* — ——— Marks Rebuilt Tomb of Lincoln Shrine at Springfield Now More Worthy of the Great President. RESIDENT HOOVER dedicated a transformed Abraham Lincoln tomb at Springfield, II., June 17, last Year. When the monument over the spot where the body of the Civil war Pres- ident rests was given to the world again pligrims to the grave found that it is a place of simple grandeur befi:- ting a national shrine. For months it was closed to the pub- Me while skilled artists plied their arts to repair and rebuild it and gave it beauty, simplicity and dignity, The reconstruction was made pos sible by the passage of a $175,000 ap- propriation by the general assembly in 1029, Much the Same Outside. Outwardly the monument appears the same, except that it has an air of newness, of freshness, In a terrace created at the south or entrance side of the monument there is a bronze head of Lincoln by Gutzon Borglum on a pedestal of granite. The great transformation Is in the interior of the monument. Under per- sonal supervision of C. Herrick Ham- mond, state architect and former pres- ident of the American Institute of Architects, the previously unused and unfinished area at the base of the * LINCOLN'S TOMB monument was opened and architee- tural skill and art combined to fabri. eate a rotunda connecting galleries and sarcophagus chamber, One of the main features of the gal leries joining the rotunda and the sar- cophagus chamber are nine Lincoln statuettes of bronze depleting Lincoln ut ig stages of his career. These are the handiwork of internationally famous sculptors, At each of the four corners of the central unit of the monument there ls one of these statuettes, about three feet In height, resting on a pedestal in a niche.

The success of the nation-wide rnmpalgn to eradicate bovine tubercu losis has been due largely to the de- termination on the part of the publie not to tolerate the presence of such a dangerous live stock malady. This is the opinlon expressed by Dr. A. E. Wight, in charge of tuberculosis eradl- cation for the United States Depart. ment of Agriculture, at a recent an- nual meeting of the United States Live Stock Sanitary association, at Chicago. Referring to the results obtained by the campaign, Doctor Wight gave the following comparison: In the 15 year period ended In 1008, 400,000 tuberculin tests were applied which disclosed an infection of 10 per eent. In the year 1031 alone more than 183, 000,000 tuberculin tests showed only L5 per cent infection. This was at the rate of more than a million tests a month and is an Indication of the vast effort being put forth to conquer tuberculosis among cattle, “Tuberculosis eradication work un- der the area plan continues to be a satisfactory and practical method of exterminating the disease” Doctor Wight said. “Since the first of No vember, 1080, 2168 counties have been added to the modified accredited area where the degree of Infection Lins been cent. This makes a counties, or pearly 42 of 1 per of 1.271 Among other subjects discussed by Doctor Wight were tuberculosis-free cattle.

Directly above what formerly was the north door, but now transformed into a window covered with a wrought- fron grill, there is cut in the marble this famous tribute to the emancipa tor: “Now He Belongs to the Ages” Across from the sarcophagus in a crypt sealed with slabs of marble rest the bodies of Mrs. Lincoln and three of | their sons, Edward Baker, Willlam Wallace and Thomas, Flags Form Honor Guard.

Cattle Ticks Waning The cattle tick eradieation campaign which met with so much opposition upon the part of growers in the in. fested area has progressed to the point where In 85 per cant of the total the tick has ben routed completely. The perverseness of the average In dividual which brings about oppo- sition to every enforced step toward betterment, such as the cattle dip ping, tuberculin test for dairy cattle and various plant quarantines, has de layed the complete success of the tick eradicatior campaign, but so encour. aging has the progress so far been that officials look forward with hope to the time in the near future when the tick will be a thing of the past. Stretching the Fodder Grinding corn roughages will make the supply of corn fodder last longer, according to the Towa State college, Experiments at the Nebrasks experi: ment station show that calves not only eat coarsely ground corn fodder with less waste, but they gain much better than they do on whole fodder. With other classes of live stock the chief advantage of grinding is In the preven. tion of waste and in, as will readily seen, making the feed supply last longer, on Ensilage Cutter Additions That Cut Cost of Equipment, A reasonable objection to individu. al farmers equipping thelr farms with ensllage cutters, hus been that this plece of equipment ean be used only a few days each Year, occupying stor age space the remainder of the time. This led to the equipping of one of the standard feed grinders with a feed table, knives and elevating fan or blower, Such feed mills then, with a few minor adjustments, are con verted into silage cutters, With these, fapmers can fill their silos fut capaci ties as large as ordinary farm tract ors will handle. Where trench or pit sllos are used, the elevating fan is disconnected and the cut fodder dropped directly into the silo, With a machine of this kind, farm ers fill their sllos—then instead of putting this machine into storage the next eleven months, they put it back into the barn, granary or corn crib and cut, grind and mix the other feeds -both grain and forages—for their live stock, throughout the remainder of the year, The earning ability of a plece of equipment of this kind is many times greater than one which only fills silos or only grinds grain, since It Is used throughont the year for the prepara tion of all the feeds used by farm herds and flocks. —Missour Farmer, Trench Silo Puts All of Corn Crop to Use Many farmers in the coin belt tried temporary silos last year for the first time.
