Safeguarding Our Milk Supply
One animal disease, mastitis,
takes $100,000,000 out of the
American farmers’ pocket each
year. The loss to dairy farmers
is reflected nation-wide in a
shorter milk supply and higher
prices on all dairy products.
Milk is a basic food, and a short
milk supply is an extremely criti
I cal problem in view of our mount
! ing population. To keep the Amer
ican youngsters of 1975 as well
fed as they are now, it is esti
mated, we’ll need another 10 bil
lion quarts of milk at that time.
Conquering mastitis would do
much to solve this problem.
Teatube-Neomycin, a new treat
ment.. for mastitis is the most
promising drug yet devised to
fight this costly disease.
Mastitis, an inflammation of the
cow’s udder, results from infec
tion by one of four main groups
of bacteria. The new treatment,
it is said, controls all four forms
without irritating the udder.
Developed by The Upjohn Com
pany, Teatube-Neomycin, has been
tested by veterinary schools and
practicing veterinarians through
out the country. One of these
vets, Dr. A. R. Drury, School of
Veterinary Medicine, Michigan
State College, reported that Tea
tube-Neomycin ointment cured
an average of more than 90 per
cent of the animals of mastitis

TONS OF ICE HIT NEW
RAILROAD BRIDGE DAILY
Propelled by tides ranging to
34 feet, five-ton ice floes “blitz
krieg” a newly constructed, con
crete steel bridge on the Alaska
Railroad, twice each day.
The bridge was erected at a
cost of $192,499 and designed as
a link in a new freight main. The
line is used to shuttle freight
trains across Ship Creek and into
the terminal, by-passing the pas
senger depot and general office
building in Anchorage.
Because of the direction of the
creek flow, piers were set ascew
to the bridge, allowing a smooth
flow of water and ice under the
new bridge each day. Under nor
mal conditions there are eleven
and one half feet of clearance
under the bridge trusses and the
mean high tide level. However,
a recent series of 32 to 34 foot
tides sent the ice floes to within
two feet of the main span.
Inlet tidal waters, among the
highest in the world, sent the ice
crunching in under the bridge
twice each day. Work on the
piers and abutments called for
careful timing, because of the
sweeping tides.
The Alaska Railroad is anxious
for the bridge to stay where it
is. As a result the concrete abut
ments and piers were given the
best possible foundation. Welded
steel railpilings, 128 feet long,
