R0yine TuherculOsis

The results Of the excellent work
that is being done in Maine to keep
the percentage of tubercular cattle
at the lowest possible point, are en-
phasized on a hand made map OF
the United States showing the per-
centage Of bovine tuberculosis In
every county in the United States
for 124, which map has just been
received by H. M. Tucker, chief OF
the bureau Of animal industry OF
the State department Of agriculture.
The map was drawn and colored by
DIR. j. A. Herman, chief of the tuber-
cuiosis eradication division Of the
United States bureau of animal in
dustry.
It is shown that Maine with the
exception of three counties has one
per cent. or less of infected cattle.
The three exceptions are York and
Cumberland counties where the in
lection runs between three and seven
per cent, and Sagadahoc county
where there is an infection Of from
one to three per cent. With the ex-
ception of two counties in northern
Vermont, no other county but those
in Maine shows bovine infection un-
der seven per cent.
The southern states and the ma
jority of the western states where
there is plenty Of room for the cat
tie to Craze are similar to Maine in
having a very small percentage of
bovine tuberculosis. The heaviest
infection lover Is per cent? is in
Massachusetts,, Rhode Island, part of
Connecticut, one-third of New York,
one county in Oregon and large areas
in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and
northern Illinois.
