known. Any one
interested in this work should
write the County Agents office
at once and get in line to have
your cows tested. One herd test
ed by DIR. Christensen of Hinck-
ley, was found to have more than
1870 re-acters. This is enough to
show that the work is necessary.

Askov American will ascertain
where the mistake was made. and
correct it.
Dear children of the first
grade. il you must give honor
give it to the people to whom it
is due. This great nation of
which we are all extremely
proud, owes the creation Of an
interest in forestry, in the care
and perpetuation Of our trees. to
such great men as Mr.. Fernow,
Col. II. S. Graves, Mr.. Clifford
Pinchot. and Col. Greeley, our
present forester Of the United
States. Many were the Difficult
ties these men encountered in
trying 10 mold the public thought
to see the significance of pro-
tecting our forests. that we some
day might not feel the want of
a stick of wood. Had il not been
for these men ! am sure that
some of us would. like many
people in Denmark and other
European countries do, go out
into the forests with a rope on
our backs and gather for fuel
such twigs and forest litter that
might have fallen to the ground.
My suggestion is therefore to
select one Of the names of afore-
mentioned men for your sturdy
elm. Guard ii and care for
it. that it may be a credit to the
name Of the man who devoted so
much time and energy to the well
fare of future generations.
We here in Colorado are now
enjoying the best of summer
heat. No rain has fallen since
the last week in May. Strong
winds have been the rule the last
two weeks. As consequence the
fire danger in the forest has been
materially increased. The I'm
compahgre National Forest has
so far been extremely fortunate,
we have only had one small fire
covering two or three acres. No
damage to speak Of was done.
Other forests in Colorado have
not escaped the red enemy. Last
Tuesday on the Arapahoe Ma
tional Forest near one of the
portals Of the seven mile long
tunnel now under construction,
a campfire was left unextinguish-
ed. "A strong wind came up
causing the fire to spread. In
spite of immediate action to put
the fire out $500 acres of timber
was burned over in three and one
half hours.
Fire in the woods is familiar to
most of you, as is also the conse-
quences, but let me say just this:
that | hope everyone of you will
use every precaution in the use
of campfires and matches when
ever you are in the woods.

wishes to all and thanks to the
