Plan for Tested Cattle.


Final details of plan for the eradi.
cation of tuberculosis in cattle

credited tuberculin tested herds,
evolved after thorough study by C. P.
Norford, commissioner of agriculture;
o, II. Eliason, state veterinarian, and
the live stock sanitary board. was
made public here.
Assurance has been received from
live stock sanitary boards of many
states by the Wisconsin department of
agriculture that they win accept cattle
from the accredited herds without test
ing Immediately prior to shipment. II
is believed that the federal department
of agriculture will cooperate with the
various states in the establishment OF
tested herds. 1t is pointed out that
the buyers Of other states will prefer
animals from tuberculin tested herds
and pay greater prices for them
A number OF applications have al
ready been received. Farmers will
agree to follow instructions concern

be made annually or as often as the
board may deem necessary by yeteri

The number of cattle to be tested
at the time will be limited so as to give
the veterinarian an opportunity tC

reactors are found. they must be re
moved and the premises disinfected
