THE INTRA-DERMAL TEST FOR TUBERCULOSIS. 
4G5 
Of the sixty head tested by the intra-dermal method, all of 
which had reacted to the thermal test, twenty-seven did not react 
to the intra-dermal test. Of this twenty-seven, six were con¬ 
sidered as not clearly marked either way. 
Four cattle were posted; two that reacted to both tests, both 
showed well marked lesions. One of the cattle in which the re¬ 
action was not definite also showed visible lesions. One that 
reacted to the thermal but not to the intra-dermal test; nothing* to 
be seen or felt and nothing found under the microscope. The 
microscopic examination was carried out at the laboratory of the 
State Board of Health. 
Dr. R. C. Moore and wife of Kansas City are journeying 
through the west and enjoying a well-earned vacation, Dr. Moore 
feeling quite at liberty to do so, particularly since he has disposed 
of his practice interests to Dr. J. V. Lacroix. 
The Kansas City Veterinary College Bulletin, Num¬ 
ber 35, has been received, containing* an account of the com¬ 
mencement exercises which took place on the evening of April 
ii. Dr. Tait Butler, prominent in veterinary circles and editor 
of "The Progressive Farmer Memphis, Tenn., delivered the 
commencement address, the quality of which needs no mention, 
as all who know Dr. Butler and have heard him speak know that 
his utterances are always both interesting and filled with wisdom. 
We therefore congratulate the graduating class in having him 
address them. The degree of Doctor of Veterinary Medicine 
was then conferred by President Moore, accompanied by a splen¬ 
did address, in which he outlined to them their duties to them¬ 
selves, to their profession, and to the public, recommending* to 
each as a guide in all cases and at all times the Golden Rule. 
Dr. E. J. Johnston responded in behalf of his class, and finally 
Dean Stewart addressed the 130 graduates with his characteristic 
earnestness. The bulletin contains in addition an account of the 
meeting of Missouri Valley Veterinary Medical Association, 
held in Kansas City, January 30 to February 2, a report of the 
secretary of the Y. M. C. A., alumni notes, etc., and is altogether 
interesting.
