OF INTEREST TO LIVE STOCK
RAISERS.

The following article is from the To-
peka. Kan, Capital, and is of interest
to fine cattle raisers:
AT the last meeting of the Live Stock
Sanitary Board it was decided to quar-
antine against infected cattle from all
Of the northwestern dairy states, par
ticularly Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Mich
igan, Ohio, New York and Pennsylva-
mia. While this course was decided
upon, the formal proclamation will not
be made until the next meeting of the
board on July 6.
Members of the board Justify their
action on the ground of both prudence
and reciprocity. Iowa and Illinois
have been specially rigid in quarantin-
ing against Kansas cattle. Recent de-
velopments show that tuberculosis is
much more prevalent in those two
states than in Kansas. The infection
is more common among stock that is
kept confined than among range cattle.
NJ. G. Campbell of Wichita. chairman
of the Kansas board, was in Illinois
and witnessed the experiments made
by state experts on several herds of
N"bbiS ~ NhlNdSO anu IIlRlD. IL was
shown at Elgin that thirty-three per
cent of the cattle were infected with
tuberculosis. He describes Governor
Tanner as appalled, at the disclosure.
Elgin controls the butter market of the
world. The condition is almost as SER
ious in Iowa and Indiana, and applies
In measure to all the northeastern
dairy states
The quarantine will affect only cattle
for dairy and breeding purposes, as the
beef in those states is consigned to the
Chicago market rather than to Kansas
City. 1t will apply to all cattle not ac-
companied by certificate showing
they have been tested with tuberculin
and found free from tuberculosis.
The board deferred ratification of the
decision reached to-day until the next
meeting in order to have a copy of the
Illinois quarantine proclamation. No
tice of the Illinois quarantine was sent
this week by c. =. johnson, secretary
of the Illinois Live Stock Board.
