TUBERCULOSIS.
Christchurch, October 17
At the annual meeting of the Canterbury Central Dairy Company to-day, Mr John Rennie called attention to the spread of tuberculosis among cattle and pigs in New Zealand, and expressed the opinion that an impoitant factor was the infection of skim milk returned from the creameries. One or two,cows, he said, could infect the whole supply, and he had himself noticed the spread of disease among pigs fed on skim milk. “ Men are cheap and pigs are dear,” he remarked in reply to a question, about the position of the ordinary consumer in the matter.
Mr Rennie moved that the directors should consider the advisableness of pasteurising the skim milk, and his motion was carried. The shareholders did not seem to regard the matter as one of great importance, for a number left the meeting during a brief debate on the motion.
