DIR. THOMPSON TESTING HERDS
FOR ST. LOUIS COUNTY CLUB.

The st. Louis County Club and
Farm Bureau has taken the first steps
in getting rid of contagious abortion
in cattle. A few days ago, DR.. j. E
Thompson of this city and chairman
Of the livestock committee Of the
County Club, volunteered TO test three
demonstration herds This was done
in the north end of the county Three
herds VIII also be tested IN the south
end Of the county
The owners Of these herds sign an
agreement put out by the Minnesota
Livestock Sanitary Board and promise
to follow simple rules of sanitation
and to separate the herd if necessary;
that it, keep the reactors on one side
of the barn or in a different barn en-
tirely from the cows that do not re-
act to the test. The owners also
promise not to bring any animals into
the herd unless they have already been
tested for abortion One of the most
important rules to follow is that two
pastures must be maintained, one for
the diseased herd and one for the
clean herd.
Contagious abortion causes consid-
cradle losses TO owners of cattle and
it amounts TO millions of dollars in
this state alone. So far no law gov
ern this disease and the County Club
hopes to fight this disease before il
gets a greater foothold in this county.
The losses from tuberculosis is small
compared with the losses from abor-

The contract according TO the law,
