NOTICE TO CATTLEMEN AND DEALERS. 



The following additions to the special quarantine regulations of October 24, 1887, 

 are hereby promulgated and made part thereof, by virtue of the powers therein re- 

 ferred to : 



(1) By agreement with the State weigher, the four yards at the northwest corner 

 of the State scales pens are set apart for the exclusive use of local cattle intended for 

 immediate slaughter. Cattle for sale for immediate slaughter will be admitted by 

 permit to these pens, and can be taken by permit direct to the place of slaughter. 

 These yards must be entered by Garrison Road (Butcher's Lane). 



(2) No cattle from any portion of the quarantined area, extending 6 miles from 

 the city hall of Baltimore, will be admitted to any other of the State scales pens, 

 nor to the Calverton nor Clatrmount stock-yards. 



(3) All cattle, from whatever source, that have once entered the above-named four 

 yards for local butcher cattle must be sent direct to slaughter and nowhere else. 

 Cattle from these pens may be weighed on the western set of scales, to which no 

 other cattle except those intended for immediate slaughter will be admitted. 



(4) Cattle from the counties of Howard, Carroll, Prince George's, and that part of 

 Baltimore County outside of the specially quarantined area extending 6 miles from 

 Baltimore city hall, may be transported to State scales, or either of the stock-yards, 

 as if from unquarantined districts, provided they are accompanied by the special 

 permit and affidavits required for cattle when going out of the State. 



(5) Persons driving cattle from outside counties to the Baltimore market must 

 procure a permit before coming within the 6-mile quarantine limit, otherwise they 

 must go into the four pens above designated for butcher cattle. 



(6) All cattle coming by rail from the quarantined district of this State, outside 

 the 6-mile limit, must be unloaded at the Calverton quarantine yards, unless they 

 are accompanied by the special permit, with affidavits, as required above. 



(7) The Clairniount stock-yards, the Calverton feeding pens, and that portion of 

 the State scale pens, other than those named above, as reserved for local butcher 

 cattle, must be reserved for the exclusive use of cattle coming by rail from the non- 

 quarantined counties of Maryland and from other States.
