their hides by placing arsenic in their
feeding troughs; and within recent times
an attempt was made to poison an army
official with diamond dust mixed with
arsenic. There are traditions of princes

TESTING THE COWS
FOR TUBERCULOSIS
City Officials Begin the
WOrk-Fees Are High
in Some Instances.

Work of enforcing the new dairy in
spectiC1 ordinance has commenced and
veterinarians Frank Thatcher and r. A
Higgins have commenced the tests TO
locate the presence of tubercular germs
in cows, from which milk is sold in
Ell Paso.
According to the ordinance recently
passed, by request Of the county board
Of health, all dairy cows must be in
spected once every six months. The fees
are So per COW where there is only one
cow, but never shall the attending vet
erinarian receive less than SO per day
except where there is but one COW. If
a person or company owns 20 cows or
more the charge for testing shall be
so cents per animal.
If a person owns family COW and
sells milk to his neighbors he must pay
IS every six months for having the
COW tested to ascertain whether or not
there are any tubercular germs in the
milk. In many instances where dairy
man has four or five cows he will have
to pay $40 per day for their inspection
and, as it requires two days to test each
animal, this will work a hardship on
many who make but bare living by
the sale of milk, il is said.
