reacting animals without danger to the public and without too 
great loss to the owner. This, of course, should be along the 
line of public slaughter-houses and public inspectors of meat. 
2. Legislation should be such as to make it impossible 
that milk from an animal suffering from udder tuberculosis 
or from advanced generalized tuberculosis should be dis- 
tributed freely to the public for consumption. 
3. Legislation should be devised which shall look toward 
giving government aid to such farmers as are willing to under- 
take the battle against tuberculosis in an intelligent way. This 
legislation should at all events offer free use of tuberculin 
under proper inspection to such farmers as are willing to adopt 
regulations which shall be devised by inspectors for the pur- 
pose of isolating the reacting animals. 
Further suggestions in regard to legislation would be out 
of place here, but there is a task devolving upon the farmer 
and upon the legislator which must certainly be accomplished 
in the next few years. If our farmers do not wish their dairy 
industry to be menaced and perhaps ruined by the wider 
spreading of this serious disease it is time for them to become 
acquainted with the facts, and be ready to undertake the only 
practical method that has yet been suggested for getting rid of 
the disease, namely, isolation of all animals that show even the 
slightest taint of tuberculosis.
