TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.

A Dread Disease Its Confederation an
Important Matter with All stockmen.
" Tuhercdlosis in herd Of cattle es-
pecially in valuable herd is ! very
serious matter, says writer in the
Country Gentleman; serious not only
from the immediate consequences, but
more from the prospective injury.
Once in = herd, and NO one can tell
where it will stop; indeed, according to
our best authorities, even the herdsman
in such cases. is not without consider
able danger. Every one owning stock
should read and study carefully DR..
Laws able address at Springfield, ILL.,,
on this subject It seems to me that
every agricultural paper should print
either the entire address or. a full ab-
stract, that all stockmen may know the
importance of this sub ject. "a
If, as now seems demonstrated, tuber-
culosis is caused by microbes, which are
coughed up with the sputa, and are thus
easily scattered to new fields-the lungs
of other animals yet healthy-surely
then, in view of the terrible fatality Of
this malady, no probable case even
should be permitted to remain where it
would endanger other yet healthy
animals. The fact that whole herds in
the United States have been sacrificed
to such dallying with this fearful
plague emphasizes the importance Of
more decided action. If one of my
cattle were to show chronic cough,
especially were this attended with ap-
parent i'll health, 1 should certainly
isolate such an animal at once from all
others in the herd; should thoroughly
disinfect the stall where it had pre-
viously stood by most thorough scrub
bing with dilute carbolic acid; and in
case it were q bull, 1 should not use him
any more till he recovered. This would
be the least should think of doing. I
believe it would be wiser to kill
such an animal at once. closely
examine the lungs, and in case the
tuberculous condition appeared in the
form of bags of thick mucus l should
carefully watch to detect any spread Of
the malady in my herd. and stamp out
any subsequent case as soon as 1t might
put in an appearance. When an ami
NAL is killed, it should be burned OF
buried, that the infection be not scat.
tered. speak as one who has had some
experience and more observation. / am
sure that this disease is in many herds
in the country. Every one should know
of it's symptoms and its terrible fatality.
Every stockman should be SO thoroughly
warned that in every case Of its appear
2nce active measures should be taken

subject of smokeless powder General
Benet saws that. though some astonish-
ing results have been obtained in exper-
iments abroad, it can not yet be saId
with certainty that these new explosives
will eventually supersede the present
powders. The performances OF the
Maxim (American) and Wetterson tBel-
gian) powders are fairly comparab BILE
with those to be obtained abroad, and IT
is hoped that one Of these can be deyei-
oped in time to be thoroughly satistac-
tory for small-arms powder. With ref
erence to the procurement of modern
small-bored rifles for the army General
Benet SAYS a lack of sufficient quantity
of suitable smokeless powder delays
perfecting the thirty-caliber barrel, but
it will be completed by the time suit
able magazine mechanism is selected. 1t
seems peculiarly necessary now that
change in caliber is contemplated, and
that the present Springfield single-load-
ing system should be replaced if possible
by an equally efficient magazine system.
A board should be convened to select
suitable magazine mechanism after a
full and free competition among all the
best existing systems.

Now it is fordable hardly three months
