Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1898.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: The first thing to consider in the production of sanitary milk is the stock. All animals should be free from the slightest trace of disease; they should be tuberculin tested, as this is the only certain way to detect this dread disease; one seventh of all people die of tuberculosis, or consumption as it is called in man. Tuberculosis of cattle is communicable to man through effected milk; and all cattle are liable to be effected; the Kansas Experiment Stations purchased 20 common cows in western Kansas, and had them tested for tuberculosis; the State Veterinarian, Dr. Fisher, had not the slightest ground for suspecting tuberculosis, yet 20% of them were shown to be effected; if these cows were diseased when they were kept in the pen all their lives, what could be expect of city cows that live in filth?The organization that has made the Item available believes that the Item is in the Public Domain under the laws of the United States, but a determination was not made as to its copyright status under the copyright laws of other countries.
