We don't see much about any test be-
ing made for tuberculosis in this town,
but we think those who have cows should

Jersey cows, he had them tested, and
all but two of them were condemned,
some being completely permeated with
the disease. 1t is best to be ever on the
alert in this matter, as the consequences
are far too serious If the matter is ne
elected.
