Farm Animals and Their Treat ment

(By a Veterinary Furgeont) TUBERCULOSIS Of lttto tuhercu!o>is Ins been promi nently b- fore the public ; in fact, 60 closely has popular attention been directed to it Initß various forms tinder the,technical and bigh-eou%di,n.g tohercolosis that mHny arf mc inerl to thiok of it as a new disease but reeprv 5y discovered by some pxp'rt. Alas, however, it is not a npw di'-easi>, bu* has been with üb, under, various names, from the parly «sps. It was bo', liow ©ver, cntil 1881 that Prcfea^or Koch . discoVerk! that it *»*« due to a niie robe. He wits nble to oultivatp the germ outside the body, and by inocu lating other animals with it was abh to pfodoce thn ditensp. >mo* then *-OUf Itpowtedsp of what.-i<? undoubtedly the most pr'-Valfnt; riispaae in oaan and' tiriimals h«s bpprt much increased, Wft! fO'ftny wn are in h, position to arivip measures thnt, if properly carried oat. would successfully check the ravage of the distase. That may sound strong I«,ngi3"g f', *'ut nevertbf*l<»Bß h ia tru«, and entirely deppnis upon the now we!! established f»et that tuberculosis k NOT A HBEBDITARY DISEASE 80 firm and universal waaihp be'ipf that it was a dispaaß handed down IroM parent to offspring that even yet many cannot aud will not allow th«m selvee to realise the fact that it is nol the actual diepase that is so passed down, but only what is known as «* predisposif ion to ir. However, in my next paper I shall have something to gay 00 the preventive meaattres, and this Week I shall limit myself to the disease Mit appears in the living animal- It is known by a variety of Banaee, iuch its se'rofola, inberries, grape?, tubers, and when located in certain parts receives special names, »ach fts Tabes Meeenterica, being tuber caloais of the bowels, and Fbthsis, or simply consumption, being tuberculosis of the lungs. It is certainly not an overestimate when it is stated that 20 per cent fat' all the cattle in Britain are affected, and if cows alone be taken it is fonnd in from 45 to 50 per cent, Tt Is also interesting, if dieqaibting, to remember that about 10 per cent of oows have taberculosis in the udder, (bias causing the animal to give MILK CONTAINING THE ©BEMB of ih« disease. Unfortunately, it is often impossible to detect the disease daring the life of the animal—except by the tuberculin test—as although badly effected the animal looks in perfect con dition. We thus find at our slaughter houses a bollock which before slaughter looked prime, and perhaps fetched a good price, condemned as unfit for jhuinftn food. That the danger from the aea of flesh—even from tubercular ani mals—hag been greatly exaggerated there is no doubt, but it ia still open to doubt If there is sufficient c*re taken io the uee of milk. Meat, as a rale if cooked before uee, and is essentially th? diet of the adull, whereas milk ia verj seldom cooked before usp, and ia f sser tially the diet of the child. For these reason?, as well as from the f*ct that a child is not so ablfi to rtsist a disease *8 an adult, much more care should bo taken in the selection of cows for the supply of milk. A proper mrxle of inspection, by men who are able to detect disease in cowp, nhould also be in fore* 1 throughout the country By experi ment the virulency, or the power to carry disease, of milk from tubercular cows baa been again and again proved, but not much has been proved by th<r use of even tnbercu'ar fl sh, and i; seems almost inexplicable why authori ties are so much more strict in the inspection of meat than in THIS INSPECTION OF COWS giving milk,, Naturally most import auce ia attached to niiik which is to bf usp.d for human food, but the result is the same when it is used to feed calves ; beneo if k young c-ilf is fe>d upon milk containing the microbes of tuberculosis what can ba exp^ceri but that the caif will become affected ? This explains why the disease is carried from one animal to another, it may be parent to offspring. Fortunately, howpver, it in generally understood that the milk is cot so contaminated unless the mam mary gland or udder is diseased, so that *bis alone does »at; account for the great prevalence of the disease. While tuberculosis is not hereditary, it in very infectious—tbat is, it spreads through the medium of the atmos phere; It is efsential to remember that It does not require actual contact with an affected animal or person to communicate the disease to another. Breathing the air which contains the germs ia aafficient, and much more so •when there ?8 a PREDISPOSITION TD THE DISEASE This predisposition can be likened to a field which has been ploughed and manured, and is only waiting for the geed. The ground id in the most favourable condition for the develop ment and growth of the seed, and so are the tiasuea of the young animal born of a weakly or diseased parent Therj ie, however, thia difference, that in the field the ground has been made most) suitable for the growth of the seed by ploughing and the addition of certain elements in the manure, whnreas the tisßuea of the young animal are prepared by the lack of vigour and vitality which is inherited from the parent. No matter how well the field is prepared, if there ia no seed there can be no crop; so in the animal no matter Low much it m^y be pre disposed, if we can prevent it inhaling or ingesting the germs or seeds of the disease, tuberculosis cannot make its appearance.— Peoples Journal
