Tiie senate refused to nass a bill
providing for a stntc medical inspec

Over one hundred thousand llttlo

American generosity for the past three
years are abcolutely dependent upon
the support which America gives them
through the Near East Relief.

from the llttlo children of tho land
where Christ gave' his life for man.

nient that tho Chicago Board of Trade
ns. just appropriated Twenty-Five
Hundred Dollars ($2500.00) to fur
ther the work of the Horse Associa

nouncoment is of far reaching signifi
cance. It means that the greatest
ffrnm market in the world has rec
ognized the menace to grain sales re

horses and mules by motors. It

the extended displacement of
horses nnd mules by motors resulted
in economic ga.n to the nation as a
whole, the campaign or the Horse
Association of America to Increase
tho production nnd use of horses and
mules, would not be warranted. The
Association states that ample evi
dence lias already been secured to
prove that in many instances, such
displacement is cnonomically unsound,
resulting in less reliable, less efficient
service, at greater cost. Consumers,
grain dealers nnd grain producers
alike suffer from sucli substitution,
which, according to a lending traffic
manager in Now York City, is due
chiefly to ignorance on tho part of
business men regarding the actual
cost of operating horse drawn and
motorized equipment. As detailed
costs aro brought to their attention,
through the exhaustive, thorough
work of the Horse Association of
America, horses and mules will again
come into more general use in nil
zones of city hauling and farm worlc,
where they render efficient and more
economical service.

it has not been pulled off. One en

It is understood that tho sifting

tho tax roll bill getting out. It will

TUBERCUI.OSIsIn rOULTItY
Because the older birds furnish the
greatest number of tuberculosis
cases, tho flock may well bo kept freo
tf thono two years old or older, says
extension bulletin 03 of tho College
of Agriculture, "Tuberculosis in Poul
try." Tho elimination of tho older
birds is always n good .practice and
will undoubtedly help to retard tho
si-rcad of tuberculosis. Sanitation is
-also an important consideration in
the prevention of this disease; Clean
liness of pens, houses, eating and
drinking utensils, well-lighted and
ventilated houses, have on excellent
influence on the general health of
the flock as well as on tho resistanco
of the birds to infection. Over
crowding should bo especially avoid
ed, v because should nn infected bird
be present tho intimate contact with
many birds in close quarters is the
host possible factor for tho rapid
spread of tho disease.
