and regulations, because he considered that he had no authority to 
do this in the absence of a statute authorizing him to take such ac- 
tion. This work Had been for some years under the direction of the 
State board of health, and it was placed in the hands of the officers 
of the Bureau of Animal Industry to be carried on in accordance with 
the new rules by the consent both of the governor and of this board,
