rectum. Scraping is done by means of a 
watch glass introduced into the rec 
turn, hedl firmly against the wall of 
the bowel and then pulled from within 
outward. The pinehings are made with 
the finger nails and should be placed in 
a ten per cent, solution of formaldehyde 
to prevent decomposition. In these spe¬ 
cimens the microscopist may find the acid- 
fast bacilli of the disease, but usually he 
has to examine a large number of speci¬ 
mens (sections and slides) before that 
becomes possible. The bacilli form col¬ 
onies in the mucous lining of the intes¬ 
tine. The walls of the invaded intestine 
becomes thickened, slightly inflamed and 
so deranged in function that absorption 
of food nutrients becomes seriously im¬ 
paired, hence the terrible emaciation of 
the starved victim. 
After death it is not a difficult matter 
to make certain that Johne’s disease ; s 
present. Stripping the small intestines 
through the fingers thickened portions 
are readily detected and on splitting them 
open the lining membrane is found to be 
intensely puckered, wrinkled or corrug¬ 
ated. In the healthy animal the lining 
is light pink in color and perfectly 
smooth. It is darker in the diseased con¬ 
dition and we sometimes see red spots in 
the depths of the wrinkles. The parts 
are bathed with the characteristic liquid 
discharge of the disease. The last third 
of the small intestine (ileum) most com¬ 
monly is affected, but some corrugations 
occasionally are found in the first por¬ 
tion of the intestine and the bacilli also 
may occur in the lymphatic nodes of the 
mesentery and in the wall of the fourth 
stomach and cecum (first large intes¬ 
tine). 
Medicinal treatment is futile. When 
the disease has been definitely diagnosed 
the affected animal should be killed and 
burned, the stable it has occupied should 
be cleansed, disinfected and whitewashed 
and the manure should not be placed 
upon pasture. A. s. Alexander, m. d. c. 
Dairy Conditions in Northern Indiana. 
Dairymen have no reason to complain 
of present conditions in this section. 
Milk producers are getting $1.40 per cwt. 
for milk testing four per cent, butterfat. 
As at this season many cows test five per 
cent., the milk brings about $2 per cwt. 
A raise is expected in the near future. 
There has been an abundance of moisture 
since the beginning of July, plenty of 
succulent pasture, and the cows have re- 
sponded with a generous flow of milk. 
There having been such an abundance of 
good pasture, cows are in good condition, 
very seldom a thin cow being seen. As the 
early part of the season was somewhat 
dry, the clover and Timothy hay crops 
were not very heavy, but the moisture 
of July and August has been such that 
it has been possible to make three cut¬ 
tings of Alfalfa, of which many farmers 
have a plantation. Farmers are rejoic¬ 
ing over the prospects of a good corn 
crop, the crop making rapid headway, 
and some of the early plantings being al¬ 
ready about ready to cut. Silos are nu¬ 
merous, and those who have none usually 
shred their corn fodder. Some feed more 
or less extensively of the commercial 
feeds during the Winter, such as wheat 
bran, gluten, beet pulp, and other feeds 
that are found on the markets. Although 
the price of commercial feeds is some¬ 
what higher than last season at this 
time, it is the opinion of many that prices 
will become lower because of the pros¬ 
pects of a heavy corn crop. d. l.

We have filled our silos with dry 
stalks, green corn and corn that was well 
glazed, that is in the roasting ear stage, 
and found the latter answered our pur¬ 
pose best. We think that corn that is 
quite green keeps the best but seems to 
be too acid to be very palatable, while 
on the other hand we have had trouble 
with air spaces and mold with dry fod¬ 
der. One year our corn was over ripe 
and the stalks very hard and dry, and 
we tried putting a mixture of one bucket 
of feeding molasses to 20 buckets of wa¬ 
ter to each foot in a silo measuring 16 
feet inside diameter. The mass kept 
well and the cows seemed to like it.
