Bovine Tuberculosis. 
Despite Professor Koch’s statement that 
boyine tuberculosis is not communicable 
to man, public fear on this point has not 
been allayed, nor hasthe dread of the 
disease been lessened for the stock-owner. 
But when combined effort is made to 
combat the disease tuberculosis can even- 
tually be checked and reduced. This is 
strikingly shown by the results achieved 
in Denmark. Ina few years the disease, 
although it has not been eliminated. has 
been wonderfully reduced through a 
system of voluntary effort and this, after 
compulsory measures had been introduced 
by the Government and had failed to. 
accomplish their purpose. About twelve 
years ago the dairy herds of Denmark | 
were as badly infected with disease as 
those of any country, but at the present 
time, according to a recent official report, 
‘there is less tuberculosis present than ; 
there is in other European countries or in 
America. The Bang system of isolation 
has been followed, and the effect has been

greater than was anticipated, Its success 
has attracted the attention of other coun- 
tries, and in Canada and Scotland, where 
tuberculosis is becoming more widespread 
the Danish example is everywhere being 
held up for imitation. Of course, in a 
country where stall-feeding is so widely 
practised isolation is a simple manner. 
But, as has been pointed out, the stock- 
breeder who grazes his cattle has the 
assistance of fresh air in fighting Me 
disease.

measures in 1903, and a number of pro- 
visions were enacted preventing the 
showing of animals known to be infected 
and the gale of milk from effected cattle. se 
But the immediate results came from “a 
voluntary and self-imposed system of 
treatment. ‘ Many owners have changed 
their herds from a badly tuberculous 
condition to a condition of entire freedom 
from this disease,’ states a writer in the 
- ‘Breeders’ Gazette,’ ‘and this has been 
done without serious loss, except by the 
disposal of animals showing advanced 
stages of tuberculosis.” One of two’ sys- 
tems are adopted. A cattlc-owner either

herd is treated as tuberculous, the calves 
are isolated, and they are reared upoB

germs that might exist. Then, the calves 
are tested twice a year to ascertain 
whether the disease is present. In either 
case the testing is carried out... This 18

The calyes are separated from their

first day the colustrum is indispensable),
