EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS.

Of the cows giving the reaction more than once, we have been unable to find one 

 free from tuberculosis upon post-mortem examination. Not all, it is true, of these 

 have been slaughtered and examined. Tliere still remain alive College Victoria C 

 and Bolle Sarcastic which have reacted more than once to tuberculin. 



Of those wliich have been tested more than once and have reacted only once to 

 tuberculin, Cara and College White Boy have been killed, and both of them were found 

 free from tuberculosis so far as the eye could detect upon post-mortm examination. 

 College Victoria B, College Rosa Bonheur, College Belle Sarcastic are still alive and 

 we are unable to prophesy whether they will remain free from tuberculosis or not. 

 Animals which have been tested once and reacted once are excluded from this 

 summary. 



So far as this table goes, it indicates that one response to tuberculin cannot 

 always be taken as a safe criterion in determining tlie presence of tuberculosis. 



Our next table will note the presence or absence of tubercle bacilli in sputum, milk, 

 urine and feces of the several animals. The examinations were microscopical and 

 inoculative. Guinea pigs were the animals used for inoculation. 



— = Negative results, no tubercle bacilli found. 



— = Positive results, tubercle bacilli found. 

 = No examination.
