TUBERCULIN TEST
ADMINISTERED IN !
CHEROKEE, CLAY I
Fifty-Five Cowi Tested By Ashevilic 1
Veterinarian Latter Part
The Week
The tuberculin test was administer- ^
I
ed to fifty-five cows in Cherokee and j
Clay Counties Inst week by Dr. M. M. )
Leonard, veterinarian, of Asheville
N. C., who came into this section
through arrangements made by County
Agents W. R. Anderson, of Clay. .
and H. H. Ellis of Cherokee. Or j
Leonard spent a day in the* county
the first of the week taking cultures
then returned on Saturday to read the 1
results off the tests. There were for- 1
, ty cows treated in Clay County and
fifteen in Cherokee, the fee being $1
[ under the suecial arrangements made
by the county agents.
While the tests are of extreme- value
to the individual owners, the ar-j
j rangement for the veterinarian to |
i nunc iu nit: county w?s ins|iiicti pri- i
niariiy by the fact that such test?
must V made before milk and cream
can be shipped into any of the larger
cities. Farmers of Clay and Cherokee
desirous of shipping cream ?nto
Asheville found it necessary to hav?
the tests made and otrth farmtrs interested
in the health of their families
took advantage of the visit of the
veterinarian.
According to Dr. Henry L. Shaw
recently president of the American
Medical Asosciation, and now a eon
sultant of the New York State Department
of Health, milk is one of the
most desirable human foods as it con.
tains all the materials necesary to
support life, including proteins, carbohydrates.
mineral matter, fats and
water. "Milk, however." points out
Dr. Show, "i3 one of the most difficult
foods to produce and distribute
with absolute safety to the consumer.
!t is often a vehicle for the transmission
of tuberculosis and infectious
liseases, and is responsible for more
sickness than almost any other food.
Fgt this reason public healt authorities
enact ordinances to safeguard the
various steps in the production, transportation
and distribution of milk
from the cow to the consumer.
"To produce clean milk," continues
this enunent authority, "the farmer
must have healthy cows, clean
milkers and sanitary utensils. The
dealer on his part must deliver milk
promptly, pasteurized and properly
i i.?a tk? ? ~u.
the responsibility, for the milk, as
soon as it is delivered, must he kept
clean, cold and covered. It is a sad
truth that very often the care of milk
in the home is the weakest link in the
chain of events from milking to drinking."
The results of the tests made in
Cherokee and Clay Counties were not
made known but it is not expected
that any of the cows treated showed
any signs of the tuberculin baccilli.
Those farmers who had their cows
tester and who desire to. however,
may now ship their cream to Asheville
and those others may drink the
health giving milk from their cows
with the satisfaction that there is no
danger of the health of the family being
menawod by the dread luberculop
sis.
