Of all animals, the rat is the most voracious destroyer of agriâ€" cultural products, and no branch of agriculture is more open to attack by rats than the poultry industry.

Killing rats is helpful, but ratâ€"proofing is more important. Even with the best known means of destruction, hunjing, trapping, gassing, and Foison. some rats esâ€" eape, and unless there is effective ratâ€"proofing in the poultry house and all other farm buildings they come back.

Notice To Creditors Animal Diseases Which Affect Man From as far back as the days of the ancient cave man, who conâ€" tracted deadly anthrax from wearâ€" ing the skins of wild animals, meâ€" dical and veterinary science reveal numerous diseases which both aniâ€" mals and man share in common. The germs of Bang‘s disease may cause undulant or Malta fever in man; erysipeloid(not to be confused with human erysipelas) may be transmitted to man through swine erysipelas; "food poisoning" diseasâ€" es result from eating uninspected or diseased meat or from milk from cows suffering from mastitis; trichinosis is sometimes contracted by man through eating raw or parâ€" tially cooked pork which contains the trichina parasite occasionally found in swine; sleeping sickness in horses may infect man with a similar type of disease, and the highly contagious and deadly anâ€" thrax may be passed on to man through contact with the carcasses of animals which have died of that disease or from contact with the germs wherever they may be. In combating these diseases, vetâ€" erinary science has made great strides but perhaps one of the greatest victories of the veterinarâ€" ian in protecting mankind from disease is the achievement in Canâ€" ada during the past 25 years in curbing bovine tuberculosis, Beâ€" fore this nationâ€"wide campaign was instituted, the nonâ€"pulmonary type of human tuberculosis transâ€" mitted to human beings through the milk of tuberculous cows, was the cause of a heavy death toll. Toâ€"day this type of tuberculosis is rerely seen in hospitais But the fight is not over. There may still be residual bovine infection in some areas. Cattle must still be tested to prevent a recurrence of ‘this disease, and to maintain what has proved to be a great contributâ€" ing factor to the health of the naâ€" tion. The control of bovine tuberâ€" culosis is a great" triumphâ€"but ‘never ending fightâ€"to Canadian veterinarians and veterinary authorities as represented by the Health of Animals Division, Domâ€" inion Department of Agriculture, because in years gone by they had to fight apathy which was general. Producers of honey, maple syrup, maple sugar, and maple butter in Canada do not require to send couâ€" pons to the focal Rationing Board to cover home consumption of any of these products, and they may use the coupons to purchase any of the other preserves. A butter proâ€" ducer, however, who uses his own product is re?;x:red to send in butâ€" ter coupons m his ration book and those of his family as the couâ€" pons become due each month. Notice is hereby given that all Dated at Kitchener this 8th day FARM BUTTER COUPONS shall not then have received late of Resazurin Test For Milk Quality _ One objection to the use of the methylene blue test is that as the lqnah’ty of a milk supply improves, the time required to complete the ‘test stretches to the point where it runs far beyond the ordinary working hours. Consequently there has been increasing interest in a \tcst which would yield similar inâ€" fowmation in much less time. Such a test has been found. It makes use of a dye called resazurin, which gradually changes from the originâ€" al blue shade through various shades of purple and mauve to There are now few areas in Canâ€" ada which do not have a milk supâ€" ply better than wasâ€"current twen ty years ago. Much of this imâ€" provement can be attributed to two mii:‘t;«;i first, research whicl; bl:s po out the importance 0; â€" terial conumingluon from unâ€" sterilized utensils, and second, to the development and use of simple bacteriological tests for milk quaâ€" lity. One of these, the methylene blue test, has been widely used in Canada by health departments and milk plants In this test, a small amount of the dye methylene blue is added to the milk. The bacteria growing in the milk when incubatâ€" ed at body temperature cause the blue color to disappear; the more bacteria present, the sooner the milk decolorizes.
