BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS.
For some time past the British Government has had under consideration the question of reviving the Tuberculosis Order of 1914. After consultation with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Agriculture has issued an order containing provisions similar to those of the 1814 order. The new order comes into force on September 1 next, that being the date on which the Milk' and Dairies Consolidation Act, 1915, in England and Wales, and the Milk and Dairies Act, 1914, in Scotland, will take effect. Both these Acts prohibit the use, for the production of milk, of any cow which is giving tuberculous milk or is suffering from tuberculosis of the udder or tuberculous emaciation. The« order will compel ths» slaughter of all such cows and any other bovine animal which may be suffering from tuberculous emaciation or from a chronic cough, and showing definite clinical sign of the disease.
