Many physicians are now prescrib-
ing Kodol Dyspepsia Cure regularly,
having found that it is the best pre-
scri ption they can write, because it is
the one preparation which contains
the elements necessary to digest not
only some kinds of food, but all kinds,
and therefore cures indigestion and
dyspepsia, no matter what it's cause.

THE KOCH SENSATION.
German intercollegiate TubercuIo-
sis Ideas Are Not Accepted by
the World of Science.

The statement of DR.. Robert Koch,
the eminent bacteriologist and physi-
clan, at the recent British congress on
tuberculosis, that human tuberculosis
and bovine tuberculosis were radically
different diseases has created stir
among physicians and dairymen. DR..
Koch said he has amply demonstrated
that cattle could not be infected with
human tuberculosis. The counter
proposition that human beings were
not liable to infection from bovine tu-
berculosis was harder to prove, but he
stated that personally he was salts
fed that this was the case. Post-mor-
tenn evidence supporting this belief
was recited at length. Human immu-
nifty from bovine infection disposes of
the belief ofinfection from dairy prod
ucts, and he considers this source of
danger so slight as to be unworthy of
precautionary measures. These state
ments, coming from the most eminent
authority living, carry much weight
and are greeted with much Joy by
dairymen, although they are not ac-
cepted by all scientists. Indeed, they
are bitterly repudiated by Virchow
and Others almost as prominent as
Koch, and the weight of professional
opinion in the United States will be
against Koch's latest views until they
are at least fully substantiated by ex-
perience.
The absurd positions which some of
our state boards of health and other
officials have taken regarding tubercu-
lous cattle are again emphasized, and
it is shown that there has been need
less slaughter of many animals. One
of the strongest props of pure milk
vendors and tuberculin users will be
knocked out from under them if Koch's
views are sustained-th milk from
infected COWS is not dangerous to use.
Already an agitation has been started
in some states to repeal existing laws
requiring the inspection and use of the
tuberculin test on cattle.
There is no need to go to the other
extreme and relax all vigilance in re-
spect to tuberculosis among cattle.
While a mild form of the disease does
not affect the general usefulness of an
animal, badly infected herd never
has and never can be profitable to the
owner, because of the large death rate
and great loss from diminished produc-
ton of sick animals. 1t is evident to
all that the most healthful surround
ings, cleanliness and best care of the
animals pays in increased production
and better general health of the herd,
and for this reason, if for no other, ali
badly affected animals should be dis
posed of. Dairymen and cattlemen
must come to look upon tuberculosis
in the same way as they do toward
lumpy jaw, anthrax and other con-
tagious diseases-that is disastrous to
the herd and Improbable to the owner.

Never use butter increaserS," for
anything that will recover the casein
as we'll as the fat from milk, is a fraud,
and the product is not butter. Never
milk in rusty tin pail, or put milk into
any receptacle that is rusty. Coloring
matter does not affect the wholesome
ness of butter. Never put ice into
cream to cool it. IF you let butter
freeze it will soon go off flavor. The
COW and not feed, gives the richness
TO milk. Ensilage does not affect the
quality of butter, though to very
highly cultivated taste it may slightly
flavor the butter. Milk contains from
four to five per cent. of sugar. Cream
is often kept too long in winter, and
poor butter is the result. A good
cheese ought to be one-third fat. Feed
the cow the same for cheese as you

up and down a few inches, so that
the feed can be shut off if desired, or
the spaces A and B can be adjusted

the grain dry. Sled-runners under

FAIR PROFIT IN VEAL.
A Source OF Income That Is Complete
ly Neglected by Many West
ern Dairymen.

Too many make a mistake in not
raising calves until of an age to sell
for veal. It is a question with me
whether it does not pay better to keep
calves until near Christi and then
sell. One thing is sure. Let farmer
once work up an honest trade for such
meat, and, like genuine fresh eggs or
gilt-edged butter, he could put on
stiff price and still find a ready mar
ket.
Most farmers in this section kill
their calves when day or two old, and
sell the hides for go cents or 81, accord
ing to size and weight, while the moth
er's milk must go to the pigs for some
time, as it is not fit for butter or
cheese. Now, why not adopt the prac-
tice that is beginning to come in vogue
here of feeding this milk to calves I'M
til fit for use anywhere, then giving
warm, sweet skimmilk with a little
finely ground grain mixed in as the
calf grows older? Soon one will have
an animal on hand with decided mar
ket value.
Calves must be kept dry if they are
to thrive. and a run on the ground in
the open air is as good for them as an
occasional tonic is for their owners.
My father always fed a little sulphur
about once a week, and never remem-
Der his losing a calf with the disease
called blackleg. A little salt in the feed
once in awhile is also good for them.
We turn them out into dry, we'll

am the youngest son of the 10

Bingen, and his wife Frau Maria.
My father adored music, and we were
taught to play on some instrument or
other, or else to sing, aud, by my
faith! hold we did considerable cred

was 16 my father presented me with
a fine old "Cremona," which | christ

ually became my lifelong friend and
companion.
Nothing gave me greater pleasure
than to take my dear violin into
the woods end there, by the murmul-

dreamily improvise new melodies and
vary old ones. So greatly did my faith
er delight in our accomplishments
that he organized an amateur concert

at least n quarter of the town assisted
to admire or criticise about as much
music as could he crowded into a
three hours performance, divided in
to two equal parts by tray of
light refreshments handed round by
Karl and myself.
One fine autumn afternoon, just as
our first sonata was concluded, q
very singular-looking individual en-
tered the concert room. He was as
thin and pale as an apparition and
entirely dressed in shabby garments
of light blue corduroy. His well-worn
knee breeches were blue, his Jacket
was blue, his vest was blue, and the
huge cravat that fastened his great
tapping shirt collar was also Of varied
aud faded shades of blue. He had a
big hooked nose. thin, hungry-looll.

features that he possessed were his
dark and intelligent eyes, and these
were hidden by pair of blue specta,

Pasture sheds for stock.

The observer, travelling through the
western states, will note with great
deal of wonder sometimes the number
of stock pastures without any shed or
covering for the stock. In pastures
where there is not a natural shade we
would by all means urge the erection
of at least temporary sheds. If these
are located upon little knobs about
the pasture, it will be not only saw
ing of feed, but also of flesh, as the
beasts will seek these sheds and rest
during the hottest part of the day. 1t
is unmerciful, to say the least, to not
provide sheds for stock that is turned
out into the open felds.-Prairie

HINTS FOR DAIRYMEN.

When cream is once ripened, it
should be churned without delay. The
more it sours, the more it deteriorates.
Milk will take up moisture and i'm
purities from the surrounding air
when its temperature is allowed to fall
below that of the room in which it is
kept.
Bad water will make bad milk no
matter what the food may be, and bad
milk viii make bad butter, no matter
what the handling may be, says the
New York Farmer.
The quality of the milk depends first
on the cows which produce it, second
upon the food and care of the animals,
and third on the management of the
milk after it has been produced.
