TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
MOON ECLIPSE SAW THE COMET
James H. Burnett, Veterinary Sur-
geon, Tells How It Effect
Cattle.
Tuberculosis is caused by a germ
bacillus tu;becu(losis.) The germ
usually develops In a weakened íun-
down system, poorly ventilated
stables, in-breeding, etc., tend to
cause an animal to take the disease.
An animal may not be born with the
disease, but if its system Is in weak-
ened condition it will contract the
disease quite easily ,o:i being expos-
ed to it.
Tuberculosis in cattle is the same
as consumption in the human family.
The gem may be transfered from
man to animal and from cow to man.
Cattle are more subject to tubercu-
'osis than any other domestic ani-
mals. It has been proven beyond a
doutt that it is unsafe to use milk
from u cow affected with the disease.
Tuberculosis is a disease character-
ized by the deposits of tUbercler in
different organs of tho body. Tuber-
cles are fleshy bodies, varying in
size from a millet seed to several
pounds in weight,. They usually con-
tain a cheery substance and are gen-
erally found in the lympathic glands;
liver, intettines, udder, etc.
The disease prevails in all coun-
tries vlice man and caltlt. mingle.
By the tuberculin test it 'a found that
EO to 8) per cent of «orne herds
(dairy ttTds) are affected with cor.-
sumpticr; some of them may appear
in perfect health, still have the dis-
ease. The first stages are hard to de-
tect, without the use ot ;he tubercu-
lin test. It is a disease flaw in Its
course, find many times iiut.ctice'1
an 1 I.'uiui to bo tubercalusu wheu
slaughtered. In those animals show-
ing symptoms v&ually have a dry,
hoarse cought, at first occurring after
feeling or drinking, or mav be easily
excited by running the .«nirnal. As
ihP disease r> ogresses the animal
ha* a thin, unthiifty appeo-a.ice, coui
is rough, this persists regardless of
good care and feed. The cough be-
comes more frequent, breathing more
rapid and the slightest exertion us-
ually there is a discharge from the
nose. Bieath if offensive, continually
increasing in weakneiss, disordered dl
gestión, bloating and diarrhoea. Of-
ten all symptoms are wanting to be
sure, use tuberculine tqrt as this dl
ease is lncuraíble, no effort should be
spared to stamp ouit this terrible dis-
ease and keep it from getting into
your heart All suspicious cows
should be quarantined and subjected
to tbe tuberculine teat
Om. bkcmu.
Last evening beginning at about 9
o'clock the moon began to pass into
the huge shadow of the earth. It ap-
peared as if a great slice of the old
rataü19 was turning black. A round-
ed black thing crept slowly over the
orb of the moan until half of it was
feff'sced; then two-thirds, and all the
wnile the earth was shivering in a
cold wind which seemed to have
come up to accent the strange condi-
tions In the sky. The weird moon
with his eye nearly knocked out cast
a sepulchral light over things and
the excitement In the heavens was
continued and increased by a mag-
nificent Aurora Borealis in the north,
while the comet in the west summon-
ed up its best possible display dur-
ing the time the moon was off duty.
About 11 o'clock the face of Luna
was entirely obscured and the dark-
ness was Intense and unnatural.
Then the silver rim appeared on the
other side and the total darkness of
the disk was gradually dispelled as
it had come. Tbe Aurora was wit-
nessed by many peisors and dlscrib-
ed as a magnificent rainbow in the
north. Colors are not often distin-
guishable af night, but on last even-
ing the whole spectrum was display-
ed in the bow and the ball of the
noon while It was In total eclipse
was of a dull, flrery red. The sky
was clear but for hazy strips of fly-
ing cloud much reminding one of tbe
lost tail of the comet.
Mitas, te leading photographer, has
decided to Introduce a das* of pbo-
Logra phi c work that is good and will
■meet competitive prices. Cabinet
size from $1.50 per dozen up. We
are aware of the fact that money is
scarce, but we have lots of friends
who are willing to pay a moderate
price ,and some who want a cheap
class of work that Is good and prefer
us to do it for them. 44

The cheapest fruit trees are those
which make the most vigorous growth
in a given time n:.U not uecessurlly
those which have been bought at the
lowest price.
The flock of liens and the family horse
•r cow will grettlly uppreclntc the fresh
lawn cut11n;;x. and. more than this,
their condition will be better for hav-
lug the relish.
The wooden barrel or pall can be
kept from going to pieces during the
hot weather If it Is kept covered,
enough moisture circulating to keep
the staves from getting loose.
A pound of tobacco stems or leaves
or a package of s¡ mug smoking tobac-
co steeped i:: u small quantity of warm
water and diluted to tlve gallons is an
effective spray for the green aphis,
which does much damage to fruit trees
In many sections.
A well known poultry breeder and
Judge of poultry a gooil many years
ago expressed the view that the word
"standard bred" as applied to poultry
might be properly applied to fowls
which would score 8."> per cent or bet-
ter on the basis of the standard of re-
quirement in vogue for the breed in
question.
Where bearded barley forms part of
the roughage ration or where foxtail
is mixed in with timothy and clover it
is well to keep rather close watch of
the horses' mouths. as the beards are
likely to become bedded In the tender
portions of the gums or of the Inner
lips. Should sucii ii condition be found
the cause of ilie irritation should be
removed and if feasible a kind of hay
substituted which is free from the of-
fending cause.
According to a rcccnt decision of the
department of agriculture the name
Bocky Ford niuskmclons can hereafter
only be used in advertising melons pro-
duced in the celebrated Colorado melon
district, while similarly the phrase In-
dian River as applied to oranges may
only bo commercially applied to those
raised along this particular river in
Florida. Heretofore these terms have
boon very freely and generally used.
The decision of the department will
mean an added value in these terms or
trademarks to those who are legally
entitled to use them. ,
Not satisfied with working off ou
unsuspecting patrons trees that are not
true to name, some fruit tree represent-
atives *vill even go so far as to substi-
tute seedlings for the variety ordered.
The seedling tree, tho shoot from n
root which has not been root grafted,
budded or top worked, is usually dls
tlnguished by its finer leaf with rough
er edge, its tendency to send out fro
quent shoots nt right angles to the
main stem er branches and its dlsposi
tlon to revert to the original thorny
crab stage. Such seedlings iu an or-
chard plot are absolutely worthless
and should he top grafted with some
known and valuable variety.

DREN'S DAY EXERCISES.
Experiments which have been con-
ducted by a number of state experi-
ment stations lu the matter of smudg-
ing fruit trees to prevent frost dam-
age would seem to Indicate thai it is
not the heat generated by the smudge
or fire that keeps the fruit from freez-
ing, but that the smoke generated
forms a blanket which keeps cold air
from penetrating the smoke zone and
holds down the heat radiating from
the earth. The smudge, according to
this view, is a means of heat conserva-
tion rather than heat production, it
also further serves tbe purpose of ob-
scuring the light of the sun iu the
early morning hours, thus preventing
a rapid thawing of blossoms that may
have been frostbitten.
As a result of experiments which
were conducted at the Colorado borti
cultural station last season By Pro-
fessor Weldon, field entomologist, It
was found that flowers of sulphur, one
pound to three gallons of water, with
enough soap so that the sulphur would
mix with the wnter, was a very ef-
fective Insecticide when used as ii
summer spray for the brown aphis.
Apple, peach, plum, cherry, pear and
almond trees were found more or less
affected by the pest. Tobacco prepara-
tions were found effective In kllllnp
tbe mites, but not the eggs, several
treatments being required to dispose
of the mites. Oil sprays penetrated
and killed many of tbe eggs, but were
found unsafe to use with waters
strongly Impregnated with alkali.

JAMES H. BURNETT
Veterinary Surgeon and Dentist
""Makes a specialty of Testing Cattle
for Tuberculosis. When we bear in
mtnd that cattle effected with this
disease show no symptoms ur.til the
condition is far advanced, save per-
haps a slight cough, or repeated at-
tacks of Hoven (bloat), with no ap-
parent cause. It is of the utmost im-
portance that cattle be tested to de-
termine whether youare harboring an
animal affected with this terrible
disease (tuberculosis), which it fre-
quently transferred to the human
family by using milk from affected
cows.

While the mistletoe occupies a sort
of poetic place In people's estimation
and is the cause of interesting trans-
actions at the holiday season and on
sundry social occasions, it Is produced
at a fearful cost In tree life, particu-
larly of a few varieties of oaks, on
which It sponges for Its existence
White oaks three feet and more in
diameter and solid to the core are done
to death by this parasitic pest While
tbe seeds of the mistletoe are depos-
ited by birds on fences, buildings and
even on the trunk and limbs of fruit
trees, they seem to take root only on
rough surfaces, the limbs of tbe oak
being especially favorable In this par-
ticular. Once the root of tbe little
plant gets a foothold It grows vigor-
ously, Its tissue becoming closely uult
ed with that of the limb on which It
grows. In sections where It Is found
It Is often gathered at holiday time
and shipped to the larger markets,
where from «8 to ,#10 par ton is paid

WILL BE CONE JOHNSON DAY.
There is much enthusiasm over
fhe proposed trip to Corsicana next
Saturday to hear Hon. Cone Johnson
speak In the afternoon A commit-
tee who Is at work on the. matter re-
port that they expect to have 200 out
if Tyler, besides there will bo dele-
gations from all nearby towns. A
phone mossage from Athens this af-
ternoon states that already over a
hundred people have signified their
intention ot' galng from that place.
So It is safe to say that from five to
s-ix hundred people will go on this
trip. The Kid Band will be members
of the party and provide Johnson
imudc for the crowd and at stations
along the line The cars will bo pro-
vided with streamers and all mem-
ber? will wear badges.
The Cotton Beit railway will pro-
vide a special train, leaving Tvlor ar
a convenient hour and returning af-
ter the sopaklng.
The fare is $2.25 ,and those who
wish to do so will be asked to pay 50
cuits extra which will go towards
paying the expense of the band.
By today's Dallas News, it will be
noted that Corsicana citizens are
making elaborate preparations for
the event. Precinct chairmen have
been apopinted and extensive at-
rangoments are being made.
Let us all go and make a Johnson
day in every sense of the word.
