lung plague. All cattle having been in close contact with those 
infected with lung plague will he killed or placed in strict quar¬

They will also, as they may deem to be the most prudent, order 
either the slaughter or close quarantine of all animals suspected 
of infection with lung plague or being in a place infected. 
The rules provide for the total destruction of the carcasses 
of diseased animals, including the hide, by fire or otherwise ; but 
in cases where animals suspected of contagion are killed and are 
found to be healthy, the carcass may be sold under such regula¬ 
tions as the Commission may prescribe, and in case the amount 
received for the carcass exceeds the appraised value of the ani¬ 
mal, the excess will be paid to the owner. The rules provide for 
slaughtering animals on the infected premises, and for deposing 
of the carcasses, when practicable, there. An appeal is given 
persons aggrieved from the decision of the State Veterinarian to 
the Commission, but pending the disposition of the appeal, the 
restrictions imposed shall stand in full force. The State and 
Assistant Veterinarians are required to make monthly reports to 
the Commission. They are also charged to use diligence in the 
case of circus troupes, bands of gypsies, and herds of horses in 
the hands of traders to detect cases of glanders, and applies the 
same rule as in other cases. They are charged to observe the 
greatest forbearance consistent with the public safety in dealing 
with persons so unfortunate as to possess diseased animals. The 
same document also contains important suggestions as to disin¬ 
fection of premises, etc .—National Live-Stock Journal.
