TWENTY.ONE COWS KILLED
Slaughtered by Government In.
spectors on Suspicion.
SEVENTEEN SHOW TUBERCULOSIS
All Of the Animals said to Have
Come from Dairy Herds of
Omaha-Lincoln School
statuRry.

TWenty-one uhlIy cows suspected OF nav
ing tuberculosis, all of which cows were
sent from omahs dairymen, were slaugh-
tered under government inspection at the
Cudahy packing plant Thursday afternoon.
The chief of the bureau Of animal indus
try. Don c. Aver. and his doctors con-
Quoted the inspection. II was found that
seventeen out of the twenty-one showed
more or less tuberculosis. OF the seven
teen. four were condemned for offal, or a
complete disqualification. The others were
cared for as In other cases of the kind.
-Four Of the suspected cows were found to
be entirely free from the disease.
The dairy cow OF Omaha have lately
been subjected TO the tuberculine tests and
developed that number of suspects. The
cows came from different herds. so many
among the several hundred dairy COWS Of
Omaha and vicinity is not considered a
great cause FOR alarm. The herds will have
been practically freed from diseased cattle
and cases will be much fewer after the
cleaning up.
The examination Of dairies in Nebraska
has been Of recent date. but It Is proposed
to make the cleanup as thorough as pos
sible. The dairy men are more than will
ing to assist In this work Of cleaning up
the herds for the reason that. although the
loss at present might be great, the ulti-
mate loss through neglect would be much
greater.

latest IN the building had dropped matches
among piles OF waste paper or similar ma
terial from which the fire developed after
several hours OF slow smouldering. The
FIRST and second floors OF the frame build
ing were badly scsrched. The loss will
probably be about 5000. The loss was
partly covered by insurance.
