State and National Measures. ^\ 



while calves. Mr. Harvey, of Glasgow, packed his calves 

 in close buildings, sandwiching them between sick ani- 

 mals, and thus passed all susceptible ones through the 

 disease. He afterward turned these out on a farm to 

 grow up and finally introduced them into his city dairy 

 as milch cows. The loss of 20 per cent, of his calves 

 was a small outlay as compared with as many cows in 

 milk; so that he found the course quite a profitable one. 

 It is needless to say that this practice is still more ob- 

 jectionable than inoculation, and like that should bq 

 strictly prohibited wherever measures are being taken to 

 eradicate the disease.

(a) Prevent Importation from Infected Countries or Chan- 

 nels. 



Tliis subject has been already discussed above and 

 need only be referred to here as indispensable to the 

 stamping out of the disease. It is needless to attempt 

 to crush within our own borders' that which we are con- 

 stantly introducing the seeds of from abroad. As well 

 keep sowing our land with thistles while we are toiling 

 day and night to eradicate them. 



(&) Proclaim Infected Localities. 



This is all essential for the protection of the public 

 .who could not otherwise avoid such places in the pur- 

 chase and transit of stock. The insertion of such proc- 

 lamation in the local papers and the posting of it in the 

 post-offices or other places of public resort, will usually 

 serve every purpose. The proclaimed district may be 

 one or more towns, counties, or states, as the case may 

 be, and thus the proclamation may come from Governor 

 or President, in different cases.
