Interesting Facts Regarding Tuber'
cular Cows.

The L, g of milk from tubercular
COWS at the state hospital for the in
sane in St. Peter is severely con-
demned by the state board Of visit
ors, and it is possible that the aid of
Governor Eberhart will be invoked in
putting a stop to the custom.
J. c. Mitchell, secretary Of the
board, yesterday fled with the gov
ernor mass of correspondence
covering the subject and said that the
board intended to go. further into the
matter.
The presence Of tubercular cattle
at the St. Peter hospital was brought
to light some weeks ago when prac-
tically half of the herd on the asy-
lum farm was condemned. DR.. H. H.
Tomlinson, superintendent of the in
stitution, admitted that he knew the
cattle We're tubercular and that milk
for them had been fed to the "a
tents. Why did he not Immediately
order them destroyed was because of
the fact that the disease had not
reached the udder, and as his know
ledge ran this did not make the milk
unwholesome. When the disease did
reach the udder, he said, the cows
were killed and the carcasses boiled
to prevent a spread of disease,
The story from the hospital said
the cattle, when destroyed, were fed
to the hogs. The pork was later con-
sumed by the patients, it was said
Answering this accusation, DR.. Tom
linson said that such was done, but
before the carcasses were fed to the
hogs they were placed in digeste,
and sterilized for 48 hours. The re-
sidue, he declared, made wholesome
food for the swine.
As to the use of the milk from in
fected COWS DR.. Tomlinson said: '1t
is the consensus of opinion among
those who speak with authority that
| the milk from infected cows is whole
some so long as the udder is not in
volved, so that we are using the mill
from some Of the cows and expect te
continue to do so as long as the re-
turn pays for the feed. The infected
COWS are now separated from the
healthy Ones"
Questioning DR.. Tomlnson's stanc
Mr.. Matchett wrote to DR.. Bracken
secretary of the state board OF
health. In answer DR.. Bracken sale
that there was no special danger
from milk taken from COWS where the
udder was not infected, but in his
opinion milk from COWS affected with
tuberculosis should not be used in thu
raw state. F. H. Ward, secretary Of
the state live stock sanitary board
condemned the use of milk from COWS
in any way affected with tuberculo
sis.
The board Of visitors declared tina
in it's opinion the following Of rul'
that the financial consideration wa!
more important than the health O.
the institution patients was wrong
and that the state board should no
be compelled to use milk from suc]
infected cattle. The board will tax
the question up with the state boar

years, and always been actively inter-

The board kept up its campaign for
an increased maintenance sufficient to
warrant our asking for a thirty thou

would have been attained except for
personal effort on the part of the
president of the board. A large ma
