Bovine tuberculosis has long attract
ed the attention of Wisconsin breeders
and dairymen. tuberculosis of hogs
has also been shown to be of great
economic Importance. 1t is now evil

a factor in determining the success or
failure of many poultrymen. Before

state. In that year tubercle bacilli
were found in some avian tissue sent
to the station. During the next four
years no further cases were reported
but since that time many diseased
flocks have been discovered without
making special effort. On one farm in
southern Wisconsin it was found that
the disease had been present for at
least four years and about one-fourth
Of the flock had been lost each year
From information obtained in vari-
Gus ways it seems that similar condi-
tons exist in other sections of the
state. 1t is evident that the disease is
spreading rapidly, due to the sale of
diseased birds and eggs from tubercu-
lar hens One farm was found by
James G. lIalpin and DR.. B. A. Beach

Home the First Consideration

Il would urge you to make your
home your first consideration-pla
it before everything else. Learn to
know your children as you know
yourself; teach them to feel that moth
ing can come into their lives but what
they can take to you. 1t is more than
pitiful-it is really alarming to real
ize how little most parents know of
the real lives OF their children.
Something is wrong in the home,
somewhere a mistake has been made
If a child does not turn instinctively
to its father and mother In the hour
Of perplexity and trouble. Shame on
the parent whose boy has learned
through experience that someone else
can be OF greater service and of more
comfort than father or mother
Give your children the best you
have in thought, word and deed. Can
you AFFORD to do otherwise? Do you
dare to do less. when you think of the
long journey which stretches out be-
fore them, and the strength and cour-
age necessary to face the problems
which will confront them."-Jennie
Bracket Jacobs.

No. 1.-The Separator.
BY Frank D. Otis, Agricultural Repro

An old adage tells us that "a penny
saved is penny earned" 1t is equally
true that a penny lost leaves us a pen
ny poorer The leaky milk pail robs
the cream check. This is the first of
series of articles in which the writer
will try to point out some of the
"holes in the milk pail that are re-
ducing the profits of dairymen. 1t re-
mains for the reader to apply the
solder. or at least to pull in a piece Of
an old dish rag to stop the leak"
There will be nothing new in these ar
perhaps nothing that Is not
known to every dairyman in the coun-
try. But you know how it is. We get
into the habit of doing things, and so
we do today what we did yesterday be-
cause it is easier to do that than to do
something else. We need reminders
now and then to start us off into better
methods.

the biggest holes in the milk pail" 1t

Chickens Affected With tuberculosis.

than year ago by the purchase Of
birds, and considerable losses have al
ready occurred.
The disease can easily be recognized
by the extreme emaciation that is no
ticeable before death takes place and
by the appearance of yellow spots on
the liver and nodules of the intestines.
The spleen is often diseased
Apparently the only way in which
the disease can be eliminated from
+ farm is by the destruction of the en-
tire flock, since there is no way by
which the healthy birds can be distin-
guished with certainty from those hav-
ing the disease. The carcasses of
birds that die should be buried or
burned and the poultry house should
be disinfected thoroughly. The farm
er contemplating the purchase of eggs
for Matching or new breeding stock
should determine the condition OF the
flock from which he intends to buy,
ascertaining whether any Of the hens
have died and the results of the post
mortem examination of the same.
No visible symptoms appear in the
affected bird until the disease is far
advanced. Besides loss of flesh lame
ness may be present. This condition
may be due to diseased joints or to
extensive changes in the vitals. The
| comb and wattles become pale, but as
rule the eyes remain bright and the
appetite is good.

For q New Bridge,

Inc Commissioners favorable report
on the Carlin bill for the construc-
tlon OF bridge across the Potomac to
replace the old. Aqueduct bridge puts
the matter before Congress in such
shape as to command early action. In
their report the Commissioners point
out the inconvenient and Objectionable
conditions on and near the bridge,
urging its replacement by a substan-
t1al structure. They withhold an opin-
ion as to the best location for the
bridge. on which subject there may be
some difference of Judgment
An important point is made in the
report with reference to the cost of
the bridge, which the Commissioners
oeiieve should be borne by the fed
eral government, with such rebate from
the street railway companies using it
as the traffic warrants. This the Com
miss1oners justly declare, would be a
more equitable division of the charge,
than any arbitrary proportionment be-
tween the United States the District
OF Columbia and the state of Virginia.
The Aqueduct bridge has been in dis
repute for many years and the matter
of its replacement has been postponed
from time to time as something that
might be done in any convenient sea-
son. 1t is an urgent matter. that
should be pressed vigorously as though
an acute emergency were to be met.
whenever a bridge. much used by the
public. is in question its replacement
should be deemed an imperative duty
In addition to the actual danger to the
public involved in the continued use
of this old bridge the conditions at the
District and. Virginia ends are such
as to call for early remedy.
1t Is to be hoped that with the Com
missioners' favorable report as a sub
stantial argument for action this bill
will be pressed for passage at the pres
emit session.

Patterson Tries to Reform.

Paterson, N. J., has suffered for some
wears from a bad reputation. The
activities there of certain classes OF
workingmen. or rather those who work
the workingmen. have produced in the
public mind throughout the country a
most unfavorable opinion of the busy
New Jersey city as hotbed OF unrest
and disorder. Especially since the In
dustrial Workers of the World began
their mischievous activities Paterson
has suffered in repute. and unquestion-
ably its business prosperity has been
seriously affected.
Now the people of Paterson are try
ing to rehabilitate themselves. and
wisely began the process by appealing
to each other to stop knocking and
begin to boost. The other day public
ceremony was performed significant Of
the new thought that it Is hoped will
henceforth animate all Pateraonians. A
procession wound its way about the
city escorting a huge hammer made OF
