MEANS Or SPREADING 1T. B."
Several Causes Responsible for Preva.
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 unp~asteurized 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 lnroads Of this disease by reducing
TO the minimum danger from the
