Of Columbia. The Holstein-Frieslan
dairy herd at this institution includes
184 registered pure-bred cows and is
one of the Oldest accredited herds in
the United States.
Control with view to the eventual
eradication of tuberculosis in cattle is
being accomplished by systematic ef-
forts Of federal and state authorities
In cooperation with cattle breeders
associations and herd owners.
A definite plan was adopted In 1917
whereby herds of cattle passing the
prescribed number of official tuberculin
tests should be certified or accredited
as free from tuberculosis.
An accredited herd Is one that has
successfully passed two annual or
three semiannual tuberculin tests ap-
piled by regularly employed veterinary
inspectors Of the bureau of animal in
dustry or Of the state where co-opera-
tive work is conducted, and has other

If the status Of any of the accred-

notice is to be given to the officials of
the various states. Additional lists
are to be published from time to time.
