76 The Farmer's Veterinary Adviser. 



7th. Markets or fairs in infected localities must not be 

 held. 



8th. The expiration of the period of incubation will lead 

 to the development of cases of disease, and wherever these 

 appear the herd must be even more rigidly segregated. 



9th. In the case of deadly contagia the whole herd should 

 be at once condemned, appraised at not less than two-thirds 

 their sound value, and promptly slaughtered. The carcases 

 of animals that show no disease after death may be sold as 

 human food, in the case of certain diseases, but not in all. 

 To making such into canned food there is no objection. 

 Hides should only be removed after a prolonged steeping in 

 solution of chloride of lime. The carcases of the diseased 

 are best destroyed by lire, or disinfected by boiling, but they 

 may, when necessary, be deeply buried in a dry, porous soil, 

 where the free circulation of air will secure an early disin- 

 fection. 



10th. The building, utensils, yards, etc., with which the 

 infected hei'd has come in contact must be subjected to a 

 thorough disinfection. (See below, Disinfection.) 



11th. The infected buildings must be left empty until all 

 danger has passed. This may entail thorough aeration for 

 several months after -disinfecting applications have been 

 made. 



12th. Hay, fodder, feed, litter, etc., in infected buildings 

 should be destroyed. 



13tli. Manure from infected places must be burned or dis- 

 infected with chloride of lime.

 ited witli those that are susceptible. 



3d. Disinfect all blankets, or other clothing and utensils
