THE FAMILY COW
 NEEDS ATTENTION
Should Be Tested for Evi- dence of Disease Known
 as Undulant Fever
SOME VALUABLE HINTS

The family COW, so prevalent in Connecticut's rural districts, may be a source of disease known as unduiant fever either through con- tact or through its milk and should be periodically tested for evidences of this disease, the State Depart ment of Health warned today. Nec- essity for testing or other precau- tions is borne out by marked in- crease in the disease among hu- mans this year.
 z During the first six months of 1892, IF cases of undulant fever have been reported in Connecticut as compared with 20 cases during the entire year of 1931. Since the disease was made reportable on July l, 1928, a total of "A cases have been reported in the state, so that the trend at present Is de- finitely upward.
 One of the nose recent cases illustrates how the family cow may spread this disease-to say noth- ing of other infections This fam fly thought their bovine friend per- fectly safe in all respects, but when the head of the family was stricken with unduiant fever the local board of health tested milk, from the COW and found it gave positive reaction to the germ of the disease. Thus, the source of infection was dis covered even before the case was reported to the State Department of Health. Another member of the family was stricken immediate ly afterward.
 There are two ways of prevent ing undulant fever in human con- sumers of milk. One is to pasteur- ize the milk, a process now gener- ally applied to large milk supplies, but one not practicable for milk from the family COW. The best procedure there, unless the COW has been tested, is to boil the milk. thus killing the germs. That boiled taste" is a sign of safety. Having the COW tested, however, avoids the bother of boiling.
 The Commissioner on Domestic Animals has compiled literature to aid both owners of family and diary cows in keeping them free from disease.

are few desserts that may be help

not too well occupied, prepare and
bake pastry shell or two, or bake
the shells on patty tins for individual
pies. These will keep well for few
days and it will be found most help

with a meringue and have dessert

may be filled with crushed fruit,
topped with whipped cream, or they
may be filled with butterscotch fill

that seems desirable or is well liked.
