STATE DAIRYMEN
Many Objections Made to Killing Con-
sumptiye Cattle

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. IA. - The
fourth annual convention Of the Califor-
mia Dairy association convened this
morning in the rooms Of the chamber of
commerce. The morning and afternoon
sessions were consumed in the reading
and discussion Of papers upon subjects
concerning the dairy industry, and in
the evening the delegates to the conven-
tion attended the second Farmers in
stitute, held at the Mechanics institute
under the auspices Of the University of
California and the San Francisco Farm
ers' club
The delegates are divided in their
opinions regarding the success Of the
tuberculin test. The consensus of opin-
ion seems to be that 1t is not just to the
owner to kill COW simply because 1t
reacts under the test, and that the better
plan would be to quarantine such cattle
and watch their actions before slaught-
ering them. All are willing that their
cattle should be killed If in tuberculous
condition, but it Is believed by many
dairymen that a perfectly healthy COW
will, under certain conditions, react un-
der the test, while one in an advanced
stage of the disease will hardly show any
signs of reaction.

was such that it was impossible. The

The start in this race was the most
difficult of the day. Alvarado baked a:
the barrier and would not move for
some time. This is one of the hardest
horses to get off in a bunch that has
ever been on the track. During the last
season he was left at the post no less
than eight times. Five trials were
made without result, and Starter Fer

start without Alvarado, as there was
no trouble with any of the others, when

OONALASKA. Sept. 80, via San Fran

it will cut down to Mount ST. Elias.
