will prevent the entry to their respective territories of cattle for 
breeding purposes or milk production unless accompanied by sat- 
isfactory tuberculin test charts. 
" That all milk and milk by-products used as food should be 
properly pasteurized unless derived from cows known to be free 
from tuberculosis. 
That the commission recommends the passage of legislation 
which will prevent the sale, distribution or use of tuberculin by 
any persons other than those acting with the full knowledge, or 
under the direction, of official authorities." 
" In concluding its work the commission desires to especially 
appeal to the press, metropolitan, agricultural and local, to join 
in the work of extending as much as possible among the people 
the conclusions here arrived at. The vital importance of the life 
of farm animals to the welfare of all classes of society needs no 
argument in its support. The aim and sole purpose which has 
actuated this commission has been to arrive at the soundest con- 
clusions possible in the light of the best knowledge obtainable." 
" While the members recognize that the subject with which 
this commission is primarily intended to deal is the control and 
eradication of tuberculosis among animals as an economic prob- 
lem, they cannot feel satisfied without declaring their recognition 
of the fact that tuberculosis is also an important public health 
problem. Considered as such, the eradication of tuberculosis 
among animals should have the approval and support of all those 
persons who are interested in curtailing human sufifering and 
prolonging human life." 
The control, to say nothing of the eradication, of bovine 
tuberculosis, is impossible of achievement without the hearty co- 
operation of the men who are actually engaged in the cattle in- 
dustry. In order to secure this cooperation, it will doubtless be 
necessary, in most communities, to carry on an active and pro- 
longed educational campaign." 
" The best law ever framed can be made an utter failure by 
stupid or injudicious administration, while, on the other hand, 
the most drastic legislation can be rendered acceptable if en- 
forced with reasonable tact and diplomacy. Provided, therefore, 
that these qualities, combined with integrity, thoroughness and 
determination, are available for administrative purposes, the 
members of the commission are convinced that the enforcement 
of a law based on their recommendations will prove to be far the 
most powerful and effective educational agency which could pos- 
sibly be employed." 
Reports of committees are appended to the main report, upon 
which the conclusions of the latter are to a considerable extent 
based. One is from Hon. W. D. Hoard, ex-Governor of Wis- 
consin and editor of Hoard's Dairyman, and it urges the value 
of demonstration work. Mr. Hoard says that the great progress 
they had made in legislation in Wisconsin, and in securing a wide-
