 animals imported for breeding purposes shall be only received 

 in the State when accompanied by a certificate from a reliable 

 source, showing such animal to be free from tuberculosis after 

 applying the most approved method of giving the test known to 

 modern science, the tuberculin test. 



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That we feel the great 

 importance to every owner of dairy cattle in this State, of hav- 

 ing his herd healthy and strong and especially free from tuber- 

 culosis; and we therefore recommend that each individual 

 owner of dairy cattle, for his own interests, and the interests of 

 those with whom he may deal, take such necessary action to 

 eradicate the same, if his herd is affected; and give such care to 

 his herd as will effecually prevent its inocculation. 



LIVE STOCK COMMISSIONERS. 



BE IT RESOLVED, That this Association earnestly en- 

 dorse the work of the Illinois State Board of Live Stock Com- 

 missioners for their efficient, courageous and able manner of 

 treating and handling the various diseases of live stock ; and we 

 call attention to the fact that such desirable results have been 

 attained by reason of the character and ability of the officers in 

 whom have been vested the power and responsibility. 



BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That it is the sense of 

 this Association that said Commission should be vested with 

 power and have full control of all live stock matters, and should 

 have sufficient funds to fully protect the interests of all the 

 people, and sufficient employees to carry out all necessary laws 

 and regulations. 



PURE FOOD COMMISSIONER. 



BE IT RESOLVED, That this Association endorse and 

 commend the faithful performance of duty of the State Pure

 ployees.
