parents of school children by ruling
made by Barksdale Hamlet, superin-
tendent of public instruction, regard
ing the exchange of schoolbooks un-
der the state textbook adoption.
Hamlet holds that under the act of
1914 all publishers will be required to
take up and exchange books in any
condition provided they are of the
same grade. The ruling was made to
correct an impression that has gone
out that such books offered in ex-
change would have to be in-good con.
dition. Hamletts Interpretation of the
law is that the good condition" clause
applies only to such books as are held
by dealers on their shelves, which, OF
course, must be taken up by the con.
tractors at the original net price. Re.
garding this the law says: "Such new
books as are held in Kentucky now
or at any future adoption, by purchase
by dealers, and in good condition
shall be taken in exchange at the orig
inal net price by successful bidders
from such dealers as hold in stock
such books"

Especial Frankfort Correspondence
Frankfort Testing of dairy herds
for tuberculosis will be conducted in
the future under regulations of the
State Live Stock Sanitary board, with
out cost to the owner and without the
total loss Of such cattle as may be in
fected This object has been preserv-
ed in the rules prepared by the board.
All cattle found to be infected must
be killed, quarantined or isolated.
Such cattle may be shipped for slaugh-
ter to any market under government
inspection. Dairy cows, so infected,
may be isolated and bred, their calves
being taken from them as soon as
born. "The destruction of tuberculo-
sis-infected cattle has been the cause
of greatest complaint against inspec-
tion,' said Commissioner of Agricul-
ture J. W. Newman. Our rules pro-
vide that after a dairy COW has been
proven to be INFECTED her milk shall
not be given orIsold for human con-
sumption, not even to the family of
the owner But, l would roughly guess,
that there are in Kentucky 500 COWS
that cost $1,000 each. 1t is not neces-
sary, if one of them is infected, for
the owner to lose out entirely. The
COW can be bred. Her calf need not
necessarily have tuberculosis, if it is
taken from her and given to another
cow So, while the public is protected,
the owner is also given chance to
recoup."
