However, the department believés that cattle dealers whe. do not favor tuberculosis eradi- cation are influenced by selfish motives and do ‘not represent the true spirit of livestock owners and others interested in healthier and beétter domestic animals. Althopgh many states have suitable laws to protéct farmers and other I stock' owners against traffic in tuber- culogis ‘animals, the practice continues in,some localities. Here is an instance: In Massachusetts, a purebred Holstein cow, valued at $100, was disposed of as a reactor; but instead of being slanghtered or segregated, she was later 50ld ‘to'a state institution for $300. The herd at’ this-institution had previously been free of tuberculosis. It was being improved by. the purchase of new ani- majs, and every available precaution was taken to see that they were healthy, Recently this herd was retested and thres reactors were found, one of which was ‘the cow in question. All showed well-marked lesions of tuberculosis on post-mortem examination. There is no law or regulation in Mass- achusetts preventing the sale or requir- ing the segregation of reactors. A few cattle dealers léd the opposition to = bill before the last gemeral court pro- viding for the comtrol and sale of ani- mals reacting to the tuberculosis test. Owing to the importance of eradicat- ing tuberculosis from live stock, the Department of Agriculture is furnishing to the.public full information regard- ing the nature of the disease and the way to get rid of the disease.
