tGeneral tuberculosis. 
^Excessive tuberculosis. 
§Emaciated. 
The number of cattle tested by our department at the various in- 
stitutions was 796 head, of which 267 reacted to the test, being a fraction 
under 34 per cent. There were also fifteen head suspicious, which added 
to the 267 reacting, makes a total of 282 head, being about 35.5 per cent. 
Sixty-six head owned by individuals supplying milk to the inmates of the 
Soldiers' Home at Marshalltown were tested, seven of this number reacted 
to the test, about 11 per cent. All animals reacting to the test showed 
tubercular lesions, and some of the suspicious animals were found dis- 
eased, a great many in an advanced stage. Out of the 135 cattle slaugh- 
tered from the Independence herd, including those suspicious, forty-seven 
were tanked, making a fraction under 34 per cent of those slaughtered. 
Among this number was one cow with extensive lesions, of which we have 
preserved a specimen, as shown in the following picture. 
Of the 195 head tested at Mt. Pleasant, seventy-three reacted to the 
test, about 39 per cent. Seventeen was found diseased in a generalized 
condition, making about 23 per cent of the animals slaughtered.
