| THE work Of the department in
Graduating the disease of tuberculo-

by the stockmen in this district. The
percentage of cattle affected with the
disease Is gradually getting smaller
year by year."--W. L. Burdick, Willis

| Benefits Of Eradication.
| 1.-THE benefits from being able to
ship Interstate, the advertisement re-
ceiyed from being listed In the govern
ment bulletin, these and many other
| advantages make me- think this is the
greatest boom oLthe pure-bred cattle
business ever started."-T. S. Humph-
ries, HUMPHREYS Stock Farm, Durant,
Miss.
/ 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 If we had
not gone into this plan, by this time
our herd would have been badly in
| fected, causing us the loss of greet
many dollars. We would fully recon-
mend the accredited-herd plan to all
| breeders Of pure-bred cattle."-J. w.
Larabee, EarlevIlle, Ill.
tuberculosis Soon Memory.
I'VE, the undersigned breeders of
Guernsey cattle, have co-operated with
the state and federal government for
| a number of years for the eradication
of tuberculosis in our herds. We do
heartily agree 1t has been of great
value. In cleaning and keeping Glenn
our herds of tuberculosis. We believe
every breeder of pure-bred cattle
| should cooperate with their state and
federal authorities in trying 10 stamp
| out this disease. If they will do this
| tuberculosis will soon be thing of
the past."-Charles e. Writ, William
Nettleon, ]. III. Nahrgang, Lewiston,
| MINI.
There are undoubtedly some un-
scrupulous men in the business who
will take every advantage they can
and IL the states and government will
| cooperate in this work and only pass
| cattle that have been tested by author
| lied men, the disease will soon be
stamped Out."-C. B. eager, Paris, Ky
| OF lncaIculable Value,
| "The value to the state In the pro-
lection of the whole cattle industry
and the advantage to the Individual
breeder Is Of incalcul9ble value. In a
short time the benefits to be derived
from the accredited herd plan will be
] so plain that all breeders of pure-bred
cattle especially will be forced, in or
der to sell their cattle to advantage,
to become members of the accredited
herd system."-R. ]. Goode, Jr., Ala
bama Hereford Farm. Glastonbury,

Confidence Is the chief value of
| tuberculin testing. First, self-confi-
dence that comes from knowing your
herd is free from tuberculosis and the
satisfaction that comes from this con-
dltion; second, the confidence the buy
Ing public puts in your herd. The pub
lie is willing to pay for this confidence
This makes my breeding work pleas
ure and also profitable."-W. H. Sem
our, Brookville, Ind, President of the
Indiana Dairy Association.
1--WE have been much interested In
getting our neighboring breeders to-
have their herds tested, so that we
might have clean bill of health In
this community. So far we have been
instrumental in securing over fifty ap-
plications for the tuberculin test and
to the best of our knowledge every one
is satisfied with the results and has
full faith In its application. The only
regret that have is that there Is not
a compulsory law so that we might rid
the entire United States of this insidI-
Gus disease."-Willls Whinnery, Sa-
| lem, q.
