ACCIDENTS FREQUENT
They Are Becoming More So Every
Year-No Help, But Be
Prepared.

Very few people stop to consider how
accidents are increasing every year
This is caused from the fact that this
is fast age. People would not be sat
isfied il the railroads run their trains
at the same speed as they did ten OF
twenty years ago. There is an in
creasing demand for speed and on
every hand you hear the cry, faster,
faster. When safety is sacrificed for
speed one must be prepared for the
number of accidents that one hears OF
every day. You can hardly look at q
paper without seeing the account of
q railroad wreck or some other serious
accident. During the months of jan
uary and February Of this year there
were 4,529 people killed and 2,144 seri-
ously injured in travel accidents alone
The street cars Of our country kin
about 1900 people every year. to say
nothing of the number who are In
jured Life insurance companies
claim that about eleven per cent of
their death losses are caused by acci-
dents. This does not seem possible,
but OF course they have the statistics
which show the facts.
1T is useless to kick about the rail-
roads being careless. They are doing
the best they can under the circunav
stances. One must make up his mind
that this Is the result of conditions of
the age and be prepared to take the
consequences.

nished by providing for taking the air
from the floor of the stable and bringing
in air near the ceiling in such a way
as to avoid drafts.
One of the most effective germ de-
stroyers is sunlight. Hence 1t Is folly
to build a COW stable without plenty of
windows.
Calf cholera is a stable disease, hence
the necessity of cleanliness in the
stable and the disinfection of the newly
born calf by methods we have frequently
pointed out in The Ranch. Prevention
in this case is the only cure.
The most profitable dairy requires
as large a herd as can be MIXED with
out hiring special labor. Without
herd of considerable size we can not
profitab1y use the silo or the power
separator. It is no more trouble to
market 100 pounds of cream per day
than twenty-five pounds. The larger the
herd the more danger from contagious
diseases. Hence it must be prevented
if possible by growing your own COWS
or purchasing only those that have not
been affected with or exposed to the
contagion. In short these diseases
which cause such extensive losses from
year to year in the dairying districts
are due mainly to the lack of mainten-
ance Of sanitary conditions and this is
due to the lack of education as to the
requirements of animals in the way of
sunlight and fresh air.

THE DAIRY
Securing Butter Stamp.

In the May 18th issue of The Ranch,
the editors answered query regarding
the proper method of securing a state
butter stamp. 1t seems that in one or
two particulars the instructions were
not exactly correct, and L. Davies, the
Washington state dairy and food COM
missioner, has been kind enough to
furnish us with the following correct
instructions:
Should the dairymen desire a state
butter brand it is necessary to first
send a one pound sample of butter to
the dairy and food commissioners, 51S
Hinckley Block Seattle, Wash, and if
the butter scores the necessary 90 points
an application for stamp will be for
warded him from this office. The ap-
plicant will then forward the applica-
ton, together with $1.70, to the COM
missioner at Davenport, Wash, and the
stamp will be forwarded at once. Should
the butter not score 90 points, the
sender thereof will be duly notified and
suggestions made as to the trouble
with the butter sample and manner of
improving the output.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1907-06-15
Prevention VS.. Cure.

1t is an old and true saying that an
ounce of prevention is worth pound
of cure. This is particularly true OF
the disease of dairy cattle. The three
diseases that cause the greatest loss
in the dairy are tuberculosis, contagious
abortion and calf cholera. These dis
eases may all be prevented to very
great extent if the farmer will allow
his cows to remain out of doors all the
year around; will keep only a small
herd and have his calves come only in
the summer in the pastures.
The only trouble about this method
of prevention is that under such con-
ditions there is no profit in the bust
ness If the dairy COW is to earn
profit she must be housed, and that
in a clean and warm stable; must have
access to sunlight; and must be fed
a reasonably we'll balanced ration.
When the farmer begins to either
build houses for his family or stables
for his COWS he generally thinks only
of securing warmth, and makes no pro-
vision for sunlight or ventilation. The
result is the increase of consumption
in the human family and tuberculosis,
which is the same thing, in the COW
stable. An unventilated, poorly lighted
