TUBERCULOSIS IN STOCK.
Most Important Factor in Spread Of
Disease 10 In the Manure.

The bureau of animal industry has
made number of tests showing that
the most important factor in. the
spread Of cattle tuberculosis is the
manure. It has been generally sup
posed that milk was not as likely to be
affected unless the cows udder was
tuberculous.
The bureau has found, however.
that the manure from diseased COWS
Is usually heavily laden with tuber-
culous bacteria and as these are cas-
lily and almost surely introduced into
the milk, under ordinary methods of
milking. single tubercular COW may
affect the milk of an entire stable.
Hogs. according to the bureau, also
easily acquire tuberculosis from fol-
lowing cows in the pasture or from
feeding from skim milk or separator
milk from tuberculous cattle, The
great increase in tuberculosis among
hogs is stated by the bureau of ami
NAL industry to be almost entirely
traceable to their association with af-
fected cattle, and the bureau strongly
recommends the sterilization of all
skim or separated milk from public
creameries before it is fed to calves
or pigs.
tuberculosis among animals is not
necessarily acquired through the
mouth or nose as has been generally
supposed. For instance, tuberculosis
of the lungs was produced in hogs by
inoculating them in the tips of their
tails.
There has been considerable dispute
as to whether human and bovine tu-
berculosis are practically one and the
same, the famous Koch theory rails
ing storm of dissension-at least
as to whether human tuberculosis or
consumption can result from the con-
sumption of tuberculous milk, etc
DR.. Melvin. chief of the bureau of
animal industry, holds to the view
that the two forms cannot be classed
as separate and distinct and that meas
ures to protect persons from infection
from tuberculosis from animals are
highly necessary.
But whether" he said, in speaking
of the matter. the subject is regarded
from the standpoint of protecting hui
man health, or of promoting the well
fare of the live stock industry. it is be-
yond question of argument that it is
highly important for our stock raiserv.
farmers and dairymen to eliminate tn
berculosis from their herds"
DR.. Melvin's predecessor as chief of
the bureau of animal industry, D. E.
Salmon, also held that bovine tuber-
culosis was transmissible to humans
and he took the very sensible view
that even admitting there was doubt
about the matter, the only safe course
to pursue was to assume that it was
transmissible and to make and enforce
regulations accordingly.
