TUBERCULOSIS IN
THE DAIRY HERD

A cattle specialist, who is also state
veterinarian of Wisconsin, says that
tuberculosis is a contagious stable dis
ease. 1t affects the glands Of the
body, but is liable to affect any part
of it.
Most people think it is a disease of
the lungs only. There isn't man liv-
ing that is bright enough to pick the
tuberculosis cattle out of herd. For
that reason we must resort to the only
test we know of now-the tuberculin
test.
If you have herd of fifty cattle
and you apply the test. finding four or
five head afflicted. you can save the
balance of the herd.
In getting the cows ready to test 1t
is wise TO water them about noon and
house them Permit them to stand
about three hours. At O'Clock you
can take the temperatures. The nor
NAL temperature varies from 30 to 1903
degrees. No animal with a tempera-
ture higher than 1903 should have tu-
berculin injected. You take three
temperatures. the first being taken
at 3 O'Clock. then one at 8 and another
at T. After the o'clock temperature
you inject tuberculin by the use of
the syringe. using two C. C. of tuber
culin for the ordinary 1000 pound
COW.
After the tuberculin is injected the
herd should be watered. and then they

o'clock the following day unless they
can drink whenever they want to.
The following morning at 6 O'Clock
you take temperatures. then again at
8. 10. II and 2. at which time the test
is finished. After the test is finished
II there is an abnormal rising of tenn
perature over the temperatures of the
first day your herd should be divided
into three classes-healthy, suspicious
ature raised over 1903 or 1O4 may be
considered suspicious. Over 1O4 up to
1912 are usually reactors and tuber-
culous.
After the test is finished you should
take a history of all the animals
whose temperatures exceed 104. XIII
these animals aud you will find they
are tuberculous. On the other hand.
II you kill the animals showing tenn
peratures between 1903 and 1O4 you
are liable to kill some that are not
tuberculous. Instead Of killing the
suspicious animals turn them back
into the herd and retest them.
You cannot start tuberculosis In a
herd unless you introduce the germ.

Navel pi.e..s In ceIt..

"I should like to emphasize the ne
cessity OF knowing that the baby colt
is properly attended to-" says a stock
man. There is absolutely no cause
for joint Ill or navel trouble but lack
Of care before the little fellow gets on
his feet. Some navel cords are very
large and hard and would tear the
skin of the belly before the cord would
break and thereby injure and derange
other organs Of the belly 30 that
blood poisoning sets in. Then 1t may
go TO the joints. etc. II the man is on
hand when the colt comes and can
keep the colt down and quiet till the
cord stops beating, then cut 1t about
Eve inches from the body and tie 1t
with a good stout cord. then double It
up and tie 1t again. you cannot get any
poison in its navel any more than you
could in its hip. Then rub the two
front teeth through above and below
and see that It gets n good dinner and
your troubles are over in that line. II
you practice this you will be well re-
paid"
The Paonia newspaper., 1910-11-04

When you find the disease take Qua
the reactors. Test the balance in tw-
months. II you find more take them
out. and do this until you wipe out tn.
tuberculous ones. After this test ev-
cry six months or at least once a year.
The only way to wipe tuberculosis
out is to give the people who own ths
cattle little more information in re-
gard to tuberculosis and this tuber-
culin test.
Tuberculosis being largely house
or stable disease due to artificial life,
such as being housed or stabbed. every
possible precaution should be taken to
prevent disease. One tuberculous COW
in a close. foul. hot. badly ventilated
stable is liable to infect all other cattle
in the barn. To prevent and guard
against disease 1t Is necessary to main
tain absolute cleanliness.

This false bottom is held in place with
three straps made Of hoop iron. fas-

MAKING COTTAGE CHEESE.
Authority's Suggestion For Getting

Authority's Suggestion For Getting
Good Result From 6uttsrmiIk.
In view OF the recent discussion OF
methods of obtaining the curd from
buftermilk. many readers may be In.
terested In n method successfully en-
ployed by the writer in making cot
tage cheese from buttermilk. This
method. which is the embodiment Of
simplicity itself. is as follows:
Add at the rate of one pound Of
skimmilk TO about six pounds OF but
termilk. Thoroughly mix and heat to
lO4 to 40 degrees F.. when the curd
will almost instantly separate. By this
method 1t is just as easy to make
cheese from buftermilk rs from skim
milk. There Is no reason why single
pound of buttermllk should be wasted.
IL 1t cannot be fed. drunk or sold as
cheese. 1t should be turned into dried
casein. the same as is done with a
great deal of skimmilk.

from New York to Salt Lake City.
II all the corn raised in Illinois in
1909 had been marketed at the price
prevailing In December It would have
brought S2Ol.517.25O. an amount snfii-
cient to pay the public debts of sew

II all the corn raised in Illinois in
1909 had been exported it would have
supplied the European demand for
seven years. Had the European ex-
port for one year only been taken from
the Illinois output there would have
remained corn enough to allow sixty
bushels for every man. woman and
child in the state. or three and one
half bushels for every man. woman
and child of the S5.OOOOOO people in
the United States today.
Yet Illinois is not alone. There are
twenty four other states each of which
produces more than 15.OOO.OOO bushels
Of corn each year and eight others
whose individual output each year is
in excess of lOO.OOO.OOO bushels. No
wonder that corn has been crowned
king. particularly in view of the fact.
as Secretary Wilson has figured 1t.
that the 1909 crop of the value Of
81. 100. 100000 - nearly equal to the
value of the clothing and personal
adornments Of $4,000. .O00-"has grown

Potato Importation..

Great Britain has become an item Of
interest to American potato growers.
In spite of the very heavy transporta-
ton charges and many expenses In
getting potatoes through the custom
house Great Britain Is making money
shipping potatoes to the American mar
ket. The average yield OF the Great
Britain growers Is 261 bushels to the
acre. This means. as all averages
mean. that good growers get many
more per acre than this average and
poor growers considerably less. Soak
all seed potatoes coming from Maine
or other potato growing sections In
formalln Tor formaldehyde) solution,
one quart to fifty gallons of water.
Soak a full two hours. Dry carefully
away from either bags or barrels
which have formerly held potatoes. for
fear of contamination. Cut and plant
only the best specimens. Give thor
ough cultivation. Spray with bordeaux
and arsenate of lead combined from
the time the plants are from four to
five inches high at intervals not to ex-
ceed two weeks. Sort carefully and
pack honestly. Brand every bag and
barrel. Great Britain has made her
record on careful cultivation and seed
selection In the field from the best
hills. This is proved to be the only
way. Don't think 1t over; get busy.
Up to March 81. 1909, the foreigners
shipped into the port Of New York
1.O22 .367 sacks Of potatoes, on which
was paid 100000 in duties. To this
must be added transportation charges.
Ten bushels Of hardwood ashes

The ashes give vigor to the grain
which may be distinctly seen In the
dark color ind the healthy growth Of
the leaves. Grain that is dressed with
ashes Is seldom attacked by rust.

New Variety Of Fruit.


The pecott is the name given to
new variety of fruit that seems to
have originated in the Yakima valley.
near North Yakima. Wash. Two men
working separately. each without the
knowledge of the other. reached the
same results. The fruit is cross be-
tween the peach and the apricot. 1t
is not SO large as the peach. but Is
earlier than either the peach or april
cot. 1t will be valuable as an early
fruit because 1t comes into bearing
and ripens soon after Strawberries are
in the market. It is earlier than the
earliest peaches and has fine favor.
1t has a beautiful yellow color. with
a bright red cheek. making 1t an at
tractive fruit when nicely boxed and

This seemed somewhat strange,
considering the large crowd that
