Tlire is no evading the fact that bo- vine tuberculosis, endangering, as it does, the health of cattle, swine and hu- man beiges, Must sooner or later be grappled ei'ith in a thoroughgoing man- ner. �''hile, iri so far as the question of human infection is concerned, thinking men still attach considerable weight to the late Dr. Kuch's pronouncement that bovine tuberculosis was a less frequent source of the disease in people than was human tuberculosis, and that there was no authentic ease on record where pul- monary tuberculosis (tuberculosis of the lungs) in man had been demonstrated as of bovine origin; still, the danger of tuberculous infection from milk and meat, more especially the former, is too great to be ignored. One unnecessary chance with death is one too many. Without walling into a maze of statis- ties and clinical records, let us suggest that those who saw the exhibit of tuber- eulous meat exhibited at the Canadian National, in Toronto, Iast year, put the question plainly to themselves, whether they would care to eat such meat, or cause other to ase it? Scarcely Less imnortant is the eco- nomic loss threatened by the ravage of bovine tuberculosis among our herds of cattle, and among the swine 'which fol- low them, or which consume unpasteur- ized skim milk or whey abstracted from the milk of tuberculous cows. For it should be understood that, even when the udder of a cote is free from tubercu- losis, as it probably' is in most eases, there is always the danger of introduc- ing tubereuloseis germs into milk through the spattering of Manure, in which in- fected cattle void the batik. At all events, it is a demonstrated fact that, at pork packing plants there is a heavy per- centage of condemnations among the hogs from dairy sections, and sections where hogs are fattened on the drop- pings of corn -fed cattle. Many centres of tuberculosis in cattle have 'been thus traced back from the packing plants, and this strongly suggests the expedien- ey of the tagging system recommended, among other means of location, by the International Commission on the Con- trol of Bovine Tuberculosis, which was enpointed a year ago by the American Veterinary Medical Association, and whose report was synopsized in our 11etys columns lest week, with further re- ference in the live stock department this week. Its carefully considered recom- mendations, we trust, mark an epoch in the rational handling of this stupendous- ly difficult wetter, and. we advise every- one to inform himself carefully on every point of its deliverance. Intelligent self-interest, if no higher motive, de- mands it. ONLY ONE GRADE OF EGGS WANTED. The following taken from the litera- ture being seat out to the Co-operative Poultry Circles, gives in concise form the kind of eggs the market wants and tote to get then: An egg not over four days old in wenn weather and seven days old • in cold weather. An egg that has been ga- there(l promptly ,loci kept in a dry place free from. draught, dampness, or. any foul odor. 'On holding a- new laid egg to the light it will be seen that the air splice in the large end -is very small, not larger •titan a eta piece and the yolk almost invisible. As the age continues the air cell becomes larger and the yolk becomes more Visible. Though smite markets may. call for sevral grades • of eggs, as a general rule there is 00 necessity for many grades. \\That the best trade demands is free:- toss, res:Uess, gradin;, Uniformity lu packing and regularity in supply. For the present but one grade of egg will be expected, and the following care should be exercis- ed: All eggs mast be clean and tin - washed. The surest way to have a clean egg is to have a clean nest nad not al- lots the ltetis to -roost on the nest boxes so that the hens will be compelli, to lay ander the roosts or in unsuitable places, at least one nest should be al- lowed for every six or eight hens kept. The nest should be so arranged so that the herr enter from the side rather than from the top of the nest box, and car - ranged so that the nest box may easily be cleaned. Eggs should never be washed, because washing removes the lime from the shell and allows the contents to evaporate and also to assimilate the bacteria from the air. The samples of eggs should be as uni- form as possible, which simply means that the very large or very small, also the off -shaped eggs, should be used for home consumption. If both brown and white -shelled eggs are gathered from one flock, it helps the appearance to sort into colors, that is, to pack brown on one side and white eggs on the other side. In conclusion, market your eggs while new laid, have them clean, uniform in size, and, if possible. sorted according to color, and non -fertilized. The two essentials are Herr laid and non -fertilized. The quality of the circle depends cn the produce supplied by the individual member, and as a chain is judged by its weakest ]ink, so a circle may also be judged by its weakest member. APPRENTICES Technical Education Commission Found it Flourishing in Galt. Opinion Expressed That Galt Might Easily Become a Model Town. Galt Despatch. --The returns handed out by the a•sseesors to -day show that the assessment has increased $321,433, the largest in many years. Notwith- standing the fact that a large number of Galt people have left for the west during the past year, the population has increased 205.
