REGULATION TO PREVENT INTERSTATE SHIPMENT OF TUBERCULAR CATTLE

t ot Agrteulturo.)

Tbe iegnlatlon prohibiting, after July L 1919, the Interstate movement of cattle for breeding or dairy parposes unless they are properly tuber-culin-tested, will prove to be a long step toward the cin-rol of tuberculosis and Its eventual eradication in thU I country, according to officials of the

boat compartment* In which they an moved must be cleaned and disinfected under bureau regulations: and the cattle must not be transported In car* or boat compartment* containing healthy cattle or hogs unleoe the latta

taro. It suppleweBts and strengthen* state regulations on this subject. Tbe 6bJed of the regulation la specifically to prevent the Interstate shipment of diseased animals to cattle breeders or dairymen who are trying to drive out or keep tuberculosis from their herds. Cattle consigned to a public stockyard, and steers and strictly range cattle may be moved interstate without restrictloo under tbe new

regulation.

Copies of the regulation, which has been Issued by the secretary of agriculture and la known a* regulation seven of bureau of animal Industry order 263, are being printed, and will be available soon for cattle owners, dealers, veterinarians and others ubo may

desire them.

The regulation of interstate movement of cattle follows the same prtn clple need successfully In the contro ; ot other animal diseases, and has been recommended to the department of agriculture by many cattle owners a.an essential part of tbe campaign against tuberculosis, which Is now getting well underway, and In which the federal government and 42 states are

co-op eratlcg.

What Cattle May B« Moved. Cattle known to be tubercular maybe moved Interstate for Immediate slarghter under federal Inspection. They must be marked for identification; must be accompanied by a certificate showing their condition, that they may be shipped Interstate, and 'be purpose for which they are shipped; transportation companies must identify the cattle as tubercular

Purebred cattle which have beer shipped Interstate for breeding or feed Ing purposes, end which have reacted to the tuberculin teat subsequent to such shipment, may be rashlpped interstate upon proper certificate fot purposes other than slaughter, pro vlded they are consigned to the original owner at the same point of origin; the reshlpment must be made within four months of the original shipment; they shall not be shipped to any state or territory that does not provide for quarantine of tubercular cattle; they cannot again be shipped Interstate except for Immediate slaughter under government inspection ; requirements of Identification and dlstofecticc. must be observed. Briefly, heifers may be moved interstate for feedlrg or grazing on certification that they will not he used for other purposes, and cows may shipped interstate from public stuck vsrdj on affidavit to the same effect ioOe may be shipped from public tock yards for feeding provided the owner or shipper makes affidavit that they are for feeding only, and tbe state to which they ara shipped provide* fo

Certificate With AoeredlUd Cattle. Cattle from a hard officially a credited as free from tuberculosis may be Shipped Interstate If accompanied by dffidaLcertlflcatea showing they are

from each a herd.

Tuberculin teste for the detection of tuberculosis may be made by veterinary Inspector* of the bureau of animal Industry at public stock yards regular bureau stations or by a veterinarian of tbe state of origin, authorized by the state and approved by the bureau of animal Industry.

MANURE IN CROP ROTATIONS GIVE ALFALFA A GOOD START

Increased Yields Secured In Experiments at West Virginia and Ohio Experiment Stations. The agricultural value of manure usually is greater than the plant-food value. For example, the application of 12M tons of manure a year for 15 yeara at the Weat Virginia experiment 'fetation gfcve increased crop yields valued at $40 an acre a year, or $3.12 a ton for the manure used. During a period of ten years tbe Ohio experiment rtation hat obtained an Increase of crqpe valued at $4.09 a too for the manure used. Tbe application was made at the rate Of eight tons of manure an acre during a five-year rotation of Com, wheat, oats, clover and timothy. Two applications of fonr tons each were made, one for corn and one for dover. Manure used In connection with contlnuon* grain cropping did not maintain the yields, but when used In connection with crop rotation the yields of all crope a

KEEP HOGS COOL IN SUMMER Animals Got Hot Vary Epally and Caro Should Bo Taken ta Keep

(Preparse by the Unite* gutee Depart-

Every time a hog gets too hot. ho pants away an appreciable portion of meat. And hogs get hot very easily. During the summer, eopedal rare should be taken to have the hog quarters well shaded. If no natural shade Is available, a very good shelter may be made of straw or boagtii plated about four feat above the |>en or wallow. Clean water In which the hogs can lie should always lie provided, says the United States deportment of agriculture.

Booster cluba for town planning *nd dale Improvement* are the natural outgrowth of our war-time defense and patriotic leagues. Our suburban town* aboUd not overlook this opportunity to utilize three war-time organizations In tetberiag the welfare of their comtltiee. Many Interesting activities can be carried on, for the Improvement and beautification of your town and munlty. T would suggest the following as being Important interesting and practical Have your boosters* c'nb appoint an outdoor art committee. Tbe member* of this committee should be citizens who can give considerable time, are public spirited, self-sacrificing and appreciate what town improvements mean.- This committee should recommend the adoption of an ordinance for the protection and regulation of tre* planting on all the public stieet*. It sliould condemn the planting Of •oft wood short-lived varieties of tree* like the willow, box elder, cottonwood. jg>pl&r and soft maple*. All of these are a nuisance and in many cases destructive. Tbe roots of the willows, poplars and cottonwood* fin the sewers and Injure pavements, while tha box eider! and soft maples are always serionaly affected by Insect and fungus

Only the hardwood long-lived varile* should be recommended by this committee, such trees as the American elm, red an'! pin oaks, sycamore, Norway maples, lindens, glnko. Ironwood, locusts, etc. These trees will grow to be several hundred years old, are not seriously affected by Insect and fungus diseases sad seldom look shabby <v unsightly.—J. H.

BILLBOARDS HIT BY DECISION By Ruling of Supreme Court They May Be Barred From Residence Dletricta. The power granted cities by tha United States Supreme court to eliminate billboards altogether In the dentlal districts Is hailed w’th approbation by the American Civic a nation in a bulletin which It devotes to the billboard mil. The decision which protects tbe millions of dollars Invested In homes and d’ric Improvements was rendered In the case of the Cusack company against Chic*TOThe Civic association. In the strongest language, urges communities to protect themselves from the Intrusions of billboards In the realdence districts. It calls the billboards ‘‘eyesores," which depreciate property values. Los Angeles already has taken advantage of the power given It by the Supreme court to bar billboards from all parts of the city except business districts. Whether a block Is lr a business district Is determined by tbe written consent of the owners of OP per cent of'the property id the block and the two adjoining blocks. 80 it wCl take the permission of the owners of two-thirds of tbe frontage In throe blocks to erect billboards along one block. The billboards may be banished at any time upon the request of (fas owners of 85 per cent of the frontage, —xr City Star.

Appropriate Gardens. Much that ha. been said )n regard to the bouse applies equally well to the garden. Let its style be deternilued by locality. Formal gardens with neat hedges and direct path* are more and more appropriate as we approach tha convention* lltles of city life. Leave the picturesque garden* to specious, picturesque surroundings. Winding paths and other features of the natural garden require to t« close to nature. An orchard is both more useful and more beautiful In tbe proximity of the small houae that Is not far from town. The cost of maintenance la least In the orchard garden with paved paths, flowering shrubs, and borders of perron Isis.

Improve the Grourde. Unfortunate, Indeed, is tha f, mny which has no trees or shrubbery about the hous- and which has permitted this much of 1010 i„ go by without planting anything. Piling up of money, laud or stock for some one else to use at the expense of some of the comforts and pleasures easily obtained for a home !» not only poor Judgment, but poor htrtiin* polity.
