Tuberculosis In Islrcs.

Poultry people are evidently to have
their share in the tuberculosis sensa-
ton. At recent meeting Of the U.
s. Veterinary Medical Association at
Bunalo. N. Y, there was q paper by
Dr. d. e. Salmon Of the u. s. Bureau
Of Animal Industry which treated prin-
cipally on tuberculosis In Birds, and
was pronounced one OF the most COM
plete and interesting ever prepared on
the subject. He quoted many foreign
authorities and said the disease was
transmissable from bird to man and
vice versa. The identity Of avian and
human tuberculosis ia we'll demonstrate
ed by Koch and other eminent investi-
gators. Parrots are very prone to con-
tract the disease, and 1t early affects

that human consumptives be KEEP,

Will nave to change some OF tnelr
present practices. According to the
reading Of paper at the British Dairy
Farmers Association conference,
Welsh butter is fearful compound.
Montgomeryshire was pointediy re-
ferred to. In that county the hold
ings are mostly small. and only q few
cows are kept on each; consequently
the butter is sent to market IN sma'i
quantities Of very variable Quahty'
THE butter SO brought" We are TOLD,

dirty hands. pack 1t in q rough ana
ready fashion into still dirtier boxes
and hampers-the good. bad, and indif-
ferent lots altogether-and consign 1t
to consumers in the large towns. wnere
1t is brought into competition with the
clean and neatly packed foreign but
ter" 1t is not to be wondered at that
Welsh butter has a bad name, and that
the price made for 1t Is 80 low. There
Is no doubt that in some parts OF
Wales 1t is difhcult to get butter and
produce to market, owing to the great
distance from q railway or large
towns. but that need not affect the
quality or cleanliness Of the butter. 1t
does appear to do SO. however. We
have heard this summer of English but
ter makers sitting in the markets. un-
able to sell 1t at Sd. per pound, whilst
In the shops in those towns Brittany
and Danish was being retailed at from
ls. to Is. I'd. There is something
dreadfully wrong when this Is the case.
Either quality is bad. or peoples tastes
have grown into . preference for the
blended and mild Brittany butter. or
the retailer will not trouble himself
to sell the English when the foreign
causes him less trouble in purchasing
and greater regularity Of sup
ply to customers. There In
said to be. lack of enter
prise on the part Of the Welsh produc-
ers in not sufficiently realizing the
necessity of making a better article.
But as q matter Of fact, they are be-
ginning to realize it. Only recently
Welsh farmers wives were lamenting
that they could not sell their butter
evea At Sd. per h.. and that a gen.
tleman who is making this article on
the best and most approved principle
is spelling the trade by making 1t diff
ficult to sell good, and impossible to
sell bad, butter at any price-the
standard Of quality being that Of the
Welsh dairy folks, though good might
not be considered SO by an expert
enced buyer or judge. Quality and
preparation for marketing Is what
Wales is deficient in, and 1t is the case
unfortunately in all parts of the king
dom. The difficulty might be got over
by the establishment of blending fac
tories, which could be put up for very
little money, and from them could be
sent butter of unvarying quality In
! quantities sufficient to induce the re-
taller to undertake it's distribution al
readily as he now does the foreign ar
ticle.
