ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF AMI
NAL TUBERCULOSIS.

DR.. A. D. Melvin, Chief of the Blu
reau of Animal Industry of the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture,
in an address before the International
Congress on tuberculosis at Washing
ton, said, in part:
While the saving of human life af-
fords the highest motive for combat
ting tuberculosis, the prevention OF
financial loss Is alone a sufficient rea-
son for undertaking the eradication OF
the disease from farm animals. Sta
tistics of the United States Federal
Meat Inspection for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1908, covering $685.
337 animals, or more than one-half of
all those slaughtered for food in the
country, show the following percen-
tages of tuberculosis: Adult cattle,
O.961; calves, OOPS; hogs, 2.049; sheep
anu goats, 0.
Reports of tuberculin tests made in
the Is years from 1893 to 1908 by Fed
eral, State and other officers with
tuberculin prepared by the Bureau OF
Animal Industry have been carefully
analysed and tabulated. Out of 4OO,-
900 cattle tested (mostly dairy cattle)
there were $1,000 reactions, or 9.25
per cent.
From these two classes of statistics
it is concluded that on an average
about 10 per cent of the mich cows,
per cent of other cattle and 2 per cent
Of the hogs in the United States are
affected with tuberculosis, the aver
age percentage for all the cattle being
estimated at 3.5. The accuracy Of the
tn oerculin test has been confirmed in
a remarkable way by post-mortem ex-
aminations. Properly prepared tuber-
culin applied by competent person is,
therefore, shown to be a wonderfully
reliable agent for diagnosing tubercu-
losis.
The economic loss on account of tu-
berculosis in food-producing animals is
heavy. The loss on animals in which
tuberculosis is found in the Federal
meat inspection is estimated at ST.
1872, annually, and if the same con-
ditions were applied to animals slaugh-
tered without Federal inspection the
annual loss on all animals slaughtered
for food in the United States would
be increased to $4,102,433 The stock
of animals on hand is also deprecated
in value because of tuberculosis. AS
Stunning that living tuberculous mich
COWS are annually deprecated to the
extent of one-tenth of what the loss
would be if they were slaughtered,

HOW TO HANDLE SICK STOCK.

By DR.. David Robert

Place the sick animal in well dis
infected and dry box stall with plenty
of bedding and sunlight (avoid drafts
In cold weather place blanket on the
animal, feed sparingly with digestible
food, such as bran mashes made of lin
seed tea; keep manger sweet and
clean. Water should be pure and clean,
an warmed when necessary.
1t is always necessary for new mich
COWS to be given warm water. An in
lection of warm water (per rectum)
should be given all sick animals, ex-
cepting those afflicted with looseness
of the bowels.

What The Ranch had to say regard
ing the livestock industry has proved
a great advertisement for the Okanogan
country and there have been a good
many more buyers from the Sound
country, but the price paid to the pro-
Queer has remained low, varying dur
ing the summer and fall from $2.25 to
1926 or $2.75 to $3.75, average paid
being $3.50 per hundred weight for
COWS and $3.50 for steers. AS l was
noticing what l had lost in what few
head I have sold and trying to figure
up what the packers would make in
their small(O profits, l happened to
run across a statement contesting the
Garfield Report" in which he states
that the packers profits were only
ninety-five cents on each steer.
AS the figures of the well-posted
South Omaha man run close to mine
and as he takes a thousand-pOund
steer for basis, it will be easier for
anyone to figure up the percentage,
than it would from mine that went
from 1,200 to 1,400 pounds each.
Under some special case and certain
conditions a 1,000-pound steer had
been raised for as low cost as fif
teen dollars. But a thOusand-pound
steer cost some of us about fifty dol
lars until ready for market. Now the
Deef buyers have been so kind as to
pay us an average Of thirty-fve dol
lars for thousand-pound steer. We
are compelled to suffer loss Of fifteen
dollars, raise a calf feed the steer
into Iriu tO
Wenatchee, close to hundred miles,
all that for pleasure alone and the
profit at the wrong end.
Let us see what the 1,000-pound
steer will bring in clearinghouse pro-
ducts:
Meat, $50 pounds at 10c, $500;
tallow, trimmings, etc., 5000; liver
anu heart, zoe; tongue, 45c; hide
$3.50; feet, 15c; head, 10c; brains, SC;
bones, loo; tripe, 35c; blood fertilizer,
25c; castings, lungs, middle and
rounds, 25c. Total, $71.90.
Those were South Omaha selling
prices. Suppose Seattle about the
same, if not still higher.
Now their highnesses the packers
have thirty-five dollar steer convert
ed into $71.90 products. Only rea-
sonable(?) profit-a little over one
hundred per cent. God bless them,
and we ranchers and farmers, if we
cannot agree in cooperating to sell
our products, let us at least unite to
thank them for their generosity and
profit-sharing plans.
Note. --Cattlemen that have winter
range as wei as summer range and do
not have to feed hay, can raise sew
eral 1,000-pound steers for fifty dol
lars. GUSTAVE BRANDERET.

The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1908-10-15

DR.. Robert Koch, the noted German
scientist, attended the recent Inter-
national tuberculosis Congress at
Washington, D. S., that he still main
tains the opinion expressed by him
at the conference on tuberculosis at
London, in which he declared that bo-
vine tuberculosis is not transmisslble
to human beings, was the declaration
of Robert Koch at the afternoon ses-
sion. He said that Eat the present
time there is no authentic case of bo-
vine tuberculosis in man taking the
form of pulmonary tuberculosis" He
said that Investigations up to the pres
ent time corroborated the statement
the college. 1t is reported he will try
for the governorship of Oregon two
years hence.

half, the total annual depreciation
amounts to $S,046,219. The annual
loss from decrease in milk production
is estimated at $1,15O,0OO, and there
also is some loss from impairment of
breeding qualities, etc. Taking all
these items into account, the aggre-
gate annual loss because of tubercu-
losis among farm animals in the Unit
ed States is estimated at not less
than $14,O00,000. Such heavy financial
losses make the eradication of tuber-
Gu osis from farm animals very de-
sirable purely as an economic matter
AS the disease is found principally
among cattle and hogs, and as most
of the infection in hogs is derived from
cattle the main effort should be di-
rected against the disease in cattle.
Among the measures proposed are
the following: Live stock owners
should be educated by means OF Of
fetal publications, the agricultural and
general press, lectures at Farmers In.
stitutes. etc. Public authorities should
make a systematic effort to determine
to what extent and in what localities
the disease exists, and should apply
the tuberculin test generally and sys-
tematically to cattle in sections where
this seems desirable. Reacting ami
mails should be slaughtered under
competent veterinary inspection, so
that the loss may be minimized by
passing carcasses for food where the
infection is so slight that this can
safely be done dangerous carcasses,
Of course, to be condemned. In the
case of valuable breeding animals,
where slaughter would involve great
sacrifice, the Bang system of segre-
cation may be used. A system or tag
ging all COWS sent to market Is advo-
Gated, so that when animals are round
tuberculOus in the meat inspection
they may be traced back to the place
of origin, centers of infection located,
and steps taken for eradication. The
Bureau of Animal Industry is already
cooperating with the authorities OF
some states in reporting and tracing
the origin of tuberculous animals.
Each state should require that all cat
tie brought in for breeding or dairy
purposes shall have passed the tuber
culin test.
AS the eradication of tuberculosis is
largely a public health measure, it is
only reasonable that the persons
whose cattle are slaughtered should
be paid indemnity, at least in part
This is not only just, but is absolutely
essential, if the cooperation of cattle
owners is to be secured. Several
states already have provisions of this
character. The benefits to follow from
the eradication Of tuberculosis from
farm animals are so great and so OBJ
vious that the ne cessary expenditures,
even though they must be heavy, may
be regarded as highly profitable in
vestment.

LEAVE FOR WASHINGTON.

Little Rock, May 9.-The Hon. George w. Donaghey, democrat ic nominee for Governor of Ark ansas was in the city Friday. and joined Gov. X. O. Pindall and party for the trip to Washing ton to attend the conference on national drainage to be held at the capitol city next week. Mir. Donaghey has been in the city several days conferring with friends prior to his departure for the National Capitol where he will be for not less than two weeks, He stated while here that he is in no sense of the word a candidate for position as delegate at large to the Nation- al Democratic Convention at Denver this summer. T am per fectly satisfied that the Demo- cratic Party in Arkansas is com posed of men who will represent the best interests of the state in the Denver convention, and am not the least inclined to but into this affair and attempt to designate the men who shall pe elected. I have been nominateu for Governor of Arkansas, anu that is enough honor for me.
 He did not say that he wouiu not go to Denver if he is electea to that position, as has been pup lished, but he left the impression that there is really an hohes.y of purpose in his declaration Una. he had rather see some othei men make the trip.

MODERN GRAIN ELEVATOR.

Hope, May 9.-The Southern Grain & Produce Company will begin at once the erection of a building alongside the Frisco track and just south of the Fris- co freight depot, to be used by them as a grain elevator.
 This building will be 5Ox12S feet in size and constructed of galvanized iron, nicely finished, and will be kept in good condi- tion. The machinery used will be driven by an electric motor, and will be strictly modern in every particular. The cost of the plant will be about S5,OOO.OO. J. A. Sullivan has the contract for constructing the building and work will begin at once, as it is to be completed in 90 days.
