Dr. Hnanivr has examined about' 100 ad baaea tbe aUtement on the tie such as to prevent tbe disease from spreading. , The surest way for families to be come insured against twing milk from infected eowa is for the animals to be tested.

Cabarrus should at least take steps to reduce the average in keeping with that of the SUte as a whole, and when this is done the good results will doubtless lead to the complete exterm ination of the disease.
