Tuberculin Tent Reliable Method of
Ascertaining Presence or
Absence of DIseaMO
It Is impossible, by merely looking
at a cow, to tell whether or not she
has tuberculosis. Nor can the pres
ence of the disease be detected by
physical examination going not much
further than a survey. The most re
liable method for definitely determin
ing whether tuberculosis exists the
only method recognlxed by the Unit
ed States department of agriculture
is the tuberculin test applied by a
trained operator.
Tuberculin Is the most accurte
diagnostic agency known to science,
but it is safe only in the hands of a
trained and skilled operator who Is
acquainted with Its action and limi
tations.
Many fine herds of cattle which
were a delight to look upon and
which seemed to be healthy on su
perflclal examination, have been
found to be extensively affected with
tuberculosis. They reacted to the
tuberculin test, and subsequent
slaughter of the animals proved that
the test had not gone wrong. Their
bodies were found to contain exten
sive lesions of tuberculosis, and these
healthy appearing animals, If they
had been allowed to live would have
continued to spread the disease to i
other cattle and swine and posslDiy
to human belnKS.
The federal government. In eo-op-
eration with state live-stock sanltarr
officials, has made a beginning in the
big task of driving "animal T. D.
from this country. It can not be
done In, a year, nor probably In a
score of years, but every owner or
- - i
even small herds of cattle can help
forward the campaign by making
l
sure that his animals are not carry
ing and spreading the germs of this
dangerous malady. Tuberculosis erad
ication stations have been established
In thirty-five cities, covering the en
tire country, and live-stock owners
who want to get In touch with the
station nearest them can do so by
writing to the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.
Helps Pay for Infected Cattle
Under recent legislation the fed
eral government and the state gov
ernments pay portions of the value
of cattle slaughtered after they have
been found Infected with tubercu
losis.
The success of the movement for
eradicating tuberculosis rests upon
the live-stock growers of the country
to a greater degree than on any other
foree, according to officials of the de
partment. Whenever the live-stock
owners "get behind" the work suc
cess is bound to follow.
During September all former
records of sheep receipts for a single
month at the Omaha market were
broken, a total of 849,811 animals
arriving. It Is Interesting to note
from reports received by the United
States department of agriculture that
29 per cent of the receipts were sold
to slaughterers, while 71 per cent
went back to the country as feeders,
Nebraska and Iowa purchasing a
large percentage of the feeders ani
mals. -The abundance of rough feed
In the territory tributary to Omaha
is largely responsible for the heavy
sales of stock sheep.

IIGI1T up a Chesterfield. Now you're in
luck. No mistake about It, Chesterfields
sure do come through on "Satisfy"!
None but the finest varieties of Turkish
and Domestic tobaccos, specially selected
and expertly blended is it any wonder
that Chesterfields welcome comparison
with the best you ever smoked?
Ordinary blending brings out flavor, of
course, but blending by Chesterfield's proc
ess brings out a new flavor a flavor that
"they" didn't know was there.
And this blend Is exclusive based on bur
private formula. It cannot be duplicated,
or even closely imitated.
You get "Satisfy" in Chesterfields and
nowhere else.
And the special moisture-proof wrapping
lets none of their flavor escape.
