Cattle Commission Work.

The report of the cattle commission
+. S. Adams of Bowdonham upon the
Work of the Maine Cattle Commits
sion was in part as follows:
The loss to the StoCkmcn by bovine
tuberculosis can hardly be estimated.
According u Or A. ID. Melvin, chief
of the Bureau of Animal Industry, their
loss totals $li.0o0,0 900 annually, and
there is no doubt but that bovine tub
crculosis is on the increase in those
states where no adequate measures
have been taken against it. In this
paper | want to show briefly what has
been done i'm the state of Maine for the
past 10 years to eradicate or control
the disease.
In 1899 and 1900 no systematic meth
cd was i'm operation, the commissions
crs making investigations whenever
called upon by the owner. During the
years 1899 and 1900. 1863 animals were
destroyed. or an average Of ISL year,
costing $13415 or in round numbers
$631S per year.
In 1901 and l9o2 there were more
calls from the farmers for inspection
and confidence in the tuberculin tcst
has materially increased, for during
1900 we had destroyed several. herds
that reacted to the test, and held seV-
cral demonstrations in different parts
of the State. While these demonStra-
tions were not extensively advertised.
they were we'll attended by Stockmen
from different parts of the State
These demonstrations educated the
farmers to the danger of allowing tub
erculosis to get a start in their herds
and gave them confidence in the tuber-
culn test.
The work was continued along the
same lines during 1903 and 1904, the
records showing that 500 animals were
destroyed in those two years, costing
S2715O or $13,515 per year. During
these years the commission became
convinced that full blood cattle brought
i'm from other states for breeding pur-
poses. We're causing great deal of
trouble. as well as full blood animals
owned and sold in this State. So in
1905 we asked the Legislature for a
law requiring that all full blood ami
mails brought into the State for breed
ing purposes should be held in quar-
antine for 80 days on the premises of
the purchaser and then be tuberculin
tested: also that all full blood animals
sold in the State for breeding pur-
poses should be tuberculin tested be-
fore delivered. The working OF this
law certainly justified the commission
in asking for it,

Bangor, Nc, Nov. l5.-Thomas
Guiteaud, aged %, Il woodsman, came
to his death in an Exchange street
restaurant tonight in peculiar man
ncr. Guitcaud was in the bar room
where he had an alteration with
James Walker. aged %. AS the
latter started to leave the place
Guiteaud seized him by the arm, hold
ing on as Walker backed rapidly away.
Guiteaud struck at Walker, lost his
balance and fell. his head striking first
upon a partition and then upon the
floor. Death ensued instantly. Walker
is held by the police and Coroner Fin

Guteaud'S death resulted from heart
failure, caused by excitement and the
effects of liquor, and it is not likely
that any inquest will be held.

hibits were on hand brought from the
Department of Agriculture, which were
examined closely by the members.
The morning session opened with
President G. l.. Jones of Corinna in
the chair. In opening he said in part:
THE time and conditions have been
against me for furnishing Il prepared
address to deliver to YOU today. but
am glad to see so many people here.
The men who start to improve the
conditions in live stock breeding have
to have courage for there are but few
real breeders in the State. The aver
age man seeks for the head of herds.
1t is education that is needed to i'm
prove this industry. Men are often
with selfish motives. seeking only to
enrich themselves and not advance the
cause of the breeders
Again we have a menace in the
line of diseases. How to guard against
them is problem. Tuberculosis, con-
tagious ABORTION, and dogs seriously
injure the sheep industry. These are
the condition we have to meet and we
are met here 10 help solve the Ques-
ton which will better the conditions
here in Maine"
