PROFESSOR BEHRING'S INVESTIGATIONS
OF TUBERCULOSIS

PROFESSOR BEHRlNGS INVESTIGATIONS
OF TUBERCULOSIS.
Berlin, April 3O-Advance sheets of Professor
Behring's forthcoming book on tuberculosis in
cattle were available here to-day. From these
sheets 1t is seen that in his book the professor
details the results OF six years investiga tons
at Harburg. where he assisted by Drs.
Ruppe and Roemer.
Professor Behrng affirms that tuberculosis in
and cattle is prOpagated by identical baCilli,
and that the seeming differences between the
human and tho cattle bacilli result from the
capacity Of the baCilli to accommodate them
selves to the organism in which they live. The
writer explains the process by which he reaches
the conclusion that. chemically and physiologi-
cally. the tubercle bacilli in man and cattle are
OF the same species
Professor Behring says he has successfully In
fected cattle with virus from humans, producing
thereby fatal animal tuberculosis. He also says
he has discovered a method to render cattle
immune against tuberculosis which is done by
vaccnatinE the cattle when they are young.
This ne declares 20 be his greatest discovery.
and says the method Is in use on farms at Har-
burg He alluded to his method OF inoculattng
cattle in his speech at Stockholm, when he was
awarded of the Nobel prizes.

who do not care to have their names used admit
that Illegal fencing of public land in this State

There is probably not a cattle man in the State

Last winter the government prosecuted Addison
D. Spaugh a wealthy cattleman OF Meanwhile

The removal of thousands OF miles of wire fence
from the public range will not throw much more
desirable land open to settlement, because almost
all of the desirable land along the streams has
