Fighting Animal Tuberculosis.

Tn April, 22,492 cattle were tested for tuberculosis in the tuberculosiseradication work of the bureau of animal Industry, United States department of agriculture. This number was 8,494 more than were tested in the preceding month. The tuberculosis control measures are to be applied, in co-operation with state authorities and live stock owners, along three lines—eradication of tuberculosis from purebred herds, eradication from circumscribed areas, and eradication 'from swine. In the beginning efforts are being concentrated on eradication of the disease from purebred herds.
