Measures taken to safeguard the people
Of Washington from the ravages Of thu
great white plague by preventing thu
sale of the product Of any infected COW
were outlined in detail by DR.. Woodward
Washington gets its milk not alone
from cows in the District and the nearby
states of Maryland and Virginia, but
from farms as far distant as Pennsyl-
vania, West Virginia and Ohio. DIR.
Woodward said. He added that the DIFF
ficulties Of proper supervision might
readily be appreciated when 1t is under
stood how comparatively remote are some
of the sources of supply.
District Herds Clear.
DR.. Woodward told his auditors that
dairy herds in the District had been freed

that the elimination of infected animals
from herds outside the District has proved
a naturally much slower process While
awaiting legislation to eliminate danger
Of infected milk on the part Of local gov
ernments and STATE legislatures a strong
barrier against the importation into
Washington OF impure milk has been
raised by the regulations which all deal
ers alike are required to observe.
AS an illustration Of the preva-
lence Of tuberculosis n cattle DR.
Woodward said that, following the
the establishment In the District more
than a year ago Of meteorological lab
farms were inspected, in seven Of which,
evidences Of virulent tubercuiar bacilli
were found. The supply from these seven
dealers was Immediately cut of. and they
were informed that when they had had
their herds tuberculin tested their licenses
would be renewed. Application Of the
test disclosed that 6 per cent OF the cat
tie had tuberculosis.
The same measures used In the treat
ment of the disease in human beings is
applicable to cattle, the speaker said.
light, airy and clean quarters and whole
some food being the best preventives.
The methods of applying the tuberculin
test, it's unfailing accuracy and pasteuri-
cation were described by DR.. Woodward,
who also said he favored the segregation
of diseased animals and. in instances
where tuberculosis is well advanced,
slaughtering them.
