WISCONSIN PIONEERED TUBER-
CULOSIS FIGHT.

It is certain that two-thirds of the
herds of Wisconsin are free from the
disease that is known by the dairy
world to be one of the most important
factors in determining the success or
failure of any breeding or dairy herd.
Bovine tuberculosis is the cause Of
certain percentage of the cases Of hui
man tuberculosis especially in chill
dren. From both the economic and
sanitary points of view WiscOnsin's
great problem in the fight against bo-
vine tuberculosis is to prevent it's in
PRODUCTION into healthy herds. To &C
complish this, as well as to eradicate
it gradually from the diseased herds,
the use of the tuberculin test is neces-
sary.
It is important that farmers realize
the value of the test and its limita-
tons, and that the state make it as
easy and cheap as possible for the
farmer to test his herd or to have it
tested, and to enable him to dispose
Of diseased animals with the minimum
loss.-H. L. Russell.

BETTER HORSES NEEDED.

Wisconsin horses are gradually i'm
proving in breeding, sOundness and
quality. In 1907, G5 per cent of our
public service sires were grades and
scrubs. In 1914, the number of such
stations dWindled to IS per cent and
throughout the state they are fast los
ing popularity and patronage.
This Improvement has been brought
about largely by the states stallion
law which went into effect January 1,
1906 and by a concerted active and
widespread campaign in favor Of i'm
proved breeding many VIGOROUSLY un-
sound stations have been driven out,
sounder, better horses are taking their
place and purebred mares are being
introduced for the home production OF
needed sires. Further Improvement is
sorely needed.
Purity Of blood is desirable, but not
paramount stallion, despite his
fancy pedigree, may be individually
scrub, or poorly formed, or partially
or wholly impOtent. While in time
purebred sires should wholly replace
grade and scrub stations they must
be individually excellent sound, suit
able. fit, muscular and prerOtent.
Wisconsin can produce her own sup
ply of such sires. We have the re-
quisite conditions and facilities for
such breeding operations.

Time is money not only to business
men, but also to any Wisconsin boy
who plants a patch of musk melons
and works with them Schools are
usually out just in time to plant this
crop.
This is the message which J. r.
Hepler of the College of Agriculture
annually sends to Badger boys. He
tells them at the same time of some
of the things he has found out about
growing musk melons.
To produce melons like those in
these three baskets he says that it is
necessary to have a clean loan soil,
preferably a clover sod, in good cult

hills five feet apart. Plant from ten
to fifteen good seeds in hill. Emerald

high quality and are good varieties
from which to select the seed.
For each hill, hole ten inches deep
filled with four or five inches Of we'll
rOtted horse manure, covered with soil,

of fertilization. After the melon plants

FIT THE HORSES COLLAR.

Advise me the best and safest rem
edy for sore shoulders OF a horse.
We have a horse with bad shoulders,
and have used different remedies, but
none seem to prove satisfactory.-E.
K. st. Croix county.
Sore shoulders in horses may be
due to an improperly fitted or too
large collar Sometimes Collars that
are too wide at the top are RESPONSE
BILE for CALLING. To remedy this troH-
BILE, we first adjust the collar to the
neck by fitting it snugly. Ii this IS
not successful, the draft should be
raised from the point of the shoulder
Occasionally a mass of fibrous tissue
forms which acts as an irritant until
it is removed. An operation of course
would be necessary in case Of this
kind
Washing the shoulders night and
morning with solution Of common
salt and water in the proportion of
two level teaspoonfuls to one quart,
keeps the skin clean and toughens it.
Sometimes a hole cut in the sweat
pad at the place where it comes in
contact with the wound will give re-
lief and hastens healing.-F. B. Had

the strongest. Frequent cultivation,
until the vines cover the ground, keeps
the moisture up and weeds down.
When the plants are first up the boy
farmers must keep a sharp lookout
for small bug with yellow stripes
across its wings-the cucumber beetle.
This insect eats the leaves of the
young plants, but disappears when the
vines are older Covering the plants
with mosquito netting or wire screen
will keep the pest away; or they can
be destroyed by busting the plants
with lime and arsenate OF lead or
paris green
About two melons to the plant is all
that can be expected. This means
from four to eight melons to the hill.
The boy who wants to figure his profits
may count about 1850 hills to an acre,
with five or six melons to the hill
These melons will bring from five to
fifteen cents each.
Melons are ready to pick when the
color changes from green to yellow
ish; when they have a "mushy" odor;
and when the stem parts easily from
the melon. When gathered they are
graded by sizes and dirt washed Off
The melons may then be packed for
market in bushel baskets.
