The Farmer and The Cow Tests.

The farmers of Vermont have been
the recipients of some pretty hard
knocks in relation to the testing OF
cattle for tuberculosis during the pres.
ent session Of the legislature. Some
cr the newspaper comments have even
gone SO for a. to assert that the own
trS of dairy herds have been in the
habit of palming off their worn out
stock upon the state in the fall so as
to avoid the expense Of carrying their
inferior cows through the winter. In
a few instances attempts of this ma
trre may have been made, for there are
farmers who are no more hon
est than other people, but in the ma
iority OF cases the owners of dairy
stock have undoubtedly taken the ordi-
nary common sense view OF the cattle
testing problem. If farmer suspected
that animals in his herd were afflicted
with tuberculosis, IL he had any bust
ness capacity worth mentioning, he
would make application for test in
the fall so as to avoid the expense of
keeping infected cattle through the
most expensive period of the year That
a farmer should ask for the testing of
his cattle in June when the cost of
maintenance is the smallest and tne
profits from the dairy the largest
could hardly be expected, although
tests are made during every month Of
the year in the order of their filing
with the cattle commissioner Ben
nington Banner.
