came to the conclusion that it is far cheaper and more effective to 

 eradicate bovine tuberculosis than to build hospitals, sanatoriums, 

 Pasteurizing plants and surgical clinics to deal with the countless 

 numbers of scrofulous (tuberculous) children which annually re- 

 ceive the infection through cows' milk. With this fact before us 

 there can be no doubt that we are working along the right lines ; 

 that is, lines which were adopted here at least four years before 

 the foreign authorities ( England ) were forced, by pressure of 

 public opinion, to adopt exactly the same measures as have been 

 pursued here for that length of time. 



The above is a concise resume of the present bovine tubercu- 

 losis situation in this county and as such is recommended for pub- 

 lication. 



I have also under preparation a series of short articles dealing 

 with various subjects of general interest to the live stock, dairy 

 and poultry producers of the Territory, as, for instance — "Hog 

 Cholera, its Curative and Preventive Treatment," "Eye Worm 

 in Chickens," "Heart Worm in Dogs," and "Cerebro Spinal Men- 

 ingitis or Blind Staggers in Horses and Mules." If the same 

 meet with the approval of the Board it is recommended that the 

 same be published and that a number of reprints of each article 

 be secured for the future use of this division in furnishing infor- 

 mation on the subject in question. 



Very respectfully, 



Victor A. Norgaard, 

 Territorial Veterinarian.
