DAIRY HERDS.
[press association.] CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday, Mr Macpherson, dairy inspector, says the statements made at a recent meeting of Christchurch dairymen to the effect that the Government had made a profit out of dairy cattle condemned and killed are quite incorrect. He affirms that the Government have not 1 made a penny in that way. With regard to the assertion that two beasts which passed the test were killed and found to be in a terrible condition, they had been condemned’ and had been sent on to Addington, to be driven out to Belfast, and they were slaughtered at the same time' as other condemned beasts. It was known that they were diseased. Mr Macpherson says that many statements made at the meeting of dairymen were unfair to the officers of the department. All the cattle condemned on the strength of the test had proved to be suffering from tuberculosis.
