1. The sale or removal of sick or healthy swine from herds, 
pens or runs in which the disease existed. The sale or removal 
of any other domestic animals from their premises that had the 
run of such hog-yards when swine plague existed among the hogs. 
At such times owners should be forbidden allowing their 
horses or cattle, which are being used for driving or work over 
or upon any public highway, to have the run of, or from being 
led into or across the territory of such infected yards or runs. 
They should also be forbidden leaving any wagons or other farm 
machinery in such infected hog-yards or runs, even though the 
plague did not exist among their hogs at the time. 
2. The removal of hay, straw, manure, offal or earth from 
swine plague-infested hog-yards or runs, or from such in which 
the disease had existed within the previous twelve months, and 
the conveyance of the same over any public way, or the unloading 
any dangerous material upon any part of such a public way should 
be forbidden by law. 
(Owners of diseased swine should use every precaution in dis¬ 
tributing such materials over any part of their own premises, as 
they may prove a source of disease to healthy hogs at any time.) 
3. All hogs should be watered from wells. 
a. Watering infested herds of swine, or even single animals, 
when diseased, from running streams, or allowing such diseased 
hogs to have any access to the banks of such streams, should be 
forbidden by law. 
(That the disease frequently follows the course of and extends 
from the banks of such streams has been frequently demonstrated 
by costly experiences.) 
b. Building rendering establishments or packing-houses in 
positions where the drainage from them can in any way gain ac¬ 
cess to running streams, should be forbidden by law. 
4. Owners of swine plague-infested herds, or sick hogs, should 
be forbidden visiting the hogs of other persons, or allowing other 
persons to inspect their hogs, or enter their hog-pens or yards, 
unless such person was an authorized Government veterinarian or 
inspector. 
5. The farm or house dog should be kept chained on premises
