Far from it Ninetyseven per cent are passed and go on the block for purposes for which they are fit, aa beef. To the dairyman who has not tested his cows, I would say that you do not have to test unless you want to. and the chances no* are that you will not have to for a long time, and do not get excited at the threats which emanate periodically from the health department of Chicago, the only purpose of which is to intimidate you into signing away your right to handle your own cattle. But at the same time, do not lax in your efforts to produce, as you have been doing for several years, the cleanest safest and best milk supply for the city of Chicago that any city of its size is receiving anywhere in these Unted States. "Sit tight, have patience and don't rock the boat by signing your healthy tuberculous cattle over to this tuberculin-punching crowd. "Yes, they are healthy unless they show physical signs of the disease, although they may be affected with tuberculosis. ^It is conceded by all authorities that 80 to 90 per cent of all humans and bo vines have, or show lesions of having had tuberculosis to a greater or lesser degree at some time during their lives and yet live out perfectly normal, healthy lives. "Again, it has never been proved that the disease is communicable from animal to man or from man to animal, and the records of mortality in the human family disprove any such contention, as they show a decided decrease in deaths from tuberculosis ever since statistics have been kept, and this decrease is just as great in localities in which milk is a common, every-day article of diet as where little or no milk is used "Keep tuberculin out of the cow and in a few years the dairy herds of Illinois will be back to the condition of 1900, if they are not there today. "Speaking from my personal ex perience and observation of more than forty years of handling dairy cattle, if under oath would say that the dairy herds of northern Illinois are just as good, just as healthy and safe as they have been at any time during tht period, and better." w-Wk DAIRY CATTLE Iteeu Taken from tht Plalatahr Septemder IS, UN 200,000 TO HEAR FIRST SCHOOL OALL Monday was the tenth anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Page, about 25 of their friends, wishing to brate the event, planned a which was a grand success and carried it out even to the minutest details.

Raw lings, state health director, takes oc casion to suggest in a bulletin issued today, that a health certificate for each of these men and women of to morrow will have a far more profound affect upon the ultimate result of school life than will the faultless grooming of the hair, the immaculate washing of hands and face or the dainty adjustment of a freshly laund ered collar. Lifted out of a carefree life of playful exercise in the open the six-year olds will find the phys ical strain of classroom discipline hard e^ugh without nursing the handicaps of defective vision, diseas ed tonsels, decayed teeth, impaired hearing or other disorders that are so frequently present but which us ually may be promjftly corrected by proper medical treatment. "Experience in public schools where adequate medical supervision exists shows that first grade children lose considerably more time from school because of illness than the children of any other grade", said Dr. Rawlings "They are more susceptible to di sease because of their tender years and because of the radical change of environment imposed by school room discipline and confinement They therefore need every possible attention which tends to increase their physical health and bodily resistances against infections. "Neatness of clothing and cleanliness of body are highly commend able virtues in school children but soap and water cannot remove a diseased tonsil nor can a fresh laundered collar correct poor vision or fill decayed teeth. The frequency of physical defects among young scildren and thoir evil affects upon health and school progress make corrective measures of great importance. YYear after year a lot of children who have been rated as dull and who have fallen behind their classes are found to be suffering from physical defects rather than mental incapacity. Such children, although they make satisfactory progress after corrective treatment, have lost forever the tardy years that were spent in vain efforts |^at learning and have had an unnec essary degree of discouragement •thrust upon them because of their innocent backwardness. "For the sake of the child's health jand welfare and for economy to the parents and public each of the 200,- 000 six-year-old tots who will soon answer the school bell for the first time ought to have the advantages of a thorough physical examination by a competent doctor. Each one, ought to face his teacher with the scar of a successful smallpox vaccination on his arm, a record of immunization against diphtheria and & certificate of health showing freedom from corrective defects. Armed with these safeguards and a normal mind, his career in school will cause him to approach much nearer the aspirations of Yris parents and the of modern civilised life than will other wise be the case." ' expect of the cow in the way " dswttaa Thousands of dairy cattle are Bwywa gener atty are ^ sold each yur to go into whole milk ®we for WK& Mli tlMt districts to the territory adjacent to cows whose pvpdnettona are notjpwfii large cities and into other sections The seller should offer ass' ' Where dairying is being introduced. Although the traffic in dairy cattle has been going on for years, there are many things which the beginning buyer and seller as well as some with more experience need to understand. Hie man who has dairy cattle for sale is usually advantageously situated if he lives in a community where cattle similar to his own can be secured. The buyer who wishes to purchase cattle in carload lots cannot afford to spend his time inspecting cattle for sale in herds located miles apart and so he goes to a community where the breed of cattle in which he is interested predominates. In such a community, several herds can be visited in a single day and many animals inspected. Dairy animals not in milk but show^ ing signs of freshing within a few weeks sell to an advantage. A cow due to" freshen soon shows _ size and capacity and gives a good indication of what may be expected as to udder development. Blemishes or unsoundness lower selling values depending upon their seriousness. A great many farmers who have dairy cattle to sell do not appreciate the importance of having their cows in good sale condition. The buyer of any class of live stock is bound to be influenced in his desire for an animal by its appearance. It is nee essary that animals carry a fair covering oi flesh if they are to sell to an advantage. A good covering of flesh adds to size and smoothness and emphasises that the animal is in thrifty oondition. The appearance of dairy animal is greatly improved by clipping the hair from the head udder and tail above the switch. If the hair on the body is long, the entire body should be clipped so that the buyer can observe the animal with out it being obscured by shaggy hair. Cows that make a good appearance often bring from $10 to (15 more than they otherwise would* Cow testing association records are measure of a cow's ability to produce aad so members'of cow testing associations have an advantage in the prices that they receive for their cows over their neighbors who are not members. A man who buys a cow that has demonstrated in a cow testing association that she can produce 250 pounds or more of butter fat in a year under average farm conditions, has more assurance as to what he can which wiH it easy for the to asemWe* and load animals purchased. Business should be done and accommiodatfon offered on ta basis that will promote future sales. It is poor business poKcy not to give the buyer fair treatment if he is willing to pay a fair price for the Stock offered him. , It sometimes^happens that the farmer who has good cows for sale is done an injustice due to the fact that the buyer has been misinformed from unreliable sources ae to the price wt^tch such cows command. Inexperienced buyers are often misled by hearsay information. Reliable sources of information for the beginner buyer are agricultural comity agent, and secretaries of county or state breed aas-gciations.

"We certainly are," said the other, quite disarmed "Lifii, then, do it to the best of Do you ever wonder why it is that gasoline trucks have a chain hanging down to the ground when they travel along and when they stop? This is done, says the accident prevention department of the Chicago Motor Club to get rid of static electricity which otherwise might set fire to the tank. Static electricity in connection with gasoline is a subject which should be more familiar to motorists, as an element of danger is invoived. In proof of this accident prevention department cites the case of a naval surgeon whose automobile was destroyed and its owner severly burned through the firing gasoline by a spark produced by frictional electricity. The surgeon had walked some distance to his garage in his overcoat and rubber boots. The friction of the flopping coat against the boots generated the electricity, while the rubber insulated him from the ground and allowed his body to store it. The spark therefore went through the grounded auto mobile, igniting the gasoline. Another case is cited of a chauffeur who hung an ordinary five gallon can on the iron hook of the gas pump. The gasoline had been pumped when a spark jumped from the can to the pump and fired the gasoline. They put out the fire and as the car was waiting to be filled they repeated the process and the' gasoline caught fire again. A large percentage of automobile mechanics may be seen smoking while working on cars, even when tinkering with vacuum tanks. Motorists seeing this conclude that gasoline has ceased to be dangerous, and because nothing happens they acquire a contempt for its known hazards. Sometimes, however, something does happen, and the result is always serious. The vapor from a gallon of gas oline when mixed with the right portion of air produces a hazard equal to eighty-five pounds of dynamite. If a motorists will consider the potential destructive power of gasoline on a par with dynamite fewer accidents of this nature will oc0tt.
