kept for considerable time for breed
ing purposes. tuberculosis is rarely
hereditary. 1t is contracted in al
most all cases after birth by breath
ing contaminated air or consuming
diseased food. If the source of con-
tagion be removed, the young stock
will remain healthy.
For the past year the Wisconsin
Agricultural Experiment Station has
been working with a herd under these
conditions. The results already ac-
complished justify us in believing
that it is entirely possible to take a
herd in which large percentage of
the animals react to the test and from
such an affected herd build up one
that is free from tuberculosis. Not
only is it possible to stay the progress
of the disease but the condition of the
reacting animals can often be actual
ly improved if nature is allowed an
opportunity for recuperatiOn. Such
method requires time and patience
but will result in saving the good
qualities of herd at comparatively
slight expense, whereas the stamping
out method necessitates beginning
again at the bottom. Even if the
herd is entirely destroyed, it is ntces-
sary to thoroughly disinfect the in
fected barns and also test all new
stock purchased before starting new
herd.
From the records already available,
it is quite certain that tuberculosis is
not as wide spread in our Wisconsin
herds as it is in the East. 1t does not
exist in many places, but in a rela-
lively small number OF herds. 1t is
therefore much easier for us to check
the spread of the disease at the pres
ent time than to wait until we reach
the condition Ihat prevails in other
dairy sections.
The Experiment Station cannot
to test all herds that may
be considered diseased, but it will
gladly cooperate with a limited num-
Der of parties III regard to this matter.
We now have two herds under our
care that are being treated in this
way, and it is very desirable that this
number be increased during this sea
son. Parties having tuberculous
herds are earnestly requested to cor
respond with the undersigned in re-
gard to the above matter The dairy |
of our state are of so para
mount importance that early atten-
ton to this question will be the most |
economical way in which to face this
ssue. A few years of delay will I'M
place US in the same condi- |
lion as many of our older dairy regions.

Hill and Har;uony-

Ex-Governor and ex-senator Da-
vid b. Hill of New York, who was
one of the gold-Democratic delegates
to the Chicago convention in 1896,
and who "straddled" upon the
nomination of Bryan, has been
heard from. Mr.. Hill is evidently
making preparations for putting up
his Presidential lightning-rod in
1900, preliminary to whici he
wishes the gold and silver Demo
Gratis to harmonic their differences
and present a solid front in the
national contest for political SUI
premacy. The harmony invoked
by Hill can be brought about only
by the practical abandonment by
one faction or the other of the
attitude which II has assumed upon
the financial issue, and it does not
now seem probable that either will
yield in what each regards as an
issue of vital importance. The
silver Democrats who constitute by
far the largest faction of the party
propose to fight the campaign of
1900 upon financial lines, as staked
out by the Chicago convention, and
the honest-money or gold Demo-
Gratis who bank upon principle in
stead ofupon party expediency can
not So stultify themselves as to enter
any deal for harmony which would
involve an entire abandonment of the
course which they mapped out at
indianapolis in 1896. However
great may be Hills desire for har-
mony, it does not now look as
though mutual concessions can be
made to that extent which would
enable the two factions to meet
upon Common ground.

AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE NOTES.
How Shall we Stamp Out TuberCu-
IoSiS in our Herds?


The efficiency of the tuberculin test
in recognizing tuberculosis, both in
its incipient and we'll developed stages
is now unquestioned. AS means of
diagnosis, it is so far superior to any
previous method that its use is now
regarded as essential by all progress
i've veterinarians. 1t detects dis
eased condition long before any physi-
cal symptoms are apparent. A react
ing animal of this sort though tuber-
culous might remain in the herd for
considerable time and still be regarded
as perfectly healthy, but in great
many cases it is center Of contagion,
and from such an one the seeds of the
disease are sown throughout the re-
mainder of the herd. Herein lies the
great advantage of the tuberculin
test as it permits of recognition of
the disease sufficiently early to pre-
vent further spread if proper meas
ures are at once instituted.
The extensive use of the test has
revealed the fact that considerably
larger percentage of animals react
than were previously supposed to be
diseased. Many of these animals re-
main in apparent health for years and
most important question is, What
shall be done with those that are only
slightly affected? Shall the disease be
stamped out" by wholesale slaughter
of all that react, or shall intelligent
measures be taken to check further
spread and utilize the least affected
animals under proper restrictions?
Serious attempts have been made in
certain parts Of the country to eradi-
cate the disease by destroying all re-
| acting animals. Such course is un-
doubtedly too drastic, and it has met
with persistent opposition. 1t is a
question whether such methods are
warranted or not. Certainly, such a
course is sure to defeat the We y end
desired, i. e., the cooperation of all in
eradlcating the disease.
There is nothing that would be
more beneficial to the stock interests
of the country than the wide spread
application Of the test, but it is hardly
possible to hope for such an extension
where such severe measures are ap
piied.
From experiments already made
under different auspices, 1t is evident
that the progress Of the disease can bC
stopped by the isolation Of all reactinG
animals. The least affected animals
can with care be used Cor breeding
purposes, and il the calves are separ
ated at birth and fed on boiled o.
pasteurized milk, it is possible within
a relatively short time, to build up
strictly healthy herd from affected
parents. Under these conditions
valuable animal in herd even though
| she reacts to the test often may b

1t has been stated in the news
papers that president Mckinley
while DESTROYS of taking some action
looking 10 tie cessation of the Cuban
war and the independence of the
island, is anxious TO avoid giving to
Spain any occasion for offense.
This fear of war may even deter lie
president from signing the Morgan
resolutions securing belligerent
rights to the insurgents. In times
of popular excitement it is fortunate
for nation to have men at the head
of administrative affairs eminent for
wise and conservative craftsmanship,
men, cool, deliberate but cour-
ageous, who have an adequate idea
of the gravity of the situation, and
are considerate of the consequences
of national action.
War in some of its aspects is not
pleasant pastime. Cold lead in
the stomach is not conducive to q
healthy digestion; a bursting bomb
shell rs liable to occasion rents on a
soldiers uniform or cause damage to
his ribs. There are several other in
conveniences and unpleasant acces-
series to "horrid war;" But honor
able war is better than dishonorable
peace, and resort to arms viii bring
more speedy and effective issue
than selfish diplomacy. In this
particular case, war with Spain
would not be very distasteful to
Americans. 1t would accord very
well with the disposition every
peaceable man has to give bully a
good thrashing on general princi-
pies" Spain has a history both
cruel and treacherous. The Spaniard,
in all his conflicts in America, has
proved himself an inhuman wretch.
His savagery has been infinitely
more savage than that of the I'M
tutored children of the forest. In
Cuba, too, the Spaniards have been
equal to their ancestral fame for
brutality. A war with Spain on
this account would be a popular
policy. "Let us have peace"-in
Cuba, even at the price of war with
Spain.
