Bulletin from the Cattle commissioners.

The board of cattle commissioners have
issued a bulletin on the subject, in which
they say it is impossible TO determine the
source OF the disease, AMI it is believed to
have existed in the herd unsupported for
some time The animals were apparently
in perfect health and gave no outward sign
of the ailment The managers of the sta
ton are commended for their prompt &C
ton. There is no reason to suppose that
the disease is widespread in the state. and
dairymen are cautioned against undue
alarm. Careful investigation leads to the
conclusion that the disease has existed for
a long time among the cattle in all pOr-
tons of the country, and other states have
had to meet and deal with il in the past.
There is no reason to suppose that tuber-
cuoss is more prevalent today than for
years past only we have at this time,
through the discovery of the action of tu-
berculin on infected animals. means of
detecting this disease and, consequently,
means OF purifying our herds, which is
4 step forward rather than an occasion for
regret or fear. 1t is hoped that dairymen
will take no hasty or unwise action in conse-
quence OF the discovery of this disease il
our state, but that they will surround their
animals with the best conditions Of health
possible and watch carefully any indca-
tion OF the disease in their herds and take
means to free themselves from il when
once discovered.
