Tuberculosis is Cattle aai Petf k.
At the Internfitional Congress off
Veterinarians, held at Brussels last year,
there was an exhaustive discussion of
the following questions relating to tub
erculosis, phthisis, or consumption, as
h is commonly known:
First What is the influence t hered
ity upon its propagation?
Second What is the influence of con
tagion? Third What are the primitive meas
ures to be employed against the bad
influence that may be produced by the
utilization of the meat and milk of ani
mals affected with the disease?
The concluston is reached that tuber
cle is propagated by hereditary and
contagion, and numerous cases were
cited in support of thi9 view. As to
the infectious nature of the disease
there has been little dissent, especially
since the discovery of the bacillus of
tubercle. In view of the fact that con
sumption is transmissible by infection,
the importance of adopting such meas
ures as will prevent propagation of
disease was recogni7.ed. In opening the
discussion Mr. Lydtin said: "Phthisis
is so common a disease that it deserves
before any other ailment the name of
universal panzotoic. This disease not
only touches the preservation of our
cattle, but also the health of man. If
we succeed in solving the question we
shall have reached a noble object that
of protecting at the same time the
prosperity and health of the public."
The following resolutions were pres
ented, as embodying the opinions of the
veterinarians there assembled, and may
be taken as embodying the views of
many if not most of the scietiflc men
who have made this matter a special
study:
Tuberculosis is a malady which is
transmissible by heredity and by conta
gion. It is a disease which should be
combated by sanitary police measures.
Eveiy stock-owner should be com
pelled to declare to the authorities the
existence of tuberculosis among his
animals, and should give notice when
he observes any symptoms which lead
him to suspect the existence of the dis
order. It should also be compulsory
to put the suspected animals in such a
position as will prevent risk of the ex
tension of disease to other animals.
This obligation is to be made to apply
to every person having charge of
animals in transit, and also to the
owners of stables or pastures in which
animals are kept. The same obliga
tion to give notice of tuberculosis is to
rest upon all veterinary surgeons or
persons concerned in treatment of the
diseases of domestic animals ; also on
all whose business it is to de
stroy or utilize or in any
way manipulate the carcasses of
animals. The existence of the disease
and its locality is to be made public,
and even in the herd in which it has
appeared is to be named.
Meat from tuberculosis animals is
not to be sold for consumption unless
it is certain that the disease was in the
incipient stage, and that the meat
presents the appearance of being first
class in quality.
The inspection of animals afflicted
with tuberculosis is to be performed by
a veterinary surgeon who is to be sole
judge as to" the litness or otherwise ol
the meat for human food.
Milk of diseased animals is not to be
used for food of man or animals, and
milk of animals which are suspected ol
contamination is not to be used until
after it has been boiled.
Compensation to owners of diseased
animals for losses sustained from the
operation of the above police measure
is to be provided by the State; and, ai
a means for providing the necessary
funds, it is proposed to adopt a system
of compulsory insurance, every ownei
of cattle being compelled to subscribe a
certain sum in proportion to the size ol
his herd.
The popular idea in America has been
that the domestic animals of this coun
try, especially the neat cattle, are al
most entirely free from contagious dis
eases, but in the strong light thrown
upon the matter by the investigations
following England's act in forbidding
the admission of American cattle, the
truth has become widely known. It is
found that contagious pleuro-pneu-monia
has had an almost uninterrupted
existence in the United States for many
years; anthrax, lung-worms and Span
ish or Texas fever kill many cattle each
year, and actinomycosis has been seen
almost every day of the lat ten years,
at least in the cattle markets of the
West. Milk, butter and meat convey
to mankind the living germs of tubercu
losis, with which there is no doubt the
cattle of America are more or less af
fected. By this means this dread dis
ease, which has killed more people than
have been killed by wars, is kept in ex
istence and its hold upon the people is
extended day by day.
According" to the conclusions reached
by M. Daremburg, and set forth by him
before the Academy of Medicine of
Paris, tuberculosis is transmissible by
inoculation, inhalation, or by alimenta
tion; it is always caused by the absorp
tion of a germ from without; when oc
curring by inhalation the quantity ol
the contagion is of little moment; it can
operate only in a suitable soil. Conta
gion is an influence to which all are ex
posed, but which is operative only in
those individuals in whom hereditary
or acquired vices of nutrition have pre
pared a field suited to the growth and
reproduction of the germ. Local and
general tuberculosis differ only in de
gree. Scrofula appears to be a diathe
sis, while tuberculosis is an infection
engrafted upon a diathesis. The infec
tious germs are not usually inherited,
but rather the vices of nutrition which
have provoked the disease in the ances
tors. Finally, the learned gentleman
concludes that the destruction, through
attention to general hygiene, of the
causes which prepare a fit soil for the
reception of the germs, should be a prin
cipal object in the treatment of the dis
ease. After the disease is established
the attack should be made upon thepn
fectious agent, to put a stop to its exis
tence and increase. Chicago Tribune.
Breaks in Wool.
Farmers who keep sheep are some
times painfully surprisea when the
wool is examined by a buyer to find the
fibre breaks off in the middle at some
weak spot and the wool is rejected.
This is an exceedingly bad fault, as it
makes the wool almost worthless ex
cept for felting, and buyers are ex
tremely cautious in looking for it. The
cause is bad care in the winter. Ex
posure, irregular feeding, or anything
that weakens the sheep produces this
effect by stopping the growth of the
wool until the sheep recovers its health.
Many farmers have the belief that
sheep do not need water in the winter,
and that eating snow is more conducive
to their comfort than pure fresh water.
Thirst interferes with digestion. Any
animal can better go without food for a
week than be deprived of water for
half that time. Water is food ia
every sense of the term, for it is a nec
essary of life and contributes seventy
five per cent of the bulk and substance
of an animal, and, as without sufficient
water to dissolve the food this cannot
be digested, the want of water is not
Dnly a serious deprivation of an abso
lutely indispensable substance, but it
produces partial starvation in another
way, because the non-digestion of food
is equivalent to short rations. This so
common neglect is one of the frequent
causes of break in wool. Every other
neglect that interferes with the "contim
aous growth of the sheep is aaotkar
ause. The present time with its assail
rigors calls for precautions in taisrsv
yect. M JT. Timet.
Treating a Lumpy SoIL
There is a difference in this kind of
oil, depending upon the character and
condition of the land when plowed. If
broken up when dry ana hard, the
lumps are readily reduced after a rain
has soaked them, 'if allowed to dry
somewhat. Still, the reduction is not
fully what is desired; tLn ground is
not mellow; only an approach to it
With the aid of frost, a satisfactory
condition can be reached in most cases,

Applied after Plowing will be an addi- !
tionalaid. TWougn working of the .
. M O
surface as
early in the spring
as the
oronnd will allow, and no later -the
point is important will secure a good
seed bed, with the promise of a good
crop, the seed being sown at the time
of working the soil. The land there
after can Le kept good, and even im
prove in condition, until it becomes a
mellow cny loam, which is among the
best of soils. It only needs to continue
to work in manure aud vegetable
material, which sod, irecn crops and
veoetable stable absorbents best lur
nisb. Such land, with the necessary
drainage, makes the b.wt general soil,
allowing all kinds of crops to be grown,
and most of them to the greatest per
fection: for whi'at. a. surpassed: for
oats, barley and peas, equally good;
for corn, in a warm, showery season,
reaching maximum yields, the rich,
warm nver bottoms exceeding it only
in cold seasons. As to gVass and
clover, no soil can equal it either in
quality or quantity.
Here is where farmers have a great
advantage greater than they arc gen
erally aware oL ln-tcau ot availing
'S i
themselves of it, what do we see? Com
paratively little clay soil can be found
that is not more or less hard in a dry
time, and less productive than it ought
to be. Even where manure has been
used, the manure, owing to the unfa
vorable mechanical condition, does not
afford the same beneiit that a mellow
soil admits of, though it will aid some
what in improving the texture. Then
there is the delay of putting the crop
out in the spring, owing to the wet
condition of the land, the water with- '
drawing slowly, and the further danger
of rain extending the delay, sometimes
till too late, the sou becoming more ami
more packed as the time is extended.
To plow it will not do.
Right here is where the great danger
comes in, and where clay soil receives
its greatest hurt. It is usually wet, es
pecially earlj' in the spring. Even if
comparatively dry on the surface, when
turned up it will show mud, or an ap-
E roach to it, which in drying becomes
aked and hard, and no amount of
rain during the season can reduce it to
mellowness. It may be brokeu by im-
Elcments into smaller lumps, but the
arshness, the brick-like quality, re
mains. The frost of one winter
only partially corrects it. It will
take years before it can be brought
to a fine mellow condition, requiring the
action of the elements in connection
with the use of implements and barn
yard manure. Instead of this the
spring plowing is sometimes repeated,
making bad worse. When thus reduced
it is seeded down, with the chances
against a good catch. Not unfroquently
it turns out that the seed has been lost,
and the land has to undergo another
plowing, with sometimes a second fail
ure at seeding; but oftener a poor catch
is made to do, giving a chance for weeds
if the ground is strong enough to grow
them; if not, manure will bring them.
I have seen many fields of this char
acter. In one case the weeds were
plowed under, giving them a shallow
covering and, when rotten, working the
surface with cultivator and harrow,
securing thus a tolerable seed bed fol
lowed by a fair crop of grain and suc
cessful seeding down.
Clay soil is the most difficult of all
soils to manage. It requires the most
careful treatment, and always, whether
in preventing hurt or in curing it. But
it is worth the attention. This atten
tion is, to a greater or less extent,
thrown away if the land lacks drainage,
which, it is well known, it does to a
large extent. Is it a wonder then that
our clay soil, exposed to the hot sun,
and subjected to had treatment in an
undrained state, should yield so lightly,
often not paying expense, when it has
the elements of the best of soils, wait
ing for a chance to develop them?
It is doubtful whether our efforts to
reduce cloddy lands with implements
pay. A certain reduction, to get rid of
the roughness, is necessary, but the
finest condition to which it is reduced is
only to lessen, by division, the size of
the lumps, preventing that close con
tact with the roots which is necessary
to a successful growth, leaving the soil
open to the effect of drought." Time is
required to correct such soil, and the
means are heat, rain and frost, aided by
manure. Plow when the soil is dry
never when wet, not even in the fall,
though it is less harmful," especially
when done late enough to get an effect
of the frost soon after, or before the
ground is dried out. But sometimes a
heavy Snow will fall before the ground
is frozen, and remain till spring as
was the case last winter and pack the
ground, leaving it in a condition for the
SDrin": winds and sun to drv hard. The
safe way is to make it an inflexible rulo 1
to plow when dry enough to prevent
packing and a greasy appearance. With
the land drained there is no difficulty in
effecting this. Then there will be little
trouble from lumpy soil. Prevention,
and not cure, is the true doctrine here,
as with sickness. F. O., in Country
Gentleman.
Coras.
A correspondent asks for description
and trratment of corns in horses' feet.
At first they are simply bruises of that
part of the sole which is between the
bars and wall of the heel, but after
awhile is frequently tho formation of a
horny tumor which presses on the
quick. In some cases the bruise causes
active inflammation and produces mat
tcr.which may burrow generally toward
the coronet, but sometimes around the
toe, and causes disease of the cartilege3
or the bone. In some cases when
the corn is pared out the heels curb
forward and inward, having lost the
support of the sole. The inflammation
and suppuration will in such case be
kept up. The presence of corns may be
determined by lameness in thp animal,
with a tendency to "point," with the
heel slightly raised when at rest, aud a
short stumuling'step when in motion.
If the affected heel is tapped with a
hammer the animal will wince. The
treatment, if it is a recent bruise and
uncomplicated, is to apply a shoe with
the bearing surface of the affected heel
rasped down, and the feet are placed
in water or the walls kept moist with
wetjswabs and the sole with oil meaL
Remove the shoe before it presses on
the heel. If suppuration has taken
place, pare down the heel until the
matter escapes, remove all horn de
tached from the quick and pare the
horn around this to a thin edge, poul
tice until the surface is smooth, dry and
free from tenderness, and then put on
a bar shoe, a leather sole and a stuffing
of tow and tar. Horny tumors must be
pared out, and treated in the same way.

The saving effectedy having wide
tires on farm wagons is noted by the
American Cultivator. It is strange how
slowly so obvious an improvement is
adopted. Like the use of "blinkers,"
the narrow tire hangs on in spite of rea

By many persons splints are regarded,
after a horse has attained a certain age,
as a necessity to his existence, and
thoughthere is a deal of truth in the
observation that scarcely "one horse at
lve years old is unaffected, yet it is not
ecessarily true. Splints are to be
founds among all classes of horse-flesh,
buti'ihe'qnestion of their presence, in
evenliristance, is not proved; by practi:

mal has been reared and the manage

and after being put to work.
Nature and Causes. A splint is a
conversion of the fibrous material
uniting thecanndn-bone and plint-bones
into bone. Generally there is a small
bonv outgrowth present with it, but
the condition may exist without such
evidence. Splint in the fore legs is
more frequently found on the inner
side, being more under the center of
gravity, and the limbs having a greater
liability to concussion. In the hind
legs it is generally on the other side,
and here is more often produced by a
blow or kick. Splints found on the
limbs of aged horses are, as a rule, of
but little importance, but those on ani
mals three or four years old are very
objectionable. A large splint is more
serious than a small one, owing to the
i liability of the animal striking it with
' the other leg when in action. Position,
too, carries a deal of weight; when far
back on the leg it is a great drawback,
as hero it usually interferes to some ex
tent with the working of the suspensory
ligament When close under the ruse
it also frequently hinders the proper
flexing of the joint, and in this place is
more likely to be struck by the oppo
site leg; "when situated on the out
side of the limb a splint is seldom of
.any consequence. When the forma
tion of a splint is accompanied by an
.outgrowth of bone and the inflamma
tory action in the part is got rid of
through the case being properly
treated, the probability is that the out
growth will become" partially if not
wholly absorbed; but a splint, when
once "formed, always exists, whether
there be any decrease or not in its size.
(Hereditary predisposition has undoubt
edly much influence in the case of
splints. Of other causes, concussion is
the main, and injury from external vio
lence. Symptoms. Lameness of the animal
twill draw attention to the limb, and on
passing the hand down the groove, be
tween the cannon and splint bones, an
enlargement will be felt; when there
are two or three little elevations in a
line, it is termed a chain splint. In
jyoung horses the lameness, whilst the
splint is forming, is most marked; it is
levinced when the weight of the body is
'thrown on the limb, and just so much
whether the horse is run on soft or hard
ground. The leg, particularly when
the suspensory ligament is interfered
with, is brought with an outward move
ment to the ground, and often there is
a disinclination of flexion of the knee
to its fullest extent. There is pain on
pressure of the part where the splint is
forming, and more heat in that leg than
the other.
Treatment. Frequently in young
horses, unless the lameness is very
acute, the throwing out of work, feed
ing on low diet and putting on a wet
bandage will be sufficient. In the more
severe cases, and the patient is older,
he should be well prepared for and
have a dose of physic, followed by a
Jow, succulent diet. The leg should bo
well fomented and a warm wet baudagej
applied and kept continually wet.
Cooling lotions are good aids. As soon
as the heat of the leg is sufficiently re
duced, blistering is necessary, and per
haps nothing is better than the applica
tion of ointment of biniodide of mercury
for three or four days consecutively, till
a good scurf is raised. In the course
of from two to four weeks, as a general
rule, the horse will be fit for use again.
Where the splint is large and the lame
ness obstinate, setoning, or that form of
firing kuown as pyro-puuetuation, is
adopted. In the most severe cases the
operation of periosteotomy is prac
ticed. In a general way, however,
these latter operations are not requi
site, and for the former cases nothing
more than has already been spoken of
is necessary. Dr. Smith in Farm and
Home.
A Gold Coast Kin?.
"Old King Peter, down on the Gold
coast," said a former African trader to
S Tribune reporter recently, "was a
tjreat 'swell' among the monarchs of
that region. He was a rich old fellow
and had a large wooden palace and
tifty wives. I have frequently seen
him after diunor lying on a mat, his
head supported by one wife, while two
others fanned him. He fancied himself
a great magician and was so regarded
by his subjects. He had been a great
fighter in his day, but as he grew old
he gave up war and devoted himself to
trade and necromancy. One day I
wanted to go aboard our ship, which
was lying off the King's village. The
surf was so high that no boatwould
venture out. I called on the King and
found him just disposing himself for an
after-dinner nap.
" 'King Peter,' said 1,'what time surf
go down? Me want go aboard ship.'
" 'Surf go down?' said the King; 'me
make surf go down all one time.'
"He took a little vial from a closet,
and going to the beach poured the con
tents of a vial on the water, chanting an
incantation the meanwhile. The next
day the sea was as calm as a millpond,
and every boat in the village was out.
The old King was proud enough of
what he considered his complete victo
ry over the ocean. Poor old Peter, he
is dead now, and all his wars and con
quests and all his necromancy are dead
with him.
"It is extremely dangerous down
there for one not acclimated to get wet.
If a boat is overturned in passing
through the surf, a person thrown into
the water is sure to have the fover, if he
isn't drowned. I was going ashore one
day in a boat in which there were some
women. Being youuger than I am now
and much more gallant, I stood up in
the boat and held up my cloak so as to
shield the women from the flying spray.
Of course I got wet myself and a few
days after I was taken down with the
fever.
"Once when we got down there we
took the Attorney General of Liberia
along. He wanted to prospect for gold.
The natives are extremely adverse to
having any prospecting done in their
country. They want no gold nor any
thing else taken away, except in the
course of trade. We did some digging,
but the natives opposed all sorts of ob
stacles to us and we were unsuccessful.
All the gold we got we got by barter.
The natives do not take very "kindly to
their civilized brethren of Liberia, whom
they call black gem'man.' " X. Y.

The Kangaroo's Tail.
Science, which iu these modern
times utilizes everything, has found a
new service for the remarkable append
age which makes the kangaroo one of
the strangest members of the animal
kingdom. Surgery has been practical
ly revolutionized in the last decade,
and one of its mosthnportaut advances
has been made in the tying of blood
vessels and the cloAire of wounds with
the tendons of animals. It has been
determined that animal tissue properly
prepared may be inclosed in wounds
and become so changed that it is ulti
mately replaced by living tissue, and
this, in its practical bearing, is one of
the most important contributions to
modern surgery. Catgut thus prepared
and applied came into a very wide use,
and at first seemed all that could be de
sired. The connective tissue bundles
of which it is composed are much less
strong aud trustworthy. The tendons
of the large auimals were brought in
to use and found much moro service
able. Many experiments have been made in
this direction, and knowledge was
sought from the Indian tribes who have
long used these materials in the place
of t?i read iu the sewing together of skin$
for tents, robes, making of clothing,
etc. The tendons from tlie tail of the
squirrel were found composed of lonj
parallel fibers, and could be split as lino
and even as floss silk. These, however,
were not large and long enough for
most surgical purposes, and the
thought arose that the immense tail of
the kangaroo would furnish tendons of
size and strength sufficient for any pur
pose. Through the kindness of Mr.
Alonzo H. Newell, of Boston, for many
years a prominent merchant in
Australia, a supply of these tendons
was secured some years since, and
have been used quite extensively by tho
surgical profession. For such pur
poses they are far better thau
those of any other animal, not
excepting the great Northern niooso of
America. The tail of the whale fur
nishes tendous of remarkable length
and size, but they are fatty and fray
out, and on this account can only be
used as ligatures of the larger size. The
tendons of the tail of the kangaroo can
easily be split into threads two feet in
length, rivaling silk in strength, soft
ness, fineness, beauty of color and fin
ish. Such tendons for ligatures or sut
ures promise to supplant silk almost
entirely in surgery. They are of a com
mercial value, which should cause this
innocont, innoffensive animal to be
considered as a friend rather than an
enemy of mankind, aud not to bo
slaughtered because it consumes a little
of the superabundant pasturage of Aus
tralia's enormous ranges. When killed
these tendons should be carefully pre
served, split in the fresh state, quite be
fore any decomposition has ensued, in
to bundles of thread of different sizes,
and dried.
They keep perfectly well in this con
dition, and this is the only prepara
tion required to make them an
article of exportation. It is with
difficulty that they can now be
obtained, except in London, and
they would find ready sale in every
commercial center of tho world. Dr.
Henry O. Marcy, of Boston, in an arti
cle upon the animal ligature, published
in the New England Medical Monthly,
says: "Tendons from the tail of tho
kangaroo have proved the most sat
isfactory of any yet tried," after ex
perimentation with those of many
animals, since they are of sufficient
length and size for any purpose, and
yet may be split very fine and even,
when dried, they closely resembling in
appearance the silkworm gut. There
can be little doubt that these tendons,
antiseptically prepared with care, offer
certain marked advantages over catgut
either for ligature or suture, where it is
important to have them remain in the
tissues unchanged for a considerable
period. In modern wound treatment
the carbolized animal ligature fills a
place of the greatest importance in con
junction with and second only to drain
age and antiseptic protection." Bos

What the Color of Buoys Mean.
"I will tell you something about
painting buoys," said thepilot. "Whon
you enter any harbor in the world
where the channel is marked by bouys
you will find that those on your right as
you pass in are painted red. and those
on your lctt blacK. ll you should see
one painted in red and black horizontal
bands the ship should run as close to it
as possible, because that indicates
tho center of a narrow channel.
Buoys with red and black vertical
stripes always mark the ends of spits
and the outer and inner ends of ex
tensive reefs, where there is a channel
on each side. When red and black
checkers are painted on a buoy it marks
either a rock in the open sea or an ob
struction in the harbor of small extent
with a channel all around. If there are
two such obstructions and a channel be
tween them, the buoy on the right of
you will have red ana white checkers,
and the one on your left will have black
and white checkers."
"Supposing a wreck obstructs the
channel?"
"A green buoy will be placed at the
sea side of the wreck, with the word
wreck' plainly painted on it in white
letters, provided there is aelear channel
around it. Otherwise an even numbei
will be painted in white above the word
wrjssJr when the buoy is on the right
