lating the movements of cattle, and recently, with that object in view, 
action has been taken in some localities to regulate the movement of 
cattle from one county to another. Regulation of intercounty 
movement should be encouraged because it brings the matter nearer 
home to the live-stock owner. It is he who must take a very impor¬ 
tant part all through the campaign of tuberculosis eradication, and 
if he is in favor of measures to prevent the spread of the disease and 
faithfully abides by those measures, eradication will be accomplished 
more speedily. 
From what has been said already about the dangers of shipping

whenever possible. After diseased animals arc found and removed 
from the premises, a very thorough cleaning and washing of the inside 
of the barn and other buildings where the animals have been should 
be made. This must be followed by the proper application of some 
approved disinfectant. The use of disinfectants without first doing 
the necessary and proper cleaning is ineffective for the reason that 
the germs of the disease must be exposed. All utensils or anything 
else that may have become contaminated by use around the diseased 
animals should likewise be cleaned and disinfected. The manuro 
and refuse must be hauled from barnyards or lots to plowed fields, 
spread thin, and exposed to the sunlight. The yards and lots, in¬ 
cluding feed troughs, water troughs, and fences can then be sprayed 
properly with the disinfectant.
