The cleaning and disinfectlon Of
railroad stock ears Is an important
means Of preventing the spread of In.
fectlous diseases Of live stock. In CON
nectlon with federal control over the
Interstate transportation of live stock,
administered by the bureau of animal
industry, 1T Is required that all such
cars or other vehicles which have CON
talned anil.als affected with commu.
nlcable disease, such as tick fever,
scables Of sheep and cattle, hog chol-
era. etc, be cleaned and dislnfected
under bureau supervision before being
again used in Interstate commerce.
Federal inspection.
All live stock received Mt public
stockyards or at official slaughtering
establishments are Inspected mt the
time they are received by employees
Of the bureau Of animal industry. II
any animals are found 10 be affected
with communicable disease the car
rler which brought them to their des-
tinatlon Is at once notified TO have the
car or other vehicle set aside and
thoroughly cleaned. After that has
been accomplished II is disinfected
under the personal supervision Of
federal employee.
Cars Must Be Cleaned.
Various states also have regulations
requiring that cars must be cleaned
and disinfected before being used IN
the transportation Of certain classes
Of live stock. The bureau Of animal
Industry cO-operates with such states
by having its employees at central
markets supervise the cleaning ana
dislnfection of cars In compliance with
the requirements Of the state 10 which
any stock may he destined.
An idea Of thl magnitude OF this
work may he gathered from the fact
that during the fiscal year ended June
70. 1919. bureau employees personally
supervised the disinfection Of 44,S43
cars. In addition a large number of
motor trucks were handled in the
same manner

DAIRY
FACTS
COOL MILK IN HOT WEATHER
Essential to Pipe Spring Water to
Dairy House. Where Il Should
Flow Into Tank.

City regulations now require that
milk be cooled artiflcially as soon as 1t
Is drawn from the cow. According to
specialists in the United States de-
partment Of agriculture, the most sim
pie and efficient method Of handling
this matter Is to harness natural re-
sources on farms having permanent
springs that flow throughout the year
and do net dry up in the summer.
1t is essential to pipe the spring wa
ter to the dairy house where IL should
flow into concrete tank of size ade-
quate to provide ample space for cool
Ing the maximum production of milk
on that farm. The tank should also he
provided with an outlet or overflow so
that constant stream of water passes
through II. Ingenious farmers may be
able to devise some other use for this
flow Of water during the time when
the tank II not needed for cooling milk.
Ordinarily the temperature of the
spring water in the tank does not get
lower than So degrees +.
On dairy farms where. springs are
not available ii is customary TO use
concrete cooling tanks which are in
sulated with cork and provided with
hinged top, so that ice can be used to
decrease the temperature of the water
in which IT, milk cans are placed.
Generally these tanks are made in two
divisions, so that when most Of the
cows are dry the smaller compartment
can be used for cooling the dairy prod
ucts, as its use necessitates smaller

AID NATIONAL FOREST ROADS
Secretary Meredith Favors More Lib.
eral Financial Cooperation In
Western States.

Speaking before highway represent.
atives for western states, Edwin T.
Meredith, secretary Of agriculture,
stated his belief that In the western
states, where large areas of govern
ment lands are located the federal
government should adopt a system OF
financial cooperation more liberal to
the states than is the case in the rest
OF the country.
VI think we must recognize the fact
that the existence of these/large areas
OF government lands places these
states In a somewhat different situa-
tion from the remainder of the coun-
try" said Mr.. Meredith, "and that II
would be only equitable for the fed
eral government TO increase It's per.
centage of cooperation over the
present basis. | am also heartily in
favor Of continuing the appropriations
for the building of national forest
roads. These forests constitute
great natural resource, and their
preservation and development is m.
tional responsibility which ought to
be met in full measure.
Mr.. Meredith advocated active con.
tinuation of present federal and state
cooperation In connection with state
road systems with the systems Of adj
Joining states in order that the work.
Ing out Of an adequate highway pro-
gram for the whole United States may
proceed In an orderly manner He
also advocated the continuance IT
