Causes Heavy Lose The loss caused by the disease, in addition to the loss of bhuman lHfe, is enormous. During the seven months ending: April 28, 1,203,402 hogs »were slaughtered by five packing houses in Wisconsin.-- Of that number--286,950 were found t wbe {nfeoted. Packers pay lower prices for hogs coming from sections where' there is a considerable percentage of tubercu-- losis.. This means the hog railser is paying for the losses sustained by tu~ berculosis and it is to his advantage to clean up the disease. It is encour-- aging to note that the leading dafry farmers and other live stock owners are in favor of large appropriations from their legislature for the purpose of eradicating bovine tuberculosis. The state. o fNew York 'has already appro-- priated five willion dollars for this purpose, and Wisconsin is asking the legislature to appropriate one million & year for two years. < Those who have made a close study °* of. bovine tuberculosis have come to >*'8 the firm gonviction that the way to.
