TUBERCULAR BACILLI.
Martyr to incubation Theory Proves
That They Can Be Transmitted
from Cows to Men.

The announcement made by DR..
Koch, the famous German bacteriol-
ogist, at the London tuberculosis
congress that human beings could
not be inoculated with tubercular
bacilli from animals was naturally
received with much incredulity by
physicians in all parts of the world.
1t was well known at the time that
Prof. Koch's conclusions were based
upon experiments upon the lower
animals, which appeared to indicate
that animals could not contract con-
sumption from human beings. With
out having made any experiments
upon human beings ut the time he
boldly concluded that the reverse of
the proposition was also true-that
human beings could not contract
tuberculosis from animals.
To prove the truthf,,lness or falsity
of this deduction it was manifestly
necessary to inoculate human be.
ing with the tubercular bacilli from
lower animal. To test the theory
of DR.. Koch young woman OF
Brooklyn less than a year ago sub.
mitted to incubation with bovine
bacilli of consumption by we'll
known physician of that city, who
not only desired to prove the incor
rectness of DR.. Koch's contention bu,
to demonstrate that consumption in
it's earlier stages could be cured b,
inhalation of a indicated air. The
woman soon developed all the symp
toms of genuine tuberculosis, an6
never enjoyed good health at an,
time after being inoculated. She
finally died, a martyr to the Kocl
theory of incubation, although hel
death by no means demonstrated tn,
incurability of consumption.
The result of the experiment, with
out any reference to its ethical as
poets, is important and must have {
far-reaching influence upon state ant
municipal authorities in their effort.

steady Production Counts.

From testing the best milking COWS
are found out, and it is wonderful how
animals are discovered to be good
mixers when whole twelvemonth
is taken. which yet have never yielded
G very large quantity at one time,
while, on the other hand, animals
which have yielded an enormous guam
THY over short time and have had
great notice taken of them are really
poor mixers where their total yield
for u months is summed up. The
COW that yields moderate quantity
over nine, ten or eleven months is the
sort ia have to breed from, and it is
only by record that this is found out.
In addition to this, the quality Of the
milk must be taken into account, and
it is desirable to test this from time
to time ALSO 49, ~.

gree. The next point is uniformity
and similarity of animals on both
sides.
In the selection of herd, the third
phase is to choose few each year
from among those cows you have,
and weed them out, selecting a few
from outside superior to those you
propose to let go. To make selec-
lions in your own herd, it is neces-
sary to keep daily record and to
make frequent tests of the milk. Dis
pose Of those not making a salts
factory profit. At the Connecticut
experiment station it costs about s42
a year to keep a COW, here about
$50. In order to pay for this feed,
cow must be capable of making
300 pounds of butter per year. The
average of the herd ought to be $50
pounds, and 400 pounds is possible
with care and selection. Too many
farmers don't know which cows are
making profit and which a loss.

l will give as brief description of
the manner of making as possible.
For room of any size make bottom

start, cut flooring enough for first
course, the width of the room is to be

lay them down IS inches apart, and
on them lay two thicknesses of best
odorles building paper, and on these
strips nail the flooring. Turn the
floor over, SO naked strips will be
uppermost (the strips are three
inches shorter all around than the
focring). Now put on two more
thicknesses of paper and lay on
flooring flush with strips. Cut an
other set of strips three inches short
er than the floor you now have; lay
on these two more thicknesses of
paper, and put on a last course of
flooring.
You now have two perfect dead-air
spaces, which are better noncon-
ductors than any filing, and will al

SELECTION OF cows.
Prof. r. S. Cooley Points Ont Three
Phases That Must BE Care
fully Considered.

There are three phases to be con.
sidered in this choosing COW, said
Prof. S. F. Cooley at recent in
stitute at the Massachusetts agri-
cultural college. First, l would Sc
lect the COW as an individual, with
out reference to antecedents and rec
ords. The most important indication
of good cow is her udder. No COW
can make much milk without capa-
cious udder. This is not measured
so much by it's vertical diameter as
by it's length as measured by the at
tachment to the body. 1t should ex-
tend well forward and far back or up
ward between the legs, and should
be wide at the same time, but not
necessarily pendulous. The next point
to be considered is the barrel. The
cow must have big body, which is
her workshop or laboratory.
Those features that indicate a good
breeder or mother should come next.
She should be wide through the
hips and large and roomy in the
hind quarters. The fourth point to
be considered is the forequarters,
and here she should be rather thin
and sharp, of spare flesh, loosely put
together, with chin a little sharp.
The neck should be sharp, and rath-
er loosely put on the shoulders, and
the head long. Lastly should come
the superficial points, such as good
milk veins, escutcheon, fine hair and
loose skin. The udder, barrel, pelvic
region, fore quarters and superficial
points should be considered in this
order, but most buyers begin with
| the last, and seldom get as far as
the udder.
The second phase of the selection
has to do with the pedigree. A ped
igree of the right sort should be g
record of ancestry that includes ami
mails of superior merit close up. The
mother of the cow should be a supe
rior animal, and of the type which
you wish to perpetuate. The moth
err of the cows sire should be tn,
same. If they are mediocre, yol

Negro Cattle Thieves.

and a brindle bull into town and
offered them for sale. They asked

but finally agreed to sell for $12,
Mr.. Newly was satisfied they were
stolen and tried to hold them until
he could get an officer by delaying
payment, but they were very suspi-
cious and one of them seemed much
frightened. Mr.. Newly told them
to put them in the lot and wait till
he went to the bank and get the
money. One of them left without
waiting for his pay, the other re-
