TUBERCULOSIS IN CATTLE.
A SCIENTIST’S OPINIONS
[UNITED PRESS ASSOCIATION- -COPYRIGHT.] (Received Jan. 12, 8.40 p.m.) SYDNEY, Jan. 12. At the Science Congress, Professor Stewart, of Sydney, read a paper on the repression of tuberculosis in dairy herds, lie said that the momentary exposure of milk to a temperature of 160 Fahrenheit was not pasteurisation, but merely a commercial practice to keep the milk sound for a longer time. Exposure at 160 degrees for fifteen minutes was necessary to destroy tubercle bacilli. Untreated separated mixed milk received from public creameries was one of the most prolific sources of disseminating tuberculosis. It was very unwise to feed nigs and calves on such milk, as such might thereby widely spread the disease. He urged the necessity for proper pasteurisation of separated milk. Dealing with methods of keeping herds from contamination, ho declared Umt veterinarians were inclined to regard infected pasturage as an important source of the dissemination of disease, He advocated the occasional cultivation of grazino- lands for sanitary reasons.
