If a cow loses flesh without apparent cause and if her eyes become dull and the coat rough and staring and she is ed. dently out of condition it is well to suspect tuberculosis unless there is some other known cause for these man. negations of ill health. A cough need • • not be expected, as a cough indicates only some irritation of the respiratory apparatus and may or may not be due to tuberculosis. On the other hand, advanced tuberculosis of some of the other internal organs will not manifest itself by a cough. Bunches forming within the uddet or open sores from broken down glands are Mao to be regarded with great sus. ' picion. A. cow may be in very poor condition and not have tuberculosis and, may be in the pink of condition and be badly infected. The best way to make a diagnosis is by the tuber - culla test applied by a competent vet• erinarian. I do not know of any form of tuberculosis which manifests itself by hard dry scabs upon the skin. MAKING CHEESE AT HOME. ------ Niethod Is Simple of Operation and Is Easily Mastered. ' Did you ever try making a little cheese? The process is not at all dna- ,.cult; but, like making anything else. ..a little practice Is necessary to turn ,cut a high grade product, says the , American Agriculturist. Here is a dimple method that cad be followed In producing your own home supply: Take milk three or four hours old that has been kept at about '10 degrees and which has not commenced to sour. The first step is to heat to 86 de- grees, add commercial rennet, three - tenths of an ounce or 8.5 cubic centi- meters, to 100 pounds of milk. Allow to coagulate for thirty or forty min- utes. Now break the curd w spoon or three cornered stick until the particles are the size of the end of your little finger. Now beat slowly ,up to 100 degrees, stirring more or less constantly. When the mass reaches 100 degrees let stand at that tempera - stuns until the curd becomes firm. ARoughly speaking, it will requira. from While an Ayrshire cow shored be shapely and handsome to look at as she stands or walks, she should when handled reveal much loose- ness of vertebra, flatness of rib and width between ,the ribs, indi- cating large dairy capacity. The Ayrshire is a tough, hardy sow, with a vigorous appetite and not too particular what she eats. She is always hungry, eats greedily and chews her cud rapidly. You can rarely see an Ayrshire cow When not either taking in food or chew- ! ing what she has already getherecl, • The cow pictured is a pure bred .444+++444.101+1. PRIDE AND THE FARMER. .A. large proportion of men who are engaged in farming are con- tent to live and die with but a very limited reward in wealth for a lifetime of strenuous ef- fort. But let their pride be arous- ed, their ambition for distinction as farmers come to the surface, and we will see at once a won- derful change in results. It quickens their intellect, it sharp- ens their perceptions, it stimu- lates their desire for knowledge, knowing as they do that knowl- edge is the source of power. At once the farm presents a new aspect, new avenues for effort, new purposes to be achieved, new sources for financial profit. The farmer is transformed at • once into a master over the forces that lie all about him. He rises to the real meaning and measure of his calling. The farm shows at once that here is a man who has a vision of what it is capable of. Mere love of money will do none of these things. It is too sordid, too nar- row even to see how to make money in the best and most profitable manner. — Hoard's Dairyman. 44444•14+4441.444+++444•444444 the reversed bottom of the bucket is left there. In order to hold the bucket in place' two pieces of galvanized wire are fast- ened to the bottom and attached to weights on the outside of the tank. A ,weight is tied to the bail so that the bucket may be kept in the proper po- sition. When the water in the tank begins to freeze the pressure that would ordinarily be against the walls of the tank will act upon the air in the bucket, compressing* it.

DRINKING CUPS FOR HORSES, individual Buckets Should Replace the Common Drinking Fountain. Common drinking cups for individ- uals of the human race have been un- der a ban for a number of years. In the meantime horses have been drink- ing from the community trough at the road crossing, says a contributor to the Farm and Fireside. Missouri, through its state board of agriculture, is now taking the stand that horses should have individual buckets. It maintains that open wa- ter fountains are insanitary and great- ly facilitate the spread of glanders and other contagious diseases among live stock. Glanders is an awful disease, and, if it is impossible to control it when the common trough is used, then indi- vidual buckets should be insisted upon. Says the Missouri state board: "The wrong kind of apparatus caused ap- proximately 500 oases of glanders in the limits of Kansas City each year ladder of euccess, rung by sung as a for eight years. The right kind has school teacher in Victoria, Oxford and Slnicoe counties; who worked his way resulted in reducins• the number of through Toronto University and grad cases to ten or twelve each year." nated ite a gold medalist in physics If this be true, the common drink- with an honors degree in mathematics Mg trough must be a great danger to is now 8 prominent agriculturist tuicl horses when disease of any sort is •a man of importance in the eyes of the prevalent.
