1,808 animals to slaughter, and at the same time we have gotten 
rid of the principal source of infection in this short time, thus 
increasing the value of our herds almost if not quite two-fold, and 
greatly lessening the danger to human life. In the first year we 
have saved the State, by preventing further infection, $20,340. In 
the second year the amount saved will reach $81,375. In the 
third year the amount saved will reach the surprisingly large sum 
of $199,870. It will also be seen that the number of cases of 
tuberculosis in the human family will be greatly diminished. 
Now, suppose the State pays $10 per head for each animal 
slaughtered. The sum required would be $99,460, averaging 
about $33,000 per year for the first three years, after which 
$10,000 per year would carry on the work of the State Board 
of Health very nicely. 
It has been shown above that the actual amount saved over and 
above the amount expended for the destruction of these animals is 
$203,125, to say nothingof the human lives that are annually saved. 
This is a question that concerns all classes of people alike, 
and the State can no longer afford to defer action on the matter. 
The disease is assuming alarming proportions, and unless some¬ 
thing is soon done tuberculosis or consumption will be almost as 
common as common colds. 
I have endeavored to show that the veterinarian is now in a 
position to demand a hearing on these subjects that so constantly 
menace the public health, and that prompt action on the part of 
our next legislature will do much to advance the public welfare 
and the cattle industry of our State.
