By A..D. MELVTN, Chief U. S. Animal BareaH. :

growing shortage in the beet
.,,. ,i o the country has been
irmtlul cause for alarm in recent
ears We no longer have the former
abundant supplies of cattle raised
cheaply on free range. The range is
being cut up and fenced off into
farms or diverted to sheep graxing.
In addition there is the great increase
in the price of corn and other feeds,
-wnich has made cattle feeding i isky
and expensive undertaking.
Beef Gets Scarcer.
Estimates by the bureau of statis
tics of the department of agriculture
show that in the last six years the
nuirber of beef cattle in the United
States has fallen from 51.5,00 13
SC. 030, 000, a decrease of fitirm and a
half million, or 30 percent. Market
reports show that receipts of cattle at
six western markets from January 1
to March 19 have decreased to the ex
tent of 73,000, while sheep show a de
crease of 230.MO and hogs at 11
markets have fallen off 9S9.O0O. This
decrease is reflected in the number of
animals slaughtered under the meat
inspection. In Janpary and: February,
as compare! with the same months of
last ear, the decreases amounted to
77,951 cattle, 21,228 calves, 381.304
sheep, and S9C,8S8 swine.
The demand for meat, on the other
hand, has been increasing along with
the population. According to the
census we have 29.000,000 more people
to feed than we had 20 years ago.
More Meat Needed.
Under these conditions it is essen
tial that we should increase our pro
duction of meat and especially of beef
cattle. With the disappearance of the
open range there will have to he a
readjustment and a change in methods.
We must not only grow more stock
and better stock, but it is becoming
more important than ever that we
should prevent and overcome the
heavy losses from animal diseases. To
this end the bureau of animal indus
try has been working for many
years.
The most serious disease of live
stock in this country is tuberculosis,
which occurs chiefly among cattle and
hogs. Then we have hog cholera.
Texas fever of cattle, contagious abor
tion of cattle and horses, glanders of
not only for a large part of our foodi horses, scabies of sheep and cattle,
aiacKieg oc young caiue, ana a numoer
of ether diseases of less importance.
Loss From Tuberculosis.
I few years ago I had occasion 10
make careful study of the economic
loss from tuberculosis in live stock,
and I found that this amounted to
not less than $23,000,000 a year. In
the meat inspection service we find
that about 1 percent of the beef cat
tle and 2 percent of hogs are af
fected with tuberculosis in some degree.
Texas ferer in the south and the
ticks which spread the infection are
charged with damage estimated at
S40.000.000 to $100,000,000 a year. For
many years the hog raising industry
has suffered heavily from hog cholera.
The losses vary considerably, but are
estimated at more than $18,000,000 a
year, and sometimes exceed a million
dollars a year in each of the several
of the large hog raising states.
Heavy Loss From Blackleg.
Blackleg has caused losses esti
mated at 10 percent of all the calves
in infected regions when vaccine is
not used. Contagious abortion is
J probably second only to tuberculosis
n the losses that it causes to the
breeder. Scabies of sheep and cattle,
while not causing any great mor
tality, have handicapped the sheep and
cattle industries by causing unthrifti
ness and decreased wool production,
and by necessitating quarantine re
strictions. The bureau of animal industry
through its scientific researches and
Its administrative work is helping
stock owners to prevent and treat ani
mal diseases, has eradicated some and
is eradicating others, and protects our
stock against the introduction of con
tagious diseases from other countries.
Peier and Tick.
Nearly seven years ago we began
systematic work. In cooperation with
state authorities, lor the extermina
tion of the t'ckg that spread the in
fection of Texas fever of cattle, and
in this time we have freed from
ticks and released from quarantine

about one-fourth of the territory that
was infested with ticks a.t the time
the 'work was begun. The territory
cleaned up so far amounts to more
than 187,000 square miles and is larger
than South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, and Mississippi combined.
For 15 years the government, with
cooperation of certain states, has been
engaged in eradicating scabies ft
sheep and cattle. These diseases for
merly existed practically through
out the region west of the Missouri
river, but the area has been gradu
ally reduced until we believe that we
are now within sight of the end of
this work in most of the territory re
maining under quarantine. It is very
unfortunate, however, that local con
ditions have made it impossible to
do much effective work in Texas to
ward getting rid of the diseases. The
t state of Texas is still under quar
antine for sheep scab, and the area
quarantined on account of cattle scab
ies includes the Panhandle and the ex
treme southern portion. The government
has been and is willing to do its part,
but the state lacks the necessary
quarantine Taws and appropriations rf
money.
Hog Cholera.
Hog cholera has presented one of
the most difficult scientific problems
ever encountered in the study of ani
mal diseases. After many years of
research, the scientists of the bureau
of animal industry discovered that this
disease was caused by a germ so
minute that It passes through the
finest filter and can not be seen with
the strongest microscope. We know
of this organism only by the effects
that it produces. The bureau has de
veloped a serum of vaccine which is
highly effective in preventing the
disease, and by utilizing this remedy
it should be possible in time o
eradicate th disease from the country.
The federal" government has not under
taken to prepare and distribute this
serum to hog raisers, but this is be
ing done by over 30 states.
Vaccinating For Blackleg.
An effective method of protecting
young stock against blackleg by vac
cination has long been known and lor
15 years the bureau of animal industry
has distributed such vaccine free of
charge to stock owners. Over a mil
lion doses a year are distributed and
the reports received show that the
vaccine is highly effective in prevent
ing the disease. The losses after vac
cination are less than one half of 1
percent, whereas in unvaccinated ani
mals in infected regions the deaths
have amounted to more than 10 percent
of the calves produced each year.
A Cow Infection.
Among th most important scientific
worK pone dv tne bureau auring me
past year has been that relating to
contagious abortion of cows. The
losses caused by this trouble are
probably heavier than has been real
ised. The bureau investigators have
discovered that the germs causing this
disease frequently occur in milk and
are sometimes also found in the ton
sils of children, where they have
probably been conveyed In milk. The
germs cause distinct lesions when in
oculated into guinea pigs. Just what
bearing this organism may have on
human health is not yet known, but
in the present state of our knowledge
it seems that we have and additional
reason for advocating the pasteuriza
tion of nfilk. We are still studying
the disease and trying to work out
methods of prevention.
Jiwat the Germs.
It should be borne in mind that In
fectious diseases are caused by cer
tain specific germs or parasites, and
that if we can once eradicate the In
fection or the parasite responsible for
the disease, and afterwards exclude
the infecting agent, we will have no
more of the disease.
It is our good fortune In this country
to be free from such destructive
plagues as rinderpest, foot-and-mouth
disease, and contagious pleuro-pneu-monia,
surra, and many tropical dis
eases which ravage the herds and
flocks in other parts of the world
and from which our live stock are pro
tected by our system of Inspection and
quarantine of Imported animals.
Much aieoi Destroyed.
The meat inspection constitutes the
largest branch of the bureau's work.

The Mexican Situation
Comments on Conditions, Past. Pres

From Mexican Herald.

X writing the current history of
Mexico one can turn over a new
leaf every day.
Speaking of the case of Barbarous
Turner, the San Francisco Argonaut
says: TTbe theory that any man has
a right to go to another country and
there be protected in any impertinence
or meddling which may suit his fancy
or his interest, is one which should be
got rid of here and elsewhere."
It is evident that the Balkans are
lagging behind Mexico in the war
marathon.
Our only suggestion regarding nego
tiations with rebel leaders is not to
leave any out.
An Ohio editor at least 'is sure that
he would -rather be right than be pres
ident of Mexico.
If that bombardment with rifles an
noys Saltillo. send it down here; we
wouldn't notice & few rifle shots.
Don't be disappointed that the new
government has not done in a 'month
what the last regime could not begin
to accomplish in IS months.
Madero was an honest man with a
weak character." says the London Pall
Mall Gazette, but he mistook his mis
sion "so far as to attempt te held a
wolf by the ears."
-
"No one present with present day
conditions in Mexico was surprised at
'what happened last month in Mexico
City," says the American Review of
Reviews. "An impractical visionary
idealist, devoted to abstract Justice
and consumed with the theory of civic
righteousness, but woefully laeking In
the strong arm of executive ability and
the capacity for enforcing his policies
has been faced for more than a year,
on the one hand, by the direct attacks
on public order by bandits and discon
tented chieftains and on the other by
the sullen restlessness of a people with
neither the aptitude nor the training
for self government.''
The London Times frankly says that
the most Mexico can hope for is a gov
ernment not worse than that of Diaz,
'which, with all its defects, "was bet
ter than the perpetual civil war which
seems to be the only alternative to it."
No one with Mexico's true interests
at heart can help lamenting that Mex
icans do not have a more general and
patriotic realisation of the fact that
continued disorder in this country is
the one thing today that hinders prog
ress and even may Jeopardize national
existence.
The great difficulty that every new
government in Mexico encounters is
that, wafted into office on a wave of
popular enthusiasm, the populace does I
not go home to work and give the in
coming regime time to develop its pro
gram, but they stand on the street
corners and want to see the miracles
begin. If old office holders are not
kicked out in a week, it nation-wide
reforms and campaigns are not under
way in a month, the howls begin.
Moral: Give the new government time
and fair trial.
Foreign comment which is based on
(h. nn...t.tilHiiv that Iia 1.a .(Him.
in Mexico was upholding a rule of real (
aemocracy in mis country, is onen
really ludicrous. Having soon realised
the utter- hopelessness of inaugurating
such ideals, the Madero government
was endeavoring to enforce measures
that went further than any dictator
Mexico has ever known. The effort
was doomed to failure or to ruin of the
country, because the administration in
power had neither the strength of
character nor the experience for the
work. .
President" Taft's last official social
function at the white house was the
entertainment of forty Washington
newspaper correspondents at dinner.
We never heard of a newspaper man
in Mexico being an official guest any
where except at Belen.

Bi-Partisan School Board Ticket Nomi
nated by Democrats and Progressives;
Republicans to Also Have Ticket,
Santa Fe, N. M-, March 29. The eiti
aens' ticket, composed of two "progres
sives" and three Democratic candidates,
was nominated here and two women
were iven places on the ticket. The
candidates named follow: Marcelina
Garcia, Dr. C. O. Harrison and Mrs. John
W. Maves. Democratic candidates, and
H H. Dorman and Mrs. Jacob Weltmer,
"progressive" candidates.
The Democrats and '-progressives"
both held their conventions Tuesday.
iweetine at 2 p. m. Shortly after the
Democrats had organized their conven
tion, a committee from the progressive
convention and one from the Republican
central committee, waited on the Demo
crats with a view to selecting a bi-partisan
ticket The Democrats agreed to
give the progressives one candidate and
two each to the Republican.- and the
Democrat.
When the Democratic convention re
convened at night, tile conference report
was presented, but was almost unani
mously rejected. The fusion with the
progressives then resulted.
A notable feature of the last few
days was the activity the women took
in the matter and three out of the five
names on the Citizens' ticket were on a
list of aeeptMe candidates filed with
the committee of the different parties
bv the Santa Fe Woman's dub. This
means practically the solid endorsement
cf this ticket by the women of the city.
The Republicans will bold a convention
today, at which time It Is said they will
nominate a partisan ticket of their own
and contest for its election at the noils
on next Tuesday against the bi-partisan
ticket.

Cananea. At a meeting of the Globe city coun
cil, city tax collector Piny an announced
to the couneil that he had appointed
tugene Miller as attorney for the col

Taxpayers' association recommended
the purchase of a water tester with
which to test the city meters and

motion of the county attorney. The
defendants were Indicted with one P.
L. Corral, who has been sent to the
penitentiary.
The board of supervisors has refused
to allow county superintendent of
schools T. P. Howard his expenses for
meals while on an official inspection

The board has denied the petition of
the citizens of school district No 4

4 percent bonds, with, the proceeds i.f
which they intended to erect a schoo!
house. The' statutes do not permit of
a district having less than ?15fl,WX) cf
