Show Sllssourl Cattle -CXtarantino. under date of June 20, says: Governor Gover-nor Stephens has .extended the cattle : quarantine of the state to include Canada cattle, and from this da"te until un-til the- quarantine is lifted no Canadian Cana-dian cattle can be shipped into Missouri Mis-souri until they have been examined by either the state veterinary or a veterinary vet-erinary surgeon appointed for that purpose. The examination shall be to ascertain if the cattle are infected with tuberculosis. This is the only change made in the quarantine regulations which have been in force in the state for the past year. This disease has made its appearance among Canadian cattle, and the Missouri state board of agriculture recommended the establishment estab-lishment of the quarantine, which the governor promulgated. The quarantine quaran-tine is valid against cattle from the following states: Maine, New Hampshire, Hamp-shire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, Pennsylvania, Penn-sylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, California, Kentucky, and Tennessee and the Dominion of Canada. . Good dairy cows are reported scarce In the markets. There are a good many cows for sale, but they are not dairy cows, though they may be sold and bought for purposes of milk production. produc-tion. The Kansas agricultural college wanted some good cows, and out of fourteen purchased could only get two of the dai'" form. They found that dairy calves less than two months of age were held at J20 per head. Other reports show that good dairy cows sell at from $40 to $50 per head. It is thus evident that a man that wants good cows' for milk production must raise them or pay for them twice what their raising would cost. |
