A scries of tests concerning I
qurdity of the tuberculin prepared a
sold for veterinary use under Fede
permits has just been completed
the Bureau of Animal Industry of 1
* , department, and it is gratifying to
able to record that all samples tesi

/ As most owners of live stock pr
abb* know, tuberculin is the substai
which has made it possible, when pi
erly used, to distinguish with rema
able accuracy between animals affe
j ed with tubercolosis and those f
f from that disease. Its potency
one hand and its harmlessness on 1
other are not so generally known, i
are strikingly illustrated by the i
lowing facts:
If a quantity of tuberculin equal
the dose commonly injected under
skin of an 800-pound cow to t
wnether she is affected with or f
from tuberculosis is injected into
abdominal cavity of n tuberculc

double the quantity of tuberculir

other words the dose required to
a 1-pound tuberculous guinea pig
sufficient to test an 800-pound <
for tuberculosis, and two such do
are not sufficient to injure seriou
* a 1-pound healthy guinea pig.
There 'are no good reasons for
suming that cattle are more susc
tible to tuberculosis than guinea pi
and the injection of a foreign s
stance into the abdominal cavity of
animal is severer test of its possi
harmful character than its inject
under the skin. Actual injection t(

Clemson College, July 14.?In a
t wer to a recent inquiry as to the b
breed of hogs for wood pasture, wh
m the hogs.would have considera
^ range, the animal husbandry divis
of Clemson College recommends
Tarn worth.
The division stale? that, th^re is
one breed that can bo called "best"
conditions, but that where- good r
lers that will make good pork i
wanted, the Tamworth will answer.
Under normal conditions ,the Ta
worth is a good rustler and produ
^ large litters. It is a hog of the ba<
I type and the quality of the meat
I high. The Tamworth does not mati
I as rapidly as breeds of lard type, s\
I as the Berkshire and Duroc-Jers
I but for wood pasture, where cons
I erable rustling would be necessa
I the Tamworth would probably be p
I y ferabie.

Clemson College. July 20.?Farmers
who have grain to sell are urged to
write to Sidney S. Rittenbcrg, Clemson
College, for Bulletin No. 18, of
the Farmers' Reading Course. This
bulletin gives a list of the grain milts
of the State that will grind wheat, or
buyers of grain other than mill owners,
and of the new railroad freight
rates on grain, together'with an explanation
of the new grain rates.
This ^bulletin was prepared special

grain this summer and is the result of
a canvass of the state that was as
thorough as conditions permitted. It
is believed that the information contained

DEPARTMENT RULES
MEAT INSPECTION
" 1
How the Government Inspects
Animals Before They are
Killed |
FARMERS WHO RAISE
SHOULD KNOW RULES
Some Animals are Condemned
Outright While Others
Rejected Later. .-J
i
. i i
All farmers and others who raise or
handle cattle, sheep, hogs, or goats
which are marketed for food purposes
should know something of the general
rules under which the department
conducts the inspection of animals to
bo slaughtered.
When such animals are forwarded
to public stock yards or to establishments
where Federal meat inspection
is maintained they are inspcctd alive.
This inspection is known as the ante
mortem ii cpeetii.n and is done in the
stockyards or in the pens of tho os
\aonsnment. w Hon conducted in the
public stockyards the ante mortem inspection
is usually made at the scales
when the animals are weighed. The
ch'ef i'ronircments for the disposal of
| animals unon this inspection ;n-o as
follows: Those animals which do not
plainly show, but are suspected of being
affected with, any <1'sense or condition
which may cause condemnation
in whole or in part at the time of
slaughter, are marked with a seriallynumbered
metal tag which bears thelegend
"U. S. Suspect." All animalswhich
are thus marked as suspects
j are held apart and slaughtered sepa
lately from other animals, the only
! exception to this rule being those held
for advanced pregnancy or on account.
' of having recently given birth to
' young, and which have not been ex1
posed to any infections or contagious
! disease. Such animals .together with*
their young, may bo released for
breeding or dairy purposes, and when
so released they must be promptly removed
from the stockyards or premises
of the estublisments where inspected.
i O 1 ... 1 1
i ouiiio aninuus are coruiemneu outright
upon the ante-mortem inspec1
tion. For instance, all hogs which
, plainly show that they arc fcrfcctetl
with either hog cholera or ssVifie ^ague
are marked '*V. S. Condemned."
Further, it a hog is one ot a lot in
; which there are symptoms of hog
cholera or swine plague and the animal
has a temperature of 10G degrees
F. or higher, it is condemned. All
animals thus marked are destroyed
They can not be taken into the establishment
to be slaughtered or dressed
but must bo disposed of in tanks so as
to prevent their'use for food purposes.
In case of doubt as to the cause of the
high temperature the animal may be
held under the inspector's supervision
for further examination and taking of
temperature. Immature animals offered
for ante-mortem inspection at
any of the places specified in the regu
j lation and required to be condemned
outright; likewise all animals showing
symptoms of rabbies, tentamis, milk,
fever, or railroad sickness.
Resides this ante-mortem inspection
the carcasses are thoroughly inspected
at the time of and after slaughter,
and the meat and products are also inspected
in the various stages and processes
of preparation.
The losses caused through the condemnation
of animals which are unfit
tor food affects directly or indirectly
the price which the producer receives
for his live stock. The purchase of
animals for slaughter not infrequently
trace diseased shipments back to their
origin where disease is harbored, and
thereafter decline to take animals
from infected farms and localities except
under an arrangement which will
insure them against loss. It therefore
behoves the producer to use every
practicable means to keep his herds
and flocks free from disease and to
refrain from forwarding diseased or
suspicious animals to market.
: ?
Apples may be satisfactorily budded
by the same method as is used for
budding peaches.
Pull the soil from onions as they
approach maturity. They will ripen
1 better for this.
If you have no way of conveniently
watering the flower bed, mulch it
heavily with stable manure. This
will aid greatly in retaining the moisj.
I cure.
Do not fail to set a few rows of late
tomatoes. If gathered jus4 before
I frost and wrapped in paper the green
; fruit will keep until Christmas, or
I later and ripen well.
The sight of beautiful fruit at this
! season should induce you to start an
orchard yourself this fall. If yon
have money to throw away and do
not mind taking chances of not getting
the trees you want, order from a
tree agent. Otherwise, order your
trees direct from a good nurseryman.
