Her. were the early rising rules
Hers were the eyes Of wifely toll
The smtten prairie blossoms fair,
The sod home faded from the scene,
Firm gables met the whispering air,
Deep porches lent reposs serene.

ed. Pond had no room to keep the
animals segregated and he was afraid
to keep them at his dairy, as the milk
from the diseased animals might get
mixed with the pure milk.
Pond offered the animals to the o. r.

that they were tubercular and must be
segregated. He did not ask for the
full value OF the cows. the price being
fixed at what they were worth as beef.

then informed DR.. Norgaard of the
sale and then his trouble started.
DR.. Norgaard states that under the
famous Danish methods cattle af.
fected with tuberculosis are not killed
except in extreme cases. The diseased
cows are segregated and can be used
for breeding purposes while their milk
can be used for butter. On the other
hand II is extremely important that
the authorities know where such ami.

County Attorney Douthitt stated
after the consultation with the Gov.

prosecute Pond or not. He intended
20 consult DR.. Norgaard and the Board
Of Health first. Pond he said was un
doubtedly guilty of an inexcusabe in
