For some reason which he would. be puzzled to explain to himself, he has for the lost week rather avoided his friend's eo►mpany—a task rendered easier by the disposition manifested by the young nun'3 mother to monopolize hint, a dis- position to which Lur•goyuc has jolt no inclination to run counter. 11 is With- out cit -out enthusiasm that he receives Byng's expressions of pleasure in their acciden- tal meeting.

Igoe the Young Idea Is Tnnghl to Shoot in That Country, During a visit to Granada Mr. Leonard Williams visited a school conducted upon it most original plan, where spell- ing becomes gymnastics and geography n ve itublo pastime. Ile describes it as follows : We were conducted across the rustic bridge into a kind d1 playground. I say a kind of playground because it proved to be a schoolroom, with stone benches raised along one side, and on the benches some fifty or sixty litho people learning to count by means of ninepins and blocks of wood. The middle of the space before the benches was not level, but depressed into irregular little hollows and raised in slight eminences. "Here," explained the padre, "we have it neap of Spain, with all its mountains and all its valleys." So saying, he ap- proached the seated rows upon the benches and culled, "Antonio Torres'.'

Tuberculosis is it veritable scourge among bovines. It would probably to safe to say, that with cattle, tub•rcu- lusis is destroying as large a proportion, ae w hat is ordinarily termed cons untp- lion is destroying in the human family. 1t should lie remembered, however, that. 'tuberculosis may affect the bowels, the Udder and various organs in addition to the lung:. It is it germ disease, and Ir. this consists its greatest danger, \trace Prof. Thomas Shaw. When it once gets into a herd there i3 no saying where its ravages will end, unless the infected animals are prompt- ly separated and kept apart. Its most dangerous feature probably lies in the tact that It may be present for a lime L, a herd before it is possible to detect (1. in the absence of the tuberculin lest. Tuberculosis is particularly the Scourge of dairy herds and also of pure- bred herds of the various breeds. This floes not mean that it is not frequently leund among various classes of stoma's kept on forms, but it does mean that teary and pure -brei' are more liable to le affected by It than otter herds, be- cause of the more arlifcial conditions tinder which they are kept. 11 is also true (hat the higher the excellence of the individuals in those herds, the great• rr is the danger that tuberculosis will 'be present. CONDITIONS TIIAT FAVOR IT. It would not be safe to say that the tendency or pre -disposition to tubcrou- tests is not greater in the progeny cf tuberculosis animals than In the progeny al ethers. But It Ls safe to say that the )trogeny of such animals may be reared 'without the hazard of ever contracting tuberculosis if reared and kept under proper sanitary auditions. That it is iso is a matter of greatest importance to stockmen. More than anything else, unsanitary stables are responsible for the sprend e! tuberculosis. By unsanitary stables 1: meant, stables dark, unventilated er only i►nperfe;lly ventilated, and It may 1•e in addition damp. The more close- ly cows are confined in these the greater is the hnzard. If but one tuberculosis ttninial is introduced Into such stable, end is kept there, from autumn to rspring, the danger is imminent that e large percentage of the whole herd Will have contracted the disease. 'There is but little danger of the germ being bonveycd in the open air, but it -would be unsafe at present to say that it can- not be transmitted thus. Many of those who keep cattle are deliberately shutting their eyes to the danger. They say they don't believe 'n The tuberculosis scare. The reason is. they don't want to believe in H. Thal at least is true of many of them. They Cont want to believe, because they don't want to have their heals tested for fear et what it may reveal. But why shout) 'they act thus? if tuberculosis is in (heir herds to any extent. just as sure as the :elm shines In the sky, they will have more. Though they may not believe in 1t, just as sure as the sun shines they will every now and then have to bury some animals That have died of tuberculosis. To act thus Is like shut- ting the eyes for fear one will see. 11 is like the hunted ostrich, when hard pressed, putting its head into a bush, tinder the delusive klea, apparently, 'that doing so will save It. • WHAT IS TO 13E DONE. With reference to pure-bred herds 'and also dairy herds. i have not the 'shadow of a dnuit as to whin should be done. The herds should be tested. All tuberculosis animals should be re- lnoved. If not leo valuable they should U' sent to the stockyards and disposed or as the law provides. The progeny b! those too valuable for slaughter Ishould thin be reared by the Bangs system. 'fills system means Mot they khat' be reared away (rem tuberculosis cattle, and on the milk from sound ern - 'Innis during the milk period, or if fed 'milk from tuberculosis animals it should first be properly sterilized. When a test has been made and !u- bercuMsis animal hate teen found in n heel and removed, a second test shou'ei be mode six months hence, lest tnd.s.duclls should have imbibed disease gem's before the previous test. but h•hih had not reaehcd that stage which tvoukl result in responding to the test. Six mouths Inter another test should 'Po made. If the herd was found toter- t,bly free, then another lest should fol- low once n year for a rumple of years. Subsequently, Bence In Ito years would Sullies. 'Che main thought here is to keep up the test when it has once been begun. If animals are brought into the herd from outside, Ihcy should, of ca t•e eabjected to the tuberculin test. Par- " 'ties should know something abtut the. 'reliability of the test. Many tests art• 'made that are not reliable because ell incompetency on the part of those who tuake thein, or because of faultiness ell The tuberculin. 11 the 'rattle In cattle +could to narrowed down to small lira IL: or stepped altogether, a great ad seance would be mode in checking tho further > prcad ut tuberculosis. 11 has oftener been carried to herds' 'Through the medium of purr -bred bulls 'than in any other way. This should not be done. A her,1 'ehould not be tested that is suspected of tulerculosis unless the owner has made up his mind to keep up the test - mg. Suppose such n heed Ls Tested and the animals which react are removed. ! uppase that they are not tested again. The chanes are ten to ono that six months hence some of the animals will be tuberculous. for they were exposed In the contagion before the test was made. 1f animals are brought in after a herd has been treated, without having been Subjected to test, they also may bring Sr, the dbeese. To test herds from time le time and then bring in animals with - cul test, Ls simply absurd. Dairymen bre most prone to halt into this mis- take, because of the sore nerd they have ter quickly replenishing their herds be- times, as when, for instance, they aro Under contract to furnish a certain amount of milk or dairy product. ADVERTISING TiIE TEST. For years 1 have held the view that Lreeders of pure-bred stock should not bitty keep their herds free from tuber- culosis, but that they should sell their animals with the guaranty that they are not tuberculous. I have advocated this line of action. Heretofore, breeders have generally shrank from doing so. Ewen the isolated breeders who are testing their herds from time to time rather tried to keep the matter secret. Some • f then reasoned that the knowledge of e test having been made would raise the suspicion that disease had been there. 'What though such a result should fol- low? It would be very much better in every way to know that disease had been re- moved and cnty sound animals re- tuained, than not to know anything about it. My conviction IS, that soon only !Wee breeders of pure-bred stock 'will he nide to sell their animals, who not only keep them free from this dis- ease, but who also advertise the fact.
