tuberculosis In Vermont.s

1t Is believed by mary that the way the
state filcisls are trying TO stamp out tub
ereulosis IN cows Is little too heroic, say
age and bal barous, something like the e.
forts once made to stamp out heresy smorg
the people. Many think little preventive
will be better than the cure they are try.
Ing. I'll s well to learn the cause or causes
Of the disease, ard then to so act as to
prevent the cattle taking II. Too close in
breeding, too close stable and lack Of tYer.
else are believed to be the causes Of the
disease.
One hundred years ago tuberculosis
among cattle was unknown. Cattle then
often ran In the woods and to the straw
stack. They had the fresh, pure air to
breathe. IL has been learned that consump-
tive people do much better when outdoors
breathing pure air. Will II not be Just as
BENEFICIAL for the diseased cattle? The old
people say that II the cows that have beer
destroyed had been turned onto the noun.
tain In lots, a large share Of them would
have come up cured in the fall For the
year ending June 80, 1902, there were 49,
400 cows tested In Vermont, and 974 were
found diseased, and were destroyed, the
state paying for them Sl4,4G9 So Vermont
had January /, 10 o, 26s $50 cows and 1927
450 other cattle, in Gil 40l 1886. II those
that were not tested had the disease in the
same proportion as those that were tested,
1t can be seen how many would have been
destroyed.
II competent persons were appointed in
every town to see that the cows were pro-
perly cared for 1t would be much better
than the cure that 10 practiced. 1.-THE con-
sumptive people should die to-day would
the disease be stamped out?

That Two Cow to the Acre,

without wishing 20 depi eciste the value
of the example set by the Rev. J. d. Diet
rich In intensive farming, we think little
too much fuss has been raised about his
achievement ard we object to the headline
Of the "Two Cow to the Acre" farm used
80 generally BY the agricultural press when
writing about his truly wonderful feat.
The fallacy Of this claim was pointed out
editorially in Vol. Kill, No. s, page 2, and
we now notice that the reverend farmer
bought on an average for $500, commercial
feeds In addition to what was produced on
the Is acres, and this enables US to make
an attempt to show how much land he real
ly used to feed COW.
Valuing the land originally at 800 per
acre we charge IS per acre rent and allow
Sll per acre for cost Of manure, seed, GU
tivation and harvesting making cost OF
SIC as the total Expense Of producing feed
from an acre. While this is obviously
loose estimate we believe 1t will be deemed

may be objected that the dealers prof
should be considered, let US say that the
product Of an acre Is worth $2G &c Instead
Of SIC, the cost Of production, and we yet
have to add 10 acres for the boughten feed
In which case 1t would be inst one acre to

opinion, Is reasonable and possible stan
