It is very encouraging to note that considerable improvement 

 'has taken place in Mr. Isenberg's herd in the last five months. 

 In January, 1913, a total of 470 animals were tested at Waialae 

 and 63 condemned, the percentage of diseased animals being 

 13.4%. This month a total of 421 animals were tested and 19 

 condemned, the percentage of diseased animals being 4.5, which 

 is a very great improvement. Under the efficient management 

 of the ranch at the present time, where thorough disinfection of 

 all barns is immediate, and absolute segregation and early 

 slaughter of all condemned animals is practiced, improvement 

 in the herd is bound to be rapid. Mr. Isenberg is to be congrat- 

 ulated on the consistent way in which he has fought this disease, 

 which was present to such an alarming extent in his herd four 

 years ago, and on the good results which are now being realized. 



I have been fortunate enough to be able to make post-mortem 

 examinations on four cows condemned on this test and have 

 found all affected with the disease to a greater or lesser extent. 

 The results of these examinations are as follows : 



One cow from Joe Gouviera's herd. The animal was in fine 

 condition ; the reaction was large and of a typical character. 

 Post-mortem lesions of the disease consisted of a few small 

 nodules in the bronco-esophagal glands ; all other organs in the 

 body clean. 



Three cows from Charles Lucas' dairy were killed at one of 

 the local slaughter houses, resulting as follows : 



No. 1. Condemned on the 17th and slaughtered on the 19th. 

 Swelling at point of inoculation still present. The presence of 

 the disease was shown by a few small nodules in the sub-lumbar 

 lymph glands ; all other organs in the body clean. 



No. 2. Swelling at point of inoculation still present ; retro- 

 pharyngeal glands contained a few small nodules ; diaphragm-
