At the same time, all cattle affected with contagious abortion or other diseases should be treated until perfectly well, as they are in condition to attract tuberculosis. In conducting the tuberculin test each animal in the herd should be marked by a number tag; the number on the tag should correspond with the number on the tuber- culin chart or certificate, showing a record of the test of each animal in the herd.

Test each new animal before it is allowed to mix with the herd. STATE DOES NOT MAKE TEST UNLESS TUBERCULOSIS EXISTS. Test your herd without waiting for the state to do it.

Make the test at once on general principles for your own information and benefit, whether tuberculosis is, or is not known to be in your herd. If you make the test at once, you will save all cows that are not affected; if you put the test off, the cows which you could save now will sooner or later become diseased and a loss to you. Learn to make the test yourself so that you may apply the test every six months, or at least once a year. Stock owners should urge their neighbors to test their cattle at least once a year so as to keep the community free from tuberculosis. See page 165 for further information. HOW TO APPLY THE TEST.
