SANITATION POINTS

I. Have the herd examined
at least once a year by a COM
petent veterinarian. Promptly
remove animals suspected of be-
ing in bad health. Never add
an animal to the herd until GER
tain it is free from disease, par
ticularly tuberculosis.
2. Never allow cow to be
excited by fast driving, abuse
or unnecessary disturbance.
3. Clean the entire body of
the COW daily. Hair in the re-
gion of the udder should be kept
short by clipping.
4. Do not allow strong-f1avor-
ed food, like cabbage or turnips,
to be eaten except Immediately
after milking. Changes in feed
should be made gradually.
5. Provide fresh, pure drink
ing water in abundance.

Ecuadorfans Would , Sell Islands That s Lie South of Canal

.yAncon, Panama Canal Zone, May IS
 Reports keep coming to the isth- mus of a growing inclination on the part of the people of Ecuador to of- fer the Galapagos Islands for sale to tie United States. The handsome price paid for the Virgin islands is said to have made a great impression on Ecu adorians. The Galapagos islands have long been economically worthless to Ecuador, but all suggestions to sell them have been hailed by opposing politicians as an intrigue to- deliver the territory of the country into the hands of foreigners. It may be that the conduct of the United States to- ward Latin America under President Wilson has mitgated the distrust of the United States and inclined the Ecuadorians to consider more lenient- ly American possession of the islands. The Galapagos lie about eight hun dred miles southwest of the canal, close to the road of steamers playing
 between the canal and New Zealand
 Australia. and the rest of Oceania, and
 the lower East Indies. It is asserted that the site would be strategic point
 for naval operations, an outpost ir

 for ships of peace or war in a vas stretch of lonely sea- The population I of the group is reported as about foul hundred persons.
