TO conclude. therefore. that there is nc

who favor corn and milk generally
have the separator milk from n cream

feeder without that advantage could
not very well accept the statement as

a great abundance of home-raised

low price. and the hog is necessary to

A Word to breeders.

Cattle breeders will do well TO take
the bull by the horns and test III
their herds for tuberculosis. There
are but few herds that are free from
it, and the sooner we rid the herds of
any diseased animals the better. so
that we can warrant every animal sold
as free. sound and healthy, whether
for breeding, for milk or for meat.
We urge breeders to take up this mat
ter promptly. and no longer ignore the
important issue. Ask the state vet
erinarian or your local assistant state
veterinarian 10 test the herd and learn
the condition OF every animal in the
herd. The state institutions that have
had their herds examined have found
many animals affected, and 1t be-
hooves every breeder to know what
he has in this line, kill out the affected
animals and start with sound, healthy
stock. Every month we delay 1t we in
crease the per cent Of loss.
Breeders Of pedigree cattle who ap-
ply the tuberculin test to every animal
in the herd and Kill out the affected
animals and warrant every animal
sold from the herd to he free from tn
berculosis will sell at better prices in
the future. This heroic test requires
courage in the breeder. but buyers of
pure bred cattle will demand this
guarantee from breeders.
