"The Story Beautiful Climax of

Mickle Would
Save Children
(By J. D. Miclcle, Dairy and Food
Commissioner.)
The fact that tuberculosis in cattle
at times breaks out where it is least
expected and the fact that it is a
most dreaded disease in cattle as
well as in human beings, gives every
consumer of milk just cause for fear
unless he knows positively that the
herd of cows from which comes his
daily supply of milk is free from the
disease.
In view of the fact that, there is a
definite and accurate method by
which the presence of the disease In
cattle may be detected, one would
suppose that every dairyman supply
ing raw milk for city consumption
had taken the precaution to have his
herd examined and his customers sat
isfied that no tuberculosis exists. In
case any dairyman fails to take such
precaution, it would be just and prop
er for his patrons to discontinue the i
Fortunately we have a state law
that provides for state aid in the
work of eradication of bovine tuber
culosis. Under a law passed in 1913
the state veterinarian tests dairy
cows free of charge. State co-operation
goes still farther and provides
for partial remuneTation for cows de
stroyed on account of the disease.
Many dairymen have taken advantage
of this law and during ttie eighteen
months covered by the report of the
Sanitary Livestock Board, under
whose supervision the work is done,
13,321 cows were tested. Less than
7 per cent of these reacted to the
test, which Is a very good showing
in view of the fact that many of the
herds tested during the first eighteen
months of the operation of the law
were suspected herds.
While the state veterinarian has
many applications for tuberculin
testing on file now, he has promised

use of his milk,
consistent with present-day "safety i

authorities to compel such examina

fore milk can be sold to its citizens.
We find, however, that Portland
and Corvallls are the only cities In
Oregon that require freedom from
tuberculosis as a requisite to the sale
of milk, and no other city or town
seems to have made any effort to as
certain whether tuberculosis is pres

made application for the tuberculin
test, and we hope the smaller herds
will fall in line as the work pro
gresses. Because of the fact that It
takes as long to test a small herd as
it does for a large one, it is highly
desirable that several of the smaller
herd owners co-operate and combine
their herds in one barn or in barns
near each other, thus economizing
time for the veterinarian.
The dairies have improved a great
deal from a sanitary standpoint In
the last two years. If through a i
little co-operation with the state au

Notes Between
Bryan and Wilson
A true understanding of the state
of affairs which exists in the cabinet
and of the feeling between the Presi
dent and ex-Secretary of State Bryan
may better be understood from the
contents of the notes which the two
officials exchanged than through the
medium of the more or loss colored
newspaper accounts which have been
published in some of the papers of
the country. That the resignation of
the secretary will have a pronounced
effect upon Germany in impressing
them with the determination of the
United States to uphold the rights of
the neutrals is the belief of inaiiv of
the high officials.
The following notes passed between
the president and Secretary Bryan,
following Tuesday's cabinet meeting:
Bryan.
