Sixty thousand copies of Extension Bulletin 32, on “Tuberculosis of Cat- tle,” have just been printed for general distribution. A portion of this bul- letin is a reprint with slight rearrangement of Farmers’ Bulletin 473 of the United States Department of Agriculture, prepared by the International Commissfon on the Control of Bovine Tuberculosis. This was a plain, nontechnical statement of the nature and symptoms of tuberculosis, with a brief explanation of the tuberculin test. It has been especially adapted to Minnesota conditions by the addition of a statement of the law and regula- tlon governing such matters in this state. Dr. M, H. Reynolds, University Farm, St. Paul, commission which prepared the original bulletin. was secretary of the He has added some in- teresting statements showing the relation of the tuberculous cow to human health. _—— Beautify Your Back Yard. It 1s a shame that the words “back yard” should so often call up a dismal plcture of dilapidated fence, coal ashes, old furniture and garbage tins. Begin now to interest yourself and your chil- dren in the improvement of your back »d. Spend a dollar on tools and the same on flower seeds and make pleas- ant, healthful occupation for many summer hours. There are a number of hardy annuals that flower profusely and require no scientific care to give good results. Perennials sown at the proper time will give cut flowers every | year after the first. It may be pleas- | anter next July or August to sleep in your back yard than in your house un- der these conditions; also you will find that if the people living in a block get interested In gardening they will not tolerate a lot of useless cats and dogs about, whereby the peace of the neigh- borhood may be enhanced. “Who loves a garden still his Eden keeps.”—Texas Farm and Ranch, Uses of Lime. Lime 1s seldom if ever applied to solls by reason of its value as a direct fertilizer. Its chief value les in its unlocking, unavailable nitrogen, phos- phoric acid and potash. We usually apply it to gardens in one of three forms—viz, quicklime, gypsum or land plaster and wood ashes. We would not advise applying it in any form to All the Advantages of Moun- tain Life Combined with Every Gomfort are to be had in Yellowstone National Park Sumptuous Hotels; 143 miles of coaching over Government rcads thru scenery and wnod ers unique in all the world; fishing, glorious out door life, healthful recreation.

CHANGE IN CLOCKS Aerial Waves, Instead of Springs, as at Present, May Move Hands aon Dial. The coming use of wireless teleg- raphy in time regulation is giving the i tlockmakers of England much to speculate about at the present time, remarks the New York Evening Post. Bome of them profess to see a com- Ing age of workless clocks that is to succeed this clockwork age, the one we live in. That is to say, instead of each clock trying in its own small way to keep exact step to the march of the minute by means of its own lit-"| tle paraphernalia in pendulum, spring and cog wheel, there will exist a sys- tem of master clocks, one in every great center, taking the time from Greenwich observatory, minute by minute, through wireless antennae, end in turn passing it on to the com- munity of neighboring clocks by other electric apparatus. This sounds almost as Jules Verne like as leaving word -with Greenwich observatory to call one at 8:30 o’clock. The immediate question is rather that of the extent to which a spark sent out to all points simultaneously would benefit the keepers of accurate time. It it were worth while, a student of the subject says, it would be perfectly feasible to regulate any number of olocks"within the wireless radius by means of half-minute spark impulses. An English clockmaker has already carrfed out the scheme on a small geale In his own home. All the clocks in the house of F. O. Read of Chis- wick are run by sparks from a master clock, The responding clocks should rather be- called indicators, for they are nothing but dials and’ hands moved by one wheel, which is:actuat- ed by the spark impulses. Set New Idea In Bullding. Francis K. Kimball, who provided the basic idea for modern caisson foundation construction, entered the employ of a builder at the age of four- teen, and has devoted his fe to that line of work. He stopped designing and building to serve in the .Civil war, but has suffered no interruption since.. At one time he went to Eng- land, where he was engaged as su- pervising architect of Trinity college. The caisson idea came to him while erecting a building in New York. Treacherous sands were encountered, compelling him to seek a new method for excavating for the foundation. His career has been marked by original- ity, and he has overcome many obsta~ cles in construction and established many precedents in method. He is & member of the New York chapter of the American Institute of Architeets. Nation-Wide ~ Newspaper Publicity From Maine to California, from the Canadian northwest to sunny Florida, every morning, every eve- ning, every day, the news of the world is told in the newspapers which dot the land from ocean- to ocean. It is almost impossible to con- ceive the tremendous power of in- forming the publfc. which is thus combined in these daily purveyors of the world’s news, In.no way dissociated from this great national force for spreading news: is an equally strong force for disseminating advertising inform: ation, 5 Those manufacturers who wan to. create a widespread .demand and who want a larger distribu- tion for: their products T the influence of the newspaper and tell their story constantly in a doz- en, a hundred;or'a thousand cmes. ‘and towns simultdneously.

He pays special atten- tention to dairymg and has made a marked success. He has excellent buildings, a silo and milks his large herd with a milking machine.

We were in one of the finest and most prosperous towns in the state this week—a town that without any more natural advantages than is pos- sessed by many others—far outranks in population and business any other in that part of the state, a town that was made what it is by persistent boosting—Bemidji. We wish all the knockers-and the sleepy residents of the slee'hy towns in the older parts of t‘he ‘state could visit Beniidji, breathe some of the invigorating air, absorb some of the enthusiasm, and then go home and quit hating them- selves.

It was our first visit to this won- derful and beautiful part of our won- derful and beautiful state and the visit was a lesson showing the im- mensity, fertility and opportunities offered there. Like other editors we were carried away Wwith the prosper- ity and hospitality of the city that was our host and while there voted for the resolution that was carried mnanimously by the association en- dorsing the location of the new nor- mal school at Bemidji because it was helieved no more central location or beautiful site could be found for it. ——Hinckley Enterprise. MAKES GOOD OBJECT LESSON Cleveland School Chitdren, Taught to Take Care of Their Desks, Learn Respect for Property. Through cultivation among publio school puplls of a respect for public property and desire to protect it, #chool officials are blazing the way to the elimination of “graft” and the mis- use of public funds, J. M. H. Frederick, school superintendent, told members of the Cleveland Fellowcraft club at a luncheon recently. This end is to be attained, according to Mr. Frederick, by the teaching of local patriotism in the schools. . Local patriotism i8 not a study, it was ex- plained, but the development of & de- sire in each boy and girl to protect and care for school property intrusted tc them. “Patriotism begins at bome,” said Mr, Frederick, “and with a child in school, it beging with his desk. The child who marks, mars or carves -his desk is not a good citizen. “Pupils-are taught that the marring of a desk impairs its usefulness and that after a time it must be thrown away and a new desk purchased. They are taught that desks and other school property are pald for from’funds de- rived from taxation. Their perents pay the taxes. Therefore, by preserving school property, they are saving thelir fathers and mothers #rom unnecessary <xpense.” Municipal University, The municipal university is compar atively new in this country, but is not rare abroad.

'Women do over. 90 -per. cent of all the trading, spend 90 per cent of the As Woodrow Wilson had 'hinted at the Short Ballot banquet, the cunpll;n for this new Mom was to be' conducted on original lines. Inasmuch as it dealt with thn fundamentals of democracy, it must find its own way "to ‘tulfiliment 'through the people, instead of being “baunded” to them, For this reason, the Short Ballot Ornnlntlon did not begin to lobby at the State capitols ‘or to seek political suppore in any quarter, although:in later stages of the campaign it became necessary for loul organizations to do this. The headquarters in Neéw York has been engaged from the start in preaching th gospel and trusting mostly to Providence that sensib! Dpeople in every State, city and county will find the necessary means to get the principle enacted into law. The great and busy public is usually I.nu'odmd fo the movement with the simple declaration that:— “The Short Ballot principle 1s:— “Furst—That only those offices should be elective Which are ime portant enough to attract (and deserve) public examination.” ..“Second—That very few offieces should be filled by election at one time, 80 as to. permit adequate and unconfused public examination of X the candidates, and 80 as to facilitate the free and intelligent making of original tickets by any voter for himself unalded by political specialists.” _ -great consuming mass of Woodrow Wilson of success. every merchant to solve. erly made. It is a well kind of appeal. children and their home No complicated. “checks and balances,” no clever mechanisms. Just & very few, but absolutely direct points of contact between the voter and his public servants, without any patent attachment—that, declared Woodrow ‘Wilson, in & speech in Philadelphia, in support of the movement, “is the key to the whole question of the restoration of government by the peopie.” - Elabor- ating somewhat, he said:—“The salient principles of the Short Ballot system are first, a governing body as small as is consistent with efficiency; second, a full administrative responsibility lodged in that body; third, the election of that body- by voters who are given only one, or at most two, persons to select for candidates and to vote for as officers.” In January, 1910, he pub- -lished & complete exposition of the whole theme in a magazine arficle which he called “Hide and Seek Politics,” in the course of Which he declared:— a direct appeal to them. ,“The Short Ballot is the open way by which we can return to representa- tive government. It has turned out that'the methods of organization which lead to efficiency in government are also the methods which give the people control. The busy owner is more effectually in control if he appoints a - capable superintendent and holds him responsible for the conduet of the busi- ness than he would be if he undertook himself to choose all the subordinate agents and workmen and superintend both them and the superintendent; and the business is also better cenducted—incomparably better conducted. What ‘the voters of the country are now attempting is not only impossible, but also undesirable if we desire good government. Such a charter as that of the city of New York, for example, is a mere system of obscurity and of in- efficiency. It disperses responsibility, multiplies qléctlve offices beyond all reason of necessity, and makes both of the government itself and of its con: trol by the voters a game of hide-and-seek in a labyrinth. Nothing could have been devised better suited to the uses of the professional politician, nothing susceptible of betng more perfectly articulated with the nominating machine. As a means of popular government, it i8 not worth the bother and expense of an election.” e Swiftly, the truth of these doctrines has been impressing itself upon the thinking people of the country. All but a mere handful of the editors of the larger. city newspapers have come out readily for the principle; some of them revert to it again and again. Colleges and universities and high schools, over sixty in number, have made it a special subject of instruetion in their class rooms. 5 & Two years slipped by from the lannching of this idea. In the spring of 1912 the Short Ballot was head over heels in politics. - This was partly due to Colonel Réosevelt, who put his'influence behind it in his address before the Ohio cofititutional convention. In the fall of last year it was endorsed in fourteen State platforms—in Ohl -&nd. Tlinois by all three leading parties. In 1913 eleven Governors urged its adoption in their States.

They want no “just-as-good” articles substituted— a custom which is ‘frequently practiced by some merchants- that is always reacting unfavorably. ‘When women have once lost faitlfin the sincerity of a merchant it is difficult to again win their confi- dence either in him or his goods.
