VARIOUS BREED

Relative Freedom From Disease Depends on Kind of Management Herd Receives.

RECORDS OF TUBERCULIN TEST Percentage of Reactors In Purebred Hereford Herds Wa.i Unusually Low Eradication Measures " Are Encouraged.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) The relative freedom of a herd of cattle from tuberculosis depends- on the kind of management the herd receives rather than upon a resistance inherent In the cattle themselves. This conclusion, applying to 14 recognized breeds of cattle in the United States, is based on a study of olllcial tuberculin-test records for nearly half a million animals. As a basis for answering inquiries reardinff e prevalence of tuberculosis in vari classes and breeds of cattle, the f oral bureau of animal Industry has compiled all of Its test records since the beKTiuiIntf of tuberculosis-erac'Ication work. Result of Tuberculin Tests. The results, though capable of receiving many Interpretations, fail to .show that any breed can be considered safer from tuberculosis than cnother. Of aO.ßTO Hereford cattle tested in purebred herds, the percentage of reactors uns unusually low only 0.77 per cent. I5ut In prade herds of the same breed the percentage of reactors was 5.11. In the Aberdeen-Angus breed the experience was reversed. Purebred herds showed 5.70 per cent of reactors, compared with 2..'9 In grade herds. Among the Shorthorns T.7. per cent of tuberculosis was found in purebred herds and 3.74 per cent In grade herds, about 77,000 animals being Included In the computations. Although It has been frequently asserted that dairy cows, by reason of closer housing, have more tuberculosis than beef cattle the olllcial figures fall to support that assumption. In some

A Registered Hereford Biill Used in Grading Up a Herd. -dairy breeds the percentages of reactors were relatively high, but In others the percentages were low. Likewise in dairy herds, as with beef cattle, there was little uniformity between the proportion of reactors for purebreds and grades representing the same breed. O Efforts of Owner Count Most, lirielly, the figures Indicate that the freedom of a brd from tuberculosis Is inlluenced chletiy by the efforts of the owner to keep tl: herd healthy, not by the breed. Son e breeders associations have been noticeably active In encouraging their members to adopt tuberculosis-eradication m e a s u r e s. The figures are believed to rellect such activity. Furthermore, the compilations disprove the assertion, sometimes made, that purebred herds are more susceptible to tuberculosis or have more of it than grade cattle. In tact, the highest percenfrge of tuberculous cattle in any gt . -;p was for grades.

PREVENT SEEDING OF WEEDS

Early Plowing Retards Maturity of Many Noxious Plants and Also Benefits Soil.

Karly plowing prevents the seeding of many weeds that would mature during the fall. It also covers up many weed seeds and causes them to germinate to be killed In the fall before they can produce more seed, Karly fall plowing opens up the soil so that more of the fall rains soak into the land, often a considerable advantage. Karly fall plowing also gives time for any green manure or stubble that is plowed under to be-, come somewhat decayed and be available for growing crops the following vear.

LOW GRADE WHEAT FOR FEED

Does Not Contain Quite as Much Fat. tening Material as Corn, But More Protein.

If your wheat grades very low, you should consider whether it is not worth more to you for feeding purposes. At the present prices of feeds, wheat should be worth .$1.S0 per bushel for feed, particularly If there is some dockage In It. Wheat does not contain quite as much fattening material as corn, but more protein, which is the milk producing and growing substance. For this reason It makes an excellent feed for milk for cows as a part of the grain ration. It also will make a good feed for pigs.

Easier to Get Stand Where Sweet Clover "Has 'Been Previously Grown Bacteria Needed. It seems to be somewhat easier to get alfalfa started where sweet clover has been previously grown, as the sweet clover is more likely, to give a better infestation of the proper bacteria to the soil, but it Is not necessary to grow sweet clover first when the alfalfa seed Is well Inoculated. Kven If sweet clover is to be grown first Its seed should be Inoculated or it may not grow much.

Special Care of Baby. That Baby should have a bed of its own all are agreed. Yet it is more reasonable for an infant to sleep with grown-ups than to use a man's medicine in an attempt to regulate the delicate organism of that same infant. Either practice is to be shunned. Neither would be tolerated by specialists in children's diseases. Your Physician will tell you that Baby's medicine must be prepared with even greater care than Baby's food. A Baby's stomach when in good health is too often disarranged by improper food. Could you for a moment, then, think of giving to your ailing child anything but a medicine especially prepared for Infants and Children ? Don't be deceived. Make a mental note of this: It is important, Mothers, that you should remember that to function well, the digestive organs of your Baby must receive special care. No Baby is so abnormal that the desired results may be had from the use of medicines primarily prepared for grown-ups.
