A  Margin  of  60  Days 
On  page  9.38  we  printed  a  letter  from 
a  reader  who  made  the  following  state¬ 
ment  about  selling  purebred  cattle: 
I  expect  to  give  the  purchaser,  if  he  be 
a  reputable  man.  the  r:  :M  to  test  the  cat¬ 
tle  within  <50  days  after  receiving  them, 
and  if  they  react,  destroy  them  at  my 
expense  and  have  his  purchase  price  re¬ 
funded.  1  run  still  of  the  opinion  that 
the  greatest  incentive  to  proper  purchase 
of  goods  by  advertisement  is  absolutely  to 
throw  down  the  liars  and  iiave  everything 
guaranteed  without  the  slightest  Hrnita- 
f  ion  whatsoever. 
Wo  have  submitted  this  problem  to  a 
large  number  of  breeders.  Some  have 
replied  and  we  start,  below,  the  publica¬ 
tion  of  their  answers.  We  give  anyone  a 
chance  to  present  a  fair  and  brief  state¬ 
ment.  Others  will  follow : 
Abortion  and  Tuberculosis 
Two  diseases  which  the  breeders  dread 
arc  abortion  and  tuberculosis.  The  latter 
is  only  fairly  safeguarded  by  the  tubercu¬ 
lin  test,  and  German  authorities  doubt  it 
to  he  entirely  safe.  Our  States  nearly  all 
demand  a  certificate  from  a  certified  vet¬ 
erinarian.  to  accompany  all  dairy  cattle 
over  six  months  of  age.  In  stockyards 
here  dairy  cattle  are  tested,  but  when  a 
large  number  come  in  Saturdays  for 
Monday  market  it  is  doubtful  in  correct¬ 
ness.  In  one  case  I  was  assisting  a  vet¬ 
erinarian.  taking  down  temperatures  as 
lie  read  them;  I  called  his  attention  to 
readings  alike,  and  on  inserting  thermom¬ 
eter  again  found  he  fin  hurry)  had  not 
shaken  the  indicator  down.  Personally  T 
would  accept  a  60-day  test  at  my  expense 
by  a  competent  veterinarian  and  refund 
all  cost,  but  into  another  State  the  test 
must  he  before  shipping,  as  above.  A 
rotest  after  60  days  would  be  against  the 
seller,  as  the  place  where  the  cattle  went 
might  he  foul  with  disease.  Even  at  fair 
grounds,  the  question  is  up  of  demanding 
disinfection  of  premises  before  cattle 
come  for  even  a  few  days  showing. 
Any  reasonably  intelligent  man  can 
make  (he  tuberculin  test  if  ho.  can  get  the 
stuff,  and  it  is  to  the  self  interest  of  every 
breeder  to  keep  a  clean  herd.  Last  Fail 
I  wanted  cows  for  two  wealthy  families 
where  there  are  children.  I  was  asked 
$200  for  one  cow,  and  would  have  t  ken 
her.  but  the  owner  said  :  “I  never  had 
disease  here  and  will  not  test,  because, 
should  she  react,  all  neighbors  would  be 
told  and  spread  it  and  I  would  be  ruined 
as  a  breeder.”  The  M.  D.'s  tell  me : 
“Man  is  more  dangerous  to  the  cow  than 
the  cow  is  to  man."  Mail  is  the  dirtiest 
and  most  diseased  animal  known.  Does 
the  cow  get  drunk  and  do  the  acts  man 
will  commit?  Will  the  hog  lie  down  in  his 
own  filth  if  he  can  help  it  and  is  pro¬ 
vided  with  a  clean  bed?  When  I  buy  new 
cattle  I  want  them  tested.  Were  I  a 
younger  man,  starting  breeding.  I  would 
want  new  buildings,  and  would  have  a 
separate  and  isolated  detention  building 
where  new  purchases  would  be  kept  60 
days.  Dr.  Marshall  told  us  at  last  breed¬ 
ers’  meeting  that  germs — alive  although 
dormant — had  been  found  under  white¬ 
wash  five  years  old.  K.  F.  SHANNON.

Tuberculosis  and  Purebred  Cattle 
la  giving  my  views  on  the  above  sub¬ 
ject.  which  I  agree  is  a  vital  one  to  all 
breeders  of  purebred  stock,  I  cannot 
speak  of  any  known  knowledge  of  crook¬ 
edness  in  administering  the  test.  If  this 
has  beeti  done  (he  crime,  for  it  is  nothing 
else,  would  fall  on  the  veterinarian  who 
injected  I  he  tuberculin,  registered  the 
temperatures  and  signed  the  health  cer¬ 
tificate.  For  a  consideration  the  tem¬ 
perature  might  hr  reported  lower  than  it 
was.  There  would  he  an  opportunity 
here  for  dishonesty  on  both  sides,  and  to 
a  loss  by  the  would-be  purchaser,  but 
alone  the  breeder  is  unable  to  deceive  the* 
buyer,  only  as  he  enu  conceal  any  visible 
fault  or  blemishes.  In  the  thousands  of 
Holstein  breeders  it  is  possible  to  find  a 
few  who  do  not  apply  the  “Golden  Rule” 
to  their  business;  they  are  the  exceptions 
to  he  found  in  every  profession.  Per¬ 
sonally  I  am  opposed  to  a  periodical  herd 
test  for  tuberculosis,  for  fear  of  infec¬ 
tion,  and  in  the  25  years  I  have  bred  Hoi- 
steins  I  do  not  think  I  have  lost  over 
one  in  five  years  that  I  have  bred  myself, 
nor  had  1  had  more  than  two  cases  of  re¬ 
action. 
I  have  no  objection  to  giving  an  honest 
tuberculin  test,  if  the  purchaser  requires 
it,  and  he  is  willing  to  stand  for  the  ex¬ 
pense,  rather  than  take  the  owner's  guar 
an  tec,  as  to  their  physical  condition.  As 
to  a  buyer  purchasing  stock  subject  to  a 
test  after  60  days,  it  looks  a  little  one¬ 
sided.  If  the  stock  is  sound  when  pur¬ 
chased  some  local  conditions  might  affect 
a  fair  test  at  the  end  of  60  days,  or  the 
purchaser  could  easily  cause  one  or  more 
to  react,  especially,  if  he  thought  he  had 
paid  too  much  for  them. 
It  strikes  me  if  a  business  man  wishes 
to  purchase  as  nmuy  as  10  head  of  pure¬ 
bred  animals,  costing  from  $1,000  to 
$3,000,  according  to  breeding,  etc.,  it 
would  he  a  good  business  policy  for  him 
to  go  himself  or  sernl  an  experienced  man 
and  visit  the  herds  of  responsible  breed¬ 
ers,  and  pick  out  wbat  he  wants  and  have 
them,  there  and  then,  tested  under  his 
own  supervision.  There  is  nothing  like 
seeing  with  your  own  eyes  what,  you  buy. 
and  in  the  end  gives  far  better  satisfac¬ 
tion.  Buyers  are  often  too  exacting; 
they  want  sometimes  too  much  for  their 
money  and  are  too  willing  to  condemn 
stock  which  with  different.  matUlgcneut 
and  environment  fail  to  produce  perhaps 
what  they  did  at  the  time  of  the  pur¬ 
chase  ;  breeders  are  often  condemned  for 
conditions  which  later  develop,  and  for 
which  they  are  in  no  way  responsible.  I 
believe  the  majority  of  breeders  of  pure¬ 
bred  stock  do  business  on  an  honorable 
basis  and  sell  like  other  tradesmen  their 
goods  as  represented.  ika  s.  jaevis.

Watch  the  Buyer 
We  have  bought  and  sold  purebred  cat¬ 
tle  for  a  number  of  years,  and  have  felt 
confidence  in  the  tests  of  those  we  bought, 
and  know  that  those  we  sold  were  hon¬ 
estly  and  faithfully  tested.  If  any  man 
hesitates  to  buy  cattle  on  account,  of  the 
fear  of  (lie  tuberculin  tost  administered 
by  a  licensed  veterinarian,  lie  needs 
watching  himself,  and  I  doubt  if  auyone 
would  sell  him  animals  subject  to  a  60- 
day  wait  before  testing  on  his  own  prem¬ 
ises.  It  might  inspire  more  confidence 
to  have  the  State  veterinarian  or  Com¬ 
missioner  of  Agriculture  appoint,  in  each 
community  or  county  veterinarians  as 
official  examiners  for  tuberculosis,  and 
to  have  each  veterinarian  test  with  tuber¬ 
culin  from  the  State  Laboratory,  fresh 
for  each  case.  It  is  generally  better, 
also,  to  purchase  cattle  near  borne  as  in 
most  cases  they  can  he  easily  investi¬ 
gated  and  the  cost  is  less  for  transporta¬ 
tion,  etc.  TABKR  &  MIGNIN.

“Theoretically,  Yes;  Practically,  No !  ” 
Alt  veterinarians  agree  as  to  what  tu¬ 
berculosis  is,  lmt  do  any  of  them  agree  as 
to  the  method  of  communicating?  I 
would  be  very  willing  to  buy  purebred 
cattle  on  the  basis  of  a  60-day  retest,  hut 
would  he  unwilling  to  sell  on  that  basis, 
which  shows  the  personal  unfairness  of 
which  the  human  creature  has  more  or 
less.  If  you  had  asked  this  question 
when  I  had  my  first  tuberculin  test  I 
could  have  told  you  exactly  what  to  do 
and  how  to  do  it,  like  the  15-year-old 
boy,  but  the  more  testing  I  see  done  I 
am  frank  to  say.  the  less  I  know  about 
it.  A  cow  tested  for  me  in  December, 
1914,  which  proved  to  he  not  with  calf, 
was  slaughtered  November.  1915,  and 
was  found  to  be  perfectly  rotten.  My  vet¬ 
erinarian  said  she  could  contract  the 
“bugs.”  and  they  ■would  develop  to  that, 
stage  In  three  weeks.  Do  you  believe  it? 
Then  again  I  have  heard  noted  authori¬ 
ties  say  a  cow  with  a  had  dose  of  it  will 
not  respond  to  tuberculin.  A  neighbor  of 
mine  who  makes  certified  milk  lost  in 
four  years  prior  to  1915  six  head  of 
cows;  in  the  19.15  test  28  responded  to 
the  tost.  Where  did  they  get  it? 
Take  the  llarriuiau  herd  at  Arden,  N. 
Y.,  when  in  years  previous  to  1915  only 
three  or  four  each  year  would  react,  and 
in  1015  over  50  head  went.  had.  Where 
did  they  get  it?  You  can  say  crooked¬ 
ness.  Personally  I  have  never  seen  any 
crookedness  in  using  tuberculin  in  this 
sectiou.  but.  I  am  satisfied  it  is  practiced 
-in  many  places.  You  can  say  careless¬ 
ness.  which  I  think  can  he  remedied  or 
helped.  I  mean  both  the  veterinarian  and 
the  farmer. 
We  have  authorities  tell  us  that  the 
“dope”  will  not  leave  a  cow’s  system  under 
90  days,  so  what  good  would  a  60-day 
retest  do?  I  have  heard  of  a  cattle  dealer 
in  Centra!  New  York  who  guaranteed  the 
retest  and  suffered  a  heavy  financial  loss. 
I  am  informed  he  has  quit  the  practice. 
If  cattle  were  to  he  sold  on  a  60-day 
guarantee  it  would  make  a  lot  of  differ¬ 
ence  wlmt  kind  of  a  stable  they  wore  go¬ 
ing  into,  because  personally  I  think  some 
stables  are  packed  full  of  ihe  germs,  as 
Well  ns  the  freight  cars,  chutes,  etc. 
The  principle  of  a  guarantee  on  a  four- 
months’  retest  for  cattle  kept  under  per¬ 
fectly  sanitary  conditions  in  my  opinion 
is  all  right,  hut  the  price  would  have  to 
be  raised  at  least.  20  per  cent,  in  order 
to  offset  any  arising  trouble.  Is  tubercu¬ 
lin  the  best  thing  to  test  a  cow  with?  Is 
there  nothing  more  sure.  We  have  a 
raft  of  skilled  veterinarians,  and  if  there 
is  any  set  of  men  on  earth  that  know 
more  than  any  other  set  it  is  them,  so  let. 
them  dig  out  something  more  certain 
than  tuberculin.  The  State  of  New  York 
is  doing  a  loL  to  help  the  farmer  clear  up 
tuberculosis,  the  Legislature  having  just 
appropriated  over  $100,000  to  pay  for 
diseased  animals.  This  I  believe  repre¬ 
sents  about  8  per  cent,  of  the  cuttle  in  the 
State.  How  much  does  it  help?  While 
I  agree  with  the  principle  of  standing  by 
your  cattle  there  are  so  many  things  that 
would  enter  into  the  details  I  have  my 
doubts  if  it  would  work  out  to  the  entire 
satisfaction  of  the  seller,  so  I  would  say 
theoretically,  yes ;  practically,  no.

Feeding  for  Milk 
I  am  feeding  my  five  milch  cows  ou 
fair  pasture,  a  mixture  of  100  lbs.  bran. 
100  lbs.  gluten,  100  lbs.  cottonseed  meal, 
100  lbs.  cornmeal.  Can  you  suggest  any 
more  economical  feed  for  butterfat? 
Milk  is  sold  on  a  butterfat  basis  but  I 
am  thinking  of  changing  to  a  milk  dealer 
who  does  not  test,  in  case  we  do  change 
what  feed  would  you  recommend  for  in¬ 
crease  of  flow  regardless  of  butterfat 
content?  From  your  experience  what 
would  you  give  as  the  probable  length  of 
time  in  which  a  10x32  stave  silo  would 
pay  for  itself  if  we  were  milking  eight 
cows?  L.  m.  n. 
You  would  feed  the  same  grain  ration 
whether  you  were  selling  your  milk  on  a 
butterfat  basis  or  by  the  quart  or  hun¬ 
dred  weight.  In  other  words,  science  has 
not  yet  told  us  how  to  vary  the  fat  con¬ 
tent.  of  milk  to  any  appreciable  extent  by 
feeding.  Since  pasture  grasses  are  prac¬ 
tically  a  balanced  ration  for  cows,  the 
grain  ration  should  be  balanced  also. 
Your  grain  ration  contains  more  protein 
than  is  necessary.  The  following  ration 
is  more  economical  and  balances  good 
pasture:  Two  parts  Cornmeal  or  hominy, 
one  part  bran,  one  part  middlings.  As 
the  pasture  dries  up  it  will  bo  proper 
to  use  more  gluten  and  cottonseed  to 
supply  the  necessary  protein. 
A  10x32  foot  silo  would  hold  enough  to 
feed  eight  cows  a  little  over  a  year,  feed¬ 
ing  at  the  rate  of  30  lbs.  per  day.  I  don’t 
know  that  I  could  state  just  how  long  it 
would  take  for  increased  returns  due  to 
silo  to  pay  for  it  I  do  not.  believe  you 
can  afford  to  he  in  the  dairy  business 
without  a.  silo.  A  silo  10x25  or  30 
would  accommodate  eight  cows  and  allow 
for  Summer  feeding  to  supplement  pas¬ 
ture.  This  last  point  is  very  important, 
particularly  when  the  pastures  get  short.

The  price  paid  for  milk  at  this  sta¬ 
tion — 12  miles  from  Philadelphia — is 
$1.80  per  cwt.  at  present,  equal  to  about 
2.82  cents  per  quart.  It  retails  at  8c 
in  Philadelphia.  The  dairyman,  there¬ 
fore,  is  getting  at  present  35)4 -cent  dol¬ 
lar.  One  of  the  large  companies  has 
made  efforts  to  increase  its  receipts,  gave 
a  picture  show  and  talk  in  the  Opera 
House,  showed  the  advantages  and  value 
of  grade  “A”  milk.  It  was  explained 
this  grade  retails  at  10c  per  qt.  and  they 
would  pay  25c  per  cwt.  premium  for  it  ; 
that  is  they  would  give  about  one-half 
cent  per  qt.  additional  for  milk  that 
would  fetch  them  2c  per  qt.  more.  The 
dairymen  are  taking  it  up  as  fast  as  they 
can  qualify  their  herds  anrl  equipment  for 
it.  A  little  larger  incoma  per  cow  re¬ 
sults.  The  puzzle  is,  why  grade  “A” 
milk  should  only  be  worth  27%  of  the 
consumer’s  dollar — as  against.  35! jc  for 
grade  “B".  Does  this  seem  like  an 
equitable  division  for  greater  care  and 
expense  and  certainly  more  wholesome 
milk?  L.  M.  P. 
West  Grove,  Pa. 
This  has  been  one  of  the  wettest  sea¬ 
sons  ever  known.  As  a  rule  farmers 
have  been  late  getting  their  crops  in, 
and  the  weather  has  continued  SO  wet 
they  have  not  been  able  to  work  them 
properly  so  there  are  many  grassy  corn¬ 
fields  and  tomato  patches.  The  acreage 
in  tomatoes  is  large  which  is  due  to  a 
higher  price  being  offered  by  the  can* 
ners  for  contract  tomatoes.  Tomato 
patches,  however,  are  very  broken.  The 
pea  crop  which  was  the  best  for  a  num¬ 
ber  of  years,  is  nearly  over.  The  ear¬ 
ners  have  packed  large  quantities  of  this 
vegetable.  They  pay  the  grower  2*4 
cents  per  pound  for  the  shelled  peas  and 
do  the  shelling.  The  grower  cuts  them 
with  either  the  mowing  machine  or  hand 
scythe  and  hauls  them  to  the  cannery  on 
the  vine.  The  grower  is  allowed  to  haul 
his  vines  home  to  feed  to  his  stock,  for 
which  purpose  they  arc  excellent,  free. 
The  hay  crop  is  probably  the  largest,  on 
record.  Farmers  are  busily  engaged  try¬ 
ing  to  harvest  it  but  much  of  the  crop 
has  already  been  spoiled  by  wet  weather. 
Wheat  harvest  is  almost  over.  The  crop 
of  straw  on  an  average  is  large.  If  the 
weather  is  favorable  thrashing  will  com¬ 
mence  in  a  few  days.  There  is  much 
speculation  as  to  whether  the  straw  is 
well  filled  or  not.  The  strawberry  crop 
is  over.  The  yield  was  a  good  one,  but 
the  wet  weather  caused  the  berries  to  he 
soft  and  prices  were  not  very  satisfac¬ 
tory.  Early  Transparent  apples  and 
some  early  varieties  have  commenced  go¬ 
ing  to  market.  Prices  have  been  fancy 
so  far  for  this  fruit.  C.  H.
