A long study on bovine tuberculosis from 1892 to 1898 on seventy five farms with 8,687 cattle shows that testing and separating infected cows from healthy stock can prevent disease spread. The Danish style program moves diseased calves and milk to boiled milk, while healthy cattle stay in separate quarters, with overall positive results and no new infections in tested herds.

Government boats may come this way or via Welland canal
The War Department delays sending three new Lake Michigan vessels through the I and M canal due to winter problems. Officials consider using the Welland canal and St Lawrence route instead to Gulf of Mexico. If the I and M is used, locks, aqueducts, and winter bridge works must be restored and cost falls on the state. One boat will be stationed at Fort Morgan Alabama, another at Fort Barrancas Florida, and a third at Fort Stevens Georgia.
