special service to shippers, transpOr-

Easy Matter to Transmit Disease
to Healthy Herd.
Various Means by Which Infection Is
Spread Is Outlined by Department
of gricuIture-Disorder
Develops Slowly.

tuberculosis may be introduced into
a healthy herd, says the United States
department of agriculture, by any OF
the following means:
By the addition of an animal that
is affected with the disease : therefore
animals should be purchased only
from herds known TO be free from tu-
berculOSis, or from herds under super
vision for the eradication of the dis
ease.
By feeding calves with milk or 9TH
er dairy products from tubercuIous
COWS; this frequently occurs where
the owner purchases mixed skim milk
from the creamery and feeds it TO his
calves without first making it safe by
boiling or pasteurizatiOn.
By showing cattle at fairs and eX-
hibitiOns; reports have indicated that
numerous herds become infected
through mingiing with infected cattle
at shows OF by occupying infected
premises.
The shipment OF animals in cars
which have recently carried diseased
cattle and which have not been disin-
fected properly.
Community pastures; pastures in
which tuberculous cattle are allowed
to Craze are a source of danger.
In most cases the outward appear
ance of the animal bears no relation
to the degree OF Infection The dis
ease frequently develops so slowly
that in some cases it may be months
or even longer before any symptoms
are shown; therefore be on the safe
side and have your herd tested.

the Disease.
through the spread of infection, other
animals may become exposed and in
fected-
In the work of controlling hog
cholera, for instance, perhaps the
greatest hindrance has been the ten
dency of farmers to attempt the
diagnosis and treatment Of their own
herds, or else to call in an unframed
layman, who frequently does not
recognize the disease or advises the
wrong procedure in the handling OF
the outbreak. According to experts
1t is not always an easy matter to
recognize hog cholera, as symptoms
are sometimes obscure. Other all
ments Of swine, such as pneumonia,
worms and tuberculosis, at certain
stages of development, somewhat re-
semble hog cholera. Accordingly.
training and experience are required
to distinguish between these and hog
cholera.
The practicing veterinarian should
acquire all possible knowledge per-
tanning to control and suppression of
hog cholera. OF late many complica-
lions associated with the disease have
created a multiplicity of opinions
among those who claim TO understand
the various ailments of swine and
even within the veterinary profession
haSty judgment has IN some cases led
to losses which could have been avoid
ed through a careful consideration Of
facts, proper diagnosis and treatment.
This should emphasize the necessity
for the study of cases, including the
history, environments and circum-
stances involved In an outbreak, be-
fore attempting TO decide on the cause
Of trouble. Then comes the physical
examination Of the animals. Look
for abnormal action, breathing, gait.
appetite, digestion and other func-
tons. Next, take the animals tenn
perature with a good, reliable Their
mOmeter. Even then positive dag
nosis is not always possible until a
pOst-mortem examination has been
made, which means an examination of
the various organs and parts OF the
body after death
1t is evident that all swine-produc-
ing localities should have someone
available whose services, based on
training and experience, are reliable
In detecting and prescribing for dis
eases OF live stock And farmers
should realize generally that they can
not afford to jeopardize their herds
by attempting to administer treatment
which requires a certain amount of
technical application It is better to
call a qualified veterinarian than to
run the risk Of losing valuable ami
mails, to say nothing OF the pOssibiIi-
des Of causing a widespread epizootic
outbreak OF q destructive animal
disease.

Members Of the East Potomac Park
Garden club, at Washington, D. c.,
paid themselves last year 90 cents an
hour in vegetables as a result of their
efforts on 10 by 1O0-foot garden plots.
There were 300 Of these home gardens,
producing an average return of SS4
worth of vegetables, or at the rate of
$40 an acre. Not half bad. when it
is considered that the average acre of
farm land in the United States yields
a gross return of a little less than $40.
The all-important point, however, is
that 300 families. or 1900 people,
were fed with fresh vegetables during
the summer, and a supply was canned
or stored for winter use.
Thousands upon thousands of home
gardens were an important factor last
year in supplying food. and it is i'm
pOrtant that many more thousands Of
gardens be placed in 1920. With food
prices still soaring, it behOOves every
householder to plant Il garden and
grow his own supply of vegetables
The job of producing food for the ma
ton has been we'll taken care of by
the farmers, but the spare hours of
industrial workers are now needed to
supplement the efforts of the farmers,
say specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. The man or
woman who works in the store, Office,
or factory cannot be of much direct
assistance to the farmer, but can at
least spend one or two hours every
day in the cultivation of a vegetable
garden in a back yard or vacant lot.
Home gardens are especially need
ed in densely populated sections, where
the people are largely dependent upon
transportation facilities for bringing
their food to them. Every foot Of
suitable land in and around large cit
les should be made to produce its quota
the coming season.
Time to Plan the Garden.
During January, while the southern
gardener is planting peas, onions and
potatoes the middle states gardener is
looking over seed catalogues, and the
New England and Minnesota gar
deners have just settled down for a
hard winter. 1t IS just as important
that the New England gardener be
making his plans during January as
that the southern gardener be planting

izations are studying ways and means
to promote thrift and reduce the high
