te in which the animals are located, when they are condemned 
slaughtered by State authority. 
DISINFECTION. 
12. All necessary disinfection will be conducted by the enr 
yees of the Bureau of Animal Industry. 
INOCULATION. 
13. Inoculation is not recommended by the Department of 
riculture, and it is believed that its adoption with animals that 
to be afterwards sold to £0 into other herds would counteract 
good results which would otherwise follow from the slaughter 
die deceased animals. It may, however be practiced by State 
horities under the following rules: 
14. No herds but those in which pleuro-pneumonia has ap- 
red are to be inoculated. 
15. Inoculated herds are to be quarantined with lock and 
in on each animal, the quarantine restrictions are to remain in 
je as long as any inoculated cattle survive, and these animals 
to leave the premises only for immediate slaughter. 
16. Fresh animals are to be taken into inoculated herds only 
he risk of the owner, and shall be subject to the same rules as 
; other cattle of the inoculated herd. 
IT. The chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry is to be 
mptly notified by the State authorities of each herd inoculated, 
j the final disposition of each member of the herd, of the post- 
rtem appearances, and of any other facts in the history of the 
d which may prove of value. 
I The co-operation of Governors, of State live-stock commis- 
is, and of other officers who may be in charge of the branch 
jibe service provided for the control of the contagious diseases 
inimals in the States where pleuro-pneumonia exists, is earnestly 
nested under these rules and regulations, which have been 
I rued with a view of securing uniform and efficient action 
, oughout the whole infected district. It is hoped that with a 
, orous enforcement of such regulations, the disease may be 
vented from extending beyond its present limits, and may be 
time entirely eradicated.
