TUBERCULIN TESTS
State Has Only Enough Funds For
 Re-tcsting Animals This Year.

Hartford, July 1S.-It is only by limiting the activities of this depart
 ment fin the matter of applying the tuberculin test to cattle to the re-test-
 ing of animals that Cattle Commis-
 soner James M. Whittlesey will have
 available funds until the next session of the general assembly in 1925. The limitation which his unexpended bal ance suggests will not be absolute
 however. At the last session of the general assembly Commissioner Whit tlesey was given an appropriation of
 $200,000 to meet all the expenses of the tuberculin test for the following two years. This appropriation was supplemented by an appropriation of s3o,O0o by the board of control tp meet an emergency. There are 120,- 900 cattle in the state and on July i, of this year little over one quarter of the animals had been subjected to the tuberculin test. The exact num- Der was 31,764 and they represented 1,405 herds. The average price paid the state for a condemned animal was s62.
 At the present time the commits sioner has five hundred applications from the owners of cattle for the test ing of their herds but owing to the fact that his entire staff of veteri- narians are busy on the work of re- testing he is unabel to give attention to all these applications. All the cities in the state are now sJpplied with milk from tuberculin- tested herds or with milk that has been pa st eurized
