Here are few plain questions, born of
ignorance in an ignoramus. Where was
"bovine tuberculosis" when we were
boys? Were any humans affected" by
any such disease in animals those days?
If cow kept in an air-tight barn and
fed on the mash and juice of fomented
corn in the form of "ensilage" is found
to have tuberculosis, how many fatal
diseases ought the COW of our fathers to
have had. that old yaller COW who stood
all of winter day in the barn yard with
her tail pointed to the east wind MUNICH
ing india wheat straw and frozen pota-
toes? Did the fact that the boards were
so loose in the old barn that the hens
flew through at will render her immune
to "bovine tuberculosis" and gastronicus
verbatorium, and squipdleinktom omini-
varium? What would the old man or
the old COW have thought of the peripat-
etic expert with bughouse needle?
Just how much weary humbug is there
in all this disgusting "bovine tuberculo-
sis" lunacy and graft? Not more than
