xxvi BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [Pub. Doc. No. 4.] 



health, the tuberculin test and arguments pro and con, milk 

 from tuberculous cows ; glanders ; laboratory ; compensation 

 for animals destroyed, history of the law of compensation 

 in Massachusetts, arguments for and against compensation,' 

 laws of the several States on compensation, recommenda- 

 tions. Accompanying the report ©f the commissioners is 

 an appendix containing the following : report of the Wor- 

 cester Convention of the commission, the local inspectors 

 and others ; report of the Convention at the Department 

 of Agriculture, Washington ; the several orders, regulations 

 and forms prescribed by the commission ; and a tabulated 

 list of all tuberculin tests, showing order issued thereon, 

 and, if condemned, the post mortem. 



A Resolve of the Legislature of 1895 provides for the 

 printing of five thousand additional copies of the annual 

 report of the Board of Cattle Commissioners, to be distril)- 

 uted by the State Board of Agriculture. It seems unwise, 

 therefore, to include the entire report in this volume, and 

 the pages devoted to the ' ' laws of the several States on com- 

 pensation" and to the " Appendix " are omitted. 



WM. R. SESSIONS, 



Secretary of the State Board of Agriculture. 

 Boston, March, 1895.
