Tuberculosis the Resnlt TO Cattle Keep
Indoors.


lIsrpcr's WeaNly,
An articletun physical development
recently published in Harper's IF6eGly
refers incidentally to the fact that ami.
mails in confinement very frequently die
of consumption, and suggests that this
is due more to the lack of physical exer-
else than to any other cause. Noting
this suggestion, correspondent writes
to call attention To the manner in which
cows arc cared for during the winter III
our bes. daities. llG says that while
boarding on large dairy farm near
Minneapolis he observed, to his sur
prise, that the COWS were kept in their
stalls from the beginning to the close OF
winter--a period OF several months in
that latitude without being allowed
any opportunity whatever for exercise,
and that sinca coming East he learns
that the same plan has been adopted in
the best diaries Of New York. The pro-
prictors Of the diaries, he says, justify
their action hy alleging that the cows
look healthy, and they fail back in the
last resort OF the assertion that, be It
hygienic or unhygenic, ii "is business"
to care fer the CONS in this way.
If it be true, as would thus appear,
that so harmful custom us this is be-
coming widely prevalent, the subject Is
certainly worthy tho attention pl the
Department of Agriculture. 1t eau
hardly be questioned that cow STAN
chioned for months at time in such
manner that she is hardly able to take
single step will be less robust and
healthy, and moro susceptible to disease,
other things being equal, than one that
is allowed IL reasonable amount Of out
of.deor exercise. And the healthful-
ness Of dairy COWS Is q matter of such
vital Importance to the cntire public
that the manner OF caring for them
might very properly be made the sub
icct Of ofiiclll inquiry and legislative
restriction. Particularly 10 this true in
States where, as in New York, tubercu.
lous COWS are killed by order of the
State veterinarian, and the owners re.
| inbursGd from the State treasury.
Under such conditions it is plainly no
more than just that owners Of COWS
Should be required to care for them in q
way that will tend TO ward off tubercu-
!osls rather than toinvitu that disease.

DoEenca of the Dude.
Medical Record.


The editor of the National Medical
ReCieD is moved to speak words Of
praise of the dude, who has the merit,
he says, of cleanliness, for "his collar Is
not melted with the heat of many
summers; neither are his Shoes covered
with the sands of time. His linen is not
Stained with the drippings of a tobacco
press; neither are lis teeth covered with
the green alge Of antiquity. Ills face is
not the sign Of 4 poor barber; neither are
his fingers ploughed with the deep
assures of the bichloride, The dude is
surgically clean. Tubercle bacilli slip
from his polished footwear; and the
klebs.DOetiier cannot find nesting
place beneath his nails. He is the latest
teacher; and wise are those who profit
by his lessons" Tho editor is not
complimentary to his professional
brethren in Washington. In our favored
city the above description applies with
special fitness to the nbysiaian.
