' The live stock industry in Ne
fcraska has experienced marvelous
s growth' in the past 40 years. Statis
ties show the total number of cat
tie inebraska in 1880 to be 570,000,
with a valuation of $12,925,960. In
1919 the total number was 2,673.993,
1 th a tota valuation of SU4.BU6.
234. These figures include the total
tiumber of Ihe various breeds of
both the beef and dairy type'
Statistics further show for the
year 1919 that there were 472,944
milk cows in the state. This nutn
ber of cows with an average pro
duction of 2,000 pounds of milk per
year would, make a total of 1,41a,
832,000 pounds of milk. This amount,
it converted into butter, would make
bout 71.729,890 pounds. There
were 61 licensed creameries with
total production for the year 1919 of
0.347,545 pounds. At the present
time Omaha is one of the largest
butter manufacturing centers of the
United States,
In the past few years there has
?teen a decrease in the production as
Well as the number of jows used for
(dairy purposes. - This is primarily
attributable to the high- cost of la
,tor, feed and a scarcity of help on
' the farm willing to do this dairy
work. In Nebraska it is more com
mon for the average farmer to milk
' a number of cows, but this is"strictly
a side line witJThis other farming
activities. If has been difficult for
him to secure help willing, to milk
cows in addition to the regular field
irorlc on .the. farm. .It is for this
reason that it has been necessary in
' ?n any cases to reduce the "number
f lmilk- cows on the average farm
and this has been tfee. cause for a
eleereaseitt botB;a.iBt and dairy, pro
duction to the past two years.', ,
' , ; .Profit; SmalL '
inot'ter feason for this reduction
( probably that in many cases the
producer has not . been paid a profit
, en the cost of .production of dairy
products, -so -that he 1 has : found it
jruch more advantageous to devote
his efforts, to other lines of farm
ing, which could be done with less
help and which .would represent a
greater profit. - x "
A number of activities with the
Intent of stimulating interest in
greater production and especially in
the direction of improving the va
rious types of dairy herds have been
carried on by the United States Bu-
, rcau of Animal. Industry as well as
the extension service through the lo
j'eal; county agents. "The Pure Bred
; Sire on Every Farm," and the Cow
Testing -Associations," have had a
- tendency to interest the younger
niembers of the families in the dairy
industry. The state . and ' county
' fair have haa a further effect in
arousing interest in improving-the r '
various types ot cattle. Beginners
in the pure bred industry should at
tend these fairs as Jthty can see the
best types of the various breeds on
exhibition as well as gather valuable
information relating to the various
lines of breeding and can mingle
with the more experienced cattle
breeders of the state.
Combat Diseases:
... A campaign of publicity has been
: carried On by various manufactur
ers and dairymen to increase the
consumption of dairy products. The
' nutritive value of both milk and but
ter lai tor Human consumption ana ipsa
especially as needed by the growing
child is a well established and well
icnown fact. In view of the fact that
the price of these products has risen
considerably, especially during cer
tain seasons of the year, has had a
tendency to deprive children, in a
gteat many eases, of these most es
sential foods,
,The three most common diseases
Jchown to affect dairy animals are
contagious abortion
avail themselves of this opportunity
by having their herds tested by fed-cral-or
state veterinarians and when
reactors are found there are or
dered to immediate slaughter and
in this way the herds are ridded of
this disease. There are at the pres
ent time 430 herds under supervi
sion under this plan and a total .of
35 herds have become fully ac
credited. This means that these
herds- have passed two annual tests
without any animal 4n the herd re
acting to the test.
In" addition to the accredited herd
plan of tuberculosis eradication the
last session of the legislature enact
ed a dairy, law which provides "that
all cows from which milk or cream
is sold for human consumption must
be tested once- each year or the
product from these animals must
be pasteurized before it can be of
fered for sale. The enforcement of
this law has subjected a very large
number of dairy cows to the tuberT
culin test. Since January 1 a 'very
large number of 'dairy cows have
been tested in the sfate under both
the accredited herd plan arid the
dairy law, a total number of 6,525
herd9. with a total number of 39,-
373 head of cattle.. Of this number,
1,703 of 4.3 per cent, reacted to the
test.V'lms" number amounts to
about 70 car loads of cattle which
have been ordered to market for
immediate slaughter,
' Symptoms Are Hidden. H
One of the greatest difficulties in
the enforcement of the tuberculosis
eradication measures is convincing
the-' owner of fhe presence of the
disease when 'apparently his herd
shows ne-outward symptoms of in
fection. Lmtimes an animal may be
fleshy and even fat and still be in
fected with tuberculosis. , Again, in
the'ease of' valuable pure-bred ani
mals it is a great loss to the owner.
In such cases he is reluctant to dart ;
with the animal -when the fat re
mains that if the animal is retained
in the herd the disease would spread
to others and" would cause a much
greater loss, than, if ! e.ljniinated at
once. A tew cases where such ani
mals have been kept in strict quar
antine for the purpose of producing
another crop of talves has not been
satisfactory So it is of benefit to
thr owner to have 'his herd tested
and get rid of tubercular animals
without delay. When reactors are
shipped to market' for slaughter
the owner is privileged te accom
pany them and can wittiest a post
mortem examination and judge for
himself the tubercular lesions pres
ent when the carcass is examined.
This is the most. convincing demon
stration of the presence of the'dis-J
ease and while certaii carcasses in
which tt lesions are very slight
are used for food, others in the ad
vanced stage Ian only be used for
tankage purposes.
