THE TUBERCULIN TEST.
The G(Y*rnment expert, Mr. Reakee, writes us ;—
'•I have just row gone through a somewhat unusual experience viz., applying [the tuberculin test to a considerable number of dairy cows without one of them showing a re-action, and I think it is well that the factj should be made public. They are ac follow?:—I, assisted by Mr. Holderness, Stcck Inspector, applied the tuberculin teeb to & herd of 46 dairy cove, ihe property of Mr. C. McDobald, of "Wainui, with the result that not a Eingle individual of them proved to be tuberculous. You are quite> at liberty (so far as I am concerned) to make this public. J don't know that there is any advantage to be gained by repeating my statement that this is a somewhat uuußUal experiei cc in this colony. In this cane the , facts speak eloquently for themselves, and will be a welcome variety to the harrowing: details ore so frequently meets with now-a-daya in the Press.—Believe me. Your* faithfully.
Chas J. Reakes, M.R.C.V.S., Government Veterinarian.""
