tuberculosis Test Not Reliable

Convinced that the tuberculin
test OF cattle is fallible the Gen
eral Assembly of the State OF Hi
nois has placed itself on record
against it by passing an anti-tu-
berculin test bill. The attitude
taken by the Legislature was bas-
ed on the report OF a special crnl-
mission appointed during the ses
sion OF 1909. In its report, this
commission says: The CONNER
cialized tuberculin test as now ap-
piled is neither fair nor reliable.
10 illustrate, experts tested the
herd OF Mrs. Scott Durand of
Lake Bluff, whose dairy was fam
ed for its hygiene and sanitary
features. Sixteen out OF the sixty
COWS tested were condemned. Lat
er these same COWS were eXamin-
ed at the Chicago stockyards and
we're found to be perfectly healthy.
From rs to 40 per cent. OF the
COWS in a given herd will 'raect'
and be condemned on that show
ing, when as matter of fact they
have no infection at all. In most
cases, the COWS are permanently
injured by the inoculation.'
There is growing opinion
among dairymen that the tuber-
culin test is an unreliable indica-
ton OF bovine tuberculosis, and
this action OF the Legislature Of
Illinois, one of the leading dairy
States, shows that fact. To estab-
lish a mandatory tubeEculin, r., test
would be ruinous to the fattsers
FANG ID ,dairymen OF the. Stats pf LII
no7s..' in the opinion OF the Com
mission, and the State would be
bankrupted in paying its portion
Of the expense.
