LAW TO MAKE TESTING OF CAT.
TIE COMPULSORY.
FOR VIGOROUS CAMPAIGN
Animals Must Be Tested Before Sale
Striking Examples of Evils of
the Disease--Centers of Infection
knoWn-PhiIosophy of the Treat
ment.

In order to protect the 100000 dairy
herds of Wisconsin against further
ravages of tuberculosis, a bill has just
been introduced into the legislature
providing for the testing of all cattle
before they are sold. The existing
laws, which make necessary the in
spection of cattle before they are
brought into the state, protect dairy
men and breeders against infection
from outside the state. The proposed
law is designed to afford similar pro-
lection by preventing the spread of
the disease from one herd to another
within the state through the buying
and selling of tubercular cattle. The
provision of the law on this point is
as follows: mo cattle shall be sold
within this state which have not been
tested for tuberculosis within one
year previous to the SALE
Certified copies of the results of
the test, when must be made by rs,
interested persons, are to be filed
with the sanitary live stock board,
and no transfer is to be regarded as
legal until the certificate has been
approved by the board and returned
to the seller. The person" who sells
cattle, the law further provides, shall
deliver to the purchaser an affidavit
stating whether tuberculosis has been
found to exist in his herd within
12-months prior to the sale; and if so,
how many cattle were affected, and
whether any of the cattle sold have
been exposed to the tubercular ami
mails or infected stables within three
months OF ,Ae time when the cattle
to be sold have been tested for tu-

Striking Examples of Evil.

The records of the college of agri
culture furnish many striking ex
amples of the way in which the dis
ease is spread broadcast by the wide
dispersion of animals through pur
chase from single infected herd. In
one instance forty-six cattle from the
herd were sold to twelve different
persons. OF these forty-six, thirty
two responded to the tuberculin test
although none of the animals showed
any appearance Of the disease at the
time of the sale. Through this sale
of infected animals the disease was
spread to twelve herds which up to
that time had been free from the dis
ease. Had the tuberculin test not
been applied soon after the sale, all
of these twelve herds would have be
come as completely infected as was
the original one. Fortunately the first
test was made shortly after the sale
of the tuberculous herd The dis
ease had just begun to spread through
the other Individual herds and to

Dangers in Buying Animals.

In working out the results of these
tests as they have been sent to the
psychological laboratory of the col
lege Of agriculture, the most frequent
cause of the development of tuberculo-
sis in herds that have been free
ON the disease, has been the pur-
chase of animals at public auction or
at private sale. Since, except in the
last stages Of the disease, there Is no
effective means of determining the
presence of tuberculosis, neither seller
nor purchaser is aware of the fact
that the animal is infected. Many
times the animals purchased are of
the highest grade of full blooded
stock, to be used for breeding pur-
poses, with view to developing the
best class of dairy cattle. BY thus
purchasing cattle which, though Of the
best breeds, are infected with tubercu-
losis, the breeder is unwittingly TAX
ing the first step toward the distruc-
ton rather than the improvement OF
the stock BY requiring that all an
imals be subjected to the tuberculin
test before the sale, and by demanding
that an affidavit be furnished of the
healthy condition both of the particn.
lar animal and of the whole herd, the
law seeks to protect the innocent
purchaser against loss of money, time
and effort .

Between Colleges Athletic
TWO UNIVERSITIES
DEADLOCKED ON
TRACK MEET

Athletes of Stanford and the Unfver-
sity of California who take part In IN
tercollegiate competition on the cinder
path are dismayed at the possibility
that for the second time the great
track meet of the two colleges will
be postponed. At both universities
prominent students are rushing about
digging up musty records and racking
foggy memories In the attempt to
prove conclusively that the meet
should be. held on the home oval
The quarrel has but one precedent
in the annals of intercollegiate sports
at the two big universities. Unless
arbitration be resorted to promptly 1t
Will reach serious climax. The feud
started when tidings reached the
Stanford campus that Berkeley intend
ed to have the meet on its own grounds,
though the Palo Altans had not wit
messed such an event on their own
home territory since 1904. The records
of the intercollegiate agreement com
mittee were dug up by Stanford. 1t
appeared from Stanford's copy of the
agreement that the contests were to be
held alternately on the two campuses.
Armed with this information the
Palo Alto delegation met the Un1ver-
sity of California representatives ana
found that they, too, had a copy of the
agreement, but that 1t had a clause
stating the meet was TO alternate year
ly between the two campuses. This
would give California the meet this
year, as none was held In 1906 because
of the earthquake.
Then the original records were pro-
duoed and were found to conform to
the Berkeley document. But this did
not end the struggle, as the Stanford
students state emphatically that the
meet will be brought off at Stanford or
nowhere. They say that their position
is Just and fair and they censure the
Berkeleyites for taking advantage of
a technicality to hold the contest for
the second consecutive time upon the
blue and gold oval.
Stanford offers TO arbitrate through
an especially appointed committee OF
disinterested college graduates in San
Francisco or through a new amend
ment to the intercollegiate agreement.
Negotiations to this effect are now
being conducted by tho two student
bodies.
To the trainers the ultimate decision
means a great deal. A strange track
handicaps athletes. The cinder paths
of the two universities do not resemble
one another in any particular The

STANFORD WILL NOT YIELD
student Body Virtually Sends an U1ti-
matum to California


matum to California
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Feb. a.
One hundred men are working out daily
on the track. but for what? Will there
be a meeting with the University OF
California this year, or will the dispute
over the trivial matter as to where the
contest should be held be allowed once
more to strain the relations of the two
universities and perhaps result in such
a fiasco as no meet at all?
While the Stanford student body is
as a unit in its declaration that by the
spirit of the intercollegiate agreement
the place OF meeting logically is here,
Just as firmly are the blue and gold
men resolved to abide by the letter Of
the document which they translate to
read alternate years.
Perhaps the best illustration of the
unyielding position Stanford has taken
is given by the recent action by the
executive committee of the Associated
Students, which refused to abide by
the decision OF the intercollegiate
agreement committee to leave the Ques-
tion in the hands of Graduate Man
ayers Sales and Snedigar respectively.
1t asked for another meeting of the
committeeman, and proposed that, In
the event of Berkeleys adherence to its
contention, the question be submitted
to an arbitration board.
without rejecting upon the ability
and firmness of Graduate Manager
Sales, the student body committee
could but remember times past when
Stanford had suffered through want of
stamina on the part of her graduate
managers, and 1t resolved to take no
chances in the present dispute.
This decision is virtually an ulti-

message to California, and the senti-
ment on the cardinal campus is that
