EXPERTS TELL VETS
HOW TO CLEAN HERDS

The Importance of checking the
spread Of tuberculosis in cattle and OF
the cleaning up of infected dairy
herds in particular, was discussed by
DR.. E. B. Ha skin, of the Bureau of
Animal Industry at Indianapolis, at
a meeting of veterinarians in Rich
mond Tuesday.
DR.. l.. E. Northrup, state veterinar-
ian, and Prof L. c. Kigin, of Purdue,
also were present and took part in
the meeting, which was held in DR..
G. G. Ferling's barn, where the tu-
berculin test was administered to a
Jersey COW by DR.. Haskin.
Members of the profession were
present from Rush, Fayette, Union
and Wayne counties, the meeting hav.
ing been arranged for their benefit.
DR.. Northrup insisted that local
members of the craft must fully CO
operate with the state officers to rem.
der the best service in the stamping
out of this curse to cattle. He said
that eradication was the work of the
coming hundred years, for the plague
was countrywide. This explains tbs
action of the government in keeping
a force of inspectors at the big pack
ing plants to insure the wholesome
ness of our meats. The inspection oil
dairy cattle is also of vital import
ance and in this work the local vet
erinarians can be of great service tc
the state.
