 CATTLE IS SPREADING

Dr. B. A. Crossrnan of Boston, fed era Inspector for the New England states for the eradication of tuber- culosis in cattle, was a recent visitor to the office of Cattle Commissioner James M. Whittlesey in the capitol The purpose of the visit was to ar range plan for an educational cam paign for the eradication of the dis ease in Connecticut.
 Dr. Crossman said that the disease was spreading and that the federal authorities were cooperating with the officials of the various states in the union with the view of educating the farmers and cattle men to the realization of it's menace. He referred to the work of education in the south for the destruction of the tick peril on farms, saying that a work similar ly effective could be done, in this state. In Louisiana the legislature had made an. appropriation of $1,- 000, 900 for the prevention of infec- tious diseases in cattle and in the destruction of insect pests.
 The doctor said there was every reason to hope that the disease would be eradicated in Connecticut just as soon as the people were alive to the danger to human health which exist ed from the disease. The doctor com mended the pasteurization of milk but said that he hoped for the day when milk from the cows could be used with perfect safety before sub jecting it to process of puriffcation to insure it's freedom from grfns
