Pierre. S. D., Oct. 27.-The annual
export Of the state live stock sanitary
board. filed with the governor. shows
that $500 stations and jacks were reg
istered during the fiscal year in South
Dakota, Indicating a considerable in
crease in pure bred stations in this
state. OF this number, 1885 were pure
bred, recorded animals. The board re-
ceived "a applications by graduate vet
erinarians to practice in this state, only
one being rejected upon examination.
by the board. Under the law, license
can be granted only to graduates of
reputable veterinary colleges who pass
the South Dakota examination.
The board makes several legislative
recommendations: One tina $4,000
appropriation be made to indemnify
live stock sanitation in the state; that
appropriation be made TO indemnify
owners of stock killed by order of the
board for dourine infection, as is done
in the case of stock killed for CHAMBERS;
that the existing law be amended so
as to make plain the intention of the
statute relating to inspection of ship
ments Of live stock into the state; that
penalties be provided for breaking
quarantine regulations Of the board;
that provision be made giving boards
of county commissioners authority to
build county dipping tanks where stock
may be dipped on the payment OF a
reasonable fee by the owner.
The report Of the superintendent of
the board shows hat no hoof and
mouth disease gained access to South
ako the last year; hemorrhagic
septicemia came in from South st.
e~radicated: blackleg has existed in this
and other western states for a number
of years, but can be positively pre-
vented by use of blackleg vaccine;
anthrax made its appearance in Stan
ley and Lyman counties, but has been
controlled; cattle scabies appeared In
Lyman county and because it was not
reported until late gained some head
way. but dipping every suspected herd
seems to have lessened it, and the dip-I
ping for 1t has been carried on In other,
counties also; no sheep scabies have
existed, whatever; CHAMBERS has been
found, but any case found has been
promptly destroyed. and the board
considers that great progress has been
made the past year towards eradica-
ton of this commonly found disease;
q limited number of tubercular cattle
have been Slaughtered; considerable
Roadway has been made in the eradica-
ton of hog cholera, which some time
ago made such huge ravages. but has
not the past year given great concern.

One of the most important facts to
remember when feeding infants with
cows milk is the very large proportion
Of water which is found in normal hui
man milk. for it teaches us that 1t is
q highly diluted food by which the best
results can be obtained in infant feed
ing. 1t also explains to us how careful
we should be not to oyertax the com
paratively slight power for absorbing
q concentrated food which exists in the
early months Of life.
The intervals Of feeling constitute
a very important part of an infants
life and therefore they should be def
mite and strictly adhered to. The dan
ger points OF dilution and intervals
must eyer be kept In view In infant
feeding. Pasteurized milk must be con-
sidered as perfectly pure, sweet milk,
ready for modification and administra-
tiOn.
