that no vestige Of title to the lands
allotted them now remains In the
United States. The demurrers in

II. Mercer. state live stock sanitary
commissioner, has written to the bu-
reau OF animal industry asking that
the government veterinarians be al
lowed to make tests to determine
whether OF not Kansas dairy cows
have tuberculosis. Owing to the fact
that the legislature increased the work
but did not increase the number OF
assistants in the veterinary depart
ment az the agricultural college the
sanitary commissioner win not be
able to do as much testing az planned
without the aid Of the government.
Hundreds OF applications are being
received by the department every
week asking that the dairy cattle be
tested. The Legislature passed a law
prohibiting the use OF tubereular cat.
lie for dairy purposes and then pro
vided that the tests should be made
by the state veterinarian free OF cost
