The malk from tuberculous cows fre- t
(meetly carrint the germs of tuber-
culosis. Since children are the ones
veho drink the most milk, bovine tub-
erculosis is found more among them
than among adults. Moller, for ex-
ample, saki that among 2,043 adulta
with tuberculosis, only two per cent.
were of the bovine tyre, mostly of
the abdomen and glands. Only half
of one per cent. of. all bovine tuber-
culosiie is of the lungs. However,
eighteen per cent. of a group of chil-
dren who died of tuberculosis were
found to have been infested with the
bovine bacillus. Probably eight per
tent. of all the tuberculosis deaths are
due to bovine diseases.
Under five years of age bovine ba-
cilli are ,supposed to be responsible
for sixty-one per cent. of tuberculosis
of glande, fifty-eight per cent. of ab-
dominal tuberculosis, sixty-six per
tentof generalized tuberculosis and
tuberculous meningitis, twenty-seven
per oentof tubeeculosis of bone", and
joints. One authority says that
ninety per cent. of the .glandular form
in Edinburgh is of bovine origin.
Morevaver, in the ease of beth cows
and humans the disease des not al-
ways manifest itself where the germs '
get in. Otherwise, all bovine tuber-
eulosis would be likely to be in the
tggestive tract. Children who drink
ethe milk of tuaerculans coves may
:nave no trouble there nut may show
he disease in 'remote pants of the
body, as in the knee, the hip, the spine c
and the lungs. - • t
; Although children do not always p
die from bovine tuberculosis, if they b
ecover, they are likely to be either t
sfigared er crippled. 1 t
The ease is an animal vee ordinarily] a
ecintneler friendly and harmless. Yet, e
apt to develop a better quatity of fur
enetnatene
than those which are housed in warm-
er quarters. Sherlock, in his work on /

Milk that conies to big cities tften
travels a great distance. It is some-
times twenty-four hours old when de-
livered at the door. Milk that is old,
or has been allowed to be warm in
transit is likely to have several times
as many germs as that which is fresh
and has been kept cold. Geed milk in-
spectors take no chances for there is
no better food on which to feed germs
han milk.
As a matter of safeguarding health,
even with the best inspection milk
for babies should be pasteurized. This
is done by heating the milk to one
hundred and forty-five degrees Fahr-
enheit and allowing it to remain at
that temperature for twenty minutes.
Rarely is the meat of tuberculosis
cattle sold in this country:, for we
have rigid laws condemning these ani-
mals for food. Other aninial products,
however, such as butter and cheese,
may contain germs. It is milk espe-
cially which must be most carefully
inspected for that is the food of our
babies and children, the future men
and women of our country.
Tile Drainage vs, Surface
Drainage.
It is doubtful if the benefits accru-
ing from tile drainage as compared
with surface drainage are as widely
recognized as they might be. At one
of the Illustratiot Stations conducted
under the Dominion Experimental
Farm system, the two methods are
being thoroughly tried out. Two fem-
., rotations are baing carried on,
one on land which A fairly well tile -
drain -ed, the other on land adjoining
with good average surface drainage,
bath soils being. similar.' Banner oats
have been sown in each nistarice,, the
results being a yield of 55, 'bushels
per acre on the tile-datained land at a
est of 36% cents per busbel, and on
he surface -drained land 21 'bushels
er acre at a cost of 74% cents per
Liebe], If eold at one dollar per bushel
inn would mean that the profit from
he tile -drained land was $34,70 per
ere against cnly $5.30 from the un
rained land.
