TUBERCULIN TEST

The following ruling made during
September by DR.. Austin Peters, chief
of the Massachusetts cattle bureau,
is of especial interest to Vermont
farmers and more so to the members
of the General Assembly who are
wrestling with the question of tuber-
culosis.
After September 30, 1902. all cattle
brought to the quarantine stations
at Brighton, Watertown and Somerville
from outside the limits of this COM
monwealth, except beeves for immedi-
ate slaughter or calves under six
months old, will 'be held and tested
with tuberculin by the agent in charge
of the stations, at the stock barn at
Brighton. Animals believed to be
diseased after being tested, will be
killed, unless the owner wishes to
ship them back to the place from
whence they came. If it seems nee
essary to test any cattle brought to
these stations supposed to be Massachu-
setts cattle, i'll order to determine
whether they are free from disease or
not the agent of the cattle bureau in
charge of the yards will do so.

NOT TRANSMILTIBLE

AS the farmers of the General AS
sembly meet Wednesday to discuss the
tuberculosis question the Journal pre-
sents the statement of Professor Koch
given in Berlin on Saturday, before
the International tuberculosis Con-
gress, to the effect that he does not
believe that bovine tuberculosis is
transferable to man, During his re-
marks Dr. Koch declared that he had
personal knowledge of but two cases
of alleged infection and that these two
were not proven.
DR.. Koch said. "If infection is so
frequent through milk, positive proof
of this ought to be obtainable. In
view of the quantity of tuberculous
meat eaten and the rarity of intestinal
tuberculosis the question must be
asked why general infection is not
more frequent. Taking butchers for
an example DR.. Koch said, that al
though they handled meat exclusively
the percentage of tuberculosis among
them was not greater than among
Carpenters. He ,oefered to diff rant
cases that had come to his attention
and was very emphatic in his state
ment that he did not believe that there
was or could be such thing as gen
eral infection of tuberculosis from
the bovine to the human family.
These statements of Dr. Koch are
timely as three-quarters of the discus
sion thus far INDUCED in at the
several farmers meetings has been up
on this question, and many have quoted
DIR. Koch as believing in the trans
mission of the disease from cattle to
human beings, while others have taken
the stand that he did not so believe
