in order to prevent them from run
ming into him, he turned South on
Main street
He said that the farmer made no
effort to drive around him but per-
sistently followed directly behind him,
until finally the horses climbed into
the back Of the car and the end of the
wagon tongue polled the careful chauf-
four in the small of the back, causing
him to demonstrate with the farmer
and insist on the instant removal of
the team from his automobile.

gion.

"Thus far there has been more con-

"a short time ago Dr.. D. F. Lucky,
State Veterinarian, was requested by a

"Dr. Lucky's policy at the present
time is to make about two official
tests every, six years, and then have
the dairymen make tests at their own
