State Veterinarian Knowles of Mon
tana says: "Unscrupulous pure blood
cattle dealers in the east have and are
now trying to unload tuberculosis cattle
on Montana buyers. In fact several
purchasers secured eastern pure blood
stuff that on testing here with tubercu'
line has proven without question to be
tuberculosis and in many casee 1870 o.
the cattle reacted to the tuberculine.
c. E. Trask: would like to get ;
count On some of those sheepmen Wit
u that they have raised sucl
large percentages of lambs this year
There may be some exceptions, Blu
during those hard rains l don't see how
the average grower could help losin,
heavily. l have been in the bushes
some time and 1 know that l lost
good many lambs.
