Information of Interest Furnished by Department of Agriculture. BULLETINS ISSUED BY R. A. PEARSON How the Germs of Infectious Dis- ease Are Transmitted. SUGGESTED SAFEGUARDS ———— The latest farmers’ bulletin to be issued by the Department of Agriculture is by R. A. Fearson, B.S., assistant chief of the berry division, bureau of animal industry, and is entitled “Care of Milk on the Farm.” The bulletin contains much matter ef interest, and also a number of illustra- ticns. The bulletin states that milk ordinarily contains large numbers of bacteria. There may be from a few hundred to many mil- lions in a single drop, depending upon its exposure and the time and opportunity the germs have had for increasing. Dirt in milk is a sure sign of large numbers of bac- teria. City milk usually contains from ten thousand to several hundred thousands of bacteria in a single cubic centimeter. The number of bacteria in a sample of milk is not an indication of its impurity, ror an absolute proof that it is or is not of good quality. Large numbers of harm- less bacteria are sometimes good milk. It is the harmful those which are Hable to become hari ful, if present in too large number: chiefly concern the dairymen. Whenever large numbers of harmless germs are found there is a probability that dangerous ones are included. Over two hundred different kinds of dairy bacteria are found in milk and its products, new and old. Dangerous Contamination. Contamination of milk by the germs of disease is the most dangerous form. Some infectious diseases attack animals and man alike, and if a cow is suffering with one of these she is a menace not only to the whole herd, but to persons who consume her product, for her milk may readily act as a carrier of germs to the consumer. It has been found that in certain diseases, especiaily when the udder is affected, the germs may be in the milk at the time it is drawn, then no amount of protection after milking will assure freedom from disease- producing bacteria. Tuberculosis cr consumption is the dis- ease that is most common and most to be feared. Much has been written on this sub- ject, and it is unnecessary to here discuss the particular conditions that cause the malady or aid its progre: In the ad- vanced stages of tuberculosis the milk b: comes unnatural in appearance, but in the early stages, sometimes even before the udder is affected, it may contain the spe- c‘fic germs, called bacilli tuberculosi: Transmission of Diphtheria. Diphtheria may similarly be transmitted from the cow to the milk consumer, and the same seems to be true of scarlet fever, or a closely allied disease. Foot and mouth diseases and anthrax are some of the oth- ers that may infect the milk. It is fortu- nate that when the animal is affected with some of these dangerous diseases the milk flow stops. Milk may be the means of conveying to the consumer germs of diseases from other persons. For example, if any of the at- tendants have a contagious disease, or are’ at any time exposed to such, the air about them and their surroundings is more or less infected, and the germs may get into the milk in many ways. The most important diseases whose germs enter the milk from external sources are typhoid fever, diphtheria, scarlet fever, cholera and tuberculosis. Numerous out- breaks of typhoid fever have been reported where there was no doubt about the milk supply being the carrier of the germs, they having gained entrance to it from external sources, such as infected water or a person who had nursed or been exposed otherwise to a typhoid fever patient. Outbreaks of diprtheria have been traced to milk from farms where diphtheria was known to ex- ist In the families of the attendants. The same is reported of scarlet fever and chol- era. found on in Influence of Food. The influence of food upon the quality of milk is the subject which has received much attention. Foods undoubtedly have some effect on the quality of miik pro- duced, but it is not as marked as supposed by many. The breeding individuality of the cow is of great importance. Slight va- riations in composition are cau by a sudden change of feed, and milk rendered grecable ating turnips, onions, rag weed or other y : ‘ows supply mest of the dirt to milk, s any one will admit if he is at all famil- iar with the conditions in many stab It is not uncommon to see cows covere with so much dust that the color of their backs cannot be seen: their flanks, hip and sides are sometimes plastered with layers of manure. When the work of cleaning the cows is neglected it is impossible to keep milk even decently clean when milking. Large lum; of dirt, hairs and straws are continually falling iato the pail. The hairy coat is an excetient harbor for dirt and bacteria, and «very time anything touches the skin, or the udder or surrounding parts are dis- turbed, a shower is precipitated. As more or less violent motion always occurs at milking, the loosely adhering particles are easily dislodged just at a time when the milk pail is in a position te collect them. Attendants Contribute. Untidy attendants constitute another source from which milk is contaminated. They frequently turn from cleaning the horses or other equally dirty work to milk- ing the cows, with no thought of their un- fitness to handle milk. On some farms milking is regarded as the dirtiest of all work, and the milkers prepare for it ac- cordingly. Dust adheres to the milker's clothes. almost as readily as to the cow’s coat, and it easily falls from his shoulders and sleeves into the pail; his hands and finger nails also contribute a share to the contamination. Thus he may be the means of conveying to the milk as many Kinds of germs as fall from the cow, and in addition to these he may transmit hu- man diseases, as referred to above. Air is a source of germs found in milk. It is not a medium capable of supporting bacteria by itself, but it carries more or less of small particles of dust and organic matter in suspeasion, and these have many bacteria in and upon them. On account of the dust constantly being raised the num- ber of organisms in the air of a stable may be considerable, especially if dry feed stuffs are used’ and the manure is allowed to become dry on the floor. Over 100 different kinds of organisms have Leen found in a single quart of stable air. These do not increase much in numbers while floating about, but they quickly com- mence a vigorous growth when they fall into fresh, warm milk. As dust is con- stantly tending to settle, the largest num- ber of bacteria is to be found near the ficor, and a vast number may fall into @ milk pail or can in a very short time. Contamination from attendants may be easily avoided. A dairyman should know the condition of health of every employe connected with his dairy and of all the members of their households. If at any time a contagious disease appears the pa- tient should be excluded from the dairy premises and all communication between the houss and dairy should cease until the danger is past. The same care should be taken to keep any person who has been exposed 20 a contagious disease away from the milk. Sickness of this character ought always to be reported where the milk ts sold. Those working in a dairy should not enter a house where there has been a con- tegious disease until it has been properly disinfected. Perronal Cleanliness. The personal cleanliness of the attend- ants is often neglected. They should be clean in appearance and in habits. Clothes and hands require special attention. Outer garments, used for dairy work only, should be worn and cleaned often. If a separate suit is kept for milking and is hung in the stable and never aired, it looks und smells badly and is soon worse than the Many Men and Women Have Met Disaster, Because they Neglected to Do So. “It tg a wonder people lve as long as they do.” said a leading physician whfle conversing with ewapaper friends recently. ~ that fs taken contains polson. se small they cannot be seen by the are drawn into the lungs, the throat, the stomach, und while many of them die, thousands of the live and feed upon the body and cause what is called disease.

Some recommend washir the hands after each cow is milked; ne lect of this has resulted in unconsciously carrying a disease, such as inflamma of the udder, to ‘sound animals. Care must be taken not to let the hands touch the milk, as the skin always has more ot less excretions on it, and these help tc contaminate the milk. The hands should be kept dry, and if there are any sores they must be carefully covered before milk- ing.

Experiments conducted by private ente! prise seem to show that even the stroz odor of garlic, which gives so much trou ble and causes great losses in certain di tricts every spring and fall, can be en- tirely rerroved by heating milk and aerat- ing it while hot. It is explained that the volatile oil, carrying the disagreeable is liberated by heat and carried away by the fresh air. This process necessitates the pasteurization of the milk, which is far less objectionable than having a gar flavor in the batter, snd may even be ben: ficial to the produc Much taint can be prevented by cleanli- The so-called “animal” : is generally to be attribu to natural milk, but to the the cow from which it is ts the unclean person who doc or to filthy surroundings where ing is done.

A large proportion of the m‘lk delivered to factories is first held on a farm from twelve to twenty-four hours, and some- times two or three days, and the condi- tions under which it is stored during this time have an important influence on its quality. Low temperature does not kill bacteria; it only renders them torpid and they regain their activity as soon as the are again surrounded by warmth; th fere it is as necessary to hold the milk at a low temperature as to cool it in the first place.

Lieut. Packmann and Janke testified in tupport of Dr. Peters. Herr Bebel, the socialist leader, on March 13 of last year created a great sensation in the reichstag by accusing Dr. Peters of hanging the negro and negress without trial to the nearest tree because they had taken a fancy to each Cther, of which Dr. Peters disapproved. Subsequent to this statement the lish Bishop Tucker, in East Afri clined to receive Dr. Peters, saying that he would have nothing to do with a murderer. Dr. Peters thereupon wrote to the bishor that he was married to the negress accord- ing to the African custom, and therefore had a right to put her to death for un- faithfulness. Dr. Kayser, director of the colonial de- partment, replying to Herr Bebel in the reichstag on the occasion referred to, ex: doubts whether African travelers and explorers could be judged according to European standards.
