No. 4.] CATTLE COMMISSIONERS' REPORT. 445 



Whenever specific animals are quarantined or isolated under 

 the provisions of sections seven, twenty-six and forty-five of this act, 

 more than ten days upon such premises, as suspected of being 

 afflicted with a contagious disease, and the owner is forbidden to sell 

 any of the product thereof for food . . . the expense of such quar- 

 antine shall be paid by the Commonwealth. 



Inasmuch as neither the law nor the regulations issued by 

 the commission forbid the sale of the product of any animal 

 quarantined, except the milk from cows, it was necessary to 

 prescribe the use of quarantine orders, relating to such ani- 

 mals, differing from those that were used in the case of all 

 others. In consequence the following order of quarantine, 

 relating to cows in milk suspected of being tuberculous, was 

 prescribed by the commission : — 



Order of Quarantine.

To owner (or person in charge). 



You are hereby notified that, by virtue of the powers and authority in 

 me vested by law, I have caused to be isolated and placed in quarantine in 

 upon your premises, to wit, the milch cow described as 



follows, under suspicion of having the disease known as tuberculo- 



sis, a contagious disease under the law. 



You and all other persons whom it may concern are hereby forbidden to 

 remove the same from said place of quarantine for the purpose of slaughter 

 or for any other purpose whatsoever, or otherwise to break said quaran- 

 tine, until the further order of the local Board of Health, the Cattle Com- 

 mission or some one of its members. 



You are notified that until this quarantine is removed said cow is deemed 

 to be diseased. You are warned of the danger of using the milk there- 

 from, and are forbidden to sell or otherwise dispose of it in any market. 



The Commonwealth will pay the actual expense of this quarantine 

 which may be incurred after the tenth day, upon your returning to the 

 Board of Cattle Commissioners a satisfactory certificate of such expense. 



Inspector. 

 Use a separate order for each animal.
