the Board OF Cattle Commissioners in
testing, ETC., are paid by the state, and
not by the farmers whose cattle are
tested, except in their capacity Of tax
payers. The tuberculin is furnished
by the q. S. government, without cost
to the state. The only Gloss that can
possibly fall on farmers is the ques-
tionablc loss Of receiving half value for
cattle that are practically worthless.
The tuberculosis law is all right and
its execution is, happily, in the
hands Of intelligent farmers who are
performing their work in manner
highly creditable to themselves and
entirely satisfactory to the farmers
and the public. No one rejoices more
than the members Of the Board that
tuberculosis is not SO prevalent as many
at first feared. The time to stamp it
out is at its inception and this tie
Board is doing. Give it your en-
couragement, brethren, or at least tell
the truth about it.
