or less extensive degree, while six
more which were killed later. and
after postmortem instruments had
arrived, also showed the presence of
the disease. The one In which no
LESSONS were found had in the mean
time been inadvertently buried. the
carcass being mistaken for. that OF
another animal. but It is safe TO pre-
sumo that LESSONS would have been
found in case careful postmortem
had been made.
AS stated in letter appended to
this report, II is Mr.. Isenberg's de-
sire that all reacting animals be dis
posed of with. as little delay as pos
sible, and regardless OF cost. and,
further. that no milk be sold or 9TH
erwise disposed Of from any of the
reacting animals. II is, however,
left to the discretion of the manager
as to how these animals are to be
disposed of with the exception Of the
bulls, which Mr.. Isenberg insisted
on should be shot.
The absolute destruction of near
ly 300 head of aniamls without real.
izing anything from the carcass ex-
cept the hide would entail a loss
OF several thousand dollars. and the
subject of how these animals could
be most economically disposed OF
was therefore given full considera-
tion in various meetings and confer
ences between the members of the
committee on animal industry, the
manager of the Walalae ranch, and
Mr.. lsenbergs representative here,
Mr.. Alexander McBryde. The ulti-
mate result of these conferences led
to the acceptance ny Mr.. Bailey OF
an offer from Mr.. Charles Bellina to
take on his hands all such reacting
animals which under no circum-
stances are to be retained. they
either being too old or too poor to
warrant further use even as breed
ing animals, Mr.. Bellina to destroy
them under the supervision OF this
board and to utilize the carcasses
when rendered innocuous by boiling
for feed for his pigs and chickens.
The better class of reactors were to
be kept by Mr.. Bellina in an iso-
lated pasture in the neighborhood OF
Kahana, on this island, their fur.
Their disposition to be decided on
later.
"All animals which have been
turned over to Mr.. Bellina, that is
sixty-fve head up to the present
date. with about thirty-five more TO
be turned over to him during u
week, have been plainly branded
with the Cfiicial IT r. brand, and
Mr.. Beilina has pledged himself to
act In good faith and to dispose OF
none of these animals without the
knowledge and consent of this board.
Mr.. Bellina has further been permit.

use a'ima's are likewise to be

ershlp of each individual animal so
that compensation may be given the
owners when the animals are finally
disposed of. The point OF this move
ment is to gather as many OF the
reacting animals in one place as pos
sible, and to assist those dairy own
ers who are anxious to have clean
dairy to get the tuberculous animals
OFF their premises without sacrifc-
Ing them completely. -
ION August 23 to "a the dairy
herd belonging to Mrs. Davis, at Wa
hiawa, was tested by DR.. Edwards,
veterinarian to the Fifth U, s. Cav
airy, with tuberculin furnished by
this office. His report on the same
has been accepted as satisfactory.
None OF Mrs. Davis animals reacted
to the test.
'On September l and two cows
were tested for Harold Dillingham;.
both of which reacted and were
branded. On September . and 10
seven cows and one bull were tested
for Mr. A. NJ. Brown. OF which num-
Der one COW reacted and was brand
ed, while six cows and one bull were
ear tagged as sound. 90.
Although no definite policy has
so far been decided upon by the
Board of Supervisors OF the City and
County of Honolulu in regard to the
enforcement of the so-called milk or
dinance, It must nevertheless be said
that the tuberculosis situation has
become an easier solution with each
reactlng animal that is disposed OF
and that public sentiment regarding
this subject and which was unduly
