CAMPAIGN AGAINST

disease may be controlled and that 1t
is worth while to take all possible
measures to control 1t. The expert

less than half the outbreaks, and

the present m~illion-dollar loss to q

CUTTING HAIRS FROM UDDER
From Sanitary Standpoint and Com.
fort to Cow While Being MIXED,
FiIaments Are Detrimental.

1t is not at all uncommon among
dairy cows to find the udder covered
with a thick growth of long hair, which
may be of some protection to the udder
in some respects, but from a sanitary
standpoint and n comfort to the COW
while she is being MIXED, these hairs
are detrimental. Under the usual farm
conditions this growth Of hair is COM
monty covered with filth, and even in
well-kept diaries this hair, unless kept
well clipped, will collect more or less
dirt and trash.
In many cases, too, these hairs will
persist in falling into the milk pail.
To prevent occurrences such rs these
the udder should be clipped closely at
least twice each year, and In this way
prevent the accumulation of filth.

the property into lots Is carried to the
apex of the triangle with a lot on each
street as the final division, each of the
houses on these lots should be designed
in the of n house which is to
face on two streets. This division of
lots is often preferred to the division
which places a single lot at the apex,
OF account of the fact that the last

three sides to public view, and Incl

effect which these little beauty spots
have In towns and cities is attested to
by any number of examples of this
treatment throughout the country.
Because most city lots are deep and
narrow, II is unusual to see a house
designed as a city home which has Its
longer dimension across the front.
Aside from the few cases already men,

lots Of peculiar shape on account of
streets interesting at sharp angles, the
only place where a house with wide

lot which offers frontage on two

available. the usual custom is to build
a house with its narrow side to the

FILTHY HABIT OF MIXERS
Practice Of Wetting Hands With Milk
Is Liable to Cause Cows Teats
to Chap in Winter.

Mixers should be allowed to milk
only with dry hands. The practice of
wettine the hands with milk is a filthy
habit and is liable to cause the cows
teats to chap in the winter time.
Milking should be done quickly and
thoroughly, with no violent jerking Of
the teats. After each cow is MIXED
the milk should be removed Immediate
ly to the m%ilkhOuse.
