TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
How the Efforts of the Agricultural
Department VIII BE Directed.

AS n result OF a conference between the
President and the Secretary of Agriculture
the appropriation for the determination OF
tuberculosis in cattle will be expended by
DR.. Salmon. chief OF the bureau of animal
industry, in such a manner to furnish
useful and practical information 10 the
public concerning the disease and the best
methods Of treatment. IL is stated that the
department will not buy cattle and slauGh-
ter them. in the past. in order to prevent
the spread OF the disease. but instead will
make scientific Investigations and furnish
the results TO state officials and the pubic.
The department Will continue 10 supply
boards OF health and other state authorities
with tuberculin-a preparation used 10 de-
termine the existence of the disease.
The practical work of the bureau for the
eradication Of the contagion. and all the
principal experiments in connection there
with. will be conducted in the District OF
Columbia, where the federal Jurisdiction Is
supreme. Dr. Salmon has made a state
ment in regard to the matter. in which he
says:
I'VE shall go outside the District for the
purpose of making Investigations only
where there are doubts or differences OF
opinion as to the disease For example.
there was a panic at Williamstown, Mass
the other day. They killed 500 or more
sheep and a lot of chickens. sCpposing that
they had tuberculosis. but we could not
find any. There were symptoms of a para
site disease OF a local character. but Moth
ing serious and We were glad to be OF serv-
ice to the local authorities in determining
this fact.
In the District of Columbia, where there
is no local government. We shall make a
thorough investigation. We want particu-
larry TO ascertain what proportion OF cattle
are affected with or subject to tuberculosis
We are pretty sure that not less than 3 and
perhaps as many as 20 per cent Of milch
cows are suffering from IL, but we want 70
get down a little closer and be a little more
accurate than that.
We shall also conduct some experiment tai
Investigation TO determine the best methods
of getting rid OF the disease, so as to fur
nish Congress, the authorities of the several
states and the public generally with in
formation as to what sort of treatment is
the best, how to apply IL. what II will cost,
etc. The result. j hope will be that the dis

boarded the next east-bound train. and has

this place and near neiShbor OF the Beans

and market load for the city the same day
and has not been seen since. The fact that
with the truant wife went also many small
household effects and all the available cash
in hand, and also that Sherrer carried with
him his bank book and all other valuable
documents belonging to the family. indicate
an elopement. Rumor has 1t that an I'M

between the neighbors. unobserved by the
community. Sherrer leaves a wife that Is
highly respected by all her neighbors as a

Bean is a respected and worthy citizen and
has the sympathy of the community.
