March of Progress
The famous dunv governor of Wis
consin, William D. Hourd, once said
that the inside of a cow is the daikcst
place m the woild. Here «it the
PenmA’lvanui State College ugucul
tmal expenment station the daily 10-
•.e.ueh woikeis huve perfoimed a
harmless and simple operation on
l’enstate Homestead Jessie, a puie-'
bred 2-vear-old Holstein heifer, to
study what goes on msido hci *'toni
aeh
According to vcteimarians, Jess*e
suffered no inconvenience fiom the
opoiation and there will be no pain
connected with special vitamin re
searches to be enrried on In other
woids, Jessie will continue to be a
contented cow
Expei iments comlucted by Di S I
Bcclulcl. of the station, have shown
that a cow fed a lation deficient m
Vitamin B will pioduce milk contain
ing this dietniy substance, absence
of which in the human diet, causes
beri-ben, a nutritional disease ro
sult’ng in {analysis
“What is the souice of vitamin 9 ’’
the scientists queried. "Can it he
that a cow has the power of using the
bucteua in hci rumen, —the laige
stomach, —to manufacture Vitamin
B'”
So the College asked Di R. S
Amadou, of the University of Penn
sylvania school, to make an opening
into Jessie's stomach lie was assist
ed bv Di, J. F. Shiglc\, the Tenn
State vetinmai lan After the appli
cation of local anaesthetics the lumen
was sewed to the skin of the opening
so the two w ill gi ow togethci When
this has ocemied, in about a week, a
convenient little door will be provid
ed This will peinut the scientist to
icach m and get pait of Jessie’s din
nei This portion then will be air
dncd, Vitamin B will be dissolved
with alcohol, the alcohol evapoiated,
and the lesidue fed to lats m the

well -
It the rats develop the same as
lats receiving Vitamin B in butteifat,
cod liver oil, 01 other foods known to
contain the substance, it will be de
tot mined that Bossie can ically make
hei own Vitamin B.
