bacilli in 1882, thereby proving tuber-
culosis to be contagious disease, has
again starJled Lne scieI+'fc world III
a paper which he read before the tub
erculosis congress in London, last July,
he made the statement that he had
satisfied his own mind that tubercu-
losis was not communicable from man
that it was communicable from ami
NAL to man. Scientists in other parts
of the world either disagree with DR.
Koch openly or at least say that the
statement made by him is theory,
the truth of which has not yet been
demonstrated. While DR. Koch's state
ment seems too good to be true, still
his world wide reputation as bacter-
iologist entities his opinion to a res
pectful consideration and proves to
the timid consumer that the free in
diligence in milk, butter, cheese and
beef is attended with very, very little,
if any, danger Of contracting tubercu-
losis. While it is still an unsettled
question if tuberculosis is reciprocally
infectious between men and animals,
all scientists are agreed: First, that
human tuberculosis is tranSmiSSa BILE
from one person to another; and
second, that bovine tuberculosis is
transmisSable from one animal to
another. There is, then, absolutely
no reason why any farmer or cattle
owner should not continue to wage a
relentless warfare of determination Of
| the disease when once he finds he has
it in his herd, and every man whose
herd is free from contagion should per-
sist in those simple precautionary
measures which will almost surely in,
sure continued freedom from the dread
scourge. The people of this state
have too much capital invested in theil
cattle to treat this matter lightly.
The records of this department fol
the past six years warrant the com
missioner in making the broad state
ment that probably no town in the
state is absolutely free from bovine
tuberculosis. If cattle housed in dark
damp, filthy stables are free from the
disease they will undoubtedly continue
so until the disease is brought in from
outside, but if by purchase tubercu
lous animal is placed in herd in sucf
an environment the spread of the dis
ease is just as sure to follow as the har
vest is sure to follow the sowing of thu
seed.
SYMPTOMS OF BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
tuberculosis is AN insidious diseas
frequently existing in the advanced
stages without marked or pronounced
symptoms by means of which it's pres
ence in the animal can be surely dag
nosed. There are, however, certaiI
conditions and symptoms that the care
full and watchful owner should lool
upon with suspicion as tingerboar'
pointing towards tuberculosis.
Loss of appetite or a sudden shink
ing Of the flow of milk are not typ
cal symptoms of tuberculosis. Th
noticeable symptoms are as follows
Chronic cough, general unthriftiness

REV MR. BECKER RESIGNS.
Your correspondent is called to men,
ton, this week, the fact of Rev N. S.
Becker's resignation as pastor here, at
the close of last Sunday mornings SER
vice. His resignation will deprive this
church after April.1, Of regular pas
tor. The circumstances which have
led up to this step by Mr. Becker date
back at least year, but nothing pub
licly said till the annual meeting Of the
Ecclesiastical society, December 30.
Since that time Mr. Becker has had the
matter under serious consideration,
and the action Of last Sunday morn
ing is the result. The writer is not
aware that Mr. Becker has any parish
in view, but sincerely hope he will find
and occupy in future, one where his
spiritual efforts will be greatly more
successful and satisfactory than posi-
BILE here. Mr. Becker came here as can
didate in January, 1900, and so accept
ably did he preach for two Sundays
that vote was soon taken by the
Ecclesiastical society, asking him to
come as our pastor, to which he res
pended with his presence and that OF
his wife and child the following month
and since that time he has most faith
fully supplied the pulpit, not having
even exchanged once with neighbor
ing minister. His sermons have beer
we'll written and delivered with more
than the average earnestness and ap
plicatiOn.

The following cattle have been re-

been brought into the state: Cows,

bulls 4S; calves, 142. Total, 1888.
OF the 217 cattle condemned during
the year Is were found in Is herds
where tuberculous cattle were found
the previous year. AS nearly all of the
owners of these herds are intelligent
men who fully realize the gravity OF
the situation they are taking extra
precautions against the further raw
ages of the disease, and their efforts
will eventually meet with success.
More windows to admit the sunlight
into the stables, more whitewashed
walls and ceilings to reflect the light
into all parts of the stables, more Gu
bic feet of air per COW, and more clean
illness to purify the air, will do more
to make a herd of COWS healthy and
profitable than all the patent feeds
and patent medicines in the market.
