DAIRY HERDS PASSING TEST
Animal Officially Listed aa Free From
Tuberculosis Copies Available

(Prepared by the United Bute Depart
ment of Agriculture.)

States that on July 1 bad been offlclal-
l ly accredited aa free from tuberctiloaia

States Soldiers' Home In the District
of Columbia. The Holsteln-Frieslan
dairy herd at this Institution Includes
184 registered pure-bred cows and la
one of the oldest accredited herds In
the United States.
Control with a view to the eventual
eradication of tuberculosis In cattle Is
being accomplished by systematic ef
forts of federal and state authorities
In co-operutlon with cuttle breeders
associations and herd owners.
A definite plan was adopted In 1017
whereby herds of cattle passing the
prescribed number of official tuberculin
teata should be certified or accredited
as free from tuberculosis.
An accredited herd Is one that has
successfully passed two annual or
three semiannual tuberculin tests ap
plied by regularly employed veterinary
Inspectors of the bureau of animal In
dustry or of the state where co-operative
work Is conducted, and has other
wise complied with the regulations
governing the work.
If the status of any of the accred
ited herds should be changed, prompt
notice Is to be given to the officials of
the vnrlous states. . Additional lists
are to be published from time to time.
FOOT-AND-MOUTH AILMENTS
New Outbreak Occur In England
Which May 8pread to United
8Utea Keep Sharp Watch.
(Prepared by the United State Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
Public officials, veterinarians and
stock owners should be on guard to re
port immediately any cases of. foot-and-month
disease that may appear in
this country, according to a statement
by Dr. J. 1L Mohler, chief of the bureau
Of animal Industry, United States de
partment of agriculture. Doctor Moh
ler .said :
"Recent cable news announces an
ontbrenk of foot-and-mouth disease In
England which brings to mind the se
rious outbreaks of that disease which
have been experienced in the United
States.
"Foot-and-mouth disease has appear
ed In England from time to time, as
it has done hi the United States. In
both countries the past outbreaks have
been promptly controlled and eradicat
ed and no cases have occurred in the
United States since 1910. Neverthe
less the disease makes Its appearance
at irregular intervals. In this country
we may expect Its return at any time,
nlthough every precaution Is being tak
en by the federal authorities to prevent
the introduction of the disease, espe
cially from the present outbreak in
England. So long as communication
A New Outbrekk of Foot-and-Mouth
. Disease Haa Occurred In England.
la maintained with other countries the
danger Of the Introduction of tie dis
ease must be acknowledged.
. "It Is of the greatest Importance that,
a sharp watch be maintained by all offi
cials, by practicing veterinarians, and
by stock owners in order that the very
first cases may be discovered and the
spread of the disease prevented. It
would be a great misfortune to the
United States If foot-and-mouth dls-
I ease should occur under present condl
I tlons or become firmly established In
the country, as has been the case in
1 many of the stock-raising nations of
continental Europe. 1 Early discovery
of the disease followed by prompt elim
ination of Infected centers, is the only
way to prevent the United States from
becoming permanently Infected." '

High-Water Mark
"High-water mark" is the line ordi
narily reached by the sea at high tide.
The general high-water mark of the
sea Is taken as the line at the limit
of the rise of the medium tides and
that of a body of fresh water la
which there is no ebb and flow tide, la
taken at the limit of the soil that la
so affected by the water as to be
marked with a nature and vegetation
distinct from that 'of the banks. ,
Platinum and 8ulphurlo Add.
Sulphuric acid is made from sir, wa
ter and the fumes from burning auk'
phur. These are all cheap, common
materials, but they won't unite with
out strenuous provocation ordinarily.
Platinum furnishes a mild provocation,
the mere presence of a trace of It
causing the oxygen, water and sulphur
to join hands chemically, and the klng
of chemicals Is born.
