Darb Wire Cute.

More good horses have been ruined
or blenlished from the introduction OF
barbed wire thai from any other cause,
says c. l.. Barnes Of the Colorado ASi-
cultural College. When a horse gets
his DOT ove a wire. instead OF trying
to avoid injury to the leg, the animal
vii! struggle violently.
The wounds made by barbed wire are
always infected. SO that the healing
takes place by the formation OF granu-
lation tissue. This being the case, the
wound sometimes heals too fast. and a
large tumor forms. The skin can not
grow over this tumor, and a raw. bleed
ing surface remains. The common 10
cation OF barb wire cuts are In front Of
the hook Joint, below the fetlock. along
the bone and across the breast.
Wire cuts in front OF the hook Joint are
often very serious, The wound usually
extending thru the tendons and into the
joint.
In treating a wire cut the wound
should be kept absolutely clean and ex-
posed to the air and sunshine. When
the wound starts to heal 1t should not
be irritated by washing the raw sur
face or by removing scabs which have
formed. Liquid disinfectants are best
applied by allowing the fluid to be
poured onto the raw surface, not by
rubbing the wound with cotton satur-
ated with d~isinfectant.
Follow this disinfection by covering
the wound with some good healing
powder that is both astrigent and disin-
fectant. Should the wound heal too
fast, use some form Of caustic to re-
move the excessive granulation tissue.

Wisconsin Tubsrculin Test Law.

A large number of inquiries are be-
ing received by The College Of Agricul-
ture Of the University Of Wisconsin In
regard 70 the law providing for the
testing of cattle for tuberculosis prior
to their sale. The state. livestock SAM
tary board is making provisions for a
rigid enforcement Of the law. Of which
the following is the significant portion:
From and after Dec. 1, 1910. It shall
be unlawful to sell or otherwise trans
fer any bull. COW, or heifer OF the bo-
vine family, over s months old, for 9TH
er than feeding purposes. or Z be ex-
ported from the state or slaughtered,
unless the same has within two years
prior to such sale or transfer been
tuberculin tested by some competent
person approved by the state livestock
sanitary board and been found T. be
free from tuberculosis" It will be
seen that the law does not require the
testing Of dairy or breeding cattle to
be exported from the state.
Many Inquiries are received in re-
gard to the sale OF milk and cream
from untested or from known tuber-
culous cows. The dairy law provides
that milk from diseased animals shall
not be sold, and the dairy and food
commissioner has the power to pro-
hibtt the sale Of milk from tubercul-
Gus animals.
The indemnity paid to the owner Of
~tuberculous cattle slaughtered under
the control OF the sanitary board will
remain unchanged The owner receives
three-fourths OF the appraised value.
which in no case shall exceed 355.
When no LESSONS Of tuberculosis are
found on slaughter, the owner receives
the full appraised value.

The Value of Cow.

H. 3. Gurler, Of Mississippi, has same
ideas on the value of a good COW, and
these same ideas are worthy Of consid-
Grafton. He says that when a COW
that produces 200 pounds Of butter per
annum at a food cost Of $39 and q labor
cost Of $3.50 IL worth S35. the COW
that produces 400 pounds Of butter an
nually il worth $500 and that the owner
can make net SIG more from her after
paying interest on the $500 than he
can from the COW that produces 200
pounds Of butter. There is no more
labor connected with the 400 pound
cows than there is with the 200-pound
cows. The price 1t which the butter has
been credited. e., 20 cents per pound
Is the net price from the creamery after
the making has beer paid for. In this
herd the increased cost Of feed for the
40O-pound cow vas more han offset
by the increased amount OF skim milk,
so we have the 200 pounds OF increase
OF butter as net profit over tho 200
pound rr~ Two hundred pounds Of
butter at 20 cents is $40. We have
$500 invested in this cow. which. at 8
per cent interest, Is 324, which we will
deduct from the $40. and We have left
SIS TO the credit Of the 4o0-pound cow.

The question of the value of corn
fodder as food for dairy COWS is one of
very great importance to every dairy
man this year. The loss of the tim
othy crop by h drouth makes it alb
solutely necessary that corn fodder be
employed as food for dairy and other
cattle.
About IS per cen Of all the corn
produced in the country is grown In
the northwestern and middle states,
which are known az the corn belt, and
in the writer's opinion they are
destined to become the highest priced
land in b United States. Heretofore
there has been ar enormous and feck.
less waste OF this valuable crop: It IL
estimated that more than one-half the
total amount OF fodder produced in the
corn belt each year is utterly wasted.
This means the waste of a prodigious
mount OF valuable feed that should
be fed to livestock on our farms.
A very large proportion of the valu
able land in the 2 belt IL used for
the purpose OF growing timothy
which is used for roughage for live
stock. Timothy hay contains about
the same nutriment for feeding cat

Tn. Snow Blanket.

The value of a blanket OF snow in
protecting vegetation in the fields in
winter is fully understood in farming
districts, and the Il Of the protec-
tive enect of the snow has been the
subject OF scientific inquiry in Ger
many. In that country the observa-
ions on the thermal properties Of snow
has disclosed the fact that. the looser
the snow. the greater its power to pro-
tect the ground beneath from the ef-
fects of external changes Of tempera-
lure. Snow generally offers about four
times as much resistance 60 such
changes as a sheet of ice of the same
thickness offers. When snow becomes
closely packed. therefore, it Is less ef-
fective as a protection to plant life
than when it lies loosely upon the
surface.
Other experiments have shown that
while a blanket OF snow protects the
ground beneath from the chilling ef-
fects Of the winter atmosphere. yet the
surface Of the snow itself, especially in
clear weather. is colder han the air. so
that snow tends to lower the tempera-
ture. and where broad areas Of the
