the number was eo9, while in 1901 IL

The killing Of cattle by wild animals
IS a fairly constant factor-9S.6S7 in

the leopard is easily first, accounting
with the tiger = good second These

TUBERCULAR CATTLE
OCCASION FOR WORRY
Honolulu Authorities TO Ask
Government for Aid
| Special Correspondence of The Cali


HONOLULU, Sept. 17.-Territorial
public health authorities are prepar-
ing to ask the federal government to
assist in the work of stamping out
tuberculosis among the Hawaiian cat
tie herds. A recent inspection of the
dairy cattle of Honolulu showed that
80 per cent Of the whole was infected,
while in some herds 90 per cent of the
cows were tubercular. 1t is feared
also that much of the range stock is
affected.
Doctor Norgaard, the territorial
veterinarian, has recommended that
the federal government be asked to
send two federal veterinarians here to
assist in the inspection work.
The first infected cows discovered
were slaughtered and the meat placed
on sale. A newspaper campaign
against this being allowed was under
taken and sentiment created that
made the further sale of tubercular
meats impossible. Against this the
dairymen complain bitterly.
