CATTLE DISEASE. On Saturday, 3 inst.
the state veterinarians, of Burlington,
examined that fine Jersey dairy on
the Darling farm, and found rs of 80
COWS affected with the disease know
as pulmo tuberculosis. Two or three
of the cattle were killed at once to
make sure that the information OBJ
tanned from the examination was cor
rect, and the others were condemned
and ordered to be killed on Saturday
of last week, at which time the vete-
rinaries were present again, with 9TH
er veterinaries from other parts. Ell
mer Darling of New York, owner of the
stock farm, had been sent for and was
also present at the time. The COWS
will all be subjects Of post norton
examination, and should it be found
that healthy animal is slaughtered
the owner will receive pay for the
same. At the time of the examina-
ton rs or 80 gallons Of cream were in
cans ready for delivery at the Lyn-
donville Creamery but the cream was
also condemned and thrown away.
Had this surprise and loss fallen upon
one not part owner the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel business, or some other
paying enterprise, it would have stag
gered him and given him a disrelish
of blooded stock and dairy business.
But Mr.. Darling meets the emergency
with courage, telegraphing directions
to make clean job of it and clear the
farm Of every vestige of the disease
His dairy is high grade Jerseys, reg
istered, and among the most valuable
in the state. The alarm has spread
among the farmers in the locality,
and many prominent dairymen are
fearing the presence of the disease in
their herds. But thorough examina-
tions will be made, and wherever
trace of the disease is discovered it
will be got rid of promptly. It's pres
ence thus far has been discovered in
the blooded stock, and seems to be
an imnOrtatiOn Of recent date Union
Sutton.
Mrs. Lewis Holmes has been very
sick but is better.
