for inspection and disposition, and all persons hay- 
ing the animals in charge must submit to the in- 
spection of the stock. Whenever in order to pre-

such live stock, and the compensation is either by 
private agreement with the owner, or by an ap-

the state in which the owner has his legal resi- 
dence. In practice it is customary for the state 
and the nation to share in this compensation. In- 
spections are made by inspectors of the Depart- 
ment, in the Bureau of Animal Industry, and such 
inspection and certification as may be required 
will be performed without the payment of inspec-

showing freedom from disease or exposure thereto, 
are not permitted to be diverted for feeding, stock-

and certified by an inspector of the bureau. Cer- 
tificates of inspection and treatment must accom- 
pany the stock to the destination, and they then 
become the property of the transportation com- 
pany and must be filed for reference. 
No dead animal may be shipped, or offered for

animals from the original point of shipment in any 
state, territory, or the District of Columbia.
