412 REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE. 
they have gained admittance they must either be destroyed with the pigs, if few and 
valueless, or they must be shut up in a secluded place, or sent to a safe distance from 
all hogs until they can be certified as healthy, when they may be disinfected and re- 
leased. No danger of a fatal extension among sheep is to be apprehended; the dis- 
ease appears to be as harmless to the sheep as the fatal glanders is to the dog, yet the 
infected sheep is evidently dangerous to the hog, and must be carefully secluded in 
all measures for the suppression of the plague.
