A dairyman whose herd Is once ennda free from tuberculosis may readily koop It so If he grows ills own supply of cows. The conditions for tlio suro ami rapid spread of tlio iIIhi'iiho aro more fiivuniblo In dairy than in other lii'i'ds bi'ciitiw! of the hirgii portion of tlio tinm Unit dairy cows are conlhwd In 'stalls In winter or at least are kept In stables even though not tied. Cows Should Do Tostod. Tlio dairy Interest Is greatly ham pered In certain states by Importing Into them cows that, have not been tested for tuberculosis, nays (ho Ameri can Cultivator. As long as this is per mitted the dairymen who Invest In suchl cows will have their own sorrows They aro Just about certain to Invest in somo Individuals that are affected with the disease.

Lane says: Tlio scales and the Dnbcock test are essential requisites for every true dairyman, lteconls are valuable because they assist dairymen to distinguish the good from the poor cows, assist the feeder in preparing ra tions economically, give warning of Hm approach of sickness and give Inspira tion to those who watch carefully lor Improvement. Accurate and continuous rccord.i are necessary for best ivulls Examples show the impracticability ot trying to determine the protltnblo cows by mere guesswork. One dairyman found tho cow ho had picked out fori best to be fifth on his merit list when actual records were taken. It Is de sirable that records of dairy animals Include not only tho dairy performance, but a concise history and description of each animal and a record at least of approximate accuracy of the cost of the feed of every cow, so that the economy of production may be determined.
