McCook TUBERGOLO AMON SIS CATTLE How to Prevent Spread of Dread ful Scourge NO CERTAIN CURE FOR DISEASE By L B Sturdevant M D Depart ment of Veterinary Science Uni versity of Nebraska This is a disease which materially affects stock raising in all parts of the world No climate or locality is ex empt All ages and breeds are at tacked It is also by far the most dreadful scourge with which the hum an race has to do Among Gomestic animals cattle take the disease most easily while hogs are second in this regard Horses are not often attacked Even chickens are subject to the dis ease in lormer years tuberculosis was most commonly found in cattle of city dairies and in pure breeds Although the varieties of the dis ease in man and in the ox have cer tain important differences it is known that the human variety of tuberculosis may attack the ox and vice versa After killing an animal badly af fected with the disease and examining the internal organs one may sea white or yellowish spots or bunches called tubercles which are not nat ural and which are the centers of the disease The organs most often fected are the lungs and the bowels The cause of tuberculosis is a very tiny lorra of vegetable life called the I germ or bacillus of tuberculosis This is so small that the strongest powers of the microscope are required to see it and thousands and even millions of them are present in the diseased animal The bacillus of tuberculosis I was discovered in 1882 by Dr Koch a famous German scientist The most important conditions which favor the disease are a lack of fresh air and sunshine such as comes with close confinement In poorly ven tilated and poorly lighted stables and in close asaociation with tuberculous animals The disease germs enter the lungs with the air usually in the form or dust from ninmirp nnmiiVT frnm tvt I berculous animal or by way of the kje bowels with the food The manure from cattle having tuberculosis is thus the most dangerous means of spread ing the disease The milk of a tuberculous cow may contain germs of the disease especial ly if the itself is affected Such milk is unfit for use Healthy milk is also unfit for use if tuberculous man ure gets into it Unfortunately a tuberculous animal as a rule shows no symptims by which the disease can be detected even in the last stages of the disease The only reliable way of detecting the disease Is the tuberculin test Any pood veterinarian can apply this test In this test a small dose of tuberculin is injected under the skin of the an imal to be tested If the animal has tuberculosis it will have a fever on the day after injection if it is healthy the temperatuie on the day after in jection will be about the same as on the day before as shown by the veter inarians thermometer There is no certain cure for tuber culosis in cattle The cattle which are shown to have tuberculosis by the tuberculin test are called tuberculin reactors The re actors must be removed from the herd at once in order to eep the dis ease from spreading They may he sold to the packing houses to be slaughtered and then examined by the meat inspectois in the employ of the United States rovernment If it is de sired to save tuberculosis cows for a few years in order that these may pro duce calves such cows must he kept quarantined that is to say In a sep arate yard where there will be no chanc for iranure from them to be carried into the vard or pasture where The healthy cattle are kept either by the wind or on the shoes of the men who tako care of them Calves born from tuberculosis cows should be taken from their mothers shortly after birth and be placed with healthy cows before they have a jhance to catch the disease GROWING CROPS IN WESTERN NEBRASKA The Nebraska Experiment Station has just issued bulletin No 118 on Growing Crops in Western Nebras ka This bulletin gives the results of crop production at the North Platte Substation during the past seven years together with the record of precipitation at North Platte for the past 36 years and a discussion of methods of farming for dry land Considerable space is given to show ing the results secured by summer till ing land The yield of winter wheat has been doubled by this method of preparing the seed bed The average yield of plats properly prepared and seeded has been 46 bushels per acre during the past five years The yield from these plats in 1910 when the pre cipitation for the year was only 107 inches was 35 to 37 bushels per acre Summer tilling sod and old land for winter wheat Is strongly advocated The records show that summer tilling also increased the yields of spring grains but not to so great an extent j as the winter wleat Whether sum mer tilling for spring grains is profit able is still an open question though it would prove the most profitable practice during years like 1910 The tests show that the press drill Increases the yield of grain so much beyond the yields secured by sowing broadcast that the farmer cannot af ford to sow grain broadcast as the difference in the yield on a rather small field will pay for the drill The variety tests indicate that the following are superior to or as crood as any other varieties tried Turkey Red winter wheat Durum spring wheat Kherson oats common 6 rowed barley and Substation Calico corn Among the forage crops cane sor ghum ranks first as an annual and ilfalfa first as a perennial on bench land Alfalfa on the table land did not produce forage or see in 1910 The climatic records sh that the average annual precipitation for the past 36 years is 1863 inches and for 1910 107 inches 1910 was the driest year during the 36 years yet fair crops were produced by proper meth ods of tillage This bulletin may be had free of cost by residents of Nebraska upon application to the Nebraska Agricul tural Experiment Station Lincoln E A BURNETT director WESTERN MEADOW LARK Sturnella Neglecta Audubon By John T Zimmer Department of Entomology University of Nebraska One of the more characteristic birds of the region west of the Mississippi river is the Western Meadowlark It is a heavy bodied bird in color brownish above and mostly yellow be low with a conspicuous crescent of black across the breast and with streakings of brown on the sides The outer tail feathers are white a character clearly seen when the bird is in flight The Western Meadowlark is for the most part a ground dweller walking about in search of food and building its nest in the protection of a tuft of grass archrd over to form a sort of dome When singing however the bird likes a more iorty perch and often seeks ti telephone pole fence post or tree from which a i given its flute like notes in a variety of pleas ing calls Another somewhat less fre quent song is of a more prolonged bubbling naure and is uttered while the bird is en the wing Besides enlivening the prairies with its sonss this creature is one of most valuable of our feathered V Na83 - sis y - r isjSs 5 - i X r -Sr-S Sk vs rr Jy ri WESTERN MEADOW LARK friends Its favorite food is insects and these it will eat whenever they can be found In late summer and autumn when they are more plentiful they form its entire diet and even in the middle of winter they form no mean part of its food Of the insects consumed grasshoppers appear to be the favorite kind and the benefit de lived from their destruction is not small Ground beetles are eaten in large numbers mostly the injurious sorts as are also curculios and wee vils May beetles leaf beetles ground feeding caterpillars such as cutworms and an occasional chinch bug Weed seeds of several kinds and sometime corn wheat and oats are used to sup plement the diet of insects when the latter are scarce but the grain is al ways waste matter and is never touched if insects are to be had To sum up the matter then we may consider the Western Meadowlark to be a bird without a single injurious trait On the other hand it does an immense amount of good by destroy ing grasshoppers and other pests and in protecting it we are protecting our own interests fully as much as those of the bird in question HARROW THE CORN It takes some nerve for a man who has never tried it to put a spike tooth harrow onto a field of young corn It looks as if the corn would almost all he uprooted As a matter of fact there is no way the farmer can save time and help his corn crop any better than to harrow the corn once when it is a few inches tall It will save the first plowing and will kill almost all of the germin ated weed seeds And when a boy can drive two or three sections and cover a good sized field in a day it is certainly economy to use the har row The first day after harrowing the corn may look sickly Two or three days however will straighten it up and it will soon show the effects of the cultivation and freedom from weeds I have seen corn double har rowed when it was almost a foot in average height and the results were exceedingly favorable The farmer who has not time for a little bookkeeping will likely never have much to keep books on The ledger is becoming a farm necessity
