I'm May. 1913, we signed up with
the federal authorities to get on the
accredited herd list. Our first test
was made the 9th and 2Sth Of the
same month and found our herd some.
what infected with tuberculosis. But
the federal authorities have kept test.
ing our herd from time to time until
today we have 80 head Of Red Polled
cattle which We believe to be entirely
clean. We are positive that II We had
not gone into this plan, by this time
our herd would have been badly In.
fected. causing Us the loss Of q great
many dollars. We would fully recon-.
mend the accredited.herd plan to all
