Should Report tuberculosis Cases.

The National Association for the
study and Prevention of tuberculosis
says that the first requisite for a com
prehensive campaign for the elimina-
ton of tuberculosis in a state or city
Is wellenforced law, requiring that ey-
cry living CASE Of tuberculosis be re-
ported to the health authorities. Such
reporting is o required by law or
health regulations in % states, while
in 2S states and territories no provi-
sion whatever is made for keeping rec
ords of cases of this infectious disease.
Several cities in non-registration
states, as for instance. Chicago, Cleve-
land, st. Louis and New Orleans, have
local ordinances requiring that tuber-
culosis be reported. In all, there are
about 100 cities in the United States
which have ordinances Of this nature.

MILK FROM HOLSTEIN COWS
Globule-Preferre' by Some
and DisIiked by Others.

One of the qualities claimed for
Holstein milk is the small fat glob-
ule. Some prefer it this way, others
dislike it. For butter making it is a
drawback, but for shipping or for
cheese it is a decided advantage.
When milk is shipped over a long dis,
lance the fat rises to the top of the
can or other vessel in which it is
transported. With Jersey or Guern-
sey milk this Dreaming takes place
very quickly, but with Holstein milk
the ream rises very slowly. For
shipping to market this breed pro

For Success in Dairyinc,

A mar TO make money in d~airying
must be a good feeder. He must
give ample feed and of a kind that
will produce milk. Generous men
often give plenty of feed but Of the
kind that fattens. Some men lose all
the profits by keeping ten cows on
the feed that would make FIVE yield

each cow is watched and fed individ.

thinking dairyman finds a COW whose
feed is forcing her to give so much
milk hat she is becoming weak. He
changes the ration to make it more

SUMMER FEEDING FOR COWS
No Single Feed Will Give All Eie-
ments for Production of Milk
Than Good Grass Pasture.

At this time Of the year, when grass
is coming out and growing at it's best,
the average cow is allowed to secure
all OF her feed from the pasture. 1t
is a fact that there is nothing to
beat good grass for dairy feed. 1t Is
also a fact hat no single feed will
give all the elements for the growth
and maintenance needs and the pro-
duction of milk. 1t is well to con-
tinue the feeding of dry hay and grain
straight through all the summer
months, regardless of the quality and
quantity of grass secured by the milk
cows.
There is another fact to be consid-
cred in feeding dairy COWS on pasture.
The more supplementary feeds given
in the stall the less will the COWS
eat in the pasture and the longer will
the pasture remain good. The aver
age pasture is nipped bare before the
middle of summer, and bare pastures
is the complaint all owe the coun-
try for August and September. II
hay and grain were given the cows
the better would late pastures be.
On nearly every farm some soiling
may be done. Rye can first be GU
and fed, and then follows green oats,
then early sweet corn, and after these
come late corn, peas and pumpkins. If
grain and hay, with supplementary
green feeds, as suggested, be given
through the entire summer, the pas
lures would hold u better, and the
strong flow of milk would be main
tanned throughout the summer and
fall months, resulting in both pres
ent and future profits In dairy prod
ucts.

DAIRY BARN DOOR KEPT OPEN
ces of Farm lifs That Tends
Materially to S. e Steps.

In order to make a fastener that
will keep the dairy barn door open,
first set a good solid post for the door
to open out against. Make a wooden
hook as shown in the illustration with
a sloping point eight inches from the
notch. This length Is sufficient to
make an easy bevel. A great many
hooks are too short and they work
hard. Fasten the hook to the side of
the door with a heavy lag screw just
high enough up 10 engage the bottom
of the door. Put a weight on the
back end of the hook. just heavy
enough to raise the catch.
At the top of the post put a
grooved pulley or an l. shaped lever
cut from a piece of fat iron, with a
hole in each end and a larger hole
at the corner. Fasten 1t to the post
as shown in the illustration, says the
Farm Press. Attach a wire to the
weight and carry 1t owe the pulley
or attach 1t to the outer arm OF the
lever. Hitch another wire to the top
end Of the level and carry it inside
the barn behind the door.

DOCTOR PRESCRlBES
CUTlCURA REMEDIES

"I wish to let you know of a couple
OF recent cures which / have made
by the use of the Cuticura Remedies.
Last August, Mr.. - of this city
came TO my Office, troubled with a
severe skin eruption. 1t was dermatitis
in its worst form. 1t started with a
slight eruption and would affect most
parts of his body, thighs, elbows,
chest, back and a~bdomen-and would
terminate in little p%ustules. The itch
ing and burning was dreadful and he
would almost tear his skin apart, try
ing to get relief. | recommended all
the various treatments l could think
of and he spent about fifteen dollars
on prescriptions, but nothing seemed
to help him.
I'm the meantime my wife, who
was continually suffering with a slight
skin trouble and who had been try
ing different prescriptions and meth
DDS with my assistance, told me she
was going TO get some of the Cuticura
Remedies and give them a fair trial.
But as | did not know much about
CutIcura at that time ! was doubtful
whether it would help her. Her skin
would thicken, break and bleed, es-
pecially on the fingers, wrists and
arms. l could do nothing to relieve
her permanently. When she first APP
piled the warm baths of Cuticura
Soap and applications OF Cuticura
Ointment she saw a decided improve
ment and in a few days she was com
pletely cured.
Il lost no time in recommending
the Cuticura Remedies to Mr.. -,
and this was two months ago. | told
him to wash with warm baths of the
Cuticura SoaD and TO apply the Cuti-
ours Ointment generously. Believe
me, from the very first days s Of
the Cuticura Remedies he was greatly
relieved and today he is completely
cured through their use. have great

Advantage. Of Weighing Milk.

One of the great advantage of
weighing the milk every day. from
each COW, is that It gives n a quick
check on n condition hat brings
about discomfort to his animals. II
any COW shows a dropping Off of her
milk flow. as a rule n little observa-
ton will show that she has been made
uncomfortable In some Of the ways
mentioned above; and knowing these
facts. the farmer is able to check
these unfavo able conditions quickly.

NlA2

The best COWS are the ones that the
careful dairyman raises for himself.
The best favored butter in the
world is made in private dairies-
and the worst, too.
To produce their full milk-giving
capacity, cows should be kept as free
from disturbance as possible.
The silo enables the farmer to
carry more head Of stock than he
otherwise could be able to do.
Care and feeding the first two years
with the calves and heifers Is where
many men succeed in raising stock.
Some don't seem q realize the i'm
portance of manipulating the udder
with the hand at the same time they
are milking.
No one man can develop a COW into
a high producer unless that cow had
an inherited quality of development
to start with.
a man breed and develop his own
cows as far as possible. and buy. II
he must, wisely.
The COW with a good appetite is
apt to be the cheapest butter pro-
Queer. Cows that are '~finicky" are
not apt to be profitable.
A man should have a good strong
hand, and he should know how TO
use 1t in order to get milk put of the
udder and get 1t out rapidly.
Few cow keepers know anythi,p
about the theory of dairying. but a
good one has got the practice down
fine. and this Is what counts.
Have some lard or vaseline handy
to anoint sore teats. Some teats and
a tender udder often made the Gov
kick when otherwise she would nor

ERATiON-PoSTMASTER GENER-
Al is PLEASED.

Washington, July 10.-With the in
stallation today of fifty additional
savings banks, and fifty more to be
opened Thursday, the total OF such
repositories in operation this week
will reach $50. Postmaster General
Hitchcock is delighted with the
success Of the scheme and declares
it will not be long until a full thous-
and banks will be open to the pub
lie.
Statistics show that of the banks
already established those in the far
west have been best patronized Bis
bee, Ariz., Tonopah. New, and Pitts
burg, Kan, show especially good rec
ords. Experience shows that mining
and industrial cities of from 10000 to
$4,000, with considerable foreign pop
ulations, best appreciate the facilities
offered by the postal banks.
Opposition of the bankers to the
postal repositories has proved ground
less, as the money placed within
the postoffices quickly finds its way
into circulation, as it is promptly
deposited in selected bank deposito-
ries after its receipt at the post
office banks. Except for the security
offered by Uncle Sam, much of this
money would probably be kept hid
