ously to convince the owner of the premises or stock of the 

 necessity for making such examination. Failing to secure 

 admittance to proceed, the inspector should notify the 

 station inspector in charge, who shall immediately take 

 the matter up with the State officials with a view to having 

 the inspector accompanied by a local police official. Pend- 

 ing admittance to the premises or animals, the inspector 

 should immediately call upon the State authorities to 

 place such premises or animals under close quarantine, 

 under guard, until the examination can be made. 



Where inspectors are forcibly assaulted no resistance 

 should be shown except that actuated by self-defense. 

 Telegraphic notice should be at once forwarded, through 

 the inspector in charge, to the Washington office, who will 

 advise of the legal action to be taken. 



Shipments from Quarantined Areas. — In some in- 

 stances shipments from quarantined areas, where ship- 

 ment has been permitted for immediate slaughter only, 

 have been diverted or sold at point of destination as 

 stockers or feeders, and infection of new territory has 

 resulted. Efforts should be made to see that shipments of 

 stock so consigned are slaughtered with as little delay 

 as possible, and the cooperation of the State authorities 

 should be enlisted to this end. 



Where infection is discovered following any violation of 

 the quarantine regulations no appraisement should be 

 made by bureau inspectors of animals so handled without 

 special authorization from the chief of the bureau. 



Infection at Establishments under Federal Meat 

 Inspection. — Where animals are found infected in the 

 pens of an establishment under Federal meat inspection 

 the carcasses should be condemned under the meat- 

 inspection regulations. The hides from these carcasses 

 may be immersed for not less than four hours in a mixture 

 composed of 1 part of bichlorid of mercury to 1,000 parts
