In economic importance contagious
abortion In cattle Htamlrt nest in im
pottanco to tuberculosis, pi op ess In
Htaiupliii: out tho disease, however,
haw not been rapid nor great. Tho
disease Is caused by tho llacllhiM abor
tus, and abortions occur compaia
tlel iiifieqtiently from outside Injury
Btiih as blows, horn thrusts, falls, etc.,
or the eating of spoiled feed or certain
herbs, as has been the quite common
belief.
I ffoitit have been made to discover
some medicinal agent which would
cure tho disease, and attempts have
also been made to produce a serum,
but this woik Is still In the experimen
tal stago and no reliable curatlu
agent has yet been discovered. Our
main rellanco must still bo placed
upon tho careful and repeated dlslu
fectiou of premises and of animals, to
gether with tho separation of healthy
from diseased animals.
Disinfection of Premises.
Tho thorough disinfection of prem
ises is essential. This may be satis
factorily accomplished by carrying out
tho following directions:
1. Sweep ceilings, sldo walls, stall
partitions, lloors nnd other surfaces
until frco from cobwebs nnd dust.
2. Removo all accumulations of filth
by scraping, nnd If woodwork hns bo
como decayed, porous or absorbent, It
should bo removed, burned nnd re
placed with new material.
3. If floor Is of earth, removo four
inches from tho surface, and in places
whero it shows staining with urlno a
sufficient depth should bo replaced to
expose fresh earth. All earth removed
Khould bo replaced with earth from nn
uticontamlnntcd Bourco, or a now floor
of concrote may bo laid, which Is very
durable and easily cleaned.
4. All refu'so and material from
Btablo and barnyard should bo re
moved to a placov not accessible to
cnttlo or hogs. Tho manuro should bo
spread on fields and turned undor,
whilo tho wood should bo burned.
C. Tho entire interior of tho stable,
especially tho feeding troughs nnd
drains, should bo snturnted by a dis
infectant, uh liquor crcsolls composl
tUB (U. S. P.) or carbolic ncld, six
ounccB to every gallon of water In
each caso. After this has dried, tho
stalls, walls nnd ceilings may bo cov
ered with whitewash (llmo wash), to
each gallon of which should bo added
four ounces of chlorido of lime.
Tho best method of npplylng tho dis
infectant and tho llmo wash is by
means of a strong sprny pump, such
as thoso used by orchardlsts.
This method 1b efficient In disinfec
tion against most of tho contagious
and Infectious diseases of animals,
nnd should bo applied immediately fol
lowing any outbreak, and. as a matter
of precaution It may bo UBed onco or
twice yearly.
C. It Is Important that arrangements
bo mado to admit a plentiful supply of
sunlight and fresh air by providing nn
ample, number of windows, thoreby
eliminating dampness, stuffiness, bad
odor nnd other Insanitary conditions.
Good draluago Is nlso very necessary.
If tho ubo of liquor crcsolls compost
tus, carbolic ncld or other coal-tar
products Is inndmlsslblo because of
tho readiness with which their odor Is
Impnrted to milk nnd other dnlry
products, bichloride of mercury mny ho
UBod In proportion of ono to 800, or
ono pound of bichloride to 100 gallons
of wator. However, all portions of the
stable soiled with manure should first
bo thoroughly scraped and cleaned, as
tho albumin contnlned In manuro
would otherwlso greatly diminish tho
disinfecting power of tho bichloride
Disinfection with this material should
bo supervised by a veterinarian or
other person trained In the handling
of poisonous drugs and chemicals, as
tho blchlorldo of mercury 1b a powerful
corrosivo poison. Tho mangers nnd
feed boxes, after drying following
spraying with this material, should bo
wnBhed out with hot wator, bb cattle
aro especially nusceptlblo to mercurial
poisoning. The blchlorldo solution
should bo nppllcd by means of a spray
pump, as recommended for the liquor
cresolls composltus.
In addition, tho yards should be
cleaned by removing all litter and ma
nuro and disinfected by sprinkling lib
orally with a solution of copper sul
phate five ounces to a gallon of water.
Milking stoolB and nil other Imple
ments should also bo thoroughly dis
infected, Disinfection and Treatment of Ani
mals. To prevent tho bull from carrying
tho Infoctlou from a. diseased cow to
a healthy one, tlrst clip tho tuft of
long hair from the opening of thu
sheath, then disinfect the penis ami
sheath with a solution of one-half pet
cent of liquor ciomiIIs composltus,
ljtol or trlkresol, or 1 per cent creo
lln or carbolic acid, or 1 to 1,000 po
tnsslum permanganate In warm water
The only apparatus necessaiy Is it soft
rubber tube with a laigo funnel at
Inched to one end, or nn ordinary foun
tain syringe and tube would sere the
purpose. The tube should be Inserted
Into tho sheath and the foreskin held
with tho hand to prevent tho immedi
ate escape of tho tluld. lOlnvato tho
funnel as high as possible, and pour
In tho fluid until tho preputial sack Is
lilted. In addition to this, tho hair of
the belly and Inner sides of tho thigh
should bo sponged with tho antiseptic.
This disinfection Hbould Invariably
precedo and follow every service.
An aborting cow should recclvo Im
mediate attention, nnd tho animal
should ho removed to separate quar
ters, where sho can rccelvo npproprl
ato treatment. Tho fetus, membranes
and discharges aro particularly dan
gerous nnd should bo gathered up nnd
destroyed Immediately by burning or
burial In somo safe place, nud this
followed by thoroughly disinfecting
tho stall. Tho uterus should bo Irri
gated dally with ono of tho nuttsep
tics mentioned for tho bull, using tho
samo apparatus, nnd Irrigation should
bo continued until dlschargo ceases.
In addition, tho external genitals, root
of tall, escutcheon, etc., should bo
sponged dnlly with a solution twlco as
strong ns that used for Irrigation, nnd
this hitter treatment should bo given
tho nonnbortcrH ns well. Should tho
preliminary symptoms of abortion bo
detected, tho animal should ho re
moved from tho herd and treated aa
above.
After abortion, breeding should not
again bo attempted within two months,
or until tho dlschargo shall havo
censed, as tho uterus would not bo
normal and tho animal would either
not concelvo or would abort again In
a short tlmo.
Greut caro should bo used In pur
chasing cattle, and cows not known
to bo frco from tho disease should bo
kept In separate quarters until this
point la determined. If a hord bull
Is not kept, then great caro should bo
exercised to know that tho animal
usod Is frco of disoaso and to see that
ho Is properly treated both beforo and
after service
Whcnover it becomes necessary to
separate diseased and healthy ani
mals, It is especially important that
different attendants and utensils be
provided for tho two groups.
It Is manifestly Impossible to go
Into details within tho scope of a short
article, and It is theroforo suggested
that a competent veterinarian bo em
ployed to Buporvlfle disinfection of
premises and ndvlso as to tho meth
ods of treatment.
CLEANLINESS IN THE DAIRY
Moat Common Source of Filth Is Cow
at Milking Time Avoid Practice
of Wetting Hands.
Tho hnnds should nover bo wet when
milking. Somo milkers follow tho
practlco of wetting their hands by
dipping them into tho milk. This is
a filthy habit and Introduces a great
many bacteria Into tho milk. Theso
bacteria havo their effect, first, upon
tho flavor of tho milk and cream, and
later upon tho butter.
Tho most common sourco of filth la
milk is tho cow at milking time It
sho has a cake of manuro on her sldo,
it Is almost imposslblo to milk her
without getting somo of tho manuro In
tho milk. With this filth Is not only
Introduced the had flavor of tho ma
nuro Itself, but also Innumerable bac
teria which develop when they aro in
tho milk at a favorable temporaturo
very rapidly ani bring about flavors
in tho milk similar to tho flavor of tho
filth with which thoy wcro Introduced.

Care for Currant Bushes.
Currant bushes should bo dusted
with whlto hellebore or parts greon,
or sprayed with a decoction of hello
boro at tho first appearance of the
currant worms. Thorough cultivation
should bo practiced at all times.
Makes Gardening Easier.
A good hand cultivator makes gar
dening easier. With proper attach
ments, furrows may bo opened, seed
covered and woeds killed.

at other tlmos very slowly, bo that I
would hardly bo nblo to do work for
an hour or two after breakfast, and It
I walked up a hill, It gavo.me a Berero,

"I had no idea of what the trouble
was until a friend suggested 'that per

tried leaving off the coffee and began
drinking Postum. The change cams,
quickly. S am glad to say that I am
now entirely free from heart troublo
and attribute the relief to leaving off
coffeo and tho use of Postum.
