Testing for Tubeculosis 
What do you think of the present New 
York State- tuberculin test for cattle? 
Can thty force anyone to have his cows 
tested, even if he does not sell milk or 
milk products? What can they do if you 
will not let them test? How much will 
they pay on the average cow that will 
test out having tuberculosis? S. L. 
New York. 
The tuberculin test is admittedly far 
from infallible, but it is considered by 
competent authorities the best test known 
and one that will detect the great major¬ 
ity of cases of tuberculosis in the active 
stage. Repeatedly used, it will probably 
get them all in time. Your second ques¬ 
tion is a rather academic one, since no 
one keeps cows unless he desires to sell 
their products, either in the form of milk 
or veal. Under the present law, veal 
could not be sold from a herd under 
quarantine because of not having been 
tested. Wihat they can do if you refuse 
or neglect to test your herd in a township 
where 90 per cent of the herds are tested 
is a-plenty. They can send you to the 
poorhouse at a quickstep, unless you have 
some other resource than your domestic 
animals for making a living. Section 76 
of Article 5 of the Farms and Markets 
Law says: “The commissioner may order 
the premises or farm on which such un¬ 
tested herd is harbored to be put in quar¬ 
antine, so that no domestic animal shall 
be removed from or brought to the prem¬ 
ises quarantined, and so that no products 
of the domestic animals on the premises 
so quarantined shall be removed from the 
said premises.” Not only milk, butter and 
veal are products of domestic animals, 
but so are wool, eggs and pork. You 
might, of course, dispose of all of your 
stock by killing and burying them on the 
premises and turn your farm into a fruit 
and grain farm exclusively. 
Not over $75 can be paid for the aver¬ 
age cow slaughtered after test, and that 
amount only in case the slaughtered cow 
is found not to be suffering from tuber¬ 
culosis or some other contagious disease. 
The word of the veterinarian making the 
inspection after slaughter must be taken 
as to whether he finds tuberculosis or 
some other contagious disease present. If 
disease is found, 90 per cent of the ap¬ 
praised value is paid the owner of the 
cow. Thus, if a cow is appraised at $60 
and disease is found, $54 will be paid for 
her. As already stated, no unregistered 
cow can be appraised at over $75; if val¬ 
ued at that amount, $67.50 would be al¬ 
lowed the owner; only in case that she 
was found to be free from disease would 
the full amount of $75 be paid, and it is 
safe to say that that contingency would 
seldom occur. The carcass remains the 
property of the owner, but its value is 
deducted from the indemnity. 
The county accredited herd associations 
are local associations of dairymen inter¬ 
ested in applying the laws relating to 
tested herds, of which the above are a 
part. In your and other counties the 
county Farm Bureau has taken an active 
part in promoting this work. You are 
not obliged to join such an association, 
but you cannot escape the laws under 
which they operate. M. B. D.
