I have to say that the policy of the government in regard to these reserves is more poular with the community in which I live than it was when it started out a few years ago. JJ'he reason Is that , there is loss of it. The more the area of the reserves is cut down, the less objection thesa is to them In other words, the popularity of the policy increases in an Inverse ratio to the slxe of the reserves. Every time a thousand, acres or so of land that never had a stick of timber on It and could not grow one to save its life, is eliminated from a proposed reserve there is rejoicing throughout all our borders.

Adjourn sine die. ' order yesterday by President Springer at 3 o'clock, . The delegates were rather slow. In coming . together and It was clearly Wi be seen, that the president, who is a business man of prompt habits, wished them to be on hand to dispatch the vast amount of routine business be fore the convention. Indeed, during the morning session, ; President Springer most emphatically stated the necessity for everyone being on time. ' Besolntlons Bead. At the instance of the president. Sec retary Martin read a number of reso lutions prepared by various 'delegates and by them turned over to the commit tee on resolutions. The president stated, for : the edification of the .assemblage, that every resolution in the secretary's hands had been favorably reported on by the committee. With these pre liminaries the convention settled down to the business of the afternoon. rirst Besolntion. The first resolution related to the in terstate commerce commission..: It gives that body . authority to make rates in place of those which have been found to be unreasonable and unjust to the ship per. This was adopted. Tariff oa Hides. The next '; resolution, - which was adopted, Is one . which greatly Interests all the cattlemen. Its object is to se cure legislation to retain the tariff on hides. Its removal the livestock men consider would proe a serious detri ment to their Industry, and they seek to have its removal retricted. The reso lution also conveyed the thanks of the convention to Senator, Warren, president of the National Woolgrowers. associa tion, for his amendment to the bill re ferred to. This amendment places manufactured articles of leather also on the free list with the proposed re moval of the tariff on hides., :r:...; 'livestock Census. -.,.: The third resolution " related to a classified census of stock. It also con tained a clause touching upon the Gros venor anti-shoddy bill before congress, This passed without a single dissenting voice. - v. . .- i Important Petition. , A petition, was , next presented for adoption addressed to the traffic mana gers of the several Chicago railroad lines. It wad unanimously approved, and requests that they reconsider their recent action denying free transporta tion to men accompanying stock ship ments. - The president ordered this for warded to the railroad officials. In his usual vigorous and emphatic manner he declared: Springer's Den., "If the traffic officials turn down our most reasonable request, we shall force the issue. We shall secure the passage of the. Missouri law In every state west of the Missouri river compelling the railroad companies to accede." They Smell a Sohenta. ' It appears that a movement is on the tapis looking, toward the amalgamation into a national organization of the humane societies of the several states. This movement is bitterly opposed by the New Tork State Humane society. The -livestock men shrewdly see through the schemo as a means , of . providing soft snaps for a lot of hungry, office seekers. They set themselves on record by the adoption of a strongly-worded resolution against the proposed pun. JPnre-Brod Cattle Bate. A resolution requesting the railroad companies - to make lower and more favorable special rates for pure-bred cattle was unanimously adopted, v -; ' "Agin Automobiles." " ' At the close of the address by Hon. C E. Btubba.on "The Horse and the Horse Industry," a summary of which appeared in The journal yesterday, Pres ident Springer said: "If, after this excellent, talk on the horse, any of you fellows want to raise automobiles you can do so. I don't be lieve you can find such things down where Jerry Simpson lives. Their abodes GOVERNOR GEO. E. CHAMBERfcMJt TOMORROW'S PROGRAM and Clar-k-Expoal tionAJZoaJudga - there are still within the virgin vale of rural simplicity." ' Col. W. E. Skinner of the Chicago Union stockyards, who was to deliver his address on "Livestock Expositions" to day, was called to Chicago last tilght. In view of this fact he was asked to speak yesterday afternoon. ' He accred ited the southwest with having produced the very best of certain classes of cat tle.' He exhibited photos of Herefords and other breeds in Texas and other states. He desired to see the dawn of the day when the United States should become the greatest producer of beef of any nation on earth. ; Col. C. E. Wantland of Missouri made an address on "Winter Feeding on the Range." . .; . -. . . Independent Packing Plant. Secretary Martin read a resolution providing for the establishment of a packing plant, entirely Independent of the packers' combine at some convenient center. The president called for dls cusions of this resolution. ' Mr. Harris Idea. ' The first response came from E. S. Harris of Kansas City. He considered the question a vital one, and one in which livestock men are all interested. He deplored the unholy alliances which are' crushlng out his interests. He cited Instances of unjust and high-handed ma nipulations of prices which he bad seen in the Kansas City stockyards. In clos ing he said: "I believe unwatered stock in an Independent national packing house 'JON .TOHMW PRIMGEI? wtsieitii ur m ati on At VlV3lCCH Ap would sell as well as watered stock elsewhere." . Mr. Harris naturally con sidered Kansas City as a desirable lo cation for an independent plant. reared a Preezeont Mr. Ferguson inquired "invase an inde pendent packing house should be estab lished would not the combine freeze out the independent plant by paying more money. This was in sequence to his question, "What Is moral support?" which clause occurred In the resolution preceding the discussion. President Springer said that the way to do would be to accept the higher price till the packers' wearied of it, because the Independent plant would be under no expense meanwhile. ', v . Jerry's Begular Stan t. . Then Jerry Simpson shied his castor into the ring. "I'm interested in this," said he. Then he read an editorial clip ping .from a Portland paper. "It occurs to me this thing can be considered as a business proposition," he continued. "Whether the cattlemen can defy the beef trust remains to be seen. . Upon what foundation does this combine ex ist? It dates back to the railroads fixing the rates. If the independent plant can secure railroad competition it would tend, in my opinion, to a solution of the problem." Money Bequired. J. D. Wood said It would take money to act If the members with money can and will put up the capital they may es tablish a plant He would secure the men and the money who could secure subscriptions to stock in such a plant as was desired. He made many, prac tical suggestions.' . , A Misunderstanding. Mr. Springer of Oregon said if he were to invest he would like to have a voice In the control of the Independent packing plant, and would want the manager to report to the board of directors. Mr. McKenzie of Tex4s said he under stood the independent plant was a corpo ration outside of the livestock associa tion. In this he was' seconded by the president, who said that, the prices for beef were arbitrarily fixed by six men every morning. . . , - Already Incorporated. The Independent plant, is already In corporated in Arizona for tS.OOO.OOOj $200,000 of which has been paid in, said President Springer. In answer to the inquiry of Mr. Mo Kinney of Oregon as to how a cornering of the stock In this plant was to be pre vented. President Springer , answered. He referrel the speaker to his address delivered Tuesday fully covering the question. --. .. The resolution received a unanimous vote of adoption, and the convention ad journed at 4:30 to 4:30 this morning.

Hutchinson of the United : States bureau : of - animal r in dustry, in a discussion on bacteria that is helpful to mankind, had this to say: Some tr&appreolated Prtends.

'- " . ..' ; There Are Oood Bacteria. ' L But bacteria are no longer' considered as exclusively menacing, , we cannot look upon ,all bacteria or germs with dis favor, nor 'ought any unfavorable com ment be heard when the announcement is made that new ones have been discov ered, .for the more of them, we find and recognize, the more we become assured that the most of them are working for our good. It has come-about that the microecoplo organisms which cause anthrax., black leg, tuberculosis, cholera, etc., are made to themselves furnish the substances that prevent these very diseases. This is an aspect of the question of bacter iology, in which all stockraisers of what ever sphere or position are deeply con cerned, and there Is hardly any branch of science In which greater or more beneflclent progress has been made. Bacteria Aid Man. But It Is not simply in the domain of disease prevention that bacteria show themselves the benefactors and good ser vants of man, for, not only will we find when we look into the subject more deeply, that Industrial processes of the must diverse nature depend for their operation upon bacterial activity, but that there are caused by germ life also certain processes in nature of such Importance that the" very continuance of animal and vegetable life may be said to be dependent upon them. Such are the processes Involved in soil forma tion, of decomposition and putrefaction of organic animal and vegetable mat ter, and the disintegration and decay of inorganic rocks and mineral substances, In the tillage of the soil and the growth of crops the action of baoteria is chiefly if not wholly beneficial, the more abundant crops enjoyea Dy one farmer over another are the result of his having a more abundant and better adapted supply of bacteria in his soil. Oerms Add to PertlUty. Each group of bacteria performing its one special function, devoting its own brief life in an effort to contribute to a broader life. To the combined and co operative . efforts of these different groups of bacteria tne xeriuiiy or me soil was originally due, and upon their continued action the maintenance of this fertility depends. riavor a necessity. But bacteria go even further than this. Not only have they aided in the production -of certain foods, but they also impart to others special commer cial values and Important dietetio prop erties. Physiology teaches that flavor Is an essential as nutriment, and that the body could not subsist upon the fats were they entirely devoid of flavor, for unon thle. property depends the nat ural stimulus, both to consumption of sufficient quantities of them to sustain life and the glandular action upon which depends the-aecretlon of the digesting juices in the stomach and Intestines. In very many of the foods most ex tensively used, flavor Is produced en tirely by bacteria, and the dairy prod ucts in dally use upon our tables are the most conspicuous examples of these bacterlally Imparted flavors. In cheese nd butter-making, bacteria are now ad mitted to be Indispensable. They are the only agencies whereby the essential flavor may be produced. Such common flavoring substances as vanilla and chocolate depend for their nrrmur elaboration upon bacteria, and the flavor and aroma of our after-dinner cigar is also derived from the labor of these much maugnea inue woraors. Bacteria !Labo for TJs. Another Important Industry that de pends feu; the proper finishing of its pro ducts upon bacteria, is the growing of such fiber plants as flax, hemp ana jute, in all these plants the valuable fiber is po closely interwoven With the coarser woody parts aa to make its mechanical separation Impossible, so again man calls to his aid bacteria, ana surrouna lng them with all the conditions of warmth and moisture, waits for them to accomplish what he with all his skill In chemistry, physics and mechanics is unable to do, , In these day of sanitary precautions and defenses against the Invasions of the ubiquitous microbe, we would look with horror upon" the man who would propose to fix things up so bacteria might grow more luxuriantly in our water sources, yet knowledge has come to us whereby we can use the bacteria of the scavenger variety, those which attack and make over the refuse animal and vegetable matter into harmless and useful substances, in the destruction of sewage and the purification of con taminated water.

It is certain that some foods lose many of their valuable properties upon being sterilised. Sterilisation a Mistake. ' In plant culture it has been' shown that healthy but otherwise sterile seeds sown in sterile soil make a growth only corresponding to the amount of nutri tion, contained in the original seed, and the plant dies in ; from one uto . three weeks. In animal life experiments have been made with chickens raised under absolutely sterile conditions and kept so until death occurred, eating only sterilised food and breathing only ster ilised air, none of them lived longer than 30 days and many of them died much earlier. t- The cry for universal sterilization must, and indeed has already given placo to the more reasonable demand for universal cleanliness. Dirt and filth retard the growth of certain of the more beneficial forms of bacteria. As a class these little organ isms are the Implacable foes of all un cleanliness. Allow dead animals or ac cumulations of sewage and excrement to remain about uncovered and bacteria will attack it with such vigor that their efforts to incorporate it with the soil and .transform lt.into . useful material will create such a disturbance in the at mosphere as will force man to hasten to their aid with pick and shovel.
