In answer to a recent Inquiry the bureau of animal industry, United States Department of Agriculture, has expressed the following opinion : Tuberculosis is regarded as dangerous in any animal, in any location and to any extent .The discharge of tubercle bacilli from the mouth, nose or the excretory organs infects the barnyard dust which may settle in the milk; and the transmission of the disease through milk by this means is regarded as one of the most common causes of its spread. The danger Is materially greater when tuberculous infection occurs in the udder or as open-glan- d lesions, extensive Internal or pulmonary lesions or any other form that may contaminate the milk, feed or litter.
