CONTROL OF ANIMAL DISEASES
American authorities claim that foot-and-mouth disease, pleuro-pneu-monia and rinderpest, which have taken heavy toll in many other countries, have been kept out of the United States by the vigilance of veterinarians. Tuberculosis, the fourth great bovine scourge of the world, is claimed by them to be practically controlled, and within a year the whole of the United States will be officially accredited as free of this disease.
What has been done in the United States, and in other countries as well, with bovine tuberculosis, could be attempted in this Dominion, which depends to such a great extent on the health of its livestock for its prosperity, states The New Zealand Herald.
