It had previously been the custom of the Board to order 

 the inspectors to make the regular inspection in the fall of 

 the year. This had been found unsatisfactory, as in a great 

 many instances it is the custom for the owners to leave their 

 cattle out until late in the fall, and it frequently happened 

 that at the time of the inspection all the animals had not 

 been taken up from pasture. Because of this, the Board 

 did not think it possible that the work could be done 

 by the inspectors without passing over many animals ; but, 

 as the Legislature did not grant the appropriation until late 

 in the season, it had been found impossible to make a change.
