TUBERCuLIN TEST
FAILS TO REVEAL
STATE OF DISEASE
cownie Says Cattle Were Killed
That Revealed No Disease
in Post Mortem.

Des Moines. Ia. June 16-That the
tuberculin test used by the state vet
erinarlans is not infallible. and that
many cattle respond to the test, which,
after being slaughtered. show no symp-
toms of tuberculosis. Is the contention
OF Chairman John Cownie, of the state
board of control. who returned recent
~ from an inspection of the dairy herd
at the state hospital at Independence.
The matter OF tuberculosis" said
Mr.. Cownie, lis one of the most serious
problems now before the people OF
Iowa. whether In the human family
or in cattle or hogs, for many are more
or less affected with this dread dis
ease.
Unfortunately the tuberculin test
does not indicate the progress tho dis
ease has made, whether ii is In its in4
cipiency or Well advanced, and In this
last slaughter of the Independence cows
1t is even found that seven cattle that
reacted TO the tuberculin test gave no
indications whatever OF being affected
In the slightest degree as shown by
the post mortem examination This ex-
animation was also very rigid, being
conducted by experts employed by the
government and in the presence of
three state veterinarians 1t is certain
ly serious matter that SO many cat
tie must be slaughtered to secure those
infected. and it Is to be hoped that some
means will be found that will indicate
the true condition of the animal before
slaughter instead of after, as at pres
emit

three coaches toppled over, but the
weight of the engine prevented it from

Farmer Had Confidence in Government

From the Des Moines Capital
Winnepeg-An old American farmer
from Des Moines walked into the inn
migration offices and remarked that he
wanted to buy land in this country. but
wanted to look around before doing so.
He confessed that he knew nothing OF
banks or people. but had confidence in
the integrity of the government. He
therefore asked the officials to take care
Of his old wallet until he had picked
his farm. He handed it over to the
commissioner, who on opening it found
1t contained $4,000 in green backs. It
was banked for the old man in the
name of the government. This is q
good sample of the class of i'm
migrants coming in fror- the south this
spring. One day there were 30 home
seekers from the states, who reported
at the immigration ONCE, and the
smallest sum that any of them had in
cash was $4,000. The wealth that is
being brought in this spring is aston
fishing.
