The second case I wish to point out was on a much smaller 
scale and will not take so long to relate. 
In June, 1894, Dr. Henry Colt, of Pittsfield, had six cows 
and a six-months-old calf. The tuberculin test was applied and 
all of the cows reacted, the calf alone failing to do so. The 
cows were condemned and killed. Two of them proved to be 
unusually bad cases ; one of these, a Jersey, was a mother of the 
six-months-old calf and was also pregnant at the time of 
slaughter. 
The stanchions were removed and the floor, which was old, 
torn up and destroyed. The urine-soaked earth was dug up 
and removed. The interior was then brushed, washed and 
treated with the antiseptic wash previously mentioned. The 
ceiling and walls being of rough unplaned wood, were heavily 
washed with hot whitewash. The stable was left vacant and 
open to the sun and the air until the fall; when a new floor 
was put in and the stanchions, which had been washed and 
left out of doors all summer, were put back in place. The 
calf was taken back into the stable and has spent her winters
