 slaughtered under the meat inspection rules and regulations of the U. S. 

 Bureau of Animal Industry. 



Animals affected with tuberculosis or actinomycosis shall not be per- 

 mitted in dairy herds. 



REPORTING DISEASES. 



In reporting contagious or infectious disease, the report should give 

 the name of the owner, the number and kind of animals affected and the 

 exact location of the stock. If possible the diagnosis should be made by 

 a competent local veterinarian. This is possible in nearly all cases, and 

 may save the State considerable expense in unnecessary traveling ex- 

 penses. It is not the intent of this office to diagnose the ordinary or non- 

 contagious disease. Neither is it the function of this office to investigate 

 an outbreak for private purposes or to prescribe lines of treatment for 

 individuals. 



Some contagious or infectious diseases, as influenza in horses, corn- 

 stalk disease among cattle, cholera among swine, or modular disease, and 

 twisted stomach worm among sheep either can not lie controlled l)y 

 police measures, or are so common that attention can not lie given them.
