such animal to run at large or be driven upon any highway, or who shall

 keeper of a public barn who shall knowingly permit any horse or other

Sec. 11. Every city or incorporated town in the state of Iowa shall 

 have the power to prescribe regulations governing the sale of milk and 

 meat and all dairy and meat products within the incorporated territory 

 of such city or town. Said regulations may prohibit the sale of all milk 

 and dairy products from herds which have not been subjected to the 

 tuberculin test and found free from tuberculosis within the period of one 

 year. In carrying out such regulations the authorities of incorporated 

 cities and towns, or the owners of dairy herds furnishing milk or dairy 

 products thereto, may call upon the state live stock board for an inspec- 

 tion and testing of herds and domestic anmials, and dairy products and 

 meat products, in accordance with the provisions of this act. The owner 

 of a herd of cattle who desires to sell milk within the incorporated ter- 

 ritory of such city or town as established requirements that cows furnish- 

 ing milk to be sold therein shall first be tested .by the tuberculin test, 

 may apply to the state live stock sanitary board for examination of his 

 herd. Said application shall be in writing upon a blank form provided 

 by said board, and shall include an agreement on the part of the owner 

 or owners of the herd, to disinfect his premises should diseased cattle 

 be found, to reconstruct the barns, sheds and stables in which said cat- 

 tle are sheltered, in accordance with the regulations of the board, and 

 to follow the instructions of said board designated to prevent the rein- 

 fection of the herd and to suppress the disease or prevent the spread 

 thereof. As soon as practicable after receiving such application filled 

 out in proper manner the state live stock sanitary board shall cause the 

 herd in question to be examined. If, after such an examination tubercular 

 animals are found therein the said board shall have authority to take 

 such animals and make such disposition of them as it considers 

 most economical. Before being removed from the premises 

 of the owner there shall be appointed three competent and disinterested 

 men, one appointed by the state board, one by the owner and the third 

 by the first two, to appraise such animals at their cash value. Such ap- 

 praisal shall in no case exceed thirty-five dollars ($35.00) for a cow, ex- 

 cept in the case of pure bred cattle where the pedigree shall be proved 

 by certificate of registry from the herd books where registered, and in 

 that case the maximum appraisal shall not exceed seventy-five dollars 

 ($75.00). The state live stock sanitary board shall dispose of such ani- 

 mal to the best advantage and with the least possible loss. If upon 

 slaughter such animal is found by the inspector in charge to be free 

 from contagious or infectious diseases, then the full amount of such ap- 

 praisal shall, when properly certified by the president and secretary of 

 the state live stock sanitary board, be paid to the owner of such animal 

 from any funds of the state treasury not otherwise appropriated. But
