  of

  port 
  any 
  new 
  cases, 
  and 
  the 
  result 
  of 
  treatment. 
  Since, 
  I 
  have 
  

   been 
  informed 
  that 
  those 
  affected 
  were 
  getting 
  better, 
  and 
  no 
  new 
  

   cases 
  have 
  developed. 
  

  

  Infectious 
  Mammitis. 
  

  

  One 
  outbreak 
  of 
  this 
  disease 
  occurred 
  in 
  a 
  herd 
  of 
  fourteen 
  

   milch 
  cows, 
  of 
  which 
  six 
  were 
  affected 
  during 
  a 
  period 
  of 
  four 
  

   weeks. 
  From 
  the 
  specimens 
  of 
  milk 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  affected 
  cow^s, 
  

   which 
  were 
  sent 
  to 
  Dr. 
  V. 
  A. 
  Moore 
  for 
  a 
  bacteriological 
  exami- 
  

   nation, 
  there 
  was 
  found 
  the 
  streptococcus. 
  I 
  informed 
  the 
  owner 
  

   that 
  the 
  cause 
  was 
  due 
  to 
  a 
  specific 
  germ, 
  and 
  that 
  it 
  was 
  danger- 
  

   ous 
  unless 
  Avashed 
  off; 
  therefore 
  the 
  milker 
  should 
  wash 
  his 
  hands, 
  

   and 
  udders 
  of 
  the 
  cows 
  in 
  a 
  corrosive 
  sublimate 
  solution 
  (1-2000) 
  

   prior 
  to 
  milking 
  ; 
  also 
  that 
  the 
  barn 
  must 
  be 
  thoroughly 
  disinfected. 
  

  

  Since 
  my 
  visit, 
  the 
  owner 
  has 
  not 
  reported 
  any 
  new 
  case. 
  The 
  

   affected 
  ones 
  improved. 
  

  

  Tuberculosis. 
  

   Two 
  cases 
  of 
  selling 
  milk 
  from 
  supposed 
  tuberculous 
  animals 
  

   were 
  investigated. 
  In 
  the 
  first 
  instance, 
  there 
  was 
  only 
  one 
  cow, 
  

   but 
  in 
  the 
  second, 
  there 
  were 
  ninetv-two 
  cows, 
  out 
  of 
  which 
  thirtv- 
  

   nine 
  reacted 
  to 
  the 
  tuberculin 
  test. 
  This 
  test 
  was 
  made 
  by 
  me 
  

   under 
  the 
  direction 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Board 
  of 
  Health, 
  and 
  the 
  reacting 
  

   ones 
  were 
  put 
  in 
  quarantine 
  by 
  that 
  board. 
  The 
  temperature
