Cause of Cattle Manne.

A government bulletin says: Scab-
les, or mango, of the OK is a
contagious disease caused by a para
site mite. Cattle are affected with
two varieties of these parasites, which
belong to the class Arachnidae. The
Psoroptes communis var, novis, is the
one which most frequently affects
them. 1t lives on the surface of the
skin and gives rise to great irrita-
ton and itching by biting, and is
most frequent upon the lateral aspect
of the neck and shoulders, at the
base of the horns, and the root of the
tail. From these points it spreads to
the back and sides, and may invade
nearly the entire body. It's principal
manifestations are more or less num-
erous pimples, exudations, and abund-
ant scaling off, or desquamation, of
the skin, falling out of the hair, and
the formation of dry gray-brownish
scabs. In the course of time the
skin becomes thickened, stiff, wrin-
killed., and acquires the consistency of
leather. When mango has spread
animals lose flesh and become weak
and anemic, rendering them constitu-
tionally less able to withstand or
combat the effects of the mites. At
the same time the decreased vigor
and lessened vitality of the affected
animals favor the more rapid multiple
cation of the mites and the further ex.
tension and intensification of the dis
ease. Thus we have cause and effect
working together, with the result
that scabies, or mango, in cattle may
in some cases prove fatal; especially
are fatal Examinations liable to occur
In the latter part of a severe winter
among immature and growing ami
mails, or those of adult and full age
when in an unthrifty condition at the
time of becoming infected. There
have been noticed variations in the
progress of the disease depending
upon extreme ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
in winter alternating with improve
ment in summer.

Feeding the Dams.

With regard to the grains best suit
ed to the nourishment of the female
while carrying the young, it is only
necessary to say that these should,
for the most part, be rich in protein
These foods help to build muscle and
keep the nervous system in vigor-
GUS condition, and hence the foetus
is more likely to be well nourished
and be strong and healthy. Carbohy-
drate foods, such as corn meal and
other starchy products, should be
avoided for reasons in opposition to
those already advanced. Foods thus
have very important influence, not
only on the health of the dam, but
on the development of vigorous off
spring, and the nourishment of the
female should receive more considera-
ton at the hands of the average
breeder. 1t would not be difficult
matter to provide an abundance of the
most useful foods If more care and
forethought were given to the rota-
ton practiced on the farm, and the
benefits accruing to the breeder are
such that he can well afford to adapt
his rotation to the best needs of his
stock. The Importance of nourish-
ment to the dam so as to produce a
strong, vigorous foetus is not gen.
orally recognized. While the size of
the foetus is probably controlled by
the dam, its after development de
ponds largely on its proper nourish-
ment before birth, and that the dam
should be literally fed is clearly ap-
parent, for in most instances she is
not only expected to be a productive
factor, either in the field or at the
milk pail, but to provide plenty of
nourishment for her young as well.
Where an animal is expected to do
double duty the food supplies must
be liberal or else one or both of these
duties will be inadequately performed
with disastrous results in the case of
the young. For example, if a mare
is overworked, so much of the en-
ergy of the mother is used up that
the foetus necessarily suffers, and so
instead of growing and developing
uniformly and being strong and Wig
orous in every respect, it is perman-
entity stunted and injured, and this
will be evident throughout it's whole
life.-Prof. A. M. Soule.

Agricultural College Cows.

1t it with pleasure that we note the
addition of twenty high-bred cows 10
the herd of the California Agricultural
College. This will give them thirty
COWS in all, representing the three
breeds, Holsteins, Jerseys and Guern-
seys. Lack of good cows is one of the
chief deficiencies in the equipment Of
many of our agricultural colleges. In
the past the appropriations have been
so small that the funds have been
barely sufficient to pay the charges
of the instructors and keep up the
buildings. The live stock departments
have been the last to receive atten-
ton. Probably this could not be help
ed. But it is hoped that the day of
inferior herds at the fountain head of
our dairy instruction is passed There
are several other colleges that need
better dairy herds than they have at
present The students should have
before them the best types of COWS
and abundant opportunity to see the
good and bad points of the various
dairy breeds. It is not enough that
one dairy breed be represented. All
dairy breeds should have their repre-
sentatives at the agricultural college.
otherwise the student will have a
one-sided education in this regard. and
he will go from college prejudiced in

Invention of separators.

]. H. Monrad in New York Produce
Review says: professor harrington
writes in the Farmers Sentinel, MIL
waukee, Wis, an article on the eVoiu-
tion of the separator as follows: one
of the first applications of this princl-
pie to cream separation was made by
a Massachusetts man in about 1910.
He placed graduated glass tubes hlled
with milk in pockets something Ike
those now used in the Babcock mix
tester and whirled these tubes IN
machine constructed for the purpose
After whirling about twenty minutes
the thickest of the cream was meas
ured in each tube. This machine was
designed to be used as cream tester
for milk. 1t was, however, pattern
for the first commercial cream sep
arators, which were constructed on
the same plan, excepting that pans
holding fifty to sixty pounds OF mix
were substituted for the glass tubes
1t seems Professor Harrington over
looks the fact that it was Prof. Z. j.
Fuchs of Germany who suggested the
use of centrifugal force in testing
milk as early as 1859 and that in 1864
Antonin Prandtl of Munich expert
mented with raising cream by placing
small cylindrical vessels with milk IN
an ordinary centifuge. Furthermore,
it was, according to Ed. Burnette,
about 1870 when Rev. H. F. Bond OF
Massachusetts made his experiments
with two glass jars attached to spin
die making 200 revolutions. Let us
give the honor where it is due, that is,
to Germany, not only for originating
the idea, but also for the first use Of
a separator (crude as it was) in a
commercial creamery"
