A single shipment of cattle in
to the community ;.nd then.
Business in stock ■ practically j
suspended through f ur great1
counties. Movement of stock |
throughout sueh distrCt absolute
ly forbidden, rinsing inconven-
ience, loss or ii:ne and business,
breach of c<>ntra£K and possibly
failures. Thousands of dollars!
of expense to the state and conn ;
ty. A rpeci.il aft through the ,
Mate legi.sL i ire, and an embaigoj
against ai! hipments of ca,tle|
from the st<ue of Kansas into any j
of the adjoining states. In a way I
mi. k->ns of people are affe<5ted
And all, we believe, becausej
some man somewhere failed in:
his duty. And more than likely
it was ttic man who disinfected ^
the • r in which these cattle were ,
shipped. We believe the cattle
were inoculated in shipping.
Otherwise the disease would have
broken out before
We arc not blaming Mr. Wheel j
er, and the better people of this |
community have only sympathy i
for him in his hard luck He
may have made a mistake in judg i
ment, but who of us have not ;
He sold out his herd in the sum
mer with the avowed intentions
of getting some registered cattle.
He made his arrangements, and
went to Wisconsin before the cat
tie disease was known It broke
out while he was there. He
stayed six weeks, hoping for the
sky to clear so he could bring
home the coveted stock in time
to get in on the high priced milk
this winter. He did not appreci
ate the terribleness of the disease.
He waited until that state was!
cleaned up, and he was free to
ship. Armed with a letter from
the Kansas Commissioner that
dairy stock from \\ isconsin would
be admitted into Kansas, he went
into a county where there had
never been known a case, and
bought his prize stock from one
of the leading breeders in the
state, and the rest from a state
institution. In order to avoid
danger, he secured at extra ex-
tra expense a palace stock car so
that he could feed in the car with-
out unloading. He took as he
supposed every precaution. He
was unfortunate. He is so far
the greatest loser.
He is his own worst victim.
He has our deepest sympathy in
this great trouble and loss.—

What a Farmer Did
A city man recently visited his
I "country cousin ' I he man from
j the city, wishing to explain the!
' joys of metropolitan life, said:;
! "We have certainly been having j
j fun the last few days. Thursday
! we autoed to the country club
1 and golfed until dark, then trolli
j ed back to town and danced until
morning. ' 1 he country cousin
; was not to be stumped in the j
! least, so began telling of some of!
the simple life: "We have had j
; pretty good times here, too. One
jday vve buggied out to Uncle j
! Ned's and went out to the back ,
I lot, where we baseballed all the j
j afternoon. In the evening we
i sneaked up into the attic and]
| pokered until morning." A stur '
dy old farmer who was listening,
but not to be outdone, took up ;
the conversation at this point and
said; "I was having some inn
about this time myself. I muled ;
; to the cornfield, and gee hawed j
until sundown. Then I suppsred
: until dark, and piped until nine
o'clock, after which I bedsteaded
until the clock fived, after which\
1 breakfasted until it was time to j
go muling agin " —Ex.
