tiers which are not colored.
When failure to prevent the intro.
ducticn Of dodder seed occurs, the
destruction Of the plants becomes the
final resort. The questions of sue.
cess and the extent Of the necessary
damage to the crop at once arise.
Their answers rest with the kind of
crop infested, the stage of develop
ment of the dodder. the extent of the
attack, and the methods OF eradica-
ton employed.
The problem of dodder is strongly
Influenced by the character of the
crop infested. Red clover remains
but two, or at most but three. years
without reseeding. If the dodder Is
prevented from seeding it should be
eradicated within this time, or at least
should not interfere with the course
of crop rotation. Alfalfa should re-
main indefinitely, and if dodder re-
seeds itself its control becomes much
more difficult or impossible. This is
the prevailing condition in the west.
The fact that the small.seeded alfalfa
dodder of the west has not become
established in the east is of special
interest in this connection. Clover
dodder appears likely to prove most
troublesome in alfalfa culture in the
east.
If the dodder occurs only in patches
in the field it usually can be controll-
ed by hand methods. If it covers the
greater part or all of the field, plow-
ing under the stand will probably be
found necessary. 1t then becomes i'm
bortant to know how far the crop can
be utilized without reseeding the land
to dodder.
1t is first important to gain control
before the plants have spread far
from the point of attack; secondly,
and of greater Importance, they
should be subdued before they pro.
duce seed. Success therefore depends
very largely on early discovery of the
plants, followed by immediate work in
subduing them. Thoroughness invol.

Cutting and burning infested plants
and spraying them with copper sui

which have been employed. Spraying
has not proved successful as rule,
owing to the impossibility of thorough

TUBERCULOSIS A COMMON
DISEASE AMONG SWINE
Comparative Effects of Infected and
Pasteurixed Skim Milk When
Fed to Healthy Pigs.

tuberculosis Is OF frequent occur
renee in hogs, and, apparently, the
number of hogs so affected is on the
increase. So true Is this in some Sec
tons of the country that packers are
cautious about buying hogs from those
localities. The c. lsses of tuber-
culous animals are often so thoroughly
infected with the disease as to be un-
fit for food, and consequently are q
source of loss to the packer. Where
animals are slaughtered without be-
ing subjected to careful inspection the
diseased meat is very certain to be I'M
Willingly used for food. A knowledge
of the sources of infection is of pri-
mary Importance to those who must
undertake the responsibility Of check
ing it.
1t is known that the same bacillus
which produces tuberculosis in cattle
also produces the disease in hogs. The
exact extent to which cattle are the
cause of its presence among hogs Is,
however, not known. Naturally, milk
is commonly considered one of the
main carriers of the disease. Many in
stances can be cited of droves of hogs
fed at some time in their lives on
whole milk, skim milk or buttermilk
that when slaughtered have shown
large proportion infected with tuber-
culosis.
At present there is great deal Of
interest taken in all that concerns
milk as a source of tuberculous in
lection. The Importance of pasteur-
izing milk to be used for pig feeding
Is demanding considerable attention.
For the purpose of investigating
some phases of this subject directly
associated with the use of milk, an ex-
pertinent was undertaken by the Iowa
Agricultural college, under the direc-
