Tuberoulous MIX and Children.

William Leland Stowell Of New
York describes the results OF the
feeding OF the children Of some Of the
wards Of the City Hospital for Chill
dren on Wards Island on milk from
a city herd that was afterward as
certained to be tuberculous. The
herd was tested and all the animal
in 1t had to be killed, as the To-
showed some degree of tubercplods
infection in all. All the children who
had been fed on this milk we're test
ed by the ophthalmo-reaction, n in
all. OF these 10 reacted; 10 were
surgical cases Of tuberculosis, aId 3
were not suspected of tuberculosis.
The author concludes that fresh,
clean milk Is more wholesome than
pasteurlzed milk. The danger Of In
lection from tuberculous \ milk is
very slight. Less than 10 per cent
mortality in the whole hospital was
due to tuberculosis.-Med Re

Plow Points.

The best potato soil, deep, friable,
we'll drained and retentive of moist
ure. 1t is best to avoid either a heavy
clay or a very light, sandy soil, and
stony land makes planting and cult
walton both expensive and difficult.
The presence of decaying organic
matter in the soil furnishes valuable
plant food, and at the same time in
creases the water-holding capacity.
Generally, a northern slope is better
than a southern one, excepting when
grown for early use, as a southern
exposure during hot, dry season Gre
ates intense heat and thus badly in
lures the crop.
Regularity in feeding is important
In keeping horses in good condition.
A horse not working should have a
lighter ration than one that works,
but the rations should be given at a
regular time each day-not three
mealS to-day because he is working,
and two meals tomorrow because he
is kept in the stable.
Breeding from stock that is imma-
ture is a good way to degenerate the
offspring, and also to gradually de-
terlorate their growth, size, develop
ment and vitality.
Even though 1t costs a trifie more.
a superior article of salt should be
used in the dairy, as it has consider
able to do with both the quality and
the keeping properties of butter.
There is an old and true saving
that love lightens labor" When we
take an interest in our work the
hardness of it is half overcome. Dairy
ing is much harder work that poultry
keeping, but II man has no love for
poultry keeping and does the work
only because he has to 1t is more
laborious than working in a dairy.
The difference very much depends
upon the state Of mind in which we
view them.
A colt has a small stomach and a
big appetite, but its digestion is not
as strong as that of a grown horse.
Therefore It is important that It be
fed more concentrated and more cas-
lily digested food than that given a
mature horse.
There is a better chance for having
strong progeny If the brood sows have
plenty of exercise.
Regularity in feeding and milking
the COWS is very important. Both
should be done at regular set hours
each day, as COWS quickly form hab-
its, and any delay is apt to cause wor-
riment, which will mean a lessening
Of the product in the pail.

Pasture Pointers.

Good grazing is the bedrock OF lie
stock growing. Do not spend money
for well bred animals and neglect the
pasture, the very thing that VIII give
them health and development at triV-
ial cost.
No Southerner should be satisfied
with a pasture that furnishes good
grazing only half the year. Make
use of a mixture of pasture plants.
Let the stock feast on succulent pas
turage most of the year. The stock
will make more immediate profit a2d
the land will be built up faster.
Look over the pasture carefully
from time to time during the year,
learn where the unproductive spots
are and make them productive. II
you do not know how, find out. Leav-
ing them unproductive is to lose that
much pasturage and also to have the
land depreciate where the barrenness
exists.
Watch any hogs or sheep that may
have the luxury of an early bur
clover pasture, or any other early
leguminous pasture plant. They will
make very rapid growth and at al
most no cost. After once watching
such development as will take place,
no further argument will be needed
to improve the pasture.
1t sometimes seems that the harder
man has to work to make a crop
the more he values the crop. The
rule is to waste money in fighting the
grass of the cotton and corn fields
instead Of giving the grass a field in
which to grow into money. The large
scale on which this is done is too
much like fighting the friend nature
has given us when we should let that
friend cooperate with US for our
profit.
Put the intensive idea to work on
your pasture; get much feed from a
small acreage.
Keep weeds out Of the pasture.
Cut them down often If necessary.
Running sheep or goats in the pas
ture may obviate the necessity Of cut
ting the weeds.
Southern farmers are showing keen
interest in whatever will make their
plowed crops yield better, but they
are giving little thought to their pas
turage-the very thing that would
help them to solve the labor problem
and to get a reasonable profit with
much certainty.
If she would, the South could make
more easy money from pastures than
any other section Of the United States.
Her lands are cheap and the pastur-
age season can by the use of a proper
mixture of pasture plants be made
very long, In the Gulf States, an
average of not less than ten months
pasture per year could be reckoned
on; and the pasture season would
gradually grow shorter as one moved
