more or less inferior to the pure orig
inal race. AS n principle, cross-breed-
ing has failed in Switzerland, and the
best results have always been obtained
from ir-breeding from the pure orig
inal stock.
OF these minor spotted breeds the
only one that deserves notice here is the
Freiburg, which originated in the CAN
ton of that name, and is still bred there
in great purity, although even there it
is gradually giving way in the best
herds to the light colored Saanen and
Simmenthal variety.
The distinctive mark of the Freiburg
cattle ;s found in the fact that their
spots ere black. Many examples are
seen in which the entire animal is
black, except perhaps the head and n
stripe under the belly. 1t is fully as
heavy as its Bernese rival, but has
larger, heavier bones, coarser flesh, and
is in other respects inferior to it in the
technical points that characterize per-
feet stock. AS working animals and as
mixers the Freiburgers rank next to
the Bernese.

DEVICES FOR PRUNING.

Three Contrivances Which Save Much
Labor and Annoyance.
Numerous have been the inventions
for enabling person to stand upon the
ground and prune small branches from
the tops of trees, or from other situa-
tions out of reach. Some of these ma
chimes work fairly well when the branch
is small and easily cut off, but they fail
more or less in the case of more serious
pruning. A simple device is shown in
the engraving that is easily made at
home, and that will do good work, even
ifthe branch to be cut out is quite :arge.
1t is n square or round pole of any de-
sired length of hard wood, with II mar
row, sharp little saw fitted into one end
of it. Such saw can be made out of a
thin strip of steel, or piece of an old
narrow saw can be utilized. The other
saw figured is an ordinary handsaw,
with n portion of the back cut out, to
permit easy working where the space
for using a saw is hmited. No one will

DAIRY SUGGESTIONS.

The real test of a COW is her perform
ance after the first three or four months
III milk.
A COW that is heated and worried
will not milk well, and her milk will
not make good butter.
A COW with her first calf never milks
so well as with her third or fourth, and
so is Improbable thus far.
The worst enemies OF the dairy in
terest are those too ignorant or too
lazy to take the pains necessary to
make good butter.
Thoroughly wash the buttermilk out
of the butter us iteomes into the churn
and the butter will not become rancid
so soon.
A large COW on the dairy farm is more
expensive to feed and adds to the cost of
the butter.-Prairie Farmer.

TUBERCULOSIS IN COWS.
Most Prevalent In the Dairioe which Sup
pIy Large Cities.

This subject is one which we have
hesitated to treat in these columns, for
the reason that we have not been clear
as to the actual danger from this source
which threatens the farmers as such, or
what action, if any, their own interests
or their duties to society require ut
their hands. The protection of the
health of the inhabitants of large towns
and cities is a matter for the special caro-
of the municipal authorities who are
dealing with it,
We know, however, that tuberculosis
is an evil more Immediately destructive
to human life than any other that .N.
lists. II is more terrible than smallpox,
yellow fever, cholera or war. That em-
inent journal, the San Francisco Chron-
icle, says that of the 65,000,000 people
now living in the United States mora
than 100000 will die OF tuberculosis.
We know it to be contagious by means
of a microscopic bacillus of such tenac-
| ity of life and virulence that it's deadly
| effect continues after it is dried and
ground to powder; that neat cattle, as
| well as some other domestic animals,
are quite as subject to it as human
| beings, and that infection occurs in
differently among all forms of life
| which are subject to the disease.
But this, as may well be the case, is
the worst side of it. The disease is no.
evenly distributed. While some herds
of cows are nearly all infected, others
are entirely free from it. In general
| tuberculosis in cows is most prevalent
in climates and under conditions which
| favor its ravages in the human race. II
is more prevalent than elsewhere in the
dairies which supply large cities with
milk. Of the 100000 of our fellow
citizens who are to die from it, the ma.
jority, probably, are helpless children
who will imbibe the deadly microbe
with their milk.
There are some who believe that il
we can stamp out tuberculosis from our
domestic animals we can eradicate the
disease from the human race. There
are none who doubt that the control oi
the disease in the lower animals could
enormously decrease human mortality y
and lengthen the average of huma-
life. To accomplish this the only metE
cd is to destroy every infected animal
The inhabitants of cities. as is natural
are moving first and most actively
What is to be done in the country ans
among farmers does not yet appear. L
is not known to what extent the disease
is prevalent among farm cattle in Hi
ferent localities. Apparently the frs
step must be thorough official invest;
cation of farm cattle, that we may know
what we have to deal with. Farmers
certainly do not wish TO kill themselves
and their families, and if there is any
serious danger of this from infected
animals they ought to know it.-Col

Jim Was Ungrateful.

he suddenly stood up, shaded his
eyes with his hand and looked
across the street, and then called
out:
"Heah, yo'? Is that yo', Jim?"

old, who was slouching along the

and replied:
