QUARANTINE IS LIFTED lttwtritUoii on Five IUIiioIh Cwuntk-s Ibn-auKe of Traflic In Tubercular Cattle Is Removed The counties of Lake, McHenry, Kane, Dupage, and Cook, in the state of Illinois, have been released from quarantine for tuberculosis in cattle by an order signed by the Secretary of Agriculture July 19? 1916, effect ive August 1, 1916. These counties were the only portions of the state under quarantine. This order revokes the quarantine placed upon these counties by an or der signed August 22, 1914, and ef fective October 1, 1914.

Colo. Live Stock Education One of the most important Items In connection with successful stocK farming is the ability of the Btock armr to recognize Quality in his live stock. One of the features of the next an nual National Wetstern Ctock Show will be the Student's Judging Con tat in which Judging teams from ag ricultural colleges from all over the West will participate. This will be the opening feature of the show and la Axnected to attract more than us ual Interest at the next show be cause of the fact that a number of wMipm colleges that have not nere- tntnra taken nart in these Judging contests are preparing to enter Judg ing teams. Aside from the premiums won. the contestants In these contests se- Thls quarantine was placed at the request and with the co-operation of the State Live Stock Sanitary Com mission of Illinois, in order that the interstate movement might be pre vented of breeding and dairy cattle which in numerous instances were found to be affected with tuberculo sis on arrival in other states. This condition was brought about by the fact that Illinois did not have a law providing tor the tuberculin test of cattle shipped either into or out of the state. In the absence of such a law, cer tain persons in Illinois were able to make a business of buying up came in Illinois and elsewhere which the tuberculin teBt showed were infected and shipping these cattle throughout the country. This trade grew to con siderable proportions. The men en gaged in it operated in the five coun- iy. The percentage of increase of July ntpments this year over last year re as follows: Wyoming, 355 per cent (four and one-half times as many); Nebraska, 62 per cent (less than twice as many); total, 131 per cent (about two and one-third times as many).

From Boys and Girls' Ask a Total 26,306 11,361 14.945 Iearer Ilread The advance In wheat has natural ly lifted the price of flour and this must be followed by dearer bread. The cost of bread hits the consumer, for whose sake all sorts of remedies except sensible ones are proposed. Millers and bakers are denounced as monopolists and the government is asked to inquire Into their Iniquities. An export tax on wheat is proposed n defiance of the express provision of the Constitution to the contrary. Nobody seem, to think of economiz ing by eating corn pone or oatmeal occasionally Instead of white bread. Nobody suggests that many consum ers might reduce their expenditure for unnecessary things in order to pay the market price for bread. We know a woman who spent as much on dancing lessons last year as on mik, but she kicked like the pro verbial bay steer when the milkman asked a cent a quart more. We know a man wuoue looacco cobib more man his bacon, but it's the price of bacon hat worries him. Perhaps it s mere ly human nature and therefore in curable, but many of our people seem to -devote most of their kicks and economies to necessities rather than to luxuries.
