  In 
  the 
  months 
  of 
  March 
  and 
  April, 
  before 
  there 
  was 
  any 
  pen- 
  

   alty 
  provision 
  supplied 
  in 
  the 
  law 
  against 
  the 
  illegitimate 
  traffic 
  

   in 
  bob 
  veal, 
  by 
  your 
  request 
  Agent 
  Kibbe 
  and 
  myself 
  traveled 
  on 
  

   every 
  railroad 
  in 
  this 
  division 
  and 
  inspected 
  the 
  veals 
  on 
  trains, 
  

   and 
  visited 
  every 
  place 
  where 
  the 
  law 
  was 
  reported 
  to 
  be 
  violated. 
  

   "We 
  found 
  several 
  violations 
  of 
  the 
  law, 
  and 
  in 
  such 
  cases 
  we 
  

   visited 
  the 
  offending 
  party, 
  explained 
  the 
  law 
  and 
  warned 
  him 
  

   that 
  further 
  violations 
  would 
  be 
  prosecuted; 
  in 
  each 
  instance 
  the 
  

   parties 
  expressed 
  their 
  gratitude 
  at 
  our 
  method 
  of 
  procedure, 
  and 
  

   desisted 
  in 
  further 
  violation. 
  There 
  are 
  three 
  cases 
  now 
  pending 
  

   in 
  which 
  the 
  veals 
  were 
  shipped 
  from 
  this 
  division 
  and 
  were 
  

   seized 
  aboard 
  trains 
  by 
  State 
  veal 
  inspectors. 
  

  

  The 
  law 
  in 
  relation 
  to 
  the 
  manufacture 
  of 
  oleomargarine 
  and 
  

   renovated 
  butter 
  has 
  been 
  generally 
  complied 
  with 
  in 
  this 
  di- 
  

   vision, 
  but 
  I 
  have 
  recently 
  received 
  information 
  which 
  causes 
  me 
  

   to 
  suspect 
  the 
  present 
  existence 
  of 
  such 
  violations, 
  to 
  which 
  I 
  

   intend 
  to 
  give 
  my 
  immediate 
  attention. 
  

  

  TUBEECULOSIS. 
  

  

  I 
  have 
  made 
  some 
  personal 
  investigation 
  of 
  the 
  condition 
  of 
  

   cattle 
  in 
  this 
  division, 
  and 
  find 
  them 
  generally 
  in 
  good 
  condition 
  

   and 
  receiving 
  proper 
  care. 
  As 
  regards 
  tuberculosis 
  among 
  cattle, 
  

   on 
  the 
  sixteenth 
  day 
  of 
  May 
  I 
  reported 
  to 
  the 
  State 
  Board 
  

   of 
  Health 
  that 
  a 
  herd 
  belonging 
  to 
  Dewayne 
  Brown, 
  of 
  East 
  

   Pharsalia, 
  Chenango 
  county, 
  Avere 
  suspected 
  of 
  being 
  tuberculous. 
  

   On 
  Jime 
  thirteenth 
  they 
  were 
  inspected 
  by 
  a 
  veterinarian 
  of 
  

   the 
  State 
  Board 
  of 
  Health 
  and 
  21 
  out 
  of 
  26 
  were 
  condemned 
  as 
  

   tuberculous. 
  There 
  being 
  no 
  State 
  appropriation 
  provided 
  for 
  

   reimbursing 
  the 
  owner 
  for 
  the 
  destruction 
  of 
  the 
  cattle, 
  they 
  were
