IMPORTATION Of
DISEASED CATTLE
IS TO Be PROBED
Department of Agriculture Is
to Step Interstate Trade in
Tuberculosis Beef and Also
Prosecute Offenders.
BY CAAS. S, HAYDEN.
lSNhN CnrrnSnnnhentA


WASHINGTON, May Ga thorough
investigation is being made by the
bureau Of animal industry, department
of agriculture, with a view of prosecut-
ing persons responsible for sending
tuberculous cattle into Southern states.
Meanwhile the department has isued a
warning to prospective buyers, especial
ly OF dairy cattle, to see that II full in
Quiry is made INTO the health Of such
stock and a sanitary conditions Of the
farms from which they are to be pur-
chased.
1t is announced that veterinary in
spectors OF the Tennessee department
of agriculture tested three carloads of
cattle received from Illinois recently
and discovered tuberculosis in from so
TO 80 per cent Of such animals. This
was reported to the officials of the
United States department of agriculture
and the section in Illinois. from which
these cattle came. is now under in
vestigation. As u result of IA similar
investigation one Illinois cattle dealer
was recently convicted in the federal
court OF using the mails to defraud
prospective buyers of dairy cattle.
The declaration is made that every
effort will be made to keep tubercular
cattle out Of the new dairying COM
muntties Of the South, 1t is pointed out
that the South has mar natural ad-
vantages for dairying and efforts have
been made to foster this industry there
and the department Is determined to
prevent u~nsCrupulouss dealers from
dumping their diseased stock there.
Investigations made have demon
strated that the native cattle OF the
South are relatively free from tubercu-
lous. OF the 5000 cattle in the herds
supplying milk to Birmingham, Ala, It
was found that but Al were tainted
with the disease. This Is less than |
per cent and Is much below the average
for the United States as n whole.
Department officials declare that the
only advice to be given, when herds are
found infected, Is to slaughter the ami
mails which react to the test. In the
Tennessee case out of one lot OF 16 cat
tie, Is showed the reaction, while in an
other lot II out Of sc showed the re-
action, and in still another lot one of
the animals died before the test could
be made. Cooperation between the
federal and state governments to re-
imburse owners Of such cattle is urged.
