CATTLE ARE TESTED
Many of Them Are Found
To Be Diseased
WORK OF AN INSPECTOR
Cows In Freeborn County Were
Reported Suffering With
Tuberculosis

Albert Lea, September 24.-Three
we'll Known farmers OF Freeboru coun-
ty, during the past few days, have
lost fifty seven head OF cattle. These
animals were condemned by DR.. r.
!. Smith, federal inspector for tuber-
culosiS eradication.
Last week Dr.. Smith went to the
farm Of Carl johnson, southwest OF
Conser, and tested his fine herd OF
grades. Out of tho forty four in the
herd, twenty-si head reacted.
This week he tested the Edwin
Nicholson herd of sixtytwo near
Emlnons in Mansfield township. EiSh :
teen Of these animals reacted, ten OF
which were pure bred Shorthorns.
At the Chris Nelson home in Alden
township thirteen Of herd of seven
teen showed they were effected by
the disease. ,..
These condemned cattle are tagged
by the doctor and Immediately be-
come property of the Federal gov
ernment The maximum price paid
to the farmer by the government is
$40 for the grade cattle and $l00 for
the pure bred animals.
Sent to Packing House
AS soon as the government takes
over the cattle they are sent to pack
ing houses where they are Slaughtered
and thoroughly inspected by federal
inspectors. Those affected but sllght-
ly are given a second inspection when
every part diseased is cut away. The
rest of the beef is pronounced At for
food. All animals badly affected are
tagged and are sent to the tankage
department where the whole carcass
is reduced to fertilizer.
Since August 13 Of last year Mr.
Smith has had 250 realtors among
the herds of Freeborn county.
He used what. is known as the
triple test When this test has been
applied to a herd, all animals that do
not react are absolutely free from
disease. The three tests used in this
triple test are: Intradermal. Oph-
thalmic and Subcutapeous. Hereto
fore, most herds received only the
Subcutaneous test.
Without doubt the time is coming
when every herd in the state will
have received the tuberculosis test
for no farmer will want to be classed
with the nom accredited herd owners
