In choosing the sire choose one from

The only apparatus necessary is soft
rubber tube with a large funnel at
tached to one end, or an ordinary foun-
tain syringe and tube would serve the
purpose. The tube should be inserted
into the sheath and the foreskin held
with the hand to prevent the immedi.

funnel as high as possible, and pour
in the fluid until the preputial sack is
filled. In addition to this, the hair of
the belly and inner sides Of the thigh
should be sponged with the &ntiseptic.
This disinfection should invariably
precede and follow every service.
An aborting cow should receive I'M

followed by thoroughly disinfecting

gated daily with one of the antisep-
tics mentioned for the bull, using the,
same apparatus, and irrigation should
be continued until discharge ceases.
in addition, the external genitals, root
Of tail, escutcheon, etc., should be
sponged daily with solution twice as
strong as that used for irrigation, and
this latter treatment should be given
the nonaborters as well. Should the
preliminary symptoms of abortion be-
detected, the animal should be re-
moved from the herd and treated as
above
After abortion, breeding should not
again be attempted within two months,
or, until the, discharge shall have,
ceased, as the uterus would not be-
normal and the animal would either
not conceive or would abort again in
a short time.
Great care should be used in pur--
chasing cattle, and cows not known
to be free from the disease should be,
kept in separate quarters until this
point is determined. If herd bull
Is not kept, then great care should be
exercised to- know that the animal
used is free OF disease and to see that
he is properly treated both before and!
after service.

1t is pointed out, the recognition by the

The United States and the Latin

drawing into the coalition to be pro-
