A TUBERCULOUS HERD.

amination. (This autopsy was made near the end of a hard 
day’s work, and it is possible some small cheesy gland may have 
been overlooked.) 
The remaining animals were not tested with tuberculin, only 
three of the younger ones were used because they had run wild 
all winter, and it was thought that it would be difficult to take 
their temperatures, and handle them. The result of the autop¬ 
sies, as given below, show that it would have been of great 
value if the test had been extended to them. 
Autopsies on eight heifers not tested with tuberculin :— 
Tag No. 73.—Two-year-old heifer.. 
March 10th killed.—Autopsy showed three mediastinal and 
a cardiac lymphatic gland tuberculous, and a nodule in the left 
lung. 
Tag No. 74.—^Yearling heifer. 
March 10th killed.—Autopsy showed tuberculous media¬ 
stinal lymphatic glands (very much enlarged), also a small 
nodule in each lung. 
Tag No. 75.—Yearling heifer. 
March 10th killed.—Autopsy showed the posterior media¬ 
stinal glands very much enlarged and filled with tuberculous 
deposits, tuberculosis of the anterior mediastinal and cardiac 
lymphatic glands, several tubercles in the anterior part of the 
right lung, and two or three nodules in the posterior part of the 
left, and two small nodules in the liver. 
Tag No. 76.—Two-year-old heifer. 
March 10th killed.—Autopsy showed nothing. 
Tag No. 77.—Yearling heifer. 
March 10th killed.—Autopsy showed a patch of bronchial 
irritation at the posterior border of the left lung, with muco¬ 
purulent material in the bronchia. Whether this was tubercu¬ 
lous or not could only be made certain by a microscopic exam¬ 
ination, which was not obtained. 
Tag No. 78.—Yearling heifer. 
March 10th killed.—Autopsy showed a few drops of pus at 
the posterior edge of one lung, and a small nodule in the liver,
