NEW TREATMENT OF SCOURS
Mysterious Disease Among Calves
Successfully Treated by Prot. VIII
son Of Canadian College.

A somewhat important step in vet
Urinary medicine has been made by
Professor Wilson OF the Harper-Ad'
ans Agricultural college. says the
Canadian Farm. Some farmers In
Salop had suffered heavy loss by a
mysterious disease among their calves
which was so deadly that not one es-
capped. They showed signs Of Illness
at about two days old and got worse
until they died about week later. The
farmer who appealed to the college for
assistance had never been able to rear
a single calf OF his own breeding.
Those bought at n fortnight old did
quite well. Professor Wilson after
post.mortem examinations diagnosed
II as q form Of septicaemia or blood
poisoning, and after an Intellectual
attempt to shut out the malignant
germs by legation and disinfection Of
the naval cords. hit upon the idea OF
giving Tactic acid bacilli in skinned
milk during the first day and gradual
~ introducing the dams milk but
still continuing the Tactic acid bacilli
until the ninth day. when ordinary
rations were reached. This treatment
has been singularly successful and not
single calf has been lost since.
What is OF more general Importance,
however, Is that this treatment Is
proving effective in the much more
prevalent disease. white scours in
calves, and the principle may not stop
here. Setting bacilli to kill bacilli
may yet prove fundamental principle
in animal medicine and It is possible
that great developments may arise out
of Investigations along these lines.

butter made from a cows milk Is not
always an accurate indicator OF her
production. II the butter-maker leaves

ords in terms Of butter the amount OF
moisture In the butter must also be
stated. whereas II given in terms Of
butter fat the record is absolute, and
no analysis to determine moisture In
butter is necessary. The COW pro-
duces butter fat; man makes butter
out Of 1t. It Is the cows product and
not what somebody makes out of It
that should be credited to the COW.
But our correspondent wants to know
how much butter q COW gives. II the
butter is properly made the amount OF
fat will be about five-sixths OF the
quantity of butter. Some calculate
that the fat is four.fifths Of the butter,
but butter only 80 per cent. fat cannon

or course. the cream must be kept
cool all the time. You cannot make
a good product by keeping 1t in a

A better way to take care of the
cream is TO have a shotgun can for

shipping can and deliver good, clean
product.

Plum Butter,

Take the large red plums that grow
wild in some sections of our country
and are known as wild goose" plums.
They are delicious when raw, but are
bitter and sharp when cooked. This
is Oh account of the seed which
"cliEgs." says Good housekeeping.
Cook the plums until tender and then
put through a sieve. Mix with an
equal amount of sweet apples and
cook until mashed. then add sugar to
taste-almost equal parts. Many
plums are impossible when cooked.
