There is no question but that a healthy herd can be de­ veloped from a diseased one under proper conditions. The first step is to apply the tuberculin test and re­ move the reactors. The keeping of reactors from healthy animals is the difficult part for the small breeders. It cannot be done satisfactorily with­ out separate farms or t\#o sets of buildings. Here is where the co-op­ eration of several breeders is a dis­ tinct advantage. Several herds are tested and all the_ reacting animals placed on one farm, where they are kept for breeding purposes and'milk production. This leaves the other farms free from reactors.

The cattle which pass the | first test are retested after sixty or ninety days to detect any which may j have been exposed to the disease, but in which it had not- developed far enough to prodiice reaction. In badly ! infected herds three or 'four tests at such intervals may be necessary. After a herd is free from the disease no animals may be added to it except by permission and approval of the board- of live stock commissioners. When a herd has become free from all reacting animals it is designated as a "Free Herd--Class A" and any aViimal from it may be shipped to any state without further tuberculin test. This will be 'a great advantage in relieving the breeder of the neces­ sity of testing every animal sold and will be an advantage to the buyer, as he need not wait for the animals to be tested before shipping, and also he can be very sure of getting healthy animals. Dr. - Dyson takes a very decided stand upon several much discussed questions in regard to tuberculosis and the tuberculin test. He regards the tuberculin test as an almost in­ fallible diagnostic ^ and attributes the cases in which post morteni exam­ ination fails to reveal the disease to the fact that the disease may cause a reaction and yet not have developed far enough to be visible to the naked eye under ordinary examination. If a microscopic test were made the tubercles would be found. The prac­ tice of slaughtering reacting animals, which are in good physical condition and apparently in good health, he condemns as "an insane idea." A cow may react to the tuberculin test and yet be a profitable producer of milk and produce healthy offsprings for a dozen years. The milk of re­ acting cows is perfectly safe as a food for calves- or human beings, if it is pastuerized by heating to a tem­ perature of 140 degrees for twenty minutes. Dr. Dyson expressed, him­ self as willing to go before any board of health and present arguments to them which could not fail to convince them that refusing milk from react­ ing cows if it was pastuerized was unjust and unnecessary. Speaking of the tuberculin test quarantine against the counties of McHenry, Lake, Cook, Kane and Du- Page, Dr. Dyson said that this is a federal ruling and applied only to interstate shipments. He also said this was unnecessary, unjust and dis- crimatory and he would d° all he could to assist the breeders in hav­ ing it removed. From Dr. Dyson's talk it was evi­ dent that he is in sympathy with the livestock breeders of the state and is ready to do all he can to help them in making this state a great livestock center. Every breeder present was very favorably impressed with the doctor and feel that they can count upon him as' a true friend of the live­ stock breeder. Other business transacted was jfche election of officers and delegates to the national meeting at Detroit and the appointment of a committee to arrange^ for a couny breeders' sale.

The Dundee Hawkeye has the fol­ lowing: "The people of Dundee will, be pleased to learn that the Hall store will be reopened soon, and--by the energetic and capable business man who built the large arid handsome ed­ ifice and conducted a prosperous busi­ ness for a long time. Mr. Hall, like many others who handle a business so extensive, met with reverses and was obliged to give up temporarily all that with hard work and remarkable business ability he had so well estab­ lished. Now a company has been formed with C. F. Hall at the head and the business will be resumed. A finer and more complete stock of goods will fill the shelves, counters and show cases. The business will be conducted on a strictly cash basis. An able and genial corps of assistants will be employed and we look for the old-time rush to be ready for the opening, occurring in about ten or twelve days."
