SOMETIMES, believe, we become
so compIacent about our wellbeing that
we are IuIIed into an apathetic state OF
mind. The only way we can be awak-
ened. it seems. is to be literally Jared
into reality by an extremely dangerous
situation. If people are forewarned OF
such a possibility they are then pre-
pared to meet it with deliberate, we'll
planned actor that results in very
little hardship
DR.. A. H. Quin. president of the
American Veterinary Medical AssO-
citation, brought such a potentially
dangerous situation to the attention OF
veterinarians at the annual meeting of
the Montana Veterinary Medical AsSO-
citation held recently in Great Falls.
Rinderpest is an acute, highly con-
tagious and fatal disease of ruminantS,
particularly cattle. 1t is characterized
by Inflammation, hemorrhage and er0-
sions of the mucous membranes of the
mouth and other portions of the diges-
tive tract accompanied by profuse
diarrhea. It is caused by a virus.
Rinderpest has existed in Europe and
Asia since ancient times.
Death Rate Ce..ld BE High
The disease does not exist in the
United States and Canada. The death
rate in herds Of cattle in this country
could be as high as IS per cent. If
introduced into the United States the
disease could spread like wildfire by
means Of our modern methods of live
stock transportation, just as vascular
exanthema of swine was recently
spread.
An excellent job has been done in
keeping rinderpest away from our
shores in the past by enforcing rigid
control measures restricting traffic
from infected countries. These meas
ures prevent the introduction of in
fected animals, fresh raw products
such as meat and hides or contain
mated utensils. AS the modern world
becomes smaller and smaller, the en-
forcement of these rigid control meas
IRE becomes more and more difficult,
thereby increasing a possibility Of a
sIeak. Then, too, the deliberate,
planned introduction of such a disease
is always to be guarded against.
Big IFS
If rinderpest should appear in this
country and if it could be recognized
Immediately it could be promptly
stamped out without any effect on the
livestock economy. In light of recent
developments in this country, these
two ifs assume tremendous stature.
In 1947 veterinarians at Cornell Uni
versity reported new disease of cat
tie, caused by virus, which was
called virus diarrhea." In 1858 veter-
inarians at Iowa State College reported
new cattle disease, caused by virus,
called ''mucosal disease of cattle. .
Early in 1854 veterinarians in Cali
fornia reported another infectious dis
ease of cattle called upper respiratory
infection. Ear1y in 1855 veterinarians
in Colorado reported extensive out
breaks Of an infectious disease in cattle
called INFECTIOUS rhinotracheitis. " The

which has been set up for the year.
In the discussion which follow
ed, suggestions were given in re-
gard to carrying out the goal.
Glasses in First Aid and Home
Nursing will be held during the

r. NJ. Lineberger, Deputy Di-
rector of the U. S. Savings Bonds
Division. spoke on Savings Bonds.
He asked for the women's CO.
operation in teaching thrift and
pointed out that purchase of
bonds was the safest way to invest
money.
Bonds totaling S183,0OO. were
purchased in the County last year,
while over million dollars are
invested in unredeemed bonds in
the County. He warned that pre-
vious events have proven that
communism overrunS a country
when the economic system has
been destroyed and when loose
morals prevail.
He told the story of seeing a
Chinese family on their way to
the grocery store to purchase food
for the family. They were pulling
a child's wagon which was filled
with money. Upon their return,
he observed the small amount of
food which they had been able to
purchase with all their money.
In conclusion he pointed out
that purchase of Savings Bonds
can curb initiation and wild spend
ing.

The ramps III many milking parlors
are too steep, causing the cows Ia
slip and fall. To avoid slipping, dairy
men in late years have changed the
ramps into stairways with a 4 to 6.
inch riser and "a to 26-inch step.
Good Drainage. Light
The milking parlor must be made
with a good drainage system and
plenty of LIGHT. Heat from the milk
room can be used to keep the parIor
dry and pipelines from freezing i'm
winter. Most of the modern milking
parlors are now built with grain stor-
age overhead with feed conveyer
spout to each stall. Warm water for
washing the cows can also be piped
to each stall
The number of milking stalls will
vary with the size of the herd. A con-
venient, four-stall milking parlor viii
enable good operator, with well
trained cows, to milk IS to 30 cows
an hour. This does not include bring
ing the cows to the holding pen, as
sembling the equipment or cleaning up
after milking
The Milk Room
The milk room, milking parlor and
holding pen are generally built as a
llrait. In planning milk room it is adj
visable to consider the possibility of
using farm bulk tank in the future
The milk room must also be large
enough for a hot water heater, two
or three-compartment wash vat and
racks for storing utensils. It is also
well to plan for a sanitary toilet with
modern plumbing fixtures. The milk
room, toilet and milking parlor must
be made so that they can be kept clean.
Before planning a remodeling job or
building a new setup study the rules
and regulations of the Montana Live
stock Sanitary Board. If dairy1nen
would spend little more time in
specting pIans now in use before build
ing they would most likely develop a
better plant and avoid some Of the
mistakes made by others.

Open Shed-MiIkingg Parlor
System Is Hard to Beat
IF
Properly Planned, Managed
By J. o. TRET5VEN, Dairy Specialist
Montana State College

Grade A milk producers have now
adopted the open shed-lniIking parl0r
system for housing and milking their
dairy cows. The dairynen who have
developed good shed and milking
parIor system are well pleased with
this arrangement. Unfortunately, some
of the sheds in use are not giving the
cows the desired protection and, in
some cases, the milking parIors are
Of faulty design.
The dairynan who enntemplates
building an open shed-milking parlor
will do well to visit several farms
where this system is in use before he
starts building. After the plan is drawn,
it should be submitted to the Livestock
Sanitary Board at Helena for approval
from a sanitary standpoint.
The PLAN
In the shed-parIor plan the cows are
allowed to run loose in large, we'll
constructed open shed. AT milking
time the cows are taken to holding
pen adjacent to the milking parIor.
From here, the cows pass into the
milking parlor where they are washed,
fed grain and MIXED. After the cows
are MIXED they are returned TO the
cow yard and she'd The milking par
Tor has three or more milking stalls,
depending upon the size Of the herd.
The roughage is fed from hay racks
out in the yard or in a shed built espe-
cialIy for that purpose. The milk room
adjoins the milking parlor. Separate
quarters are provided for the calves,
heifers and sick animals.
Advantages and Disadvantages
There are many advantages to this
system.
/. The cost of construction is usually
less than that of the conventional stan
chion dairy barn and milk house. The
sheds are usually made Of lighter and
less expensive material Tn many
cases, old buildings may be remodeIed
into satisfactory sheds or they may
be taken down and the material used
in building a new setup.
2. Tests conducted by several north
ern agricultural experiment stations
show that the milk flow is maintained
as well under this system as when
the cows are stabbed in welI-con-
structed, conventional stanchion barn.
This is true because weIl-fed cows
produce more body heat than is gen
orally needed. Therefore. they do not
need additional feed to make them
comfortable in moderately cold winter
weather, providing they have a deep
bed of straw to lie on and are pro-
tected from cold drafts. Under good
management there will be less teat
and udder injuries when this system is
used.
3. Dairymen report less labor is re-
quired. The shed is cleaned once
year and then largely by power
machinery. Bedding must be added
daily or every other day. at least, dur
ing the winter. Some dairymen remove
the droppings daily while others bury
them in the straw and litter. Roughage
is settled from racks in wholesale
way. lin the milking parlors the cows
come TO be washed, MIXED and fed
grain in place Of the dairyman going
to them.
