(c) Where cattle of the modified quarantined area in course of interstate transportation and cattle not of the modified quarantined area are yarded in adjacent pens, there shall be a space not less than 10 feet wide between the pens, which space shall not be occupied by cattle, and there shall be on each side of this space a tight board fence not less than 5 feet high: Provided, That the pens used for cattle of the modified quarantined area shall be inclosed by a tight board fence not less than 6 feet high on the inside. If for any reason, such as delays or wrecks, it is necessary to unload cattle of the modified quarantined area which are being transported as "Southern Cattle" into pens or yards which have not been specially provided for that purpose as herein before indicated, the transportation company shall immediately forward notice of such unloading and the reasons therefor to the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, at Washington, D. C. (d) The proper officers of the transportation companies shall securely affix to both sides of all cars carrying interstate shipments of cattle from the modified quarantined area, except as hereinafter provided, durable placards not less than 5 by 8 inches in size, on which shall be printed with permanent black ink and in boldface letters not less than 1 inches in height the words "SOUTHERN CATTLE." These placards shall also show the name of the place from which the shipment was made, the date of the shipment (which must correspond with the date of the waybills and other papers), the name of the transportation company, and the name of the place of destination. Each of the waybills, conductors' manifests, memoranda, and bills of lading pertaining to such shipments by cars or boats shall have the words "SOUTHERN CATTLE" plainly written or stamped upon its face. Whenever such shipments are transferred to another transportation company or into other cars or boats, or are rebilled or reconsigned from any point outside of the modified quarantined area to a point other than the original destination, the cars into which said cattle are transferred and the new waybills, conductors' manifests, memoranda, and bills of lading covering said shipments by cars or boats shall be marked as herein specified for cars carrying said cattle from the modified quarantined area, and for the billing, etc., covering the same. If for any reason the placards required by this regulation are removed from the car or are destroyed or rendered illegible they shall be immediately replaced by the transportation company or its agents, the intention being that legible placards shall be maintained on the car from the time such shipments leave the modified quarantined area until they arrive at destination. (e) No car or boat containing an interstate shipment of cattle of the modified quarantined area shall receive on board cattle which are not of the modified quarantined area. Interstate shipments of cattle of the modified quarantined area shall not be made to points outside of said modified quarantined area where proper facilities have not been provided for transferring the said cattle from the cars or landing to the stock yards and slaughterhouses without passing them over public highways, unless permission for such passing is first had and obtained from the proper authorities at point of destination. (f) The cars and boats used for the interstate transportation of cattle of the modified quarantined area, and also the chutes, alleyways, and pens not reserved for the exclusive use of such cattle used en route and at points of destination, shall be disinfected in the following manner: Remove all litter and manure. This litter and manure may be disinfected by mixing it with lime or saturating it with a 5 per cent solution of pure carbolic acid; or, if not disinfected, it shall be stored where no cattle can come in contact with it during the period from February 1 to October 31, inclusive, of each year. Wash the cars and the watering and feeding troughs with water until clean. Saturate the entire surface of the cars, including the inner surface of the car doors, and the fencing, troughs, chutes, and floors of the pens with a mixture made of 1 pounds of lime and one-fourth pound of pure carbolic acid to each gallon of water, or with a solution made by dissolving 4 ounces of chlorid of lime to each gallon of water. (g) Cars which have carried cattle within the modified quarantined area of any State or Territory shall be cleaned and disinfected before being taken to any point in another State or Territory not in the modified quarantined area. This provision shall not apply to cars containing cattle in the course of interstate transportation for immediate slaughter, in accordance with these regulations. Done at Washington this thirty-first day of October, 1907. Witness my hand and the seal of the Department of Agriculture. [SEAL.] JAMES WILSON, Secretary of Agriculture. Notice Regarding the Interstate Movement of Cattle and Swine which are Affected with Tuberculosis. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY, Washington, D. C., November 6, 1907. The attention of managers and agents of railroads and transportation companies, of stockmen, and others interested in the interstate movement of cattle and swine is directed to the provisions of section 6 of the act of Congress approved May 29, 1884, entitled "An act for the establishment of a Bureau of Animal Industry," etc. This section reads in part as follows: "SEC. 6. That no railroad company within the United States, or the owners or masters of any steam or sailing or other vessel or boat, shall receive for transportation or transport, from one State or Territory to another, or from any State into the District of Columbia, or from the District into any State, any live stock affected with any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease, and especially the disease known as pleuro-pneumonia; nor shall any person, company, or corporation deliver for such transportation to any railroad company, or master or owner of any boat or vessel, any live stock, knowing them to be effected with any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease; nor shall any person, company, or corporation drive on foot or transport in private conveyance from one State or Territory to another, or from any State into the District of Columbia, or from the District into any State, any live stock, knowing them to be affected with any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease, and especially the disease known as pleuropneumonia." (23 Stat. L., 32.) Under this section it is a misdemeanor, punishable by fine and imprisonment, for any person or corporation to deliver for transportation, receive for transportation, transport, drive on foot, or otherwise remove from one State or Territory or District of Columbia into another State or Territory or the District of Columbia any cattle or swine which are affected with tuberculosis, as disclosed by a physical examination or by the tuberculin test, or by any other means. In cases where evidence is furnished the Department that any person, firm, or corporation has transported, driven on foot, or otherwise removed from one State or Territory or the District of Columbia into another State or Territory or the District of Columbia any cattle or swine which are affected with tuberculosis, knowing from a physical examination or from the tuberculin test, or by any other means, that such animals are affected with tuberculosis, vigorous prosecution will be had in the Federal courts under section 6 of the act of May 28, 1884, supra. JAMES WILSON, Secretary of Agriculture. (AMENDMENT No. 2 To B. A. I. ORDER No. 142.) Amendment to Regulation 1, Designating East Alburg, Vermont, as a Quarantine Station. U. S.
