Of the farmers institute is larger
than that of yesterday and the talks
given by the Pullman Agricultural
college experts were very interesting.
DR.. S. B. Nelson, veterinary at the
college, gave an account of expert
ments he is carrying on with tuber-
culous cattle and the policy of the
state authorities in getting control
of the disease. There is considerable
tuberculosis in Washington cattle,
but the officials are not doing any
wholesale slaughtering and are taking
measures to prevent it's spread. Near
ly all of 1t is confined to herds where
imported stock is factor, the grades
not being as liable to attack as are
the pure breeds.
Interesting statements made dur

cattle are imported, tuberculosis does
not exist; neither does it in China
where milk is not used; but among
the North American Indian, who in
his natural state eats cattle meat In
any condition of hygiene, the disease
is rampant. Physicians have practi.

talk treating eXhaustively of the eff

described infinitely the pests that the

the whole matter of care of orchards

well adapted to the growth and spread
