![calves, pigs or poultry according to the nature and severity of the disease. Diseased cows were milked last and isolated whenever pos.sible. 2. INSPECTIOIS OF CATTLE. The u.sual number of inspections were carried out in the above landward area, namely, three to registered and two to exempted premises, additional visits being made, as required, in order to keep suspected or diseased animals under observa- tion. The figures for both categories (registered and non- registered) are shown in the following statement:— Av. daily production of milk in No. of Av. No. of Coivs gallons. No. of Pro- No. of Cows in Extra other raises. Cows. in- MUk. Local. County .Cattle, speoted.

BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS. The advantages of a ttibercle free milk supply to ]-)roducer and consumer ahke have been consistentlj^ pointed out, and several herds and individual cows have been tested privately. But the lack of accommodation for the isolation of reactors, the small number of cows in registered premises (mostly small holdings), and the cost of production of the higher grades of millc are serious deterrents. (а) Number of Cows found tuberculous on clinical e.ramina- tion of herds. Cows found tuberculous on clinical examination of herds were five in number. The disease had reached a more or less advanced stage, and the aiiimals were forthwitli destroj’^ed under the Tuberculosis Order, 1925, the diagnosis being confirmed on post mortem. Three were cows in registered premises, two were non-registered, a heifer and a bullock. (б) Number of Cows found tuberculous after tuberculin test. Tlie tuberculin test has not been used as a diagnostic agent under the Act or Order. (c) Total number of Cotes to which the tuberculin test ttxis applied under Section 22 of the Milk and Dairies (Scotlattd) Act, 1914.
