than a year ago by the purchase or
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 iEtestines.
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 distln-
guished with certainty from those hav-
ing the disease. The carcasses or
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
norton 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
a rule the eyes remain bright and the
appetite is good.

skim milk recently that tested IL per
cent Probably one-fourth to one-third
of the butter fat produced on that farm
was going into skim milk. Some will
say that it is not lost because it in
creases the feeding value of the milk.
That's all right If you can afford it.
When fed to calves with a proper
amount of skim milk, two pounds of
grain 1.-TWO cents at most is worth one
pound of butter fat (25 cents at least).
At the present price of butter fat, il
there are ten cows on that farm which
give 20 pounds Of milk day, the but
ter fat lost in the skim milk would be
worth $3.50 per week, and would buy
800 pounds of grain-nearly ten times
it's own feeding value.
Now for the solder-or the dish rag.
Do you know how much butter fat is
going into your skim milk? If you
have not had it tested wouldn't it be
wise for you to do SO? Your butter
maker would probably do it for you.
If he is not willing to, or if you don't
like to ask him to. then if you have a
county representative in your county,
use your hired man. He is paid for do
ing just such work for you, and it will
cost you nothing to have it done. The
representative in one county is going
to set day in the near future when
he will test all skim milk samples sent
him. The farmers of that community
can send their samples to him by mail.

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
dent that tuberculosis of hens is like
wise disease which is destined to be
factor in determining the success or
failure of many poultrymen. Before
1906 the experiment station was not
aware that the disease existed in the
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
f1ocks 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-
lions 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. Halpin and DR.. B. A. Beach
of the Wisconsin experiment station,
to which the disease was brought less

Still better results have been obtain,

the cream check. This is the first of a
series of articles in which the writer
will try to point out some of the

There will be nothing new in these ar

into the habit of doing things, and so
we DO today what we did yesterday be-

something else. We need reminders
now and then to start us off into better

Teach Agriculture IN State Schools.
The rapid growth of agricultural
work in high schools of Wisconsin was
Bketched by State Inspector H. n.
Goddard before the county superin-
tends, whose first session of a two
days annual meeting opened in Mad
ls0n
Sixty-three high schools are now
giving four-year courses in agricul-
ture, and practically all high schools
are giving some agricultural instruc-
zion. There are seven county agri-
cultural schools, all with fine equip
ment but with a deficiency in that
credit is not given in many high
echools for the work they do Mr..
Goddard said this shows that the peo-
pie feel a demand for agricultural
work connected with a strong high
school course rather than for that
which merely trains boys for the
farm.
Inspector Goddard saw great
need for better trained teachers, larg-
er and more definite equipment, and
better development Of an efficient plan
of work. How to make the work of
more practical interest to pupils and
communities is an important problem,
he said. The solution, he said, in
wolves field work, community work
home projects. corn growing projects.
etc. A more intimate acquaintance
with current literature and such
means of Improvement as Institutes,
and farmers courses were recon-
mended.
Superintendent G. B. Rhoads of
Waukesha advocated continuance Of
special state aid for rural schools. He
believed that the county superintend-
ent should be given power to certify
the conditions upon which rural
schools should be granted or denied
state aid. just as state inspectors are
authorized to name the requirements
by which graded schools become en-
titled to state aid.
