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
