“Fae 8. Davip B. HILL, | 
By the governor: 
‘ WILLIAM G. RICE; 
Private Secretary. 
A force has just been organized in the counties of Westchester 
\ New York, Richmond, Ki <ings, and Queens sufficiently large to tag and 
re register all bovine animals in these counties. The cattle have. been 
~ quarantined and all movement prohibited unless a permit is first ob 
_ tained from an inspector of this Department. This system is now 
_ (January 26) beginning to work smoothly, and within the next ea 
or two the whole distr ict will be ae thorough supervision. 4 
_ From January 1 to December 31, 1887, there were inspected in New — 
York 1,511 herds of cattle, containing 25,122 animals. Post-mortem 
~ examinations were made upon 1,347 animals, and of these 447 were ~ 
found to be affected with pleuro- “AHO ati The total number, ey 
animals slaughtered in New York because affected with this disease. 
was 266, and “the number slaughtered for exposure was 736, ene ‘ 
a total of 1,002 head. The owners received from the Department ae.) 
compensation for the diseased animals $6,317.25, an average of $23.75 _ 
per head; and for the exposed animals $15,577.41, an. average of $21.16 ry 
etn POL head. 
The total expenses in New York oe the suppression of pleuro- _pneu- 
-monia have been, to December 1887, $30,632.49. Of, this sum 
$21,894.66 was paid as cape ae for slaughtered cattle, - The 
miscellaneous os Ue ne $156.95; the salaries, $6,036.85; the trav- — 
eling expenses were $2,544.03. The amount paid for eattle was to all 
iM othen expenses as | to 0.39. 
‘In New York the work has been under substantially the same con- 
ditions as in Maryland, with many large herds infected and these 
easily found, and until recently without any a ttempt to supervise all, 
movement of cattle within the infected counties. The relation of 
>. the different items of expenditure was also very much the same in . 
oy: | the two cases. 
iY 4 In New York there has been a market for the carcasses of axpieedil 
animals, and therefore the compensation paid for such animals was 
Via ‘legs than for the diseased ones. In New Jersey the law is such that 
. itis, asa rule, impracticable to utilize the carcasses of exposed ae hak 4 
ae: and hence the average compensation for these has been greater than . 
_ for the diseased ones, Tak ing these variable conditions into consid- 
-. eration, it will be observed that the various items of expenditure 
correspond quite closely in the different States. ’
