 Tuberculosis Control. 



The work in this line was confined to the testing and examina- 

 tion of one cow for Mr. J. H. Cummings. 



A post-mortem was made on a grade Jersey heifer condemned 

 at Waialae Ranch November 13, 1914. Lesiom: Right retro- 

 pharyngeal lymph gland greatly enlarged and filled with tuber- 

 cles the size of lead shot. No other lesions were discovered. 



The annual test for 1914 has been brought to a close and the 

 results, as a whole, are exceedingly gratifying. The total num- 

 ber of tests made during the year amounts to 7231, which is over 

 two thousand mere than last jear. Out of this number 151 head 

 have been condemned and branded, and of these more than one 

 hundred have been slaughtered, while the remaining ones are 

 segregated and are being slaughtered as rapidly as possible. 



The percentage of diseased animals found in the dairy herds 

 during the year 1914 is 2.08%. which is a reduction of 1.81%. 

 or almost one-half of the amount of disease found in 1913 which 

 must be considered a long ste^ toward the goal of total eradica- 

 tion.
