Farm Animals and A Their Treatment

(By a Veterinary Surgeon) THE PREVENTION 01? TUBER CULOSIS The prevention of thia disease is undoabtedly one of the most imporranfc qaestiona of the moment, and fortu nately nun of hii>h social standing,, of gre*t scientific attainments, ani i*lno of wealth, are giving all their ii fla nee and ecergy to farther this rao^t dasir able achievament. Not long ago our Sovereign presided over a mepti"g m London the object of which was to propagate measurps for thp Rupprosaion aad prevention of consumption, as traberoalosia ia the lungs is popularly called. These measures were, of course, meant for the IUPPBEBSIOH OF THE DISEASE m the human, faunil), but they are eqnally applicable to the lower animals, and, as has been proved, much easier carried oat when dealing with domesti cated animals, hi :h as the bovine racp. The whols scheme of prevention fa.oasftd upon the knowledge that it is infectious, spreading from one animal to another. An animal standing next to »n affected one—in a byre, of coarse wil? hecomb infected. But this does not take pl»ce m every cagp, nor even m the majority of cases. It is ooly when the animal is SU'CTPTIBLB TO THE DISEASE by reason of an inherited predisposi tion, OP m a low irate of health through Bom© other disease, 'ibis suscepti bility is probably best seen m town dairy cows, because of the artificial. conditions under which they are kept. Contemplate such cows kept indoors for the greater p^rt of the year, fed upon foods not infant to build ap a strong vigorous body, but %o force tbr quantity of milk, and housed m baildings where, because of their Bifc uadoo, the ventilation fis faulty and consequently the temperature un nafcarai, and it will be easily under stood why tuberculosis is SO PREVALENT IN COWS as compared with the other classes of the bovine family. This susceptibility may be recognised, but to determine when an animal is affected, and conse quently a sonrce of danger toothers, is a more difficult task. Ferhape it wonld be more correct fco say ( was,' since we have now—thanks to Profes sor Koch-^-a means whereby we can diagnose the disease, even m ita ?ery earliest stages. Thia is known as the Tuberculin Test, and consists of in jecting under the skin of the animal a email quantity of a fluid known as tuberculin, which is prepared from a pure CULTITATIMT 0* THE OffßH grown oa glycerine. The temperature of the animal is first taken, and should thia be aormal —101 to 102 P—a small quantity of the tuberculin ia in jected under the skin, taking great pre cautions ac to cleanliues?. Should the animal be free from the disease, no reaction ft'j'i place; but if tubercu losis bad fata'o'ishtd it elf, then the temperature goes up from 2 to 4 de grees within 24 hours after inocult tionl It has bepn proved t bat Ibie test is reliable except io those cases wtipre the disease is extensive t»nd tht animal h more or less h ' pioar '■ MAKING I'SK OF MB TKST then, It ia a matter of no great difficulty to find which animals of a herd are • ound, and which am diseased, and naving done so, to spparnte the onf from the otlur Of course, 'o be of «my real value, this separating must bp arefally <»nd complete ly donp, so that there is little or to chance of the ound animals receiving the infection rom the diseased. Thjre is no need to kill the affected, but gn on breeding roKs them ; only the moment a calf is dropped it mast be removed to the sound byre and brought np on a sound cow's milk. This is the sys tem that has been CABBIBD OUT IN DENMARK oy Dr Bang for @opae ypars past, and the prevalence of the disoaee has been reduced to a very low percentage m that country. The doctor divides the byres as required by a wooden frame work over which felt le gtretched, and great care m taken that the division is air-tight. In a few herds m this country much has been done, and m on® etock the disease has been exter minated. We kaow wh&t has boen done m Danmark, and we have seen that it is possible m our own country, Wbj then, do our stockbreeders remain in&cfcm! They ask for Imperial leg islation and compensation,, an \ al though THRYoCOULD HELP THBHSELVXS, to a very great extent they prefer to to do nothing, but look forward to the Government paying compensation and exterminating the disease for them. Legislation there will bp, but compen sation never. Some faddists may dream of exterminating the disease, bat, like the poor, it will be always with us, although by adopting such simple means as the foregoing the ravages of tuberculosis may be checked, and much lossand suffering prevented.— People's Journal.

Dear Sir,- Tt i« v Pr y great pleasure I testify to iha iii( simable value of yotir great Botanic Reniidy, PIjANTEKOA. I was a great pufforer from Indigestion for three years, mid during that period 1 tried every known remedy, advertised and otherwise, t h^t was procurable ; bnt they did me no goo<-.
