TESTS ARE SAVING
VIRGINIA CATTLE
Commissioner Saunders Will
Ask Legislature for Bigger
Appropriation.
NEW RAILROAD PROJECTED
Charter Issued for Henry County
Line-McAlexandcr Re-
signs senatorsllip.

In order to rid the state OF Virginia
of tuberculosis in cattle, State Dairy /
and Food Commissioner W. d. Saun- |
ders will ask the next Legislature Tor !
an appropriation Of 100000 for the
purpose of continuing and charging
the tuberculin tests. Professor saun-
ders said yesterday that he regards
to the stock raisers and dairymen OF
Virginia.
AT it's last session the General AS
sembly made an appropriation of
$1,000, more as a beginning than with
any hope Of covering large amounr.
of territory. Under the provisions OF
the law. any owner may ask for a test
OF HIS herd. All cattle which react
urder the test are killed. The State
-cimburses the proprietor with 50 per
cent OF the appraised value OF the
animals. In some instances II is found
when the animal Is killed that IL is
so badly affected as 10 be unfit for
human food. so 1T Is condemned and
the carcass destroyed. But IN most
cases only certain spots are diseased.
and these are cut out. after which the
! remainder OF the flesh may be safely
marketed. The revenue from this
course goes to the state fund for the
continuance Of the experiments.
Heavy Disease Isatc.
! lii the last herd examined there wee
about 200 cattle The same herd was
tested several months ago. aud sixty
cattle reacted and were slaughtered
I Later other animals were added TO tbs
herd, and upon the second test abon,
! thirty were found with the disease
4 1t was found that the State. after set
I thing with the owner and realizing on
! such of the cattle as we're fit for food,
| lost about SO per cent. OF the SO per
1 cent OF value paid the owner
/ However. the loss to the fund is not
1 always so great, nor is the percentage
of infection usually 80 high. The pre-
liminary tests were made last spring
In the vicinity of Blacksburg. and
when a number OF herds had been
examined, 1t was found that in no
case did the loss exceed 10 per cent,
/ on the other hand In a herd in the
northern part OF the State, forty-seven
of the lfty-six cattle were found to
be suffering from tuberculosis.
Uncle Sam Helps.
The cost of the tests is borne by
tho United states Department of Ag-
TicultuFe. and the expense on the stare
is in rcimhurslng the owner of in
fected animals. The appropriation is
now nearly exhausted. Professor
Saunders estimates that an appro-
priation or $4,000 would pay for
probably $4,000 worth of slaughtered
cattle.
The commissioner is pleased witt
the growing interest in the matter
owners of stock are taking notice ant
are becoming more and more interested
in the elimination of the disease from
their herds. Another thing which
has contributed to the diffusion o.
, knowledge has been the order barring
the shipment of cattle into Virginia
unless accompanied by papers which
are satisfactory to the State Neterina
rian. Railroads are held responsible
and great care Is now exercised tina
no tuberculous cattle are shipped int,
