Owing to the thorough manner in
which all chicken" is cooked, there
is not much danger of human infec-
ton The disease is rather to be con-
sidered an economic factor in the
poultry industry.
The only way in which the poultry
man can be certain of obtaining
healthy birds is to purchase them from
hocks known to be free from tuber-
cuOsis, as the tuberculin test has
been shown to be of no use in the
case of fowls
Post norton examinations of all
birds that die should be made as a
routine matter, since this is the only
way In which tuberculosis can be
detected in a flock tuberculosis can
be eliminated from a farm only by
the total determination of the infected
flock, thorough distinction of the
houses and yards, and the introduce
ton of new birds when some time
has elapsed.

These were some of the notices in
the dairy test exhibit at the recent
Wisconsin Live Stock exhibition
which impressed on ones mind the i'm
portance of testing dairy COWS for
production.
The testing of dairy cows is car
ried on in our state by two different
agencies-the division Of Dairy Tests
of the College of Agriculture and the
Contrasting associations conducted
by the Wisconsin Dafrynen's associa-
ton. There are u OF the latter asso-
Citations in existence at this time, in
communities where 400 or more COWS
are tested for yearly production by a
supervisor appointed by the Dairy
mems associations. While the official
tests conducted by the College of Agri-
culture are mostly with pure-bred
COWS, the COWS in the Contrasting as
sociations are largely grades and ma
tive cows.
The work in both directions was il
Illustrated by charts. tables, apparatus,
etc, exhibited in the dairy test booth
of the exposition, The central portion
of the exhibit showed an arch, the
keystone of which was Good Cows"
with Babcock tester and a milk
scale); this was supported by stones
which were marked by the various
factors contributing to success in
dairying, such as, on the one hand,
good food good water and pure air,
modern stable and markets. and on
the other knowledge. industry. appli-
cation, square dealing. system and ad-
vertising.
This central chart vas surrounded
by figures of some noted COWS whose
production of milk. solids and butter
fat for the year has recently been de
termined by the college, viz:

Question: | am thinking of using
cement tile in draining my land. Are
they as good as the burnt clay tile?
Answer; Cement tile seem to be as
durable and serviceable as clay tile.
They require a rich and thorough mix
ture of cement. The only case OBJ
served in Wisconsin where cement tile
have honeycombed seemed to be due
to poor and uneven mixture of the
freight station Give miles or less)
there seems to be no reason for de-
parting from the old reliable clay tile,
however. Hauling tile five miles or
more by team is considerable item,
and it is in such cases, particularly
where siX-inch tile or larger ones are
needed, that cement tile made on the
farm may have an advantage.-Prot.

O. Do farmers have a right TO sell
their seed at retail first having them
tested, or does this law apply only to
merchandise X.
A. Farmers do not have right to
sell to their neighbors anything eX-
cept small grain without having it
] tested In other words. all clover and
grass seeds which are sold by farmers
should be tested and labeled the same
as would be required by any other
! dealer.-Prof. A. l.. Stone.
