TUBERCULIDE
TEST
AT THE
WOOSTER EXPERIMENT
STATION.
Dr. Holland's Visit to the 8tatlon-The
Slaughter of the Animals Examinations
Made-Many Fact Noted-A Full Report
by the Doctor. . - .
In accord with my promise to the
Enterprise readers I will briefly d1"
scribe the proceedings of the investi
gation conducted by the management
of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment
Station at Wooster, for the purpose of
substantiating the reliability of tub
erculins as a means of detecting the
presence of tuberculosis, or consump
tion in cattle. Perhaps it would be
well to state here that the first posi
tive, identification of tuberculosis in
the herd of cattle belonging to the sta
tion was made in the spring of 1897.
Since that date more than one hun
dred cattle have been subjected to the
tuberculine test with forty cases re
acting. Thirty head had been killed
prior to the killing of these slaughter
ed on April 11, in which the reliabil
ity of the test had been unquestionab
ly confirmed. Four of the non-reacting
animals have, since receiving the
test, died of other causes, show
ing no traces of tuberculosis on post
mortem. Cattle that were slaughter
ed on the date mentioned in last week's
Enterprise, were of the following
breeds: Holstein, Jerseys, Short-Horn
Durham, Polled Aberdeen Angus,
and the Red Polled cattle.
Some of these cattle were in fine
condition. Fat as show animals.
Some had shown questionable reac
tion from the test. Twelve head were
slaughtered, ten of which were found
diseased. The remaining two doubt
ful. These having failed to react sat
isfactorily. Of those found to be dis
eased, in one cow it was well de
veloped In the udderi the majority in
the lungs, others in the liver, and one
in the glands of the throat. In some
of these cases, as much as one pint of
pus was found in the lungs and liver.
There were two calves, and four
hogs, that were also slaughtered,
wi.ich had been subjects of experi
ment. These calves had been fed milk
direct from the diseased cows, but
when subjected to test did not 'react,
and when slaughtered were not found
to be diseased. Two of the hogs were
also fed milk direct from diseased
cows. The other two were fed milk
that had been heated to about 140 0 .
jfiiese were all found to be diseased.
The test in this case was not conducted
properly as the hogs were not proven
to be free from the disease prior to the
experiment. In each case the disease
ICIffiAN PHOTO

Block, West Main Street,
was well established. Prof. Thome
informed the writer that considering
the healthy appearance of many of the
cows, he considered this to be
a thorough test as to the merits of
tuberculine as a diagnostic agent, and
that as far as the Station was concern
ed the test was decidedly satisfactory.
There were present from thirty to
thirty-live veterinaries, I should think
as many doctors, and breeders by the
hundreds, many of whom were full of
skepticism before the slaughter com
menced but after witnessing animal
after animal slaughtered and dissected
admitted that the subject was a ser
ious one.
In way of explanation I wish to say,
that the teBt for the disease consists of
the following proceeding: Tempera
ture of the animal is taken to ascer
tain the condition of animal temper
ature. If found in the range of nor
mal, namely from 100 to 101
then the tuberculine is injected under
the skin with a syringe for that pur
pose. This is usually done at 10 p. m.
then at 6 a. m. their temperature is
taken, and so on every two hours
throughout the day. Should the temper
ature rise to, say 105 0 to 107 0 the
animal is pronounced diseased or tu
linrculous, providing there was no oth
er attributed cause. The rise of tem
perature is called reacting.
To administer this test requires one
especially qualified, and if the cattle
are to be shipped, a certificate of test
is given.
As this article has been laid over
for one week, I would like to refer to
the notice made In the Cleveland
Press, Saturday, April 22, regarding
the carcasses of animals slaughtered
at the station.
It was determined by all authorities
present at Wooster that all these ani
mals but three were fit for food. I am
astonished that a question should be
raised against such beef, and confess
it far beyond the powers of my reason
ing to adjust myself to the arguments
that confront our profession. As far
as I am concerned I would be glad to
know meat I eat was all as wholesome
as those carcasses were. True, the
disease of tuberculosis was present,
but the Are used in cooking meat af
fords a degree of protection, not given
when I drink milk from such animals.
Some people tell me they think it a
"hoax" a "humbug". They are will
ing, seemingly, if only ignorant, to
swallow anything, ready to deride the
man that sounds the note of warning.
There are those however who are fully
awake to the danger, possibly, lurking
in the meat, and milk upon their table.
How long would it take you to decide
as to whatyou would do with the cow,
could you know it was from her you had
contracted the terrible disease the
doctor tells you has no cure but the
grave? K. &. Holland, V. S.

It Is very small consolation for
man who la suffering from rheumatism
to be told that it is .only an "acute"
attack and soon wil be over. Whether
an attack of rheumatism lasts one day
or eight weeks or one moment, It Is ex
tremely Interesting and keeps you
busy while H Is present The proprie
tors of Ath-lo-pho-rus do not attempt
to subdivide rheumatism into Its final
variety; they simply know that Atih-

matism In any kind of climate, in any
kind of conditions, no matter whether
the disease is recent or ot long-stand-standing.

Grand Opening.
On Saturday last as announced, was
the formal opening to the public of the
new store, to be known as The Taylor
Store. A professional decorator from
the Cleveland store had been at work,
and on Saturday the show windows
and the interior of the store consti
tuted certainly "a thing of beauty."
Immediately in front of the door as
you would pass inside, was a table
bearing a mammoth floral horse shoe,
with a card attached, with the follow
ing inscription : "Success to Mr. Teare,
from the employees of the home store."
The window dressing wbs" superb and
the interior was equally fine. With all
this display, who would n't buy?

GRANGE ENTERTAINMENT.
The Ideal Something New Under Aus
pices of the Wellington Grange Til ree
Attractions for the Price of One.
On Friday evening, April 28, the
Wellington Grange will give a grund
entertainment at the opera house. It
consists of three great attractions in
five separate parts, and will be contin
uous, with line music between the
parts. A great moving picture ma
chine, called the animatoscope, will be
one of the features of the entertain
ment. This is another product of the
fertile brain of Thos. A. Kdison, and
will delight all who look at the living
pictures which move along the canvas.
A Cowurdly Mob,
On Monday night of last week, a dra
ma was enacted at what is known as
the "Blue Goose" 1 4 miles east of
town. According to our informant.
about forty unknown persons in the
shape of men, With rooms to rent in
their upper stories, congregated about
the dwelling of Mrs. Jennette GiKett
and bombarded her home with a show
er of stones, breaking the windows and
bruising the woman and one of her
children. The second act was when
Mrs. Gillett walked out with her little
bi.y and recognized fourteen pf them
These she called by name, flaying
I know you." The third act was
when one of the number addressed her
in vile language, and she stood her lit
tle boy on the ground aid proceeded
to castigate him in the usual womanly
manner by slapping his face and by
pulling the curls out of his hair and
whiskers.
We know nothing of the merits of
this case either pro or con, except by
hearsay, which is not always reliable.
We do say, however, that there are
lawful methods which can be pursued
in ridding a neighborhood of disturb
ing or undesirable elements, without
resorting to the Mississippi plan or the
South Carolina plan or to any other
hoodlum plan of exterminating evil.
This is one instance in which the
motto, "Bimilia similibtis curantur"
will not operate.
