Test For All
Maui Herds
All Dairy Cows In County Must
Stand InspectiOn.-Dr Fitzgerald
Says Bovine tuberculosis Can Be
Stamped Out.

A thorough inspection of all of the
dairy cattle on Maui is to be made
as soon -as possible by DR.. j. c. Fitz-
gerald, territorial veterinarian, with
the object OF eradicating any tuber-
culai cattle that may be in any Of
the herds Within the next few weeks,
Dr. Fitzgerald expects to visit every
farm on the island that produces milk
for sale, and test out the cattle with
the tuberculin test, which is recog-
nized as an infallibIe method.
Many of the cattle on Maui have
already been tested in the past, and
from what is known, it is not thought
that very great amount of disease
will be found. Some time ago $500
head of cattle on the Grove Ranch
We're tested, and only about 40 in
fected animals We're found. Dr.. Fitz,
gerald states that Maui is probably
very clean compared with Oahu, and
he is confident that it will be possible
to entirely eradicate the dangerous
malady on this island, as has already
been done with glanders in horses.
The importance of this work may
be appreciated when it is remembered
that practically all of the tuberculosis
in children is directly tracable tC
their being fed milk from tuberculaI
cows.
1t is understood also that the
board OF health is planning to soor
make a systematic canvass of tn,
Maui dairies for the purpose of en-
forcing general sanitary measures.
