| OF INTEREST TO

CATTLE OWNERS.

| Tus following from “Dairy and Cream- ery,” contains so much feod for thought eading to elligent action, that we com

nend it to our farmer readers as specially

mM deserving of their carefui consideration:

When dealing with any disease as dan- gerous and as destructive in character as | is tuberculosis, the means and methods for preventing its spread must be altogetuer adequate and thorough-going. One ofthe preventive efforts, the one which conétiut. tes the main feature in the methods adopted and employed today, iu trying to stamp out this disease, or at least to keep it with- in bounde, wil! in the near future be found of little ase, and that isthe slaughter of tuberculous cows.

Stamping out tuberculosis by killing infected cows is like stamping out an epidemic of typhoid fever by burying the dead, while the people among whom the disease is prevalent continue the use of the infected water from which the conta- gion comes,

We do koow that there can be no dis- ease without the disposition, We know that disease is the necessary and natural consequence ofa violation of the con ditions of health. We know tbat the existence ofevery plant and every animal is dependent om certain conditions, and tha: if these conditions are not met certain consequcnces must follow. We know that if we neglect t> provide those Con- ditions which nature imposes upon us for life and health, we must have the con- sequences which surely follow when an anima! is not kept as ite nature requires. We know that nature has provided plenty of pure air, abundant sunlight, pure food

; i THE PREVENTION OF TUBERCELOSIS. i ' ' ; '

as conditions of health forthe animals we have domesticated, and if we violate these laws we induce the disposition to disease, the animals suifer, and we must take the conseq vences.

Hegel says that “whatis in nature, is filled with sente.” We have only to think of the ways without number in which we violate the plain requirements of nature in our treatment of dumb animale to find evidences right and left forthe causes of disease. If we permit the dirt to accumu late in our houses; if we haye few doors aod windows; if we exclude the sunlight and shutoutthe pure air, vermiu and germs of disease will surely appear. Moat people are forced to a semblance of clean- liness only through fear of vermin. vermin existed a large percentage of the human race would perish in their own filth. Plenty of sunlight and pure air, pure food and water, plenty of exercise and cleanliness are eesential to the hea'th of human beings, shall we hope for im- munity from disease when we confine our cows in dark, damp, filthy, ill-ventilated stables? Tae dread of vermin enforces

cleanliness. The knowledge that disease lurks in darkness and filth should impel

us to regard the health of animale, and force ue to provide for their wants in ac- cordance with the laws of nature.

Tuberculosis in human beings can be cured, if at all, only by removing the pa- tient from tbe influences producing the disease, and maintaining conditions which tend to strengthen the power of resist- ance. Wecan prevent the disposition to disease by hygienic means.

Only by an intelligent common sense observanceof hygienic laws on the part

f the individual and the public will we ever be able to prevent the spreal of tuberculosis among the human family, or ainong cattle.

The slaughteriag of tuberculous ani- malsio a herd isa makeshift by which we gain but little, That is but one atep, the easiest of all. We should first con- eider and if possible determiae what caused the disease in the anin.al affected, and then decide whetber killing the dis- eased animals wi!l remove the cause, or will those remaining, or succeeding gener- ations be subjected to the same influences. If the incit'ng cause remain, what reason could be given for killiog those already diseased ?

It ie not simply that one animal may be “infected ’ by auother. Before the tuber- culous “ infection ” can gain a foothold }the animal must be susceptible, must ac- quire the disposition to contagion. We can get rid of one or a*core of iubercu! - ous cowsin a herd by destroying them, but we can only get rid of tuberculosis by finding out the cause of the disease and removing it, and that is another apd a different matter. But herein lies the real secret of the preventiou of disee e. Not by killing diseased cattle, nor by the use ef tuberculin or medicines or by isolation, but by maintaining strict observance of the plainly recognized lawe of nature. An ounce of prevention is worth a ton of cure. Prevention isthe only eifective means of getting rid of tuberculosis. All else is futile.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

~-The Ameer of Afghanistan, who has been reported as in various stages of de- bility, is now said to be in unusually good health, and to be having a run of luck iv bis government. The young Mebtar has gone to Indis,where the viceroy will show him a thing or two indicative of the power of Britain. The Mehtar is to marry the daughter of the Nawab of Dir, the Chief responsible for keepsng open the road from Malakand toChitral. The marriage will have the effect of strengthening the British position in the Chitral region, as two of the most important states beyord the frontier, both of which enjoy the pro tection of the Government, will thus be firmiy linked logether.

** Patrick Atkins.”

An officer writing in “ Today’ snent the intrepidity of the Irieh soldier, whom be felicitously calls “‘ Patrick Atkins,” relates two characteristic accidents: “ On returning to camp one afternoon from patrol duty, | heard a great disturoance. Patrick Atkins had been kept in inaction in camp for a little over a montb, and euf- feredacutely in consequence. [t was a curi- our sigat. In some way or another they bad got hold of some native liquor, fiery and potent. Stripped to the waist, they were fighting and struggling under the borses’ bellies,and were absolutely mutino- oue in their demeanour when called to order. Yet these same men the following morning, when there was a prospect of a fight,were meek aslambe. A certain number of men had to be left in camp,and Patrick Atkins was tearful lest be might have the misfurtune to be included among the number. On another occasion I was riding behind a well-known Genera!. We were making @ reconnaissance in force. The enemy hild a particularly strong posi tion on the side of @ precipitious hil’, densely covered in thick jungle. In the camp behind, six mi!¢a away, lay #n frist regiment. Toe General, atter eximining the position critically through bis fi-ld glasses, lowered them, and said with 4 righ,* [bey have a devilish strong fos! tiov, but if I could only get ba'fa doz-n barrels of beer on the top of t.at hil!, anc let the Fusiliers (mentioning the rez! ment] loose, they would take that hill io five miovt-s.” Onathe following day they did take that position, inaccessible as it was, and there were no casks of teer. How they reve'led in the show, how they enjoyed it! Taey. certainly bad their bellyful <f fighting, and appreciated it to the full.”
