PHOTOGRAPHING LIVE STOCK. 
I note on page 226 a writer says in 
regard to taking pictures of live stock: 
“Be sure that the animal is square 
with the camera. Views taken at angles 
fool no one, but give one a bad im¬ 
pression. Avoid much of the distortion 
noticeable with short focus lenses.” I 
think that this will give one a rather 
false impression of the possibilities of 
CAMERA TOO NEAR TIIE HORSE. Fig. 143 
TUBERCULOSIS AND WILD DEER. 
On page 230 I read an article on deer 
by F. P. R., Connecticut. I send you a 
clipping from a recent issue of the Watcr- 
bury, Conn., American. Are we to have 
tuberculosis carried from farm to farm by 
the deer, in addition to the other benefits 
they give us, and all for what? They do 
no earthly good to anyone, they do much 
damage, and they are protected by law, yet 
they may not be used even for food by 
ABOUT THE RIGHT FOCUS. Fig. 144. 
the camera. A short focus lense does 
not give any more distortion than a 
long one. It is entirely a question of 
how far the camera is from the object 
which is taken which governs. To those 
who do not want to dig deep into the 
optics of photography but wish to get 
fair pictures of animals, on a quarter 
view, I would suggest that they take 
one picture which will fill the plate 
full and then back away to twice the 
distance and take another and then at 
three times the distance for still 
another, and they will find that it is 
the distance which governs the ques¬ 
tion of apparent distortion, and that 
with an ordinary camera they must 
choose between a large picture with 
the distortion or a smaller one without 
this disagreeable appearance. I enclose 
a quarter view snapshot, Fig. 143, and 
it seems that I was a little too near 
the horse, but the other one seems all 
right and much better than “square on.”

RESULT OF COW TESTING. 
There is nothing in which the agri¬ 
cultural press is so persistent as in 
the matter of cow testing. Associa¬ 
tions for this work are springing up 
in all directions. I have experimented 
some in this line all by myself, and 
herewith submit a statement of my 
four cows for the year 1911. It is not 
a record to be particularly proud of, 
but the work has assisted me in ascer¬ 
taining which are the poorest cows in 
the herd. 
Testing outfits are so low in price 
that anyone can afford to have one, 
and the instructions and directions 
which go with them are so plain that 
no mistake need be made with it. I 
simply test the milk of each cow once 
a week during the entire lactation 
period. The tests are then added to¬ 
gether and the result is divided by 
the number of weeks tested. This 
gives the average test. Cows are bred 
to freshen in March and are turned 
on pasture about May 15. The Winter 
feed is clover hay, corn fodder, mangel 
wurzels, corn and oat chop, wheat 
bran and oilmeal, everything being 
raised on the farm except the bran 
and oilmeal Our statement follows for 
the calendar year 1911:

The average number of pounds of 
milk per cow was 5,320 per year Aver¬ 
age price of milk per year, $1.35. This 
gives an average gross return of $71.82. 
Charging $35 per cow for board leaves 
a net profit of $36.82 per cow, the calves 
adding about $10 to this amount. Cow 
No. 1, in the beginning of her lactation 
period tested 4.1, increasing to 5.8 at 
the end of the period. No. 2 tested a 
little lower, while No. 3 and No. 4 be¬ 
gan as low as 3%, increasing to 4% 
at the end of the period, and we have 
concluded to send these to the sham¬ 
bles. However, this test does not 
cause us to decide against the Holstein 
breed. We are inclined to believe that 
the butter fat producing abilities of a 
cow depend more on the individual 
than on the breed. D. L.

those they injure most. We kill foxes be¬ 
cause they do damage, so do deer. We 
destroy fiies because they carry disease, 
so do deer. Give the farmers a square deal. 
What are the deer protected for? There 
must be a reason, good or bad. 
Connecticut. F. M. carrtl. 
Here is the clipping: 
Tuberculous DeerF 
“A large deer was found by Robert Crosby 
in his yard on Thursday morning while the 
body was still warm. Close inspection did 
not reveal the cause of death and the game 
warden was duly advised. An autopsy was 
held the next day and it was found that 
the left lung was Infected and nearly de¬ 
stroyed.” 
This statement was submitted to the Bu¬ 
reau of Animal Industry. The reply fol¬ 
lows : 
“Deer in captivity arc susceptible to tu¬ 
berculosis, hence it is very probable that 
wild members of the same species are also 
liable to tubercular infection whenever 
placed in a position which brings them into 
contact with virulent tubercle bacilli. Un¬ 
doubtedly tubercle bacilli from lesions in a 
deer would cause tuberculosis in cattle if 
suitably administered, but the danger of in¬ 
fection* from the presence of tuberculous 
deer in the pastures which the cattle graze 
over later, is somewhat remote. Direct sun¬ 
light is a most efficient destroyer of tuber¬ 
cle bacilli, therefore, unless the deer come 
into the cattle stables or under the open 
sheds, their droppings are quickly steril¬ 
ized and rendered harmless.”

Heaves is not a Lung Trouble. Heaves is 
brought on by Indigestion caused by overfeed¬

taxed Stomach. Overfeeding enlarges the 
Stomach and Diaphragm, retarding the circu¬
