stock that Is not predisposed to dis
ease. Official tests of herds are made
on request and through cooperation of
the United States Department of Agri-
culture with livestock sanitary off,
Gals. Purchase of breeding stock
from these herds is a wise precautiOn.
Care also should be taken TO obtain
stock adapted TO climatic and local
conditions. The other sources of ami
NAL loss are largely a matter of in
telligent and careful handling.
Sporadic and incidental diseases,
such as disorders of the digestive and
respiratory tracts, can be avoided
largely by proper handling and feed
ing. A proper balancing of rations has
a material influence on the health of
live stock. Too much of any food ele
ment Is likely to result in digestive
disorders, thus predIsposing the ami
NAL TO disease.
Parasitic diseases also carry off
large numbers of valuable animals
every year. They are largely the re-
suit of improper housing and neglect.
The average farmer can not be ex-
pected to have the time and aptitude
for study which will keep him apace
with the latest developments IN feeds
and feeding, animal nutrition and
medicines. hygiene, and other import
ant matters related to the stOck-rais-
ing industry. He can, however, avail
himself of the benefit of the studies
and demonstrations Of specialists who
have devoted their entire time to these
subjects. Every state agricultural col
lege maintains a corps of specialists
whose publications and services are

An AncIet scourge

In an address recently delivered
by Prof. W. II. WEIGH OF Johns
Hopkins University. an account was
given Of the remarkable progress
made in recent years in dealing with
y~enereal diseases. especially syphilis
This progress has been due mainly
TO a series Of brilliant discoveries
in medical science.
The first of these was that Of
Metchnikoff. who in 1903 and 1904
succeeded in injecting apes with
syphilis. Next in order. the germ
causing syphilis was discovered by
a German protozoologist, Schaudinn
in 1905. after years OF patient re-
search by psychologists and other
laboratory workers all over the
world.
The year after Schaudinn's dis
covery, Wassermaa1 devised the in
genious blood test to detect the
presence of syphilitic infection, and
finally in 1910 Ehrlich succeeded in
producing a potent chemical COM
pound by which the germ Of syphilis
could be killed. Thus all of these
discoveries fall within the first de-
cade of the present century. and
they have done much to help the
medical profession overcome one OF
the greatest scourges OF mankind.
That much still remains to be
done is clear when one reads the
remarkable story told by DR.. Stokes
Of the Mayo clinic, in his booklet
entitled "Today's Problem in Dis
Ease Prevention" Readers Of this
