all commerce in the domestic animals from localities which 
contain affected animals, or from which the source of contagion 
can he conveyed. The details of procedure for these cases will 
be the result of mature deliberation, requiring more time than we 
have at our disposal here, but the facts are indisputable. Other 
countries to their cost have procrastinated as we are now doing, 
ane have paid for it in immense losses, and the ruin of their 
cattle trade.
