creatures eyes, it should be so arranged as to completely 
flood each stall. The floor ought to be water-tight and pro¬ 
vided with gutters. The whole interior of the stable should 
be constructed of materials easily cleansed and washed. An 
ideal stable ought not to have any overhead storage. 
In addition to all these we must not forget the necessity 
for general cleanliness and periodical special cleansings. A 
special cleansing ought to begin at the tops of the ventilators 
and be continued down through every part of the interior of 
the building, including the drains and underground ventil¬ 
ators. 
In such a paper as this it is impossible to enter into de¬ 
tails, but it has been my object to indicate those scientific 
lines along which alone a successful war with tuberculosis 
can be waged. 
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. 
TREATING ON THE DANGER FROM COW’S MILK, AND THE 
LEGISLATIVE CONTROL OF BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. 
By John M. Parker, D.V.S., Haverhill, Mass. 
[Continued from page 275.] 
It is strange that the sanitary condition of dairy barns 
should be ignored and neglected as it has. On this subject I 
make the following quotation from a paper I had the honor 
of reading before the Massachusetts Veterinary Association 
in May, 1894: 
“ As showing that sanitary conditions are not observed as 
they should be on dairy farms, I have attempted to tabulate 
the conditions as found on twelve farms in this vicinity. 
These are not picked out, but are taken at random from farms 
visited from day to day. The table shows roughly the 
amount of cubic space per cow; the ventilation, light, water 
supply; whether there is a cellar, with its condition, and how 
the manure is disposed of.
