tuberculosis with the yet unequalled
record for kennebec county of but
one diseased animal in the entire
number. For several weeks the State
and Federal Departments of Agri-
culture, with the cooperation of the
kennebec County Farm Bureau have
been examining the herds in what is
called the accredited herd work"
Already 200O have been tested in the
towns OF Ltchfeld, Monmouth, Win
throp. Readfield, and Fayette. The
diseased numbered "a and these have
been purchased by the State from the
owners at the appraised value and
destroyed. Next week the work will
be continued in Mount Vernon.
In the entire county there are some
$4,000 cattle of which it is estimated
that three-fourths will have received
the tuberculin test by the end of the
year City ordinances in Augusta,
Hallowel, and Watcrville provide
ttlaC Inllk ana cream SOlu III tneSe
cities shall be from tested COWS. In
the areas adjoining these munich
palities the testing is accomplished
without the aid of the Farm Bureau
by the State and Federal officials in
conjunction with the city authorities.
In the rural communities the Coun-
ty Farm Bureau paves the way for
the testers. The testing is entirely
voluntary on the part of the farmers,
but in increasing demand they are
asking for the free facilities provided
by the State and the Washington
government. Aside from a charge of
ten cents head to cover the trans
portation charges of the Farm Bur-
eau. there is no expense to the owner
of the herd. In Monmouth. Man.
chester. and East Winthrop even this
charge is taken from the owner by
the local Farm Bureau committees.
This is the first year that the work
has been undertaken in the rural
towns on such complete scale Close
to the cities the tuberculin test has
been employed for year or more
