178 STORRS AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 
Of the seven animals examined four are the Devon cows that 
have been tested and found to respond at one time and another, 
and three (A, B, and D) are young calves that have been fed 
with the milk of the cows. ‘The calves have not reacted to the 
tuberculin test, and a careful physical examination fails to 
reveal any indications that they have tuberculosis. : 
Of the four cows that have responded to the test, No. 1337 
presents no symptoms of tuberculosis. She is in good flesh 
and looks well. Her temperature was 102.2” F., respirations 
full and at the rate of 12 per minute. - 
Cow No. 1341 is thinner tn flesh than any of the others, and 
seems to be affected with a slight but chronic looseness of the 
bowels. Her temperature was 102° F., and respirations 12 
per minute. 
Cow No. 1343 is rather fat. She is troubled with a chronic 
cough, and auscultation indicates that the anterior (cephalic) 
lobes of the lungs, especially the right, are tuberculous. Her 
temperature was 102.6 F., and respirations 22 per minute. 
Cows Nos. 1337, 1341, and 1343 are pregnant. 
Cow No. 1344 is in good flesh. ‘Temperature 101.8° F., and 
respirations 15 per minute. Nothing abnormal could be de- 
tected upon a physical examination. No enlarged glands could 
be detected in any of the animals examined. Of the four cows 
that have at some time responded to the test, Nos. 1337 and 
1344 show no symptoms of the disease having developed. In 
No. 1341 the chronic looseness of the bowels may be consid- 
ered as a suspicious symptom of a tubercular affection of the 
digestive tract. In No. 1343 the physical symptoms indicate 
tuberculosis of the lungs. 
It must be remembered that all of these animals have had 
good care and attention, and have not been exposed to condi- 
tions or circumstances that would cause the disease to develop. 
Report of the veterinarian, February 7, 1899.—Of the four 
Devon cows examined, No. 1337 does not seem to be in as 
thrifty condition as she ought to be, considering her care and 
feed. No. 1341 is not in as thrifty condition as No. 1337, and 
would probably be condemned as tuberculous on a physical 
examination. Nos. 1343 and 1344 are in excellent condition, 
physically, both being rather fat, and are looking well. “The
