aeIlth. The order particularly affects
tho import Of British breeding stock.
In the past few years a syndicate OF
French breeders Of Shorthorns has,
through the aid of the French govern
ment, purchased numbers Of high-bred
Shorthorns In Great Britain with the
object OF improving the cattle Of that
breed In their own country. Among
their purchases have been some of the
best Shorthorn bulls brought out at the
shows OF the Royal Agricultural So
ciety of England. Under the new regu-
lation of the French government the
above syndicate finds it must refuse to
purchase any cattle that will not come
out clear from the tuberculin test. Re.
cent experience under this order brings
out this emphatic refusal, two or three
of the bulls purchased In Great Britain
having proved tuberculous and having
to be destroyed. One OF these was Lord
Polwarth's MISUNDERSTANDING at
the Royal Show at Leicester-and pur-
chased at a price closely approaching
5000. Under the circumstances the de-
cision Of the syndicate Is hardly sur
prising. The example OF the French
government has been followed by the
Canadian-that no cattle shall be i'm
ported into the Dominion unless war
ranted free of tuberculosis as tested by
the tuberculin test.

the defendants mustache. 1t was true
