 J. M. WhittIesey, commissioner of do- nestle animals and Dr. E. I. Smith. a veterinarian, discussed bovine tubercu- losis at the dairy tent during the aft ernoon. Both men talked in favor of extending the accredited herd work in Connecticut By this plan government and state officials join in inspecting dairy cattle for evidences of bovine tub erculosis. When animals react to the 1 tuberculine test they are destroyed and
 the owner is partly or completely recom- pensed from public funds for his loss. It was pointed out that human tuberculos-
 is is sometimes contracted from the bovine forms and that the public is deep | ly interested in obtaining pure milk Cows that have passed the tuberculin tests satisfactorily sell for more money
 untested cows. An effort is being made
 to stamp out bovine tuberculosis in Con
 necticut and the speakers sought to con vince dairymen present that there are
 decided advantages in owning accredited herds.
 The calf feeding demonstrations of
 Tuesday as well as the demonstrations
 in the production of sanitary milk were
 repeated Wednesday.
 Thousands of school children in Con necticut are now carefully watching their diet so they may obtain a blue star on
 their weight cards. Miss Dorothy Buck ley explained to the women guests at Farmers Week The extension service of the college weighs and measures children
 at schools and at public fairs Each child is given a card showing whal { r
 underweight or not and blue stars are
 attached to the cards of all children wlo
 meet the standards. Diets are recom-
 mended for undernourished children. Miss
 Buckley pointed out that many children
 from wealthy homes are undernourished
 through improper diets. Milk is the
 nearest approach to a perfect food for
 .children.
 The effect on children if given tubercu-
 lous milk was explained by Commission
 CT of Domestic Animals Whittlesey; who pointed out the dangers to human health
 from impure milk. Dairy products con
 tain food elements that are not contained l, in so-called substitutes and this increas- es the importance of keeping all dairy | products clean and pure.
 Mrs. NJ. E. Dakin told of the factors in developing sound bodies in children Proper foods fresh air, regular habits and exercise were some of the factors mentioned. Particularly in the case of
 rural children who must carry lunch basket to school the noon-day meal is important. A warm soup or other dish : than can be prepared at school is an aid to digestion.
