so far as they relate to Glanders, and to consider whether 

 any more effective measures could with advantage be taken 

 to prevent the spread of that disease. The inquiry was 

 limited to the examination of the efficacy of the existing 

 system of dealing with glanders, and to the consideration of 

 whether any, and if so what, alteration was desirable. 



The committee recommend, inter alia, that the Board of 

 Agriculture should exercise a more extended supervision 

 over the working of the Glanders or Farcy Order, that it 

 should be obligatory for veterinary surgeons and occupiers or 

 owners of knackers' yards to notify cases of diseases, that 

 horses which react to the mallein test should be considered as 

 possible sources of infection, and that the slaughter of all 

 animals showing " clinical " symptoms of glanders should 

 be made compulsory. 



The committee make certain recommendations as to com- 

 pensation, and also suggest that the Board of Agriculture 

 should conduct experiments with regard to the use and 

 influence of mallein.
