Sir : — I have the honor to submit the following report for the 

 month of November, 1917: 



TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL. 



The following dairy cattle were tested during the past month : 



. Tested Passed. Condemned.

Mrs. C. M. Cooke 11 11 



E.W.Jordan 2 2 



C.W.Lucas 1 1 



The above tabulated list gives a total of 178 head tested, out 

 of wdiich number 167 were passed and 11 condemned and brand- 

 ed. 



Besides the above testing, post mortem examinations were 

 made at the local abattoirs on 113 head of cattle condemned for 

 tuberculosis. Lesions of varying extent were found in all ani- 

 mals, but in only one animal were they extensive enough to war- 

 rant the condemnation of any parts ; in this case both fore quar- 

 ters were condemned as unfit for human consumption. 



Quite a large number of cases of open tuberculosis of the lungs 

 were found among these animals. Such animals have acted rs 

 "spreaders," which accounts for the large percentage of infected 

 animals found in some localities. 



All the above condemned animals were appraised according to 

 the provisions of Act 121, and the owners have received their full 

 amount of compensation.
