ACCREDITED TUBERCULOSIS-FREE HERDS. 



The movement to establish and maintain a list of herds of pure- 

 bred cattle officially accredited as being free from tuberculosis has 

 met ^Yith wide favor among herd OAvners and is spreading rapidly. 

 The plan, in brief, is to test the cattle vrith tuberculin at the request 

 of the owner, to eliminate any reacting animals either by slaughter 

 or by following prescribed sanitary measures, to repeat the test at 

 prescribed intervals, and to list as tuberculosis-free accredited herds 

 all herds entitled to that distinction. Official certificates are issued 

 to the owners of such herds. Two lists of accredited herds have 

 been comjnled and printed. Up to April 1, 1919, a total of 782 herds, 

 containing 12,082 purebred and 6,939 grade animals had been fully 

 accredited, and C,535 herds comprising 39,558 purebred and 57,085 

 grade animals had been listed as having passed one test. 



CATTLE SLAUGHTERED AND INDEMNITY PAID. 



October 1, 1918, funds became available to the bureau for the pay- 

 ment of indemnity for tuberculous animals slaughtered in the work 

 of eradication. Indemnity was paid partly by States and partly by 

 the Federal Government. The accompanying table gives statistics 

 of cattle slaughtered, appraisal, indemnity, salvage, etc.
