alone, but includes such materials as hay, straw, grain, manure, 

 grain bags and utensils. Where the animals are killed by the 

 United States Bureau of Animal Industry, it does not imply that 

 the material is released from quarantine until the premises have 

 been properly disinfected and the owner has permission from the 

 Chief of the Cattle Bureau of the State Board of Agriculture to 

 remove any materials from the building. 



Grain men are forbidden to remove grain bags from premises 

 where the disease exists, until the same have been properly dis- 

 infected. 



As the killing of cattle on some farms will probably cause the 

 farm hands to seek employment in other places in some instances, 

 all cattle owners in infected localities are advised of the danger of 

 hiring men who have been working on infected premises, unless 

 proper disinfecting measures have been taken. All overalls, 

 jumpers and other outside garments that can be washed should 

 be washed in hot water containing five per cent of crude carbolic 

 acid. Rubbers and rubber boots should be washed off with the 

 same solution. Old boots and hats, and old woolen clothes and 

 the like, that cannot be properly disinfected, should be burned, 

 and not taken onto any person's farm that is free from disease. 

 The men sliould also be made to thoroughly wash their hands with 

 soap and warm water, trim and clean the finger nails, and then 

 rinse their hands thoroughly with a five per cent solution of crude 

 carbolic acid in water. If the men take proper precautions in 

 going from one place to another, there will be no danger in carry- 

 ing the disease in this way ; but if these precautions are not taken, 

 the danger exists. 



Cattle owners are also advised, as a further preventive measure, 

 to prohibit the trespassing of persons from other farms upon their 

 premises, especially butchers travelling from place to place in 

 search of beef cows and veal calves. The latter class of men are 

 especially dangerous, and their access to premises should be for- 

 bidden by owners in every instance.

 Chief of Cattle Bureau. 



Soon after it became apparent that rules and regulations 

 were necessary as to the use of buildings and their contents, 

 as the animals that were not killed recovered, or where they 

 were killed and the premises were disinfected by the disin-
