In combating these diseases, •veter-
inary science has made great strides
but perhaps one of the greatest vic-
tories of the veterinarian in protect-
ing mankind from disease• is the
achievement in Canada during the
past 25 years in curbing •bovine tub-
erculosis. Before this nation-wide
campaign was instituted, the non -pul-
monary type of human tuberculosis,
transmitted to human beings' -through
the milk of tuberculous cows, was the
cause of a•heayy. death toll.. To -day
this type of 'tuberculosis • is rarely
seen inahospitals. But the fight is not
oyer. There may still be residual
bovine infection in some areas.. Cat-
tle must 'still be tested to prevent a
recurrence • of this ` disease, an•d„„.;to
maintain what has proved to •be •a
great contributing factor to th.e health
of the nation. Tiie control of bovine
tuberculosis is a great triumph iit
never ending fight—to Canadian vet-
ernarians and veterinary authorities
as represented by the Health of Ani-
mals Division, Dominion Department
'of Agriculture, because in years , gone
by they had to fight• apathy which
was general.

ever, who uses his own product as

How,, To Construct Milk -cooling Tank
Spoilage of milk is almost invari-
ably the result of bacterial action.
'While the number of bacteria in
freshly -drawn male' depends chiefly
upon the care taken in cleaning and
sterilizing the utensils and equipment
with which milk comes in contact,
the Length of time milk will remain
usable is also. dependent upon the
temperature at which it ' is held.
Hence the importance of prompt and
Faelal origins always. make for an
of interesting study, Unlike the United
nt States, Canada cannot yet be- called a
id „melting pot.” • About. one-half of the

thorough cooling of milk on the
farm. '
Various methods of cooling milk
have been advocated, but for the
flus l milk trade it. is ,generally
aceepted that best results are obtain=
ed by placing the cans in a well in-
sulated tank filled with ice water, and
circulating the water to speed up the
cooling process; While the ice may
be 'placed in the tank in blocks, the
greater 'convenience of mechanical
refrigeration units is leading to their•
widespread use. Whichever form of
refrigeration is• used,' it is important
that a well -insulated tank be pro-
vided, otherwise heat Will leak into
the tank so rapidly as to decrease its
efficiency and increase the cost -of
Operation-. •
In co-operation with the, Division of
Bacteriology and Dairy Research,
Science Service, the Architect at the
Central Experimental Farm, 'Ottawa,
has prepared detailed plans for the
construction of 'an insulated' milk

either with natural ice air with
mechanical refrigeration. Copies of
these plans ,May be obtained free of
'charge by writing to either the
Architect or tbe Dicision Of Bac-

Big Loss to"Crop Caused by Weeds
In the Prairie Provinces, ektimates
of the actual reduction, of the yield
of crops due to weeds vary consider-
ably, but careful experimental work
in many widely separated districts
indicates that western grain' crops
are reduced by about 2d, per cent.
through the competition of weeds in
the field. In other words, states the
National Weed' Committee, western
farmers on the average, harvest three
bushels• of wheat per acre less than
they would do if there were no
weeds. The yields in other grain
crops are affected in like proportion.
In. Eastern Canada and British
Columbia, experimental results show „
that • 10 per cent. is -a conservative
estimate of the reduction in crop
yield due to weeds. Based on the
total value of the field crops in, those
areas, this represents an annual loss
of about $33,000,000.
Large as the losses are through
lowered, yields across the Dominion,
other -losses -from" weeds add up to a
great deal more,- as for example, sum-
mer fallowing made necessary be-
cause of weeds and the extra costs
involved in the harvesting, threshing,
and shipping. Weeds, .in short add

By such things as future internation-

have adopted cities in Soviet Russia.

equipment for the Canadian Aid to
Russia Fund, exchanging of 'informa-
tion between organi7aataen and indi-

Fort William, Ontario, has prepared
a pictorial folder with captions and
texts in Russian, sent it to Poltawa,
the Soviet city adopted.
The plan under the four-year bacon
agreement with the United Kingdom
means in essence that she will take

four years -as in the past four years,
and here are the figures of our ship-
ments: • 330,000,000' pounds in 1940;
440 million pounds in 1941; 600,000,-

was 675,000,004 pounds.
There has been some easing of
travel restrictions to the U.S.A. Can-

must be at least six niontbs interval

Canada's stockpile of feed grain built

provinces having reduced oats and

The Milking Stoo
Another Symbol
of the HARD WAY
Becomes c Relic
'One by one the time -taking, firing
and tiresome hand labor chores of
the farm have been eliminated by a
machine that does the work easier;
quicker and more profitably.
The • milking stool for instance has
long been a symbol of the hard way
to do a job. But more ..and more
dairymen are spending less time on
milking stools now. Shortage of •help
and pressure of work have empha-
sized the value of using machines
instead of muscles wherever possible;
and dairymen have found the answer
in the mechanical milking machine.
Because the purchase of a milking
machine saved them hours of time
and labor, thousands of dairymen
have - been able to carry on and
benefit from the great demand for
dairy products in recent years. "Hand
milking" is out 'for them now that
they have experienced the comfort
and convenience of a mechanical
milker.
In the progress that Canadian
agriculture has made in improved
methods and practices,- equipment
engineered and•-:nanufaciured by
Massey -Harris has played an im-
portant part. ,among the time and
labor saving machines your' Local
Massey -Harris dealer has to offer is
the Rite Way Milker. Make it a point
to ask him for, full particulars. .
