LARGE DEMAND FOR HoRsEs.

LARGE DEMAND FOR HORSES.
DR.. E. Salmon, of the Bureau OF
Animal Industry. United States Agri-
cultural Department, asserts that
horse breeding is the most important
line of work in animal breeding which
his bureau has undertaken and that
the situation in the horse market dur
ing recent years has had great deal
to do with determining the lines of
work to be undertaken.
In reference to the increasing prices
of horses and the work OF his bureau
to relieve the present shortage in the
supply of good animals, the doctor
said:
From the years 1899 to 1904, inclu-
i've, there has been an increase, rang
ing from $40 to $35 in the average
prices for all classes of horses on the
Chicago market This shows what
always happens during period of
scarcity, namely, large increase in
the price of the best grades, the aver
age price of carriage horses ,increas-
ing $3.50 per head; but there is one
very remarkable feature in the
large increase in the prices
for the cheaper grades. Horses for
general use show the largest increase
of any, $35 per head bussers and
trammers have increased $25 per
head, and southern chunks $14
per head. The relative increase
in these CHEAP classes has
been crater than that of the better
ones, and the fact shows clearly that
the demand for horses has rapidly in
creased"
THE CELLAR AS A MILK ROOM.
1t is not always the most convenient
thing in the world for practical far
mer to build dairy house. His
dairy may not be large enough to
justify it and then again, he may
actually lack the necessary means.
The writer has seen cases like this
and furthermore had experince in
them, so he knows what it is. But
there are other ways by which to
solve the problem The cellar, for in
stance, will often answer for the pur-
pose. The essential part is that 1t has
a dry floor and is so ventilated as to
be exempt from any disagreeable or
earthly odor. Preferably. the floor
should be covered with cement. The
ventilation should be such, too that
the place can be shut up during the
day and opened at night as is desired;
this for the reason that the night air
is dry and cool, whereas that in the
day time being warmer, contains more
moisture and il allowed to enter the
cellar will there be deposited as dew
on the walls which are cooler. On this
account, opening doors and windows
too much during the day is often the
cause of many damp, unwholesome
house. How much more should 1t be
observed then, as regards a cellar
where milk is kept.-Written for The
Epitomist.

THE CAUSE OF GARGET.


All sorts of objections have been
urged against the cement floors for
COW stables, the most important one
being that such floors are slippery.
If they are built with the proper slope
and built the proper length so that
the excrements will fall beyond the
floors there is no reason why they
should be wet and slippery. OF
course, such floors are made so that
they are rather rough. this being
easily accomplished by the introduce
ton of considerable gravel in the &C.
ment mixture Lately several writ
ers have claimed that the udders OF
their cows were injured by coming In
contact with cold cement floors and
that, in some cases, garget resulted.
This is a serious statement and
doubtless has more or less truth in 1t.
1t is plain that in cold climate the
cement floor does get very cold, but
an abundance of bedding will easily
rectify that trouble Even II the ami

there is little danger. While there is
a possibility of such injury as stated.
it seems as If the bedding would over

have yet to discover an udder trouble

More than six thousand children under this age
have died in this city in one summer from diar-
rheal diseases. The large proportion of these
deaths. according 70 the Board of Health,
were due to the bacteria in milk. Dirt from
mems hands. clothing the udders and tails
bacteria. and a temperature of 80 degrees accel-
crates their propagation. They multiply most
rapidly at a temperature of 90 degrees and cease
to multiply az all at the freezing point They
multiply very little at 10 degrees Milk
tested under good conditions by the Health De-
partment contained Immediately after milking
800 bacteria in each drop. 1t was cooled to 45
degrees and the temperature maintained at this
point. After twenty-fou hours it contained in
each drop only 200 bacteria: after forty

ways of contamination. The average COW barn

Is New-York getting milk as pure It

s,rered IN the negative at any time since New
-srk has been dependent on a milk supply. A
sssplsy Of the evidence that the negative an

ssalers 10 book for the adulteration of milk. and
bss begun q more energetic campaign of educa-
,,,n among the producers. 1t IS probable that
isss adulterated milk is coming into New-York
nov than at any time before in the history Of
.ha milk business. While the conviction of a
dealer charged with selling adulterated milk and
,be assessment of a fine are not a pleasant ex-
,srience and can hardly fail TO have an effect on
she business Of the one found guilty. the revo-
,sfion OF q license to sell milk in the city. as
vas done the other day in the case Of the Met

Until the last summer of the railroads
were careless in handling milk and provided no
ice for it. 1t would reach the city at tenn
perature above 80 degrees The milk is on the
train only few hours, but in this time bacteria
may multiply millions of times. It has been
found that one germ will produce 2O0 in three

of the milk brought to New-York travels nearly
four hundred miles and is than twelve

Last summer Dr. Darlington, the President OF
the Health Board, warned the railroads in
personal letter that he would destroy all milk

TO Increase WOLF BOUNTY.
Eagle River A Sc 21bly 11au to Present
Bill Intended to save the
Deer.
Tomaha u X Leader:

TomahaTk Leader:
ASSEM- olyman Edward A.
Everett, representing Oneida,
Villas and Iron counties, III which
the best deer hunting in Misc
gonsi1 is to be found. is preparing
a bill to increase the wSlf bounty.
Wolves are multiplying SO rapid
3v in northern Wisconsin, and
across the line in northern Michi-
gan, that they threaten the ex-
termination of the deer unless
something is speedily done to
lessen their numbers. The bill
will probably provide that coun7
ties shall be empowered to III
crease the bounty upon wolves,
usirg a portion of the hunting
license fees in pay nent of the
bouuties. In some of the scou1l
ties.in northern Michigan there
is a heavy countv aua to wnship
bounty upon wolves, an addition
to the state bounty At present
there are number Of balls before
the Michigan legislature urging
an increase in the already heavy
bounty.
Reports from the woods arc
that many deer are being slaugh
tered by the Wolves. The deep
snow is making it possible for
the ravenous animals to easily
tovertake and kill the deer. The
carcasses are seen in all parts Of
the pineries. In some instances
they are eaten almost to the
bones. In other places the
wolves have killed one deer and
after slaughtering and appeas-
ing their apleti+es have pursued
Others and the half-eaten remains
lie IN the snow.
Wildcats are also killing many
deer.
