was bum and cut such capers that
all the money we had was clearing

all as blue as the sky, and calamity

But all Of the felix's that would have

are Informed that the Capital stock
is TO be limited 10 fifty thousand

will be between fifty and sixty
thousands dollars and that the gross
income from the rents will be some

been made on all stores, and on the
theatre these have all been leased
under yearly contracts. The Dor

not propose TO operate the theatre
or any part of the building. 1t is
all rented and the income and reve-

The apartments will be occupied by
families, the stores are all taken by
local merchants, and the theatre has
been leased by an experienced own
er of a chain of Picture ParlorS. this
assures the public, new fresh anu up
to date picture dramas at reasonable
prices. This enterprise carries with
it three strong protective batteries
of reEenue-the theatre, the stores
and the apartments. Rents from the
theatre alone will pay all carrying
charges, rents from the second floor
apartments will take care Of all op-
Grating costs and rents from the
stores will sustain operating charges.
With anyone of the three paying up

ing coSls of upkeep and good rate

three running and producing reve-
nue. of over nine thousand dollars
annually, where can one find as an

ly for 15 years and every year shows lot of reactors. One year 80%o of the cows reacted. This herd is con- ducted in the most sanitary manner, feeding and ventilation perfect. The cows are cared for by men dressed in white. Does this indicate that the test will clean up herd, or does it hint of the test spreading the dis ease?
 Herd No.7 tested in 1909 when a larger per cent reacted. Tested again in 1911, 1918 and 1915, with no re- actors. In January, 1920, tested a. gain and 32 reacted. The remainder were tested one month later, and think all reacted. l am informed that these cattle never came in con- tact with other animals nor were any added to the herd from outside sour ces. was not acquainted with this herd, and draw no conclusions, but it is evident that the owner met with great loss, and at the same time in creased the burden of the taxpayers, while his neighbors who had never had their herds tested or increased the, tax burden, still maintain healthy herds. What lesson in practical economy! The owner of this herd believes that the laymen are incap- able of understanding the technical ities of materia medica and should bow in servile submission before the medical autocracy and contribute monetary support without stint or question. These are the identical ar- guments employed by the priests in the dark ages and were as sensible then as they are today. ..
 Dr. De Fossit told the writer that an animal that had once reacted (and that simply means that an ami nal that shows a rise in temperature during the test) should never be tested again and later he writes that such an animal should never be con- sidered healthy. This, understand is in strict conformity with the pro- paganda being sent out at public ex- pense by the veterinary department of the bureau af animal industry. A federal inspector in Massachusetts followed this very theory until he found he was condemning a lot of healthy animals; therefore he was obliged to change his policy and make retest. He now admits that the subcutaneous test is not always reliable.
 A Case i'm Point
 In connection with this theory of the federal department as stated by Dr. De Fossit, I will endeavor to show how this theory works out in actual practice. Herd No.8 tested in 1912, 1918, 1914 and 1915 with no
Connecticut western news., 1921-04-21

reactors tested in the spring of 1916 when 15 reacted. Retested in the fall of 1916 and every one of the re- actors passed. In fact the whole herd passed every yearly test until the spring of 1920, when 15 reacted, in cluding only three or four that re- acted before. The COW thought to be in the most advanced stages of tuberculosis was slaughtered immedi ately after the test and was thor oughly examined by three reliable and experienced veterinarians, and not a trace of tuberculosis could be found. In the fall of 1920 the re- maining IA reactors all passed the test perfectly and since then two have been slaughtered and thorough ly examined and not 8 trace of dis ease found. Here in one herd you have 30 reactors that, according to the statements issued by the bureau of animal industry should never be considered healthy. The manager of this farm writes that no case has been found in the herd, nor have they ever heard of a case of tuber-

Arguments Against Test
F. E. Simpson, Vermont

F. E. Simpson, Vermont
 The tubercu1in test with it's drastic laws and prohibitive edicts. it's con- Ricting theories and dangerous pos abilities constitutes the most mom- entous question that ever confronted the cattle-breeding world. This question, regardless of human opin- ions and preconceived prejudices, will never be definitely settled until it's settled right. Having studied this subject in it's broadest aspect in connection with inoculations in hu- mans for more than 20 years, the writer has collected a mass of valu- able data and will give few facts the veterinarians do not tell of.
 Herd No. 1-22 COWS imported in 1915 or 1916. They were officially tested and placed in barn said to have cost $75,000, where disinfect- ants were used every day. These COWS never came in contact with un- tested animals and were tested twice every year and all passed every test until the spring of 1918, when 21 reacted. The other COW was said to have been so badly diseased that she couldn't react.
 Herd No. 2-Started in the spring of 1918 with tested cattle. In the spring of 1919 two calves died and tho post-mortem revealed tuberculo- sis. The entire herd was then tested by the subcutaneous test and all of the calves reacted, but all of the older animals passed (on all but one). The opthalmic test was then applied and IA COWS reacted. Now which test was accurate in this case?
 Herd No. 3--Only the most feshy and healthy animals reacted. The post-mortem revealed in most cases no evidence of the disease to the practical farmers. However, the owner ordered one of the cows killed that had passed the test perfectly, and she was the only COW in the herd that gave absolute evidence of tuber- culosis.
 The results of herd No. 4 were the same as No. 8, only the nonAre- acting COW found diseased had been tested several times.
 Herd No. 5 passed the test, but the second test one year later, resulted in eight reactors These cattle nev- CT came in contact with other ami mals in any way, shape or manner during the year, and had always been healthy herd. Now would it be preposterous to presume that it would have continued healthy if it had never been tested?
