Treating Blnoh-iog in ohlahoma.

A bulletin from the Oklahoma sta
ton says; Black-leg is one of the most
important diseases among cattle in
Oklahoma and Is commonly known as
black-leg or black-quarter. The dis
ease may assume number OF forms
but usually is noticed as local SWELL
Ing in either the front or hind limb.
This swelling contains gas which
causes q cracking sound when
the hand is passed over the
swelling. The swelling Is at first
hot and painful but after the gas
begins to form y is not sensitive and
the skin becomes dry and parchment
like. The disease is one common to
young cattle and is rapidly fatal, death
generally occurring in from twelve to
thlrty-siX hours after the first symp-
toms are noticed,
There Is no successful medical treat
ment for the disease. Vaccination Is
now recognized as the most successful
way to prevent the disease. The neces-
sary apparatus, which consists OF
hypordermic syringe, small porcelain
mortar, glass rod and filter funnel, can
be purchased from any instrument
dealer for three or four dollars. With
this apparatus any careful individual
can do the work successfully, The ex-
pertinent station at saltwater Is pre-
pared to furnish small amount OF
vaccine, with full instructions for us
Ing, to parties who need 1t for their
own use and who will supply them
selves with the necessary Instruments
for doing the work.

A Washington, d. g., correspondent
Of the Farmers Review writes: Tho
department of agriculture has recently
been preparing some matter on cream
separation by dilution. The various
gravity or dilution separators placed
upon the market have caused consid-
cradle general discussion OF the sub
ject and at the New York Cornell sta
tlon the subject Of patents on these
"separators" was investigated and
practical trials were made OF several
Of them. In all Of the cans the separa-
ton OF cream depends upon gravity, and
the designation Of them as separatorS
Is misleading inasmuch as that term 10
by common usage applied to contriv-
ances in which the cream is separated
by centrifugal force. II is stated that
the patents granted on these cans
cover unimportant details OF construc-
ton, and that anyone desiring to use
this process OF doubtful utility Is free
to do so without let or hlndrance from
the holder Of any patent-rlght what
ever"
In the practical tests at the Cornell
station, dllution with water between
so and 60 degrees Fair, gave results
approximately the same as those OBJ
tained by deep setting In Ice water with
q Cooley can. With milk from cows
comparatively fresh, cold, deep setting
gave considerably better results than
the dllutlon method. After q two

COILS, SECRETARY.

How n Raise Was MIdo TO His Salary
The Chicago News OF late date
gives currency to the following story;
A few years ago Coils P. Huntington's
private secretary, Mr.. Miles, asked for
an increase Of salary. do you need
any more money!" asked Mr., Hunt
ington, thoughtfully. mo, sir, don't
exactly need It," replied Mr.. Miles,
"but still I'd be glad to be getting IA
little more" "Ah-hum-m-m," unused
his employer, "can you get along with
out the advance for the PRESENT." "Oh,
yes" answered the secretary, 81 guess
So" and the matter was dropped, A
couple Of years later new boy ap-
peared at the Miles home and the
secretary thought the time propltlous
to renew the application. why my
dear sir" said Mr.. Huntington, when
he heard him through, II raised your
salary when you asked me before" II
never heard anything about It," said
the secretary, in amazement. "Proba-
bly, not" returned Mr.. Huntington; "in
fact used that money to buy piece
Of property for you. ~ just let 1t
stand for while IL were you" Mr..
Miles thanked him warmly and retired,
somewhat mystifled. Recently Mr..
Huntington called him into his private
Office. "By the way, Miles," he said,
II have sold that real estate Of yours
at a pretty good advance. Here Is the
check" The amount was $4,000. The
property was part of large section
purchased by the railway king as an
investment for his wife.

rIsonnea OF shecp In Germnny.

Consul Pitcairn, at Hamburg, reports
to the State Department an interest
ing resume of the sheep and wool In
dustry in Germany. The average loss
to German farmers, he says, in the last
twelve years, caused by the falling off
in sheep breeding, amounted annually
to $4,000. The number of sheep has
decreased 100000 head, causing
thereby meat-value loss Of $5,712,0OD.
In 1894 Germany imported 1880, 900
pounds of wool and produced $4,000, 900
pounds. In 1898 she imported $50, $780,
900 of wool, practically none of which
was from this country. Does not
this" he concludes, look like a pos.
slble opening for American wool?"

The Arizona Sentinel gives the fol-
lowing account of new industry to
be started near Guaymas: "Ths egret
is tropical bird of the heron family,
and is found In great abundance near
the mouth of the Colorado river. They
have white crest on the head, the
feathers OF which are valued at $50 an
ounce. 1t has been figured out that
twenty birds will yield an ounce OF
feathers twice a year, or ten birds Will
yield an ounce Of feathers every year,
which would be 1872 year for ten
birds. The birds have been, and are
being, killed for their feathers, and
as a consequence they will soon be
extinct. Charley proposes to fence 100
acres of marshy land along the river
bottom, near Yuma, and domesticate
the egret. He thinks this could be
done by clipping their wings lie has
several birds in his possession now,
and they seem to stand captivity well,
and are easily tanned, The scheme Is
feasible"

It was hardly to be supposed that
the poultry business would come into
the sphere of great commercial move
ments and concentrations, But some
thing Of this nature seems 70 have
taken place in Europe. Within few
years there has been a marked tend
ency to eliminate the small poultry
enterprises and supplant them with
large ones. Some capitalists have been
buying poultry in Italy, taking It to
Belgium and parceling 1t out in lots
of from 800 to 500 laying hens each.
The birds are kept for two years after
purchase, and thus two seasons egg
product is secured, after which tho
birds are fattened and sold for table
poultry. The importation begins in
May and continues till August, and
sometimes as late as September. They
have found by experience that birds
imported from October till April do
not stand the change we'll, as the
transference from sunny Italy to cold
and moist Belgium is too great for
them except under the most favorable
circumstances. When they are i'm
ported in the summer time they be-
come acclimated before winter sets In.
The variety Of birds mostly purchased
in Italy is Brown 'Leghorns. The
change seems to improve their egg pro-
duclng capacity, and eggs produced in
Belgium weigh more on the average
than eggs Of the same hens produced
In Italy.

The dairy propaganda seems to be
reaching out into all lands. Even
Tunis, ON the north coast Of Africa, Is
being considered as field for dairy
operations. A large amount Of dairy
products Is being brought into that
country, In which reside 10000 Euro
peans, Besides that population that
Is given to the consumption OF dairy
products there are numerous hotels
that entertain tourists by the thou
sands. Perhaps the dairy may prove
as benencent factor In that be-
nlghted land as 1t has proved In the
more enllghted countries Of the world.
1t was not a generation ago that Den
mark took up the question Of dalrylng
In earn est and now she has become the
leading dairy country Of the world, so
far as butter exports are concerned. We
may in the future have to meet n the
London market not only butter from
Denmark, France and Australia, but
also butter produced along the shores
Of the Mediterranean sea.

Another fraud In milk selling has
been discovered in England and We
may expect that in due time II will get
to this country. The authorities find
that in some of the English coast
towns what Is called milk extract Is
being sold to dairymon. This Is a
chemical possibly, but the reports are
not definite enough to indicate the
composition of the so-callod milk OK
tract. II 10 used by dalrymen to In
crease say 400 gallons OF milk to 500
gallons, hot water being added. Or
dlnarlly the adding Of hot water or
any other kind OF water can be easily
detected, but by the use of this powder
the milk and water incorporate so
thoroughly that the addition Is hard
to detect.

A "Babcock Shilling Fund" has been
started by the dalrymen Of New South

forwarded to Professor Babcock OF the

thank-oiferlng. AS many Of our read
ers know, Professor Babcock gave his
invention to the world, so that no man
ufacturer will ever be able to have n
monopoly Of the making and selling OF
the machines. For that reason many
firms make Babcock milk testers ana
the competition thus brought about
keeps the price down to the lowest
point that will admit OF profit Since
all that buy machines get them at n
greatly reduced cost on account Of the
generosity Of Professor Babcock In not
patenting his invention, the thank-of-
ferlngs that are occasionally sent him
meet the approval Of every man inter-
ested In dairying.
