Two Thousand Topeka Milk
Cows Undergo Tests.
Conditions Greatly Improved
Since Investigation of 1914.

That tuberculosis practically has
been eliminated from herds that sup
ply milk for consumption in Topeka is
the report of DR.. Leslie Rowles, city
food and milk inspector, following
series of tuberculin tests on more
than 1000 cows. Less than s. per cent
of the animals tested showed signs of
Rowles's report
Tuberculin tests made this year by
the municipal health department are
the first since 1914 when the practice
was inagurated here. Evidence of
improved conditions was noticed par
ticIlarly through a comparison of tests
made on thirty-seven herds that had
the same owners and the same sur
roundins in 1914 and 1916. During
both years, the herds consisted of 54S
cattle. Twenty-seven were condemned
two years ago. This year the herds
were given a clean slate.
During the year tuberculin tests have
been made on 2,036 cows. OF that
number, seventeen were condemned
by the health department following
ago, slightly more than 1900 cows
were tested and sixty-seven con-
demned. Comparison of reports for
the two years shows that while more
than per cent of the COWS tested in
1914 were condemned, less than SIS
per cent IIlol that ldl0 LIllS year.
One Cow Can Affect the Herd.
AS all milk obtained from a herd
of cows usually is collected in single
vessel, milk from one tubercular COW
may affect that obtained from the
whole herd. Investigators conse-
quently report not only on the indi-
vidual cattle but on herds. Two years
ago, nearly "a per cent of the herds
examined were found to contain cows
suffering from tuberculosis. This
year, while a considerably greater
number of herds were examined, the
percentage of those containing tuber-
cular cattle dropped to less than rs
per cent
Little opposition is encountered by
investigators from the health depart
| mept in their efforts to stamp out tu-
| berculosis from herds supplying milk
| placed on the market here. When a
COW is found to be suffering from the
disease, it is Immediately condemned
and slaughtered.
| Owners of condemned cattle can
collect from the city half the APP
praised value of the animal, or they
can sell it for food subject to con-
demnation again by federal meat in
| spectors. In that case, the animal is
a clear loss and few persons conse-
quently attempt to offer condemned
cows to packers, reports show.

ONE OF The FIRST
Shawnee County Taking Steps
Toward Farm Bureau.
Must Have $50 Members to In
sure County Agent.
MAKING GOOD IN II COUNTIES
Supported by the County, State
and Regular Members.
Aid Is Offered by Agricultural
College Specialists.
MAKING GOOD IN II COUNTIES
,RY WELLINGTON BRINK.)

Shawnee county is taking the 1lrst
stems toward the organization of a
farm bureau to act in cooperation
with a county agent. 1t is undertake
ing work that seventeen other coun-
ties have found to be in the interests
of progressive agriculture.
To obtain the services of county
agent, it is necessary that farm bu-
reau of membership of not less than
$50 be organized under constitution
and bylaws satisfactory to the ran
sas State Agricultural college and that
$500 be raised among the farmers ana
townspeople of the county for use IN
purchasing the necessary equipment
A copy of the constitution and Dy-
laws, together with a certificate or de-
post of the $500 in a local bank, and
the roll of members of the farm bu-
reau, must be presented to the county
commissioners.
The constitution usually provides
for membership fee of not less than
81 year for a period of at least
three years.
County Furnishes Funds.
Upon fulfilment of these conditions
the county commissioners are required
by law to appropriate from $500 to
$500 a year toward the salary of the
agent. The Kansas State Agricultural
college also must contribute from the
state and federal funds an amount of
. 20
pose. 1t is part of the policy of the
extension division of the college to du-
plicate, dollar for dollar. the appro-
priation of the county commissioners,
up to the maximum sum allowed by
law.
The farm bureau is distinctively CO.
operative and, as such, should be
created by the people themselves, if it
is to be successful. Such an organiza-
ton conducts it's work through demon
STATIONS, meetings, publications, COM
mittees. and visits of the county agent.
The underlying purpose of the work is
TO make farming more profitable,
rural life more enjoyable, and the
country community better place in
which to live.
Need Farmers Help.
The county agent can accomplish
little without the aid of a well organ
lied farm bureau. The latter should
be a federation of the best farmers
and the most progressive people OF
both country and town-leaders who
are willing to put the most approved
methods of agriculture into practice
on their own lands, not only for per-
sonal profit but for the sake of fur

One afternoon, just as DIR. Bundy's
office hour had begun, a very excited
individual rushed into his office.
Doctor, doctor, Just one mo-
Inent!" he cried.
'I'll see you shortly" said the doc
tor.
"only a second, doctor." protested
the perturbed one. "Only a second is
what I want!"
I'll see you shortly" repeated the
physician, with impatience.
The man, with a sigh, took a seat
in the reception room. His excite
ment soon subsidized, apparently. and
he read the magazines lying on the
table, making no further efforts to
see the doctor.
After several patients had consulted
the doctor, the latter stepped over to
the man, and said:
You were in somewhat of hurry,
I believe, sir. What can I do for
you?''
.'Oh. nothing now" replied the
man. II only dropped in to tell you
that your neighbours cows have es-
capped from the yard and are having
a fine time among your flower beds"
