Public Health as applied to sani.
tary conditions under which people
live has been frequently brought to
the attention of the people. Up to
this time very little has been said
regarding the sanitary conditions in
which domestic animals should live
Many Of the diseases which seriously
affect the human being are kept ALIVE
BY domestic animals and are trans
mitted from them to man. 1t is nat
ural, then, that these diseases car
not be prevented in man unless they
are prevented in the domestic ami
mails that bring them to nan Be
cause ofthis fact some Of our commo
diseases are becoming known as rura
diseases. If more attention were pal
to our domestic animals, the animal
themselves would fare better, Il
would be more economical, and some
reduction in a human diseases would
be brought about.
The diseases that may affect botH
man and domestic animals are infan
tile paralysis, which affects especial
ly the young animals, such as chick
ems, kittens, colts, etc; hydrophobia
which most Commonly affects dogs
and at intervals, horses, cattle, hogs
cats, etc; tuberculosis, which at
fects especially cattle; CHAMBERS
which affects horses especially; &C
~tinomyces, which affects cattle mos
commonly; anthrax. affecting mos
commonly cattle, but occasionally al
cloven-hoofed animals; lockjaw, thu
germ OF which is In many cases .
normal lnhabltant OF the intestine
tract OF cattle and other domestic an
mails; and parasitic diseases affect
ing cattle and hogs which may also
be transferred to man.

The Wabash Passenger Depart
ment has issued a circular on dairy.
ing in Missouri. contents of which
have been compiled by C. II. Eckles.
Professor Of Dairying Husbandry, Tn.
iversity Of Missouri, Columbia.
The information contained in this
Circular should prove OF inestimable
value, not alone to the dairyman but
also to the farmer. as 1t shows in
a concise and conclusive manner the
great value of the COW as a fertilizer
to the soil. 1t shows that the vaiue
of the dairy products In Missouri at
the present time is approximately s25
O00, 900 a year, which is nearly dou-
BILE that of ten years ago. 1t also
gives a yearly milk and butter re-
cord OF the ten best Jersey COWS and
of five Of the best Holstein cows
owned by the University, as well as
valuable information covering the
feeding of dairy cattle.
Every farmer or dairyman in the
State Of Missouri should possess a
copy OF this circular, which can be
obtained free on application to Wa
bash Ticket Agents, or by writing J.
