Brucellosis has to go, says C. M.
Patterson ext. veterinarian
Livestock raising is a gamble at
best. But animals with brucellosis
are like crooked dice—your only
profit is experience.
Infected cattle suffer a 20_per
cent reduction in milk produc-
tion. They calve on the average
cf once every year-and-a-half
rather than once a year. In ad-
dition, the resulting ^abortions,
sterility and difficult breeders in-
crease replacement needs by 30
percent.
Whether you are a producer of
milk or beef .these losses apply
"to you. A beef cow that loses 20
percent of her milk production
will wean a calf 10 percent light-
er than normal.
Human cases of brucellosis are
being diagnosed with increasing
frequency among persons handling
livestock or drinking unpasturized
milk.
This adds up to only one con-
clusion: Brucellosis Has To Go.
What Is Brucellosis? Brucellosis
is a contagious diease of animals
and man caused by a bacterial
agent. In cattle, it has been call-
ed Bang's disease and contagious
abortion. In swine it also is re-
ferred to as contagious abortion.
It sometimes is referred to as
undulant fever in man.
In cattle and milk goats, bru-
cellosis localizes in the reproduc-
tive tract and interferes with
normal reproduction. In addition,
the disease affects the mammary
glands and reduces milk produc-

Repairs made on
cemetery road
The paved road to the Claude"
Cemetery has been cracking pretty
badly and was needing attention.
Last week Commissioner Bland
Alexander got a grew together
and spent about a week sealing
cracks and repairing. The city
was good enough to loan them
their asphalt pot and equipment
to do the job.
The pavement to the cemetery
was built by the county, the city
the Cemetery Association and
folks helping out in the project
and occasionally needs attention.
This is the only pavement in the
county that has to be maintained
by the county.

Boy's Ranch

todd thinks...
Each one of us has his or her
own favorite Christmas Carol, just
as one young bride prefers "I Love
You Truly" at her wedding, while
another would not think of hav-
ing any other love song than "Al-
ways" and another, "Because."
"Silent Night" is one of the
first of Christmas Carols with
many. It was written around 140
years ago in Aberndorf, Austria.
Like many other things that
mean so very much to us, it came
by way of an accident. It hap-
