This J i certainly solve some of the prob- Say a commission composed of three competent persons, one each to be appointed from the northern, central and southern divisions of the State, to provide sanitary rules, and a competent State veterinarian. To stamp out contagious and infectious diseases such commission should be empowered to quarantine against diseased stock, and sections, and to kill infected stock at the public expense. In older States experience has shown this to be both wise and economic treatment of the whole matter. The commission and its work would not cost a tithe of the annual losses which are now suffered by the State. The people of the State should make the importance of this matter palpable to the coming members of the legislature. There are other interests than a division of the offices and emoluments for that body to consider, and this one is not the least by any means. As the States grow older the subject becomes more important, and the time has fully come to seriously consider this matter in the Central West, where the live stock interest is still rapidly developing. aJTDIASfA.
