12 REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 



value of the animals condemned and certify to the same in writing under oath, and 

 the amount so fixed by said board shall be paid to the owner of the animals con- 

 demned. Should the owner of the animals condemned be dissatisfied with the ap- 

 praisement, he may appeal from said appraisement to the circuit court of the United 

 States, and the amount found by said court to be the value of the condemned 

 animals will be paid to the owner. 



(9) Whenever it is deemed necessary by the Chief of the Bureau of Animal In- 

 dustry to supervise and inspect any of the lines of transportation operating in the 

 United States, that do business in and through more than one State, or connect with 

 lines doing business in and through other States, and the boats, cars, and stock- 

 yards in connection with the same, he shall designate suitable inspectors for that 

 purpose, and make all necessary regulations for the quarantine and disinfection of 

 all stock-yards, cars, boats, and other vehicles of transportation in which have been, 

 or in which have been transported animals affected with a contagious disease or 

 suspected to have been affected with such a disease. Such cars and other vehicles 

 of transportation declared in quarantine shall not be again used to transport, store, or 

 shelter animals or merchandise until certified to be free of contagion by a certificate 

 signed by the inspector supervising their disinfection, and such stock-yards shall 

 not again have animals placed in them until likewise declared free of contagion. 



(10) All quarantined stock, premises, and buildings will be under the charge and 

 supervision of an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry, and shall be in no 

 case free from quarantine until so ordered by the Chief of the Bureau. 



(11) Whenever any inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry is prevented or 

 obstructed, or interfered with in the discharge of his duty in the examining of ani- 

 mals suspected to have a contagious disease, or in placing under quarantine animals 

 or premises, or in disinfecting them, he will report the same to the Chief of the Bu- 

 reau. He will also call upon the sheriff or other police authorities of the locality 

 where said obstruction or interference occurs for aid and protection in the perform- 

 ance of his duty. Should such sheriff or police authorities neglect or refuse to ren- 

 der such aid and protection he will then apply to the United States marshal of said 

 district for the necessary force and assistance needed to protect him in the carrying 

 out of the duties imposed upon him by these rules and regulations and the provisions 

 of the law by authority of which they are made. He will also file with the United 

 States district attorney information of all the facts connected with such obstruction 

 and mterierence and the names of the party or parties causing the same. 



(12) Should from any cause the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry find that 

 it is impossible to enforce these rules and regulations in any State, and that in conse- 

 quence thereof there is great danger that pleuro-pneumonia will spread from said 

 State to other States and Territories, he will report the same to the Commissioner of 

 Agriculture. Thereupon the Commissioner of Agriculture, if he believes the exigency 

 of the case requires it, will declare said State, in which pleuro-pneumonia exists and 

 in which it is impossible to carry out these rules and regulations, to be quarantined 

 against the exportation of animals of the kind diseased to any other State, Territory, 

 or foreign country. Said order of the Commissioner declaring the quarantine of a 

 State will be published in at least two papers in said State once a week during the 

 existence of said quarantine, and in such other papers as he may select. Notification 

 of the order declaring said quarantine will be certified to the governor of the State 

 quarantined, as well as to the governors of all other States and Territories, and to 

 the agents of all transportation companies doing business in or through said State. 

 All animals of the kind quarantined against in said State will be deemed as animals 

 " affected with contagious disease," and any person moving or transporting any of 

 said animals to any other State or Territory, or delivering 'any of such, animals to any 

 transportation company to be so transported, will be prosecuted under sections 6 and 

 7 of the act of Congress approved May 29, 1884. Provided, however, that any 

 animal of the kind quarantined against that has been examined by an inspector of 

 the Bureau of Animal Industry and by a certificate in writing signed by such inspec- 

 tor declared to be free from pleuro-pneumonia, maybe exported to any other State or 

 Territory, and provided further that said animal shall be exported within forty-eight 

 hours after such examination and signing of said certificate, so that said animal may 

 not be exposed to disease before leaving said State. 



(13) Before giving the certificate provided for by Rule 12 the inspector must be 

 furnished with an affidavit made by two reputable and disinterested persons, stat- 

 ing that they have known the animals to be examined for a period of six months 

 immediately prior to the date of examination, and that during that time the ani- 

 mals have not been exposed to pleuro-pneumonia, that they have not been in any 

 of the buildings or on any of the premises, or among any of the herds known to 

 be affected with pleuro-pneumonia, or suspected to be so affected. The inspector 

 may also require further proof as to whether said animals to be examined have 

 been exposed to pleuro-pneumonia.
