HOW rusELcULosIs SPREADS.


 Farmers Bulletin No. 1069, issued by the United States department of agriculture, should be in the hands of Connecticut farmers who are fighting tuberculosis in their herds. Elimina- tion of bovine tuberculosis not only will help the public to safer milk but will bring profits to the dairymen by increasing the efficiency of his herd.
 The tuberculosis COW is the great est source of danger to healthy cattle" reads the bulletin. Any reacting cattle not promptly removed from the herd constitute a constant source of infection.
 "Tuberculous cattle, sooner or later, begin to give off the germs of the dis ease. These germs escape by the mouth, nose, and bowels, in the milk, and other discharges. The discharged germs are carried in the air for time until they fall to the ground.
 Animals in adjoining stalls may take in the germs in the feed they eat and thus contract the disease. Con tinuouse water troughs in barns con- taiRing diseased cattle are a source of danger. Drinking holes containing material from infected animals are likewise dangerous.
 Failure to clean and disinfect the premises occupied by the diseased cattle constitutes another source of danger. Infected milking tubes and the practice of feeding calves with ray milk from tuberculous cows are other means by which tuberculosis spreads in herd.'

The beak and ear lobes are white. while the pelvic bones are thin, pliabie and wide apart and the skin is thin, loose and shows no in- aication Of hard fat. The space be- tween the pelvic bone and the end Of the breast bone is wide. The breast bone is soft. piiable and prominent. Shirker hens are characterized by

The spread between the pelvic bone and the end of the breqast bone is narrow, while the small bones on either side of the breast bone are hard and well covered with flesh. The skin is thick, hard and underlaid with fat.
 Tn making physical examination of the fowls for production efficiency, hold the hen with the breast bone in the palm of the hand. with the flesh part of the legs held firmly on either side of the foreinger.

IMPORTANCE OF LIME.

Continued high prices of all feeds make more important than ever the production of clover hay on the farm. Extensive observation of lined and unlimed clover seedlings the past year indicate an almost universal need of lime throughout the state, says Hen ry Dorsey, Of the Agronony Depart ment, at Connecticut Agricultural College at Storrs.
 Many seedlings in oats show good clover stands to the point where the last bit of lime was spread. Beyond this point the clover is absent and the grass stand usually poor. These observations have been made where the farmer purchased his own lime. They have also been made in a few instances where lime was supplied free by the Lime Association the past spring. This early response to lime indicates it's great need for one would hardly expect results from a lime treatment within, the first six months after application.
 In purchasing lime, the farmer should study the analysis of the goods. That form is best which fur nishes the largest number of pounds fer | dollar of oxide of calcium on the land. If ground limestone is bought, elt-cIlL4OII SIIOuAu dISO DS ven u US fneness. This material should pass a 40-mesh sieve. Caustic or hydrated lime is disagreeable to apply. but is effective in sweetening the soil.
 The farmer should apply ton of lime or two tons of ground limestone. This should be well worked into the surface of the soil when preparing the seed bed. Before repeating the appli- cation three to five years may elapse when the same amount will again be needed. Lining the land should be- come 2 regular practice, and it's appli- cation should come at regular place in the crop rotation. This will mean larger crops of better quality.

VENTILATION AND SANITATION.

The relationship between the venti- lation and the sanitation of soils is very close.
