losis from which it is estimated that
% per cent of tuberculosis among
children comes through milk from in
fected cows. During the month of
September the state department of ag-
riculture tested 179 herds containing
4201 cattle. Ninety-three of these lots
passed negative or clean test. This
made a net gain of 80 to the Federal
State accredited herd list. The Fed
eral government cooperating with the
state in the attempt to stamp out tu.-
berculosis among the cattle of the
state. The total number of accredit-
ed herds now in Wisconsin. that 10
herds absolutely free from any trace
of tuberculosis, is now 361, according
to DR.. J. S. Healy who has charge OF
this work. During the month 971
herds passed one negative test. There
