Aid Eradication

to Regulation of Ac-
credited Herds.

point where the government Is ready
% accredit areas that are almost COM
pletely free from the disease.
Acting Secretary of Agriculture Z.
w. Pugsley mas just signed an amend
nent to the federal regulation having
to do with the eradication of tuber-
:ulosis among cattle N which provision
IS made for classifying certain areas
where the disease has been practically

Work Shows Progress.
Secretary Pugsley's announcement
Of the new regulation, which is now
IN effect, states that there are many
counties in various states where the
cattle plague has been practically
eradicated, and many others In which
cleanup work has gone far. As a re-
suit, these areas will be recognized
and freed from certain inhibitions
which are necessary in other terri
tories
Last winter the United States Live
Stock Sanitary association adopted the
provisions contained in these new reg
alations. They have also been adopted
by various cattle breeders associa-
tons. The bureau of animal industry,
in cooperation with state live stock
sanitary authorities, will carry them
out, maintaining guarantees to protect
designated areas from the introduc-
ton of INFESTED animals from other
counties or states.
"Under the amended provisions a
county may be designated as a modi-
fed accredited area when a complete
test of all cattle In the area shows
less han one-half of | per cent to be
reactors-that is, affected with tuber-
culosis," says the acting s~ecretary's
announcement. "Those few herds in
which infected snimals were found
will be quarantined and annot be re-
tested within less than sixty days
from the date Of the original test.
"Once an area is put into this modi-
fed accredited classification, no cattle
can be brought in unless from an
accredited herd or after having passed
a satisfactory tubercul!n test How,
ever, under certain conditions they
may be brought In for slaughter or for
feeding and grazing"
Washington Gives Rules.
According to the announcement
from Washington, when an area Is des-
ignated by the cooperating state and
federal authorities as a modified ac-
credited area, II will rensain In this
classification for three years. provided
there is no indication, through ami
mails slaughtered or in other ways, that
the percentage OF tuberculosis does not
exceed one-haif of l per cent at any
time. II 1t Is found that l per cent
or reacts, all cattle must be re-
tested; II the infection Is between
one-half of l per cent and l per cent
only infected herds must be retested,
and when the percentage of reactors
Is reduced below one-half of 1 per cent
the area must be classed as a modified
accredited area.

Liberal Feed of Wheat
Is Favored for Poultry

Wheat is good feed for poultry, and
should be literally fed, instead OF 9th
er grains, while the price is low.
There is always a lot of shrunken, I'm.

thrashing time which can be fed
Profitably to chickens and other fowls.
1t is always much more profitable TO
feed inferior wheat to hens and mar
