On summarizing the tuberculin tests since the cows arrived at 
the Station we find that cow No. 1337 responded in January, 
1897, did not respond in April, July, September, or December, 
1897, nor in April, 1898. Cow No. 1341 responded in January, 
and in April, 1897, did not respond in July, September, or 
December, 1897, nor in April, 1898. Cow No. 1343 responded 
in January, 1897, did not respond in April, July, September, 
or December, 1897, but did not respond in April, 1898. Cow 
No. 1344 responded in January and April, 1897, did not 
respond in July or September, responded in December, 1897, 
but failed to respond again in April, 1898. 
PHYSICAL CONDITION OF THE COWS FROM OCTOBER, 1896, TO 
APRIL, 1898. 
Cows No. 1343 and 1344 dropped calves in September or 
October, 1896, and have continued to produce milk up to the 
present writing (April, 1898). While the flow has not been 
large it is perhaps up to the average for cows of this breed. 
These two cows have remained in good condition of flesh for 
the past year anda half. No. 1343 is a lighter milker than 
No. 1344 and has become quite fat and sleek. Since March 
Ist, 1898, she has had a slight cough, but otherwise has appar- 
ently remained in good physical condition. Cow No. 1344 was 
rather thin in flesh during the summer and fall of 1897, but 
within the past three months has gained in flesh and at present 
appears in ‘‘ good order’’ for a milch cow. Cows No. 1341 
and 1337 were dry for about three months during the winter
