OF the license to be $50 This law Ia
calculated TO restrict the wholesale
shipping Of small spruce and hemlock

and the consequent depletion OF the
timber of Vermont says the Rutland
Herald
Rutland county is furnishing its
share Of the trees and six licenses
have been issued by County Clerk II.

these trees. There were seven licen-
ses issued last year. Many of the
more foxy dealers are working the
state and making one license last two
seasons, thus the early shipping OF
trees this year and the probable late
shipment next year The license is
good for a year and by getting 1t late
one season it will be good the next
provided the trees are cut and shipped
before the time Of the license expires.
A majority Of the cutting this year
is taking place in the south end OF
the county in the vicinity OF East Wal

MANY CATTLE INFECTED
Cows on Vermont Marble Company
Farms Being Tested.

Farms 6elng lesteu'
Rutland. Dec. S.-A startling con-
dition OF affairs has developed thus
far in the tests for tuberculosis being
made by DR.. Robert Weir Of this city
among the cattle owned on the Yer
mont Marble company's farms be-
tween Center Rutland and Proctor.
Thus far the cattle on two farms
have been tested by Or. Weir. who is
acting for State Cattle Commissioner
II. S. Wilson Of Arlington. There
are more than 500 cows on these
farms to be tested within the next
three weeks. Out of 1876 COWS tested
thus far &c have responded to the test,
showing infections Of tuberculosis.
Many Of the cattle are in good condi-
lion, apparently, but have responded
to the test.
None OF the cattle have yet been
killed and II has not definitely been
decided where this viii take place.
They will probably all be driven to
one place and there slaughtered and
buried. The cattle infected with the
disease are Jerseys. grades and a few
Holstemes. On the Myott farm 20
head were condemned.
The testing of these cattle grew out
OF the discovery by Or. Weir at the
Temple Brothers farm OF about 20
cattle which were suffering frop
tuberculosis or COW consumption The
milk from these farms has been de-
livered in Proctor on milk routes.
Now that the tuberculina test is
being used TO so great an extent II
may be interesting TO note some
thing of the test itself The testing
doctor at night takes the temperature
of the COW and records IL, after
which the tuberculin is injected This
is allowed to work until morning and
during this time the COW Is made 10
go without food or drink. In the
morning the temperature rises two or
more degrees above normal, then tub
erculosis is present. There are other
things To be taken into consideration
during the test which comes into the
Judgment of the doctor conducting
the test but this is In main the test
itself
A large number of farmers In this
vicinity and In other places in the
state have complained that when the
test Is used on a COW whose condi-
ton Is normal It has a bad effect on
the animal and greatly decreases its
value. by experts on the subject this
is claimed to be untrue. DR. Weir
said when asked II he thought
this had any effect detrimental
to- the animal mo. / do not think
the test hurts the condition Of
healthy COW. Some farmers say that
It tends to dry up COW. Will say
that for couple Of days Il may have
some effect which is caused by the
fever but It is hardly perceptible In
the long run. / don't think the test
damages or decreases the value OF
a healthy COW.
