MEANS OF SPREADING IT. B."
Several Causes Responsible for Preva.
I. lence. Of Dread Disease Among
Cattle Herds.

How did tuberculosis get such a
hold in my herd?" is a question that
has puzzled many a stockman. The
following causes have been found by
experts to be largely responsible for
the prevalence of tuberculosis among
cattle:
Bringing INFESTED cattle into the
herd.
Common drinking tank.
Common feeding troughs or pasture.
Nosing at fence lines or breaking
through fences.
Poorly ventilated barns or sheds
Feeding of unpasteurized milk from
infected cows to calves or hogs.
Unburned dead animals eaten or
scattered by hogs or dogs.
Breeding to Infected bull or serving
cows outside tested herds.
There are other ways In which the
disease can be spread. but undoubted-
ly stockmen can do much to check
the inroads of this disease by reducing
to the minimum danger from the
sources mentioned.

shipments from Florida and other
states in the southern tier. Pink to-

sometimes from Texas and Tennessee,
whereas ripe tomatoes go to nearby
