Tuberculosis Is a trvnsmllsfbIe dis

Of the state experiment station staff.
ut is rarely inherited or handed down
from its parents, but may be intro
duced into the herd in a number OF
ways. The purchase Of a diseased
animal and it's introduction into the
herd offers one possibility. Feeding
the herd mixed factory by-products,
such as raw creamery skim milk or
whey is another way in which T. B.
may come into the herd. Direct con-
tact with an infected animal is the
third possibility.
ct is almost impossible to detect
the disease in an animal by careful
examination. Even the most expert
enced and careful veterinarian cannot
be sure by a physical examination
whether an animal is tubercular or
not. This is especially true when the
disease is not widely distributed
throughout the body. A badly dis
eased animal loses flesh, the coat be-
comes rough the eyes dull and star

Excellent Ration for
Fattening Market Ducks

Ducks are fattened easier and
quicker than any other class of poul-
try, if they are properly fed and ham
died. Here is an excellent fattening
ration: Two parts cornmeal, one part
each Of wheat bran and middlings,
one part ground oats, two parts ground
beefscrap. To this add three or four
per cent of coarse sand or grit and
mix the whole together with milk,
sweet or sour. Give them all they
will eat of this mixture three times a
day, if you are In a big hurry to force
them along; or, If you haven't time to
do that, give them the mash as often
as convenient, and keep dry grains be-
fore them in boxes all the time. See
that they have plenty of water to
drink, and keep it in troughs so that
several ducks can partake at the same
time. Don't give them too much lib
erty while fattening them for market,
for they fatten quicker in small quiet
runs. Ducks are nervous and easily
frightened; dogs and loud strangers
often cause serious disturbances. A
thorough fright will cause d duck to
lose more flesh and healthy growth
in half an hour than good care and
food will restore in several days. That
may sound like nonsense, but It's the
experience Of all who have tried it.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
CROSSWORD, shrubby plant very
plentiful on the range in some parts
Of the West, has been the cause of
occasional large losses of sheep. This
plant was listed as poisonous 20 years
ago, but only recently have investiga-
lions been made by the United States
Department of Agriculture which
brought out definite information con-
corning the symptoms and the condi-
tons under which poisoning will &C
cur. The results of this work are con-
tanned il. Department Circular 279, en-
titled "Greasewood as a Poisonous
Plant"
The Investigations have established
that under most. conditions this plant
is a good forage for sheep, and dam
gerous when it is taken in consider
able quantities, at least 1.5 pounds to
the hundredweight of animal, in
very short time. Losses may be pre-
vented by taking care that sheep do
not Craze too long on crossword
when they are very hungry. Animals
that once show the symptoms usually
die; in other words, quantity of the
plant which will cause the symptoms
win cause death.
The greasewood plant, which is
sometimes known as "chico," is light
green colored, scraggly, with spiny
branches and slender, fieshy leaves
about III inches long. It is common
" recognized by western stockmen,
but there are several other plants
sometimes called greasewood.
