REYNOLDS, Minnesota * Agricultural College.) i We do not encourage anyone to think that there is an easy, quick or sure method of eradicating infectious sbortion from a herd of cattle. Suc- cess usually involves a very consider able amount of work and- trouble, al- though the money expense is not large, It is a very good plan to keep two sires for breeding service in a valu- sble herd affected with this trouble. One sire should be used exclusively with infected or suspected animals and the other with those that are Quite certainly uninfected. This is un- questionably more effective than dis- Infection before and after service. Up-to-Date Methods.
