There were objections which could not be overcome, - CIRCUMVENTING THE CATTLE TICK. Prof. Yr, II. Dalrjmple of the Louisiana station, in an address to Nebraska stockmen, said: We in the South consider, so fur as our cattle interests are concerned, and we might also say, those of the Northern breeder who aims at creating a market in the South, that perhaps the most valuable discovery ever made is, that when a few drops of blood are drawn from one of our native animals, and injected underneath the skin of a susceptible one, it will produce in the latter a mild attack of Texas fever, from which. In the great majority of cases, the animal so treated will recover, and afterwards be able to withstand subse quent attacks of the disease, hroughi about by transmission of the specific organism through the medium of the common cattle-tick- , or. In other woids. become Immune. I do not know Just how It Is up here In Nebraska, but down our way, there are still to be found a few, people, the exact number I have never attempted, to estimate, who have a sort of Ingrained aversion for anything to which the term scientific Is applied, but who at the same time, seem absolutely oblivious to the fact, that scientific Investigation, about which they appear to possess such crude notions, and at which they are Inclined to sneer, as If there was some Juggling connected with It, Is nothing more nor less than persistent, painstaking searching after the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. In this very work of Immunization, we have an excellent Illustration: Texas fever, the hitherto dreaded bane and bugbear or every Southern stockman, below the fever line, whose desire It was to purchase. In northern latitudes, pure bred cattle for the purpose of upbuilding and im proving his degenerated herds, cither of beef or dairy animals, has almost as many names as there are breeds of cattle, and Just as many theories as to its cause and methods of treatment. And it is probable that such a chaotic state of affairs would still have existed had It not been for the Indefatigable, dogged, and persistent efforts of the scientist In his search after truth, which has resulted in the accuracy of the knowledge now possessed relative to the true cause and nature of the disease, and the more intelligent and effective measures by which to combat its ravages. As has been previously hinted, the actual, or exciting, cause of Texas fever is a germ a malarial type of germ belonging to the protozoa, the lowest form of animal life. Technica ally, this organism Is known as and It can be blgeminum, found within the red blood cells of any of out native southern cattle that have been exposed to tick Infestation. It tnay be' of Interest to state at this point that we have Southern natives, however, that are This may appear rather strange to some of you, as it did to many, including some of our leading when a South Carolina herd of cattle became Infected with Texas fever after exhibition at the .Charleston Exposition In 1901. The explanation of such an occurrence, however. Is quite simple, when we realize that the tick Is, so far as we know, the only Intermediary host of the disease-germ- , and that there are many places in' the southern states, as, for example, the alluvial lands of my own state, or lands subject to periodic Inundation, on wnich ticks are rarely to be tound. Consequently animals born and raised on such tick-frebecause they places are have not had the opportunity to become inoculated by the natural method, via., through the intermediation of the tick. But, If animals so raised are afterwards placed upon ticky pastures, they will contract the fever just as surely as If they had been imported from North of the Federal Quarantine Line. In short. It Is, with us, a question of ticks, or no ticks. slelght-off-han- "piro-plasm- said the elderly youve got used to It yet and Its so the steps.

While the use of tuberculin as a diagnostic of tuberculosis of cattle has been undoubtedly abused In many Instances where forcible entry was made Into private stables by unprofessional, uneducated employes of state officials, the fact remains that it Is, properly used, a reliable and valuable agent In detecting the presence of the disease. There need be nothing hidden in the use of tuberculin. Any intelligent farmer may use tt successfully himself with a little Instruction. We have given such instruction many times and results following the first use of the agent have been more than successful. This being the case we have always advised that tuberculin should be employed when there is reasonable Suspicion in the mind of an owner that one of his cattle may be afflicted with tuberculosis and more especially when the udder ts the seat of the trouble. We And that it Is a common thing for a milch cow to show the following symptoms: The udder becomes caked (gargetty) now and then and recovers without treatment. There is no good reason for the attack. The cow suffers no chill or fever. She eats well and appears healthy. The milk from the affected teat or quarter is changed in quality for but a few days then becomes normal again. Tuberculosis is never suspected by the owner, but In these cases we always suspect tt and consider It by far the most dangerous form of the disease so far as users of milk are concerned.- Quite recently a cattle breeder sent us the following report of a cow owned cow dropped by him: "A her first calf, carried full time, months ago, and has not stood to service yet. She was a very poor milker and the calf was taken from her when three or four months old and the cow dried off. In a short time it was noticed that one of her rear teats was larger than normal, as though it might have been caked a little in drying her up.

Breeders and Importers of draft and coach horses are taking a lively interest In tho coming American Royal Live Stock Show, to be held in this city October and the indications are that the exhibit of horses will be a large one, and one of excellent quality. Messrs. Wolcott, Beers & Co. of Kansas City have offered $500 in cash prizes for the horse department of the show. McLaughlin Bros, of Columbus, O., and Kansas City, have just announced that they will contribute $300 to the fund for prizes, and that they will exhibit 30 to 40 of their best animals. Crouch & Son of Lafayette, Ind., and J. W. Robison, have also signified their intention to enter large numbers of animals. It is expected that the Perch-eroassociation will offer a liberal sum in prizes. The success of the sheep department, one of the .new departments to be added to the show this year. Is assured. Dwight Lincoln of Milford Center, O., secretary of the American Rambouillet Sheep Breeders Association, and F. W. Harding of Waukesha, Wis., breeders of Shorthorn cattle and Ramboujllet sheep, are working enthusiastically to get a large representation of their favorite breed. They have raised $100 by individual subscriptions to be added to the amount offered by the Kansas City Stock Yards Company for prizes. The stock yards company offers $200 In cash to each of the breeds of sheep exhibited. Leading breeders of Shropshire, Southdowns and Oxford Downs have signified their intention of taking part in the sheep exhibit The erection of a new barn to be used for the sheep, goat and swine exhibit, has just begun. This will take the place of the tent used last year for the swine and goat exhibits. Jno. M. Hazelton. n straw-colore- n Cots-wol- TREATMENT OF THE SOW. Young sows should be liberally fed on flesh and foods, such as ground oats and wheat bran. In summer they should have a run on clover, and in winter comfortable quarters, with access to the yard. It should never be forgotton that exercise is essential for breeding sows. Sows should not be mated before they are nine months old. At all times they should be kindly treated. A good brood sow Is worth caring for, as she is more profitable than a brood mare. Her progeny mature more quickly, do not require such expensive stabling, are exposed to less risks, and a ready market is always obtainable for them. In winter a ration of grain roots and clover hay, with access to a yard for exercise, is an economical and suitable way of caring for brood sows. The farrowing pen should be roomy and warm, with just a sufficiency of litter. In very cold weather It is a good plan to heat a couple of bricks and put them In a basket, cover with chaff, and then put the young pigs on this until all are farrowed, when they may be placed near the teats. hours after For the first twenty-fou- r farrowing give the sow nothing but perhaps a drink of warm water, as food or slops may kill her. The act of a sow in eating her young is often the fault of the owner in feeding food prior to farrowing, and giving little, or no exercise. Prof W. J. Fraser. g d pattern.

Cow reported to be in first rate general health with not the slightest suspicion of tuberculosis on the part of the owner was by the above tuberculin test proved to be very dangerously tuberculous. Her udder was doubtless the seat of the disease, but glands throughout the body were also no doubt involved in the disease. The cow that has stood next to this cow In stable for some time was also tested and showed by her reaction to the tuberculin that she Is to be considered suspicious and a subsequent test in a few months may show plainly that she has contracted the disease without doubt. There Is surely a valuable lesson to be learned from this case. Farmers Review, e PRACTICAL "Yes, said the boy with the dirty face who was smoking a cigarette, He was sore all right.
