HERDS HAVE IXi ECTED COWS Assistant State A’eterinarian Con- denis Cattle for Tuberculosis — ItHHi Being Tested. C. M. Gardner of Portland, assist ant state veterinarian, has been In this community for several days in specting dairy cattle for tuberculosis Out of about 400 inspected bo far he has condemned approximately 10 per cent. The losses, however, have been confined to three herds, one los- nK 21 head out of 29. another 16 out of 20 and another In smaller pro- portion. lie expects to test about 700 In this vicinity and about 1000 altogether in the county. Mr. Gardner stated that the aver­ age loss throughout the state in dairy cattle is about 4 per cent. Taken as a whole the cows of this Immediate section are In good shape. The heavy losses in the throe particular herds brings the average far above that of the state, but the fact that the dis­ ease is confined to such few herds speaks well for conditions generally. The condition of the one herd In which 21 out of 29 were condemned was due. according to Mr. Gardner, to the fact that the owner had allow­ ed one infedted critter to mingle with the reet during the past two years. This, h* eave, goes to show how rapidly the disease will spread thus emphasizing the importance of dairymen using tho utmost precau­ tion, especially when they arc aware of tho fact that ono or more of their animals show traces of Infection. The owners of the condemned cat tie will have some recompense The state pays the unfortunate owner $25 for each grad* cow over two years old and $37.50 for each regts tered head over two years. They are shipped to Portland and furthei examined by tiie fcderul authorltee If they pass for beef the owner g<-tf the receipts of the sale In addition to the state pay; If not he gets In ad dition only the value of the hide Bandon's second annual C. tutau- I not only respond to. but must actual­ pia closes tonight with "An E. r-ing ize democracy and the actuality may m the Alps." an entertainment of be brought about by the subjugation songs and stories of quaint Switzer­ of personal fortune to the greater land. by Graus’ Alpine Yodlers.
