H. Wuellner Finds
Moundbuilders'
:ery
While breaking on Henry
Zimmerman's land south of
Gendreau's place last Monday
Henry Wueljner unearthed
some pottery which was no
doubt made and used by the
moundbuilders. Henry intends to send them to the university museum.
The moundbuilders lived
here before the Indians, but so
long ago that even the red men
know nothing about them. But
their work remains and can be
seen in nearly all the western
states. In the Lake Superior
region they carried on copper
mining. Mines have been
found in which their implements were set aside as if they
had gone home after a day's
work and failed to return.
Their work, considering with
what implements it was done,
is astonishing. Historians
claim that they were semi-civilized and were wiped off the
continent by the Indians.
Geologists look upon them as
people of yesterday, but the
historian as people of misty
antiquity.

TUBERCULOSIS  IN COWS.
Use of Tuberculin Test Best P/ieihod of
Detecting the Disease.
The only reliable way to detect tuberculosis in dairy cow,, is by use of
the tuberculin test, according to Dr. J.
H. Burt, associate professor of veterinary lne'dicine in the Kansas State
Agricultural college.
This test can hardly be administered
by the average person. It is well to
call in the aid of a eotnpetcnt veterinarian or some other person who baa
had actual experience in diagnosing
the disease.
A cow which is affected with tuberculosis—especially iii the more advanced stages of the disease— wi!l be a
poor feeder, may cough and will
a tendency to lose flesh, but these are
not always sure symptoms of tuberculosis. There may be other causes contributing to the same condition. If a
cow does show these symptoms, however, it is advisable to have her examined.
Tubercular cows should be shipped
to the packing bouses having government inspection. Here are special
facilities for handling such animals. ,
T!;:> carcass is very carefully examined
by the government inspector, and. if it
is found to be unfit for ff\cd it is condemned and ni-idc into fertSizer.
If the diseased cow is an especially
valuable animal and it is not deemed
advisable to dispose of li(_b immediate-

Method of Laying Out Plot to Conservo
Space and Labor.
• Since even tho average garden prepared and planted at random proves a,
good investment why not increase its
returns by following a definite plaii-
The possibilities from letting crops
closely follow one another or even
overlap are legion, says a bulletin of
Pennsylvania State College.
There is for first consideration the-
kinds of vegetables. These will depend
largely upon the personal tastes of the
family and the space available. The
average sized garden must be devote;!
to green vegetables rather than to crops,
like potatoes.
Beds, or "patches." are wasteful of,
space and labor. Rows ninning north |
and south the full length of the plot.
are economical and convenient. If- a l
Cull row of one vegetable is not desir-;
able several kinds may be planted In I
the same row, but they should be simi-1
lar in cultural habits aud length of«
growing season.
By separating tho vegetables selected \
into long and short season crops "com j
panion cropping'' may be practiced ■
This is simply the planting in adjaceni i
rows or in the same row of^early aij-1 j
late maturing crops. With this syst.i: !
at least half the ground in a garde 1
may be used twice in a season, eve; j
though full season crops are grow::
For example:
Cabbage plants are set in rows Unity-six   _6ches   apart   and   twenty-t'ou
inches apart in the row.   Jlidway be
tweon the cabbage rows and also be
tween tho plants in the row lettuce is
planted.   Early radishes are drilled in
halfway between the lettuce and cabbage rows.
This combination is harvested as follows: The'radishcs in a month and the
lettuce in  seven or eight weeks:  and
3   the entire space is then left to the cab-
2.-0,. bage, just when it is needed.
5 . Q';    "Succession    cropping"    is    another
space saving practice.   This  plan  follows short season crops  by a  second
1 5   planting of the same vegetable or a
different vegetable.
