NATION-WIDE CAMPAIGN TO ERADICATE
TUBERCULOSIS FROM OUR DAIRY HERDS
Holsteins at United States Soldiers' Home, Washington, D. C.-First Herd j
to Be Accredited Tuberculosis Free.
(Prepared by the United Stales Depart-
ment of Agriculture )
It is hard to find any better food
than good milk, yet If the milk used
;ln the daily diet is not good It Is a
constant source of danger. If the milk
;ls produced by cows that have tuber-
culosis—and there are thousands of
them in this country—and Is not pas-
teurized, the germs of the dreaded
disease may be transmitted to humans.
This is the reason consumers as well
as producers of milk should be deeply
fInterested in and give their support
to what the Dnlted States department
of agriculture is doing to stamp out
• tuberculosis In dairy cattle.
The plan is to certify officially all
herds the owners of which have com-
plied with specified requirements
which show beyond doubt that the
animals are free from tuberculosis. In
.December, li)17, the plan was adopted
jointly by the live stock sanitary offi-
cials of all the states in the Union
(and by the federal department. It
consists of giving the tuberculin test
to every animal in the herd at least
twice a year, at the end of which time,
If nil the animals are found free from
the disease, the herd is accredited tu-
;berculo8ls free.
Plan Gains Wide Interest.
The Idea and advantages of accred-
ited herds of cattle found to be free
from tuberculosis gained wide pub-
licity and popularity among cattle
breeders from the start. They appre-
idate the fact that a certificate of ap-
proval Indorsed by the state in which
the herd belongs, and found indorsed
by the government, gives prospective
ipurchasers confidence that the animals
are free from the disease and they
are In consequence willing to pay a
considerable advance in price for such
animals.
During t}je first half year the plan
^has been lnfiperatlon, 296 herds, com-
!prising 9,284 cattle, were fully accred-
ited as free from tuberculosis, and
1,462 herds having 35,053 cattle passed
one successful test In preparation for
certification. In addition, 4,622 herds,
both purebred and grade, totaling 88,-
002 animals, were under supervision
tor the eradication of tuberculosis.
Each month a lnrge number of addi-
tional herds are taken under super-
vision.
Many States Co-operating.
Tuberculosis eradication work Is now
being carried on in more than 401
states iu co-operation with the state
live stock sanitary officials and stocl;
owners. Joint agreements between the
state and the federal department of
agriculture governing the application
for the tuberculin test, and the han-
dling of the herd, are forwarded to
each owner Interested In having his
herd freed of the disease, or In hav-
ing It accepted as officially accred-
lled.
It has been found by very cnreful ex-
periments and praiilcal work that tu-
berculosis cannot Ive detected to any |
great extent among animals by a physi-
cal examination. Herds which seem
apparently healthy may bo extensively
affected with tuberculosis. The most |
reliable method for definitely ileter-
mining whether tuberculosis exists is i
the tuberculin test applied by a trained
operator. Tuberculin, while It is the
most, accurate diagnostic agency known
to science, Is safe only In the hands of j
n trained and skillful operator who
is acquainted with its limitations and
with the symptoms it produces in the j
animals to which It Is applied.
All Purebred Herds to Be Tested.
It is proposed to carry on the ac
credited herd plan until practically all
purebred herds of cattle In the United
States are under state and federal I
supervision for the eradication of tu-
berculosis. Thus It will be possible
for the owner in one state to purchase j
cyttle in another state with the assur-
ance that he will receive animals that
may be Introduced Into his herd with |
perfect safety, so far as tuberculosis
is concerned. Under former condi
tlons, many such animals proved to be i
a menace In place of an asset.
In addition to the accredited herd
plan, the eradication of tuberculosis
from live stock will be carried on in
circumscribed areas comprising one oi
more counties. The disease will be
eliminated from cattle and swine in]
such areas, and the campaign extend-
ed until It takes in entire states.
In order that the work may progress
satisfactorily, it Is necessary that live
stock owners co-operate to the fullest
extent. The success of the movement
for eradicating tuberculosis rests upon
the live stock owners of the country to
a greater degree than ou any othet
force; whenever they are ready anc
willing to "get behind" the work, sue
cess is bound to follow.
ARGUMENT STARTED A
BOY IN HOG RAISING
Wanted to Convince Neighbor
Could Make Big Gains.
(concentrates; second, good health of
the pig, due to great variety of feed j
and sanitary conditions of the lot andjl
sleeping quarters; third, the pig con-
sumed a large amount of forage, such I
as rape, thus reducing the amount of |
high-priced feeds."
(Cheap Cost of Production Due to Three
Things—High Protein Content of
Concentrates, Good Health
and Sanitation.
((Prepared ky the United States Depart-
ment of Agriculture.)
An argument with a neighbor caused
iSamael Evans of Clay county, Indi-
ana, to Join a pig club In order that
'he might prove his point that a pig
icould make an average dally gain of
•over one pound. He won his point with
a good margin, for his pig gained on
an average of two pounds a day for a
■period of 92 days, and as a result of
ihts experience Samuel has acquired the
necessary knowledge to enable him to
tttart in the hog-ralslng business along
right lines. He says: "I learned
tUot If a boy wants something decided-
ly Interesting he should by all means
.get a pig and get Into the game (mean-
ing a pig club). When the contest is
over he will say that he has learned
something that he never knew before
land probably will never forget, be-
cause he has learned It by experience.
Samuel's pig, which was o Duroc-
Jersey, weighed 58 pounds at the be-
ginning of th« contest and 243 at the
.end. It gained 184 pounds in 92 days,
*>r two pounds a day. Tho cost of food
iwas $9.80, or 5 cents a pound gain.
j The value of tbe pig at the end of the
icontest was $40.17, the profit being
($28.87.
"On account of the hot weather," the
boy says, 'T kept my pig a few days
after the contest ended, and when I
butchered him he weighed 267 pounds
on foot and 227% pounds when dressed.
He dressed out 85 per cent. I received
25 cents a pound, which made me a
total of $56.87.
"1 figured that the cheap cost of the
production was due to three things:
First, the high protein content of the
FATTEN BEEF CATTLE CHEAP,
Farmer Who Raises His Own Feedj
Has Decided Advantage Over
Professional Feeder.
One of the chief advantages of feed-
ing a small number of animals Is that
of getting a better class of feeders.
The fanner who makes beef from his
own corn, which he grows on his own
land and under ordinary favorable |
conditions, can fatten beef cattle I
cheaper than any professional feeder
in the business.
