DIPPED SCAI5RY CATTLE. Ol' " CATTLE EXPOSED TO 



SCABIES. "' Jis the case may be, written or stamped upon 

 its face. Whenever such shipments are transferred to 

 another transportation company or into other cars or 

 into otlicr boats, or are rebilled or reconsigned to a 

 point otiier than the original destination, the cars into 

 whicli said cattle are transferred and the new waybills, 

 conductors' manifests, memoranda, and bills of lading 

 covering sm-h shipments by cars or boats shall be 

 marked as herein specified for cars first carrying said 

 cattle and for the billing, etc., covering the same. If 

 for any reason the placards required bj^ this regula- 

 tion are removed from the car or are destroyed or ren- 

 dered illegible, they shall be innnediately replaced by 

 the transportation company or its agents ; the inten- 

 tion being that legible placards shall be maintained on 

 the cars from the time of shipment until they arrive 

 at destination or point of dipping or spraying, and the 

 disposition of the cars is indicated by an inspector of 

 the Bureau of Animal Industry. 



Regulation 25. The dips now approved by the De- 

 partment are the lime-and-sulphur dip. the tobacco- 

 and-sulphur dip, and Beaumont crude petroleum. The 

 lime-and-sulphur dip is made in the proportion of 12 

 pounds of unslaked lime and 24 pounds of flowers 

 of sulphur to 100 gallons of water. The tobacco-and- 

 sulphur dip is made with sufficient extract of tobacco 

 or nicotine solution to give a n.iixture containing not 

 less than five one-bundredths of 1 per cent of nicotine 

 and 2 per cent flowers of sulphur. Proprietary diiis 

 may be used under provisions similar to those set out 

 in Regulation 33. When Beaumont crude petroleum 

 or similar oil or an emulsion thereof is used as a dip 

 or spray for cattle diseased with or exposed to scabies, 

 one dipping or spraying only is necessary. The De- 

 partment disclaims responsibility for any loss or 

 damage resulting from the dipping or spraying. 



Regulation 26. Cattle shipped interstate under a 

 certificate from an inspector of the Bureau of Animal 

 Industry are not guaranteed uninterrupted transit, for 

 in the event of the discovery of scabies or of exposure 

 thereto en route the cattle shall thereafter be handled 

 as diseased or exposed cattle, as hereinbefore pro- 

 vided, and the cars or other vehicles and the chutes.
