Here are some Of the priRcipa
benefits from the tuberculosis eradi-
cation. Increased value of individual
animal and increased herd value.
Ability to ship interstate from ac-
credited herds without further testing
for one year. Listing of owners name
in pamphlets published By the respec-
tive states and the Bureau of Animal
Industry. Confidence by those who de-
sire to purchase cattle offered for sale
are free from disease germs. Elimina
ton of economic losses caused by
dis ase. / am receiving numerous re-
quests for applications for accredit-
ed tuberculous work and will say that
anybody wanting to get these apnli-
cations can get them by writing OF
calling at my office for same.
ssCow testing associations in Wis
consin are just as numerous as ever
in spite of the comparative low prize
es that the dairy farmer is now re-
ceiying for his dairy pro iucts,s SAYS
A. j.. Cramer, Wisconsin College OF
Agriculture, and in charge of COW
testing association work in Wisconsin.
1T is also just as easy to start new
associations il the farmer Is shown
the numerous benefits derived from
an account kept of what the cows IN
the herd are doing. Three new assoc
Citations were started in Waiwortr
county the first of the month. This
makes seven active associations at
work in the county, making it the
banner county in the United States
Mr.. Cramer also said that eight as
sociations in the past three months
have held funerals for their last scrub
sire and have been put on the pure
bred list. This means that go per
cent of the associations have not q
scrub sire in them.
The freight on agricultural lime
stone has been reduced on the North
western road, which will amount to
about 10 cents a ton. This means
quite a saving in carload lot. Ii
there is anybody thinking of ordering
limestone, would be glad to get pric-
es per ton delivered to your station.
