DISEASED CATTLE KILLED.

Animate mt Kansas Agricultural College In
hicted with tuberculosis Publicly Siaugh'
tered.
MANHATTAN, Kan, OCT 2l.-Aston.
ishing disclosures Of the prevalence OF
tuberculosis among the cattle OF Kan
sas were made by experts In the pres
ence of 1000 people Mt the Kansas
state agricultural college yesterday,
Tests were made by Dr. Law, professor
Of Veterinary science in Cornell uni
versity, and T. A. Geddeys, special ex'
pert from the bureau OF animal indus
try at Washington. Eight valuable
animals were slaughtered in public and
complete postmortem examinations
made. Every animal was in the adj
vanced stages OF the disease. To-day
six more cattle were killed. The IA
head had responded to the tuberculine
test, and the slaughter Of the animals
in public was to satisfy the people that
the test was absolutely correct.
Prof Law gave farmers and stock.
men valuable hints as he went along,
and urged the Importance OF using the
tuberculine test. Tuberculine Is pre-
pared by the government in the de-
partment of animal industry, and Is
now recognized rs the best diagnostic
agent by animal scientists. Cattle in
fected by tuberculosis will respond to
1t every time by practically immedi-
ute rise in temperature after infection.
The cattle slaughtered to-day, added
to the cattle slaughtered yesterday,
aggregate 81. 1870 in value. The cost OF
disinfecting will amount to ut least
81, 900, in order to put the stables and
pens in proper shape. The meat of the
animals us we'll us the hay and feed,
was publicly burned and the intention
Is to leave no trace whatever OF the
disease in the college. The farmers In
the adjoining counties are very much
excited over the developments, rs their
cattle have been exposed In various
ways to the disease and for all they
know the entire cattle interests Of
three or four counties may be infected.
