, Aeticle 5. 



8. It is to bo observed tbat the provision of article 5 with regard to locality and 

 character of places for covering and the prohibition against covering in a place not cor- 

 responding to these regulations, not only refer to the employment of township bulls but 

 also to bulls of private parties, whether they be used for covering their own or others' 

 cattle. 



Aeticle 6. 



9. The provisions of article 6 are not applicable to bulls kept on Government or 

 royal farms. 



According to the provisions of article 6, sections 1 and 2 (also article 10), in future the 

 use of bulls without a permit is allowed only so far as they are kept by private persons 

 exclusively for the covering- of their own cattle. Although the exceptional use of a bull 

 without a permit for the covering of others' cattle is not punishable, yet the police au- 

 thorities are to see that the provisions of the law are not thereby evaded; and special 

 attention is directed to the circumstance that a frequent or regular use of private bulls 

 without a permit is punishable, even if no fee be paid. 



Permits can only be Withheld for the reasons mentioned in article 6, section 3. 



"Township bulls " in the meaning of the law are to be considered as not only those 

 mentioned in article 6, section 1, but also those which are kept under contract by third 

 parties for breeding purposes in the district. 



Aeticle 7. 



10. In case of any change in the ownership of a bull the right granted by the permit 

 passes over to the new owner. In such case the permit may be transferred by means of 

 an indorsement upon it from the president of the board of inspection which issued it, 

 provided that the identity of the bull transferred is established. Such transfer is to be 

 entered in the minutes of the board of inspection. (Section 18.) 



11. If there come to the knowledge of the authorities facts indicating the unfitness of 

 a bull for breeding purposes, and a consequent necessity for the withdrawal of the per- 

 mit, the bull owner is in the fi.rst place, in consideration of article 7, section 2, of the 

 law and of the costs arising from the appeal, to be requested to give up the permit. 



If this summons is not complied with, the board, which can only in full meeting order 

 the withdrawal of the permit, is to be assembled. 



The county authorities are to inform the board of inspection which issued it of the 

 withdrawal or voluntary return of a permit in order that the necessary note may be 

 made by them in the minutes (section IB). (See further section 21, sections 1 and 3.) 



If a township bull, even though not unfit for breeding purposes, yet proves not adapt- 

 ed to the breed prevailing in the township, the county authorities shall require the 

 removal of this bull from the township, but no withdrawal of the permit in such case 

 is legal. 



Articles 8-11. 



12. The election of the board of inspection is to take place in such manner that the 

 ordinary members, the substitutes, the president, and the vice-president are chosen by 

 separate ballots. An ordinary member maybe elected as vice-president pro tem. In 

 this case every time such member acts as vice-president a substitute is to fill his place 

 in the meetings. 



Substitutes are not elected "^as such for any particular regular member, but for any 

 regular member. Therefore, the president may choose as to which one of the substitutes 

 he wishes to call in iij individual cases. 



Wherever no special reasons exist to the contrary, that substitute is to be called upon 

 whose substitution involves the least expense. 



13. In order to avoid delay in the election of the board of inspection, the county au- 

 thorities are to summon the committee of the agricultural district association at least 

 four weeks before the meeting, at which the president and his substitute, and events 

 ually all the members of the board of inspection, are to be elected. (According to arti- 

 cle 8, section 3.) , 



It is left to their judgment so to provide that the meeting appoint the president or 

 vice-president, or both of them, from those elected by the committee of the agricultural 

 district union, and to elect at the same time in their stead one more regular member and 

 one more substitute. 



If no doubt exists that the committee of the agricultural district union intend to avail 

 themselves of their right of voting, the meeting may go through the election of president
