THE USE BOOK. 147 



Whenever the stock in any locality is known to be 

 infected with a contagious disease, or notice to that 

 effect has been given the Forester by the Bureau of 

 Animal Industry, the owners of all stock to be grazed 

 in National Forests must, if required to do so, subject 

 the stock to inspection, and, if found necessary, have 

 such stock dipped or otherwise treated before it is al- 

 lowed to enter. At any time during the period for 

 which a grazing permit has been issued, if -the stock is 

 found to be infected with a contagious disease, it must 

 be clipped or otherwise treated in accordance with the 

 instructions of the inspectors of the Bureau of Animal 

 Industry, or the permit will be canceled and the stock 

 removed from the National Forest. 



The owners of all stock grazed under permit must 

 comply with the live-stock laws of the State or Terri- 

 tory, or their permits will be canceled. Rangers will 

 report at once any violation of the live-stock laws, and 

 will assist the stock owners to protect their property 

 against loss by theft. 



PROTECTION OF GAME AND STOCK. 



REG. 74. All Forest officers will cooperate with State or 

 Territorial officials, so far as they can without undue in- 

 terference with their regular Forest work, to enforce local 

 laws for the protection of game and stock. When au- 

 thorized to do so by the proper State officers, they will, 

 without additional pay, except bounties and fees offered 

 by associations and States, act as game wardens with full 

 power to enforce the local laws. If not so authorized, 

 they will promptly inform the State officials of all viola- 

 tions discovered. (Appendix, p. 221.)
