A COMPARISON OF THE TEMPERATURES OF 



HEALTHY AND TUBERCULOUS COWS. 



F. L. Russell. 



Beginning- the second of March, 1897, the temperature of six 

 of our tuberculous cows and of six other cows that were con- 

 sidered sound were taken three times a day for about forty days. 

 The temperatures were taken at 9 A. M., 12.30 and 4.30 P. M. 



We must regard the results as negative, as far as showing any 

 difference in temperature between well animals and those 

 slightly tuberculous, is concerned. In the following table the 

 summary of the observations is given. The succeeding tables 

 contain the record of the observations as made. 



THE AVERAGE HIGHEST AND LOWEST TEMPERATURE, THE GREATEST 

 VARIATION AND THE GREATEST DAILY VARIATION IN TEMPERA- 

 TURE OBSERVED IN SIX WELL AND SIX SLIGHTLY TUBERCULOUS 

 COWS DURING SIX WEEKS' TIME.
