The French government has recently
issued a decree that will affect all ship
pers OF cattle 70 that country, the order
being In effect that no cattle can be i'm
ported and retained unless they have
been tested on the frontier BY the tu-
berculln test and found free Of tuber-
eulosis. This measure has become i'm
perative owing to the prevalence Of the
above disease among bovine stocks. the
serious loss that has resulted 10 stock
owners, and the menace 10 public
health. The order particularly Affects
the Import Of British breeding stock
In the past few years a syndicate Of
French breeders Of shorthorns has.

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 AZ the
shows OF the Royal Agricultural So

latlon Of the French government the
