A total of 158 head of dairy cattle were tested during the 

 month, out of which number 154 were passed and tagged and 4 

 condemned and branded. One of the above condemned cows 

 has already been slaughtered. 



Post-mortem examination was made at one of the local abat- 

 toirs on five cows recently condemned in one of the local dairies. 

 All presented lesions of tuberculosis. 



Following your suggestion to ascertain the efifect, if any, of a 

 subcutaneous injection of tuberculin on the intradermal method 

 of testing, an experiment was started, the results of which are 

 as follows : 



In this experiment nine cows were used. These cows had been 

 condemned in one of the local dairies on October 8, and had been 

 kept segregated ever since. These cows were first given the regu- 

 lar subcutaneous injection of 2 cc. of tuberculin followed by an 

 intradermal injection into the lower eyelid of four drops of 

 special tuberculin. 



An examination was made 24 hours after the injection and 

 every animal was showing a distinct reaction to the intradermal 

 test. Forty-eight hours after injection the swelling was still per- 

 sistent in six, but much reduced in size, and had entirely dis- 

 appeared in three. Seventy-two hours after injection all local re- 

 actions had disappeared. Three of the above animals showed a 

 marked constitutional reaction twenty-four hours after receiving 

 the double injection. 



While the above experiment is far too small for formulating 

 any definite conclusions, still the results seem to indicate that a 

 subcutaneous injection of tuberculin does not in any way obscure 

 the local reaction to the intradermal test, but tends to hasten its 

 appearance.
