.PASTEURIZING MILK
FOR YOUNG CALVES
Transmission Of tuberculosis
and Contagious Abortion
Are Thus Prevented.

(By ]. E NEwSOM. Colorado Agricul-
tural College, Fort Collins. Colo)
So much has been said on pasteuriz-
ing milk for babies that many cities
require all milk to be pasteurized, ex-
cept such as has been produced under
exceptional sanitary conditions, and at
least one state is requiring the pasteur-
izatiOn of all milk from all cattle not
tubercuiin tested. Many of those who
are engaged In raising calves have
found that IL babies lives can be saved
by heating the milk so also can the
lives of cnlves be spared by the same
method. UnquestiOnably skinned milk
returned from the creameries has been
a very faithful source of the transmits
sion of tuberculosis to both calves and
pigs, and 1t is found by actual expert
ence in many states that this disease
can be very much curbed by proper
pasteurizatiOn Of the skinned milk be
fore 1t Is returned to the farm.
The organism causing contagious
abortion is very frequently found In
the milk and is probably transmitted
to the calves In this manner. Proper
heating will unquestiOnably prevent
this kind of transmission.
A recent report from the California
experiment station shows that very
serious outbreak of dysentery In calves
was stopped by boiling the milk. All
of these experiences go to show that
calf-raising would be much more easily
accomplished and much more profitable
IL all the milk given to the calves could
be properly pasteurized, since by SO
doing many of the calf diseases could
be eliminated.

WORK OUT PROBLEM
OF MARKETING EGGS
Plan to Avoid Conditions Which
Are Responsible for Deter

(By L. e. CARD. Connecticut Expert
ment Station.)
The poultry mans problem in mar
keting eggs may be stated as how to
avoid those conditions which are re-
sponsible for the determination of the
product during the time that must
elapse between its production and con-
sumption. The correct and careful
working out of this problem will result
in the highest cash returns for the
eggs produced.
Some of the points to be considered
in this connection are:
I. Provide plenty Of nests and keep
them clean and dry. This is impor-
tant to prevent soiled eggs.
2. Collect eggs twice each day. In
very hot weather three times day
Is better. During the warm weather
an egg will spoil in short time. If

Ownership of Railroads.

No country in Europe owns all of
its railroads, but the movement tow
ard government ownership has made
considerable progress. Where govern
ment ownership does not exist the
government exercises large degree
of control. In Germany most of the
railroads belong to the various states
of the empire, by far the longest mile
age being in the hands of Prussia.
Russia has more state ownership than
private ownership Of railroads and
Great Britain has no nublic ownership.
