I missed it, gentlemen; I want to say that when I sent my 

 cows which had been re-acters in to the stock yards, I had a spe- 

 cial butcher and not one of those cows had tuberculosis. Badly 

 as I felt about that, I am glad today because I believe that those 

 cows were sacrificed for the good of every member of the Illinois 

 Dairymen's Association.
