BETTER MILK FOR BABIES
IS RESULT OF NEW ACT

Pierre. s.. D., March 14-Better milk
for babies and adults in this state will
result from the tuberculin test for
dairy cows which can be obtained free
since the passage Of an act by the last
legislature.
Upon petition Of three patrons of any
dairy. the live stock sanitary board
will make an examination, at state ex-
pense, of the cows in the herd. If tu-
bercular cows are found in the herd,
they are killed and the owner is reim-
bursed by the state. Payment is made
on the basis of one-half of the ap-
praised value, with a limit OF $50 for
one cow. The appraisement is made in
the same way as for CHAMBERS and
other diseases among live took.
Many cities. where dairy herds are
kept have passed ordinances requiring
ne examination OF cows. In such
cases the owners were forced to pay
the expense. The act appropiiates
$4,000 for Immediate use between now
and July 4, and Sis, 900 per year there
after. Five thousand dollars is for
indemnity for cattle killed, and the
rest for testing by the board.
