%fl‘ubercuhn Test
o Is Not Harmful
#
I'reatment Cannot Possibly
Cause Either Abortion
| or Sterility.
(Prepared by the United States Department
‘ of Agriculture.)
. “The tuberculin testing of cattle can
not possibly cause either abortion or
sterility.” This statement by Dr. J. R.
yuhler, chief of the bureau of animal
Thaustry, Urited States Department
of Agriculture, is a reply to assertions
sometimes heard that tuberculin when
injected into a cow may cause her to
abort or become sterile.
Record of One Cow.
At a recent hearing before a con
gressional committee, Doctor Mohler
reported extended observations on this
subject in answer to the inquiry of
Congressman L. J. Dickinson, of lowa.
“Phe bureau has the record of oune
cow,” Doctor Mohler stated, “which
received over 1,100 cubic centimeters
of tuberculin at one time and that
cow lived to be eizhteen years olu and
was never known te abort.” The cow
produced many healthy calves during
that time, Doctor Mobhler also ex
plained.
“Furthermore,” he continued, “no
cases have been recorded in the lit
erature on the subject which wouid
lead even to the suspicion that either
abortion or sterility is caused by the
injection of tuberculin. 1 have pe.-
sonally injected large numbers of
pregnant cows with from 30 to 80
drops of tuberculin subcutaneously,
which is the old method of injecting
duberculin, and have yet to see the first
cow slink her calf as the result of the
test. With the modern method of
intrhdermic testing which is followed
in over 95 per cent of our work, only
two drops of tuberculin are injected
into the fold of the tail. The claim
that such a small amount of tuber
culin will produce abortion or steril
ity is purely a figment of the imagina
tion and without any foundation in
fact”
Tested Arnually.
“or instance, almost in the shadow
of this Capitol building,” Doctor Moh
ler continued, “there are two govern
ment-owned hkerds averaging from 150
to 250 cows euach, which have been
tuberculin tested annually and some
times semiannually for at least tweo
decades, and they are free not only
of tuberculesis but of abortion as well,
despite the fact that the annual tu
berculin test is still being applied.”
The foregoing statement is sup
ported by the wide observation of
pathologists and veterinarians of the
United States Department of Agricul
ture who have devoted many . years
of study to animal diseases, both in
the course of research work and in
herds and flocks throughout the coun
try.
Cultivation of Alfalfa
Will Pay Farmers Well
Farmers in many sections where
weeds are a problem in alfalfa grow
ing, are reporting successful results
with improved alfalfa cultivators. Blue
grass and weeds are torn out without
injuring the alfalfa, though the ground
is torn up considerably. As one farm
er remarked, “My field sure looked
siek for a few days after 1 went over
it with the cultivator, but in a week or
two the alfalfa was in fine shape.”
The alfalfa roots grow deeper into the
soil than the weeds and blue grass,
hence are not torn out by the cultiva
tion.
The cultivation is done early in the
year, usually preceding or following
the first cutting. Unless the season
is very unfavorable, the second and
third cuttings are thicker and weed
free, according to those who have fol
lowed the practice of cuitivating their
alfalfa, while the life of the seeding
is greatly prolonged.
Combine Has Advantage,
Saving Grain and Labor
Besides saving an lmmense amount
of labor in the harvesting and thresh
ing of grain, the combine also has the
advantage of wasting less grain than
any other method of harvesting. Every
farmer knows that there is a certaia
amount of grain lost behind the cut
ter-bar of a binder, as well as some
shattering in the binding mechanism
and when the bundles are Gropped. A
further loss occurs in shocking, still
more in loading and unloading, and
there 1 always some waste around the
threshing machine, besides the small
amount which usually goes through
with the straw unless the machine is
very carefully operated. The total
loss with the binder method varies, of
‘vourse, with the condition of t.e grain,
but It 1s always appreciable, -

Better Preparation |
.
Urged for Berries
L
Growers Should Aim to Pro
duce Fruit of High Grade.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The unsatisfactory coundition flndl
grade of strawberries often found on '
the market indicates a need for more
attention to standardization and bet-‘
ter handling methods, according to
the bureau of agricultural economics,
United States Department of Agricul
ture, following a field survey of
strawberry marketing methods. !
Growers, says the department,
should aim to produce berries of
such uniformly high quality that no
hand ‘grading is necessary, as any
extra handling adds to the possibility
of decay. In many instances, how
ever, hand grading is necessary and
profitable, but the logical place to
grade berries is in the tield. \Whether
or not the berries have been hand or
field graded, the filled boxes should
be classified as to grade before they
are placed in crates for shipment.
IPield grading under proper super
vision is preferred to grading in the
packing shed because it involves less
handling and therefore less deterivra
tion in transit, The use of established
standard grades is recommended as
furnishing a definite basis and guide
to the grower in preparing his crop
for market, to the buyer in purchas
ing the fruit, and for inspection either
at shipping point or terminal mar
ket.
Boxes should contain a uniform
grade of berries and should be filled
so that they are not slack nor yet full
enough for the berries to be crushed
when placed in the crates. The crates
should be loaded in the cars so as to
permit ample circulation of cold air,
and should be firmly * stripped and
braced to prevent shifting and dam
age to the load while in transit.
The detailed results of the depart
ment’s survey has been published in
Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1560, entitlea
“Preparing Strawberries for Market,”
copies .of which may be obtained
from the department at Washington,
D.-C,
‘Build Up Productivity
| of Soil and Retain It
Comparing the farm to a factory in
a recent publication by the United
States Department of Agriculture, the 1
authors, A. 1. Wiancko and S. D, Con
nor, say: ‘“The farmer should know
his s¢il and have a sound basis for
every step in its treatment. Building
up the productivity of a soil to a high
level and then maintaining it, is an
achievement for which every farmer
should strive. The business of farming
should be conducted as intelligently
and as carefully as a manufacturing
business. Every process must be un
derstood and regulated, from the raw
material to the finished product, in or- ‘
der to be uniformly successful. The
farmer’s factory is his farm. Differ
ent soils present different problems.
It is important, therefore, that soils
be studied and understood in order
that the production of crops may be
most satisfactory and profitable. No
system of soil management can be sat
isfactory that does not in the long run
bring profitable returns. Some soil
treatments and methods of manage
ment may be profitable for a time, but
ruinous in the end. One-sided or un
balanced soil treatments have been al
together too common in the history of
farming in this country. A properly
balanced system of treatment will
make almost any soil profitably pro
ductive.”
Dangerous to Turn Cows
on Pastures Toc Early
Turning cows out on the pastures
too soon in the spring is one of the
common mistukes milk producers
make, according to dairy specialists,
fowa State college, and this year the
tendency will be greater than before
because of the general shortage of
feed.
To turn the cows out in the pastures
too early hurts the pastures, and the
feed value of the pastures is especial
ly low so that it hurts the cows, early
grass consisting mostly of water.
Wait until the grass gets a good start
and take the cows off winter roughuge
feeds gradually, advise the extension
men, Six to eight weeks after the
cows have been on pasture the me
dium producers will do fairly well on
grass alone. With high producers,
however, the grain allowance should
be continued but may be cut down a
few pounds.

Fewer and Bigger Plants
Are Needed by Industry
“Fewer and bigger milk-handling
plants go with fewer and better cows
i the fwmprovement of Wisconsin's
dalry Industry,” says K. L. Hateh, di
rector of extension at the University
of Wisconsin,
Professor Hatch belleves that com

A Wrong
President Lee of the Brotherhood of
Railway Trainmen said in an interview
in New York:
“The Geneva economic conference
has very rightly protested against
those cartels, or monopolies, which
greedily increase the cost of living,
“The men who do the useful work
of the world—the farmers who feed
l us, the sailors who sail our ships, the
iteucl;ers who educate our children—
these men are lucky if they succeed
in accamulating a few thousand dol
lars in a lifetime of toil: but the car
; tels! They, by putting up a price or
- twe, make millions overnight.”
! Mr. Lee shook his head,
. “It's a wrong gain,” he sAid, “that
has no earning.”
