The hearing on the tuberculosis bill was brought to a close Wednesday last, much to the relief of the agricultural committee. This hearing has been long and at times a tedious ore, but whatever may be said of it, whatever the committee may do with the bill farmers and the public generally have been greatlyenlightened upon the all im portant subject; ' their eyes have been opened to the dangers that threaten the ; injudicious breeder and feeder of dairy cattle. Hereafter more attention will be given to the proper sanitary con dition of stables, and more or less out door exercise will probably be thought advisable, even if the barn temperature does go below 50, or the cows drop off a little in the milk yield. During the agitation of this question in this state,an intelligent observer cannot help- being struck with the false ideas put forward by those who ought to know better. I Prejudice, too, has marked the statements of many witnesses. All will admit the great good , this hearing has accomplished, and I - for one regret that the lawyers employed by the breed ers and dairymen should nave been so persistent in obstructing the progress of the hearing.) The one potent factor in the intense opposition shown by the farmers generally is the belief that the bill was got up solely for the enrich ment of a few veterinarians and medical men. if the public 1 statements or the leading proponents of this bill are worth anything, they show a true motive on their part for pushing forward the bill, and that its framers have acted upon conscientious belief, in - the dangers threatening both human and animal life from this disease. Your correspondent from this state, B. Keach, very clearly defined the position, of the advocates of the bill, and I believe that if he or any other in telligent person will take the time to hunt up evidence for and against these points, he will find a preponderance of evidence in the affirmative. 1 Who will for a moment doubt ; the exact analogy of human and bovine consumption ; that the latter is on the increase and that It is contagious ; that the milk and meat of diseasea animai may oe ana orten are contaminated by this disease ; that the sale and use 01 soon is dangerous to the public health: that the prosperity of the dairy interest is imperiled by existing con ditions, which affect all owners of cows and consumers or dairy prodncts 1 I believe that the weight of evidence as given by the careful experimenters shows Koch's tuberculin when properly prepared, and properly - used under proper conditions to be next to infallible the detection of tuberculosis, but also believe that conditions are not yet ready for ' its compulsory use. The general run of veterinarians don't know now it should be nsed, and the ultimate effect of its use in healthy animals is as yet undecided ; for the reports of differ ent ones are too varied to form any just : conclusion. As to the statements of V 90, 94 BANK ST., NOTICE ' You can get your Bicycles, Sewing Ma chines and in fact any kind of Machinery re paired; also agents tor the best wind mill known, tor pumpipg, grinding, sawing wood, etc. Circular Saw Mill, Engines, Boilera and every kind of Machine you want. Circular and Scroll Sawing, Planing, and Turning to order. Farm Implements ot all binds at L. J. ALLEN & SON., (Successors to Capowell M'fg Co). Woodbury, Ct the opponents as given by Mr Keach, I think the opponents unwise when they attempt to maintain that tuberculin produces the disease; and when they declare that a microscopic test of the milk of suspected animals is sure and safe, they fall far short of the truth. It is quite astonishing to And such papers as the Connecticut Farmer ana JSew .ngiana Homestead giving consent to this and other statements of similar absurdity. The closing argument of the opponent lawyer, Cole, was a very long and able one. vTDiie a numoer of nis statements could be controverted, he did advance some strong arguments against this par ticular bill. Mr Cole maintained that the attempt to destroy or stamp out this disease by nipping off, as it were, the heads of all the germs is an attempt in tne wrovg direction, lie says that, as these germs will not grow unless f up piiea with suitable sou upon which to live, they do not and cannot live in per fectly healthy tissue; therefore we must strive so to breed and care for our cattle, giving tnem tne best 01 food and water, plenty of pure fresh air and proper exer cise, that they will at all times be in a sound state of health and able to throw off this disease germ. Thus by killing off the badly diseased animals, and as sisting the others to overcome the dis ease, it will soon be stamped out. The advice as to maintaining animals in sound health is orthodox to the letter, Dut whether by so doing we can rid our selves of the disease even after manv years of fuch practice, withrut any more raaicai measure at once, is a ques tion oeuer answered oy 1 note of more practical experience with contagious germ aisrases than tar cole. That the state needs more method of systematic inspection of our dairy herds, goes without saying. Many a farmer keeps bis cows in a most filthy condition, while others at greater expense keep theirs as clean as tbey do their horses, and yet the milk from all goes to prac tically the same market, and commands tbe same price. I trust that the agricul tural committee will favorably report some measure whereby a beginning will be made in some such systematic inspec tion. It need not be very expensive to the state at first, and yet it would do much toward improving tbe general con dition of our dairy herds, as well as give the state some correct basis upon which to calculate tbe amount of health and disease in the herds, and so it could more readily determine tbe necessity for any such action as the proposed bill contemplates. In tbe meantime, ex periments will undoubtedly demonstrate tne exact virtue in tuberculin or any other newly discovered diagnostic. Theo. A. Stanley in Country Gentlem an. WABTS. Better times. Better roads. Better mails. Better schools. Better farming. More equal taxes. More money and less misery. Money for the millions, as well as for the millionaires. More of the "Golden EuIp," and not so much of the rule of gold. We want them all for the benefit of agriculture and of our whole country. If we cannot get them all at once, let us get what we can, as soon as we can. Any of the nine wants which we can get will help us gee all the rest. More equal taxes will relieve the farm of unfair burdens, and leave more of its income for better farming. All citizens paying tbeir equal shares of taxes, will easier pay for good roads. With good roads we can have free delivery of rural mails and better schools. More money and the "tiolden Kule"will give better times better prices for farm products, better wages to tbe toiler, and more individual happiness, wnicn depends upon general prosperity. When we get the good roads it will be easier to carry the mails out through the rural districts. Then we can have fewer schools. The same persons who carry the mail can convey the children to the good graded and high schools, and the expense will be no greater than now in keeping up a number of small schools, paying many teachers small wages, repairs of bui dings, fuel, etc. We are getting the good roads in New Jersey. Tbe State pays one-third, the county one-third and the property along the road one-third. And we have the law for better- schools, end carrying the children to and from tbe school. It is good to be thinking and talking over these wants. "Be sure you are right then go ahead" on the good road to better education, better farming, bet ter times, and real prosperity and hap piness. Mortimer Whitehead in Farm Journal. MUSTT HAT. What effect would bad musty bay have on tne mllK by reeding equal weights of cob meal and brari? B. D , Clayton, N. mere appears to be wide difference of opinion as to tbe influence of tbe food on tbe flavor of milk and butter. Tbe old and more common yiew is that when an animal eats turnips, onions, bad ensilage or poorly cured hay, the odors or flavors of these materials are imparted to tbe milk. Lately, tbe opinion prevails to some extent that tbe po-called "animal odor" ia communicated to th) milk from tbe foul smells of the tie-up at tbe time it is drawn, and in a similar way, the flavor of turnips, is absorbed from the air of the stable where the food has been handled. According to this view, if milk could be drawn so as not to come into contact with the air of the stable, no HOOD'S PILLS cure liver Ills, Biliousness, Indigestion, Headache. A pleasant laxative.

It is entirely probable that the odors from impure air are often taken op by milk and afterwards credited to the food, but we are not prepared to declare that flavors are imparted in no other way. We are inclined to think, however, that tbe accidental flavors of milk are largely due to influences extraneous to tbe cow, unless Bhe is diseased. It is wise, of course, to avoid such bay as that describ ed, but if this were on band and circum stances seemed to require its use, we would not despair ot making a good quality of butter. Tbis bay can be made palatable by moistening it, and then scat tering all or a portion of the grain on it, and then if pains are taken to keep tbe cows clean, tbe stable sweet, and tbe milk out of contact with odors of any kind, even an expert Diight fail to find the musty hay in the butter.
