COLLECJK IJELLE SARCASTIC, 3701C. 



The sire of this cow was Maurice Clothildo, 17038, ami her dam was Belie Sar- 

 castic, ^.'J.O.'J!*. She was Ijorn April 13, IS!)4. Siic iH'loiifjs to the llolstein breed. 

 Her first reaction occurred March 31, lS!)i), and her test records are as follows: 



March 30, 1899, before injection, 100.4, U9.0, 100.5, 101.0, 99.0, 99.1, 100.8, 100.4,. 



100.2. 101.0. 



March 31, IS!)!), after injection, 102.3, 102.0, 100.8, 101.2, 103.1, 103.5, 102.6, 101.2, 

 102.4, 100.4. 100.7. 



October 9, 18!)9, before injection, 98.5, !)8.0, 99.2, itH.O, !t!).5, 9!l.(). 99.4, 99.8, 100.6,. 

 OctQber 10, 1899, after injection, 99.4, 99.8, 99.0, 100.2, 100.4, 98.7, 99.8, 99.4, 99.4^ 



100.3, 99.8. 



March .30, 1900, before injection, 102.0, 98.0, 100.1, 100.3, 100.4, 99.7. 



Marcli 31, 1900, after injection, 100.4, 99.8, 9i).8, 99.9, 100.0, 98.3, lOO.C, 100.1, 99.6,^ 

 99.1, 100.9. 



Only one response to the test is apparent. Since the time of this reaction 

 there has been no evidence of tuberculosis. On Marcli 28, 1898, the normal tempera- 

 tures of this cow were 100.4, 104.7, 104.2, 102.4, 102.5. 103.9, 102.8, 102.8, lOl.G. 

 No visible diseased condition was present at the takinj,^ of these temperatures. She is- 

 a very nervous cow, but this does not account for the above hij^h temperatures. 



The examination of the excreta from this cow has never revealed the presence of 

 tubercle bacilli. 



She is still alive and looks well. 



Collej^e Belle has sometimes had periods of flesh reduction, but I am inclined to- 

 think that it was due to the care rather than to any diseased condition. 



Of her calves, College Belle Sarcastic's Boy, born August 13, 1897, and a calf born in 

 1898. have been tested, but neither has given any response to tuberculin. 



COLLEGE DAME LE BROCQ II, 100522. 



This cow lias for her sire Lily's Nero, 19041, and her dam, Dame Le Brocq, 54075. 

 She was born March 27, 1894, and is a Jersey. Her test records are: 

 August 19, 1890, before injection, 101.0, 100.7, 101.6, 101.5. 

 August 20, 1896, after injection, 100.8, 101.2, 101.6, 101.4, 101.6, 102.6, 102.9. 10.3.4,. 



102.7, 102.6, 102.0. 



April 22, 1S07, before injection, 100.0, 100.7. 101.1, 100.4, 101.2. 



April 23, 1897, after injection, 101.0, 100.0, 101.6, 101.3, 102.4, 104.6, 104.4, 104.8,. 

 104.0. 



October 13, 1897, before injection, 101.6, 100.9, 101.7, 101.5, 102.0, 102.2, 101.6. 



October 14, 1897, after injection. 103.1, 101.9, 102.4, 103.3, 104.0, 104.5, 105.3, 105.8,. 

 105.6, 105.8. 105.1. 



March 31, 1898, before injection. 98.7, 99.7, 98.7, 99.9, 98.5, 99.5, 99.1, 99.9, 99.1, 99.3. 



April 1, 18!J8, after injection, 100.1, 99.3, 98.8, 98.7, 98.9, 98.9, 100.2, 101.2, 101.6, 



100.8, 101.2, 102.6. 



At no time did this cow give olT tubercle bacilli in her milk, urine or feces so far 

 as the various tests demonstrated. 



Her calves, College Dora, 125894, born May 6, 1896, and another born December 24,, 

 1897, were both tested, but failed to respond. 



College Dame Le Brocq II was killed August 8, 1898, and subjected to post-mortem 

 examination. There were a few large tubercles scattered through the lungs. The 

 posterior mediastinal gland was affected and a lymphatic gland found near the anus- 

 was also affected, otherwise the tissues were apparently free from the disease. 



COLLEGE WHITE 150Y. 



His sire was Volunteer, 101205; his dam College Duchess IV, vol. 35, p. 772. He 

 was born March 29, 1894, and was a Shorthorn. He was condemned August 19, 1896, 

 and has the following test records: 



August 19, 1896, before injection, 101.0, 101.4, 101.3, 101.4. 



August 20, 1896, after injection, 104.2, 104.0, 103.5, 103.3, 103.1, 103.1, 103.3, 104.4, 

 103.6, 103.5, 103.6. 



April 22, 1897, before injection, 100.7, 101.2, 100.8, 100.9, 100.6. 



April 23, 1897, after injection, 100.2, 100.5, 101.0, 100.8, 100.0, 100.6, 101.2, 101.2, 

 100.1. 



This animal was slaughtered May 11, 1897, shortly after the last test. After the 

 most careful examination, no trace of tuberculosis could be found.
