Tubercular Test Indemnities
The State Department of Agricul-
ture, through the State Veterinarian,
is calling attention to the fact that
in any herd where tubercular cattle
have been removed and indemnity
paid, that unless the owner sees to it
that he keeps his herd tested so as to
avoid a recurrence of the disease IN
his herd, no indemnity may be paid.
If the owner wilfully exposes his herd
by introducing INFESTED cattle and
| leaving them there to infect the rest
of his cattle he may also forfeit his
| indemnity. The law provides indem-
| nifty for those owners who consistent
ly keep on testing their cattle.
