DAIRY CONTRACT AND TUBERCULOSIS. 
I am working a farm on shares, and 
my contract is for one year. Since com¬ 
ing here we have had a continued series 
of trouble with disease in the cows, 
caused by unsanitary conditions on the 
premises. All kinds of disease exist un¬ 
der the stable floor, from butchering that 
has been done in the same building, but 
the owner will not put in a cement lloor, 
and cannot seem to recognize disease in 
his stock, although they are all coughing. 
Already since my year began one of the 
dairy cows has died of tuberculosis and 
a second one had to be disposed of from 
the same complaint. I do not feel safe 
in being in the barn or around the cows, 
and am afraid to use the milk in my 
family. When the cows have to be shut 
up in Winter there will be still greater 
danger. Am I obliged to endanger my 
healtli and that of my family by staying 
the full year under these conditions, 
which the owner will not change? 
New York. w. e. 
I do not believe that you have sufficient 
ground for canceling your lease on the 
score of danger to yourself or your fam¬ 
ily, as there is no reason to believe that 
the ordinary care of a herd affected with 
tuberculosis exposes the attendant to un¬ 
usual risk. If bovine tuberculosis is 
transmitted to humans at all, as it prob¬ 
ably is, it is done through the medium of 
milk or other food that has been con¬ 
taminated by the disease germs expelled 
from the cow. These germs may leave 
the cow’s body either with the milk from 
her udder or in the urine and droppings. 
Knowing this, you do not need to use in 
your family any milk* from a suspected 
cow or milk from any source that has 
been exposed to the danger of contami¬ 
nation by particles of dung from sus¬ 
pected cows. Your own common sense 
will teach you how to prevent the pos¬ 
sibility of any such contamination un¬ 
der your own circumstances; ordinarily, 
it would mean practical isolation, or at 
least separate stabling, of the healthy and 
the suspected cows. 
The financial loss that you will be 
compelled to sustain through the pres¬ 
ence of tuberculosis in the rented herd 
should, it seems to me, be adjusted on 
the basis of the contract between you 
and your landlord. To obtain a basis 
for such an adjustment you will have to 
know which cows can be safely used and 
which cannot. This can be learned from 
a tuberculin test, and it would probably 
be best, to have this test made by the 
State Department of Agriculture. The 
landlord would then obtain partial com¬ 
pensation for his condemned cows and 
you could ask the landlord to replace 
them by healthy ones, which I think he 
would be compelled to do if your rental 
contract calls for a certain number on 
the farm. An examination by the De¬ 
partment is made without expense to the 
owner, but I am not sure that it would 
be made at the request of a tenant. This 
you could ascertain by writing the De¬ 
partment at Albany, N. Y. In view of 
the frequent discovery of tuberculosis in 
supposedly healthy herds it would seem 
to be a wise provision on the part of 
landlords and tenants to have this con¬ 
tingency provided for in rental contracts.

Lumpy Milk. 
I have a cow that gives lumpy milk. 
She is a healthy cow; sometimes the 
milk is all right, sometimes it is worse 
than others, fan you tell me what to 
do for her? I have fed her everything 
I could think of. l. s. t. j. 
The cow no doubt has suffered an at¬ 
tack of maramitis (garget) at some time 
and has not perfectly recovered; nor is 
it likely that she will perfectly recover, 
as such cases usually prove chronic and 
incurable. When the entire udder is af¬ 
fected it is best to sell the cow to the 
butcher, or to fatten her for slaughter, 
as soon as the milk flow proves to be un¬ 
profitable. It should also be remembered 
that tuberculosis of the udder sometimes 
is present, so that it always is wise to 
test the cow with tuberculin. Conditions 
such as you describe are commonly 
brought on by the cow lying upon a 
cement stall floor, or cold wet ground, 
so that her udder becomes chilled, or it 
may come from bruising in the stable, 
from indigestion, sudden chauges of feed, 
overfeeding, rough or irregular milking 
or any cause of serious disturbance of 
the health of the cow. At times of at¬ 
tack milk her four times a day, massag¬ 
ing the udder thoroughly each time and 
at night rub in a mixture of one part 
each of fluid extract .of poke root and six 
parts of warm melted lard or sweet oil. 
A tablespoonful of saltpeter may be al¬ 
lowed once daily in the drinking water, 
for four or five days a week, but it is not 
well to give this to a cow that soon will 
have a calf. a. s. a.

College, was working so hard for the record 
of 19,600 pounds of milk and 835 pounds of

Henry returns to show that she is some cow
