Rule VII, pertaining to the importation of hogs, has been 

 strengthened by requiring a certificate to the effect that the hogs 

 in question have not been submitted to the serum-simultaneous 

 or double treatment for hog cholera within 30 days prior to ship- 

 ment. 



TERRITORIAL FAIR EXHIBIT. 



A number of highly interesting specimens of diseased organs, 

 especially from tuberculous cows, have been mounted for pur- 

 pose of exhibition. 



In view of the agitation that is now being created for the pur- 

 pose of discrediting the eft'orts of this office at eradicating bovine 

 tuberculosis, it may have a salutary effect on the same agitators 

 to get acquainted with the appearance of the lungs, livers and 

 milk glands of some of the cows from which they have been and 

 are proposing to continue to supply milk. The specimens may 

 also prove of interest to the milk consumers and help them to 

 decide whether they would prefer, in the future at least, to be 

 able to obtain milk from healthy cows or whether they will be 

 satisfied with the product of the diseased animals from which 

 these organs were taken, pasteurized or otherwise. 



The text for a number of posters illustrating the work of this 

 Division has also been prepared and is now ready for the sign 

 painter. 



Tuberculin testing and importations of live-stock during the 

 past month are dealt with in the report of the Assistant Terri- 

 torial Veterinarian, herewith appended. 



Very respectfully, 



Victor A. Norgaard, 

 Territorial Veterinarian.
