In the eradication of Glanders, Tuberculosis or other communicable disease the thorough disinfection of premises is essential. This may be gat- isfactorily accomplished by carrying out the following directions: 1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall partitions, floors and other sur- faces until free from cobweks and dust. 2. Remeve all accumulations of filth by scraping, and if woodwork has become decayed, porous or absorbent, it should be removed, burned and replaced with new material. 8. If floor is of earth remove four inches from the surface, and in places where it shows staining with urine a sufficient depth should be re moved to expose fresh earth. All earth removed should be replaced with earth from an uncontaminated source, or a new floor of concrete may be laid, which is very durable and easily cleaned. 4. All refuse and material from stable and barnyard should he re moved to a place not accessible to cattle or hogs in case of disinfecting for tuberculosis, nor accessible to horses or mules in case of disinfecting for glanders. The manure should be spread on fields and turned under, while the wood should be burned. 5. The entire interior of the stable, especially the feeding troughs and drains, should be saturated with a disinfectant, as liquor cresolis com- positus (U. S. P.), or carbolic acid, 6 ounces to every gallon of water in each 29 case. Atter this has dried the stalls, walls and ceilings may be covered with whitewash (lime wash) to each gallon of which should be added 4 eunces of chloride of lime and four ounces of pure carbolic acid. The best method of applying the disinfectant and the lime wash is by means of a strong spray pump, such as those used by orchardists. This method is efficient in disinfection against most of the contagious and infec- tious diseases of animals, and should be applied immediately following any outbreak, and, as a matter of precaution, it may be used once or twice yearly. 6. It is important that arrangements be made to admit a plentiful supply of sunlight and fresh air by providing an ample number of windows, thereby eliminating dampness, bad odors and other insanitary conditions. Good drainage is also very necessary. The us2 of the liquor cresolis compositus, carbolic acid or other coal- tar products around dairy barns, is inadmissible because of the readiness -with which their odor 1s imparted to milk and other dairy products. Bichloride of mercury may be used in the _ gbro- portion of 1 to 800, or 1 pound of bichloride to 100 gallons of water. However, all portions of the stable soiled with manure should first be thoroughly scraped and cleaned, as the albumen contained in ma- nure would otherwise greatly diminish the disinfecting power of the bichlo- ride. Disinfection with this material should be supervised by a veterina- rian or other person trained in the handling of poiscnous drugs and chem- icals, as the bichloride of mercury is a powerful corrosive poison. The mangers and feed boxes, after drying following spraying with this material, should be washed out with hot water, as cattle are especially susceptible to mercurial poisoning. The bickloride solution should be applied by means of a spray pump, as recommended for the uquor cresolis compositus. Perman- ganate of potash, in the strength of 1 part to 2,000 parts of water, makes an excellent stable disinfectant. 30 & special markings There were talven from this lof pad renee neers gegen State of Tennessec, Department of Agriculture whick shipment is destined.

Lincoln County Criminal Docket. The plaintiff in error, George Bishop, has appealed trom a judgment of the Circuit Court of Lincoln County imposing upon him a fine of fifty dollars and the payment of the costs of the case for a violation of the quar- antine Rules and Regulations adopted and promulgated by the Commission- er of Agriculture and State Live Stock Inspector to prevent and restrict the spread of communicable and infectious diesases among domestic animals in this State. The first question arises upon a demurer to the indictment, which was overruled by the trial Judge, and his action in that respect is assigned as error. The indictment is predicated upon Chapter 156 of the Session Acts of 1901, and particularly upon Sections 7 and 8 of said Act, together with certain of the Rules and Regulations adopted in pursuance thereof by the Commissioner of Agriculture and the State Live Stock Inspector. Said Act igs entitled “An Act to prevent the spread of communicable diseases among domestic animals in the State of Tennessee, and to provide greater protec- tion to the live stock industry of the State, and to provide penalties for the violation of this Act, and to repeal Chapter 424 of the Acts of 1899, and to amend Chapter 46 of the Acts of 1907.” Section 7 provides: “That the Commissioner ot Agriculture and the State Live Stock Inspector shall have general supervision of all communi- cable diseases among domestic animals within or that may be in transit through the State, and they are empowered to establish quarantine against any animal or animals thus diseased, whether within or without the State, and may make such rules and regulations against the spread and for the suppression of said diseases as in their judgment may seem necessary and proper and in the enforcement of such rules and regulations they shall have the power to call on any one or more of the peace officers, whose duty it shall be to give all the assistance in their power.” Section 8 provides: “That any person who willfully hinders, ob- structs or otherwise disregards or evades such quarantine as they may de- clare, or violates any rule or reguiation they shall make in attempting to siamp out or restrict the snread of any disease or diseases aforementioned, or who shall resist any peace officer acting under them, or either of them, shall be guilty of a misdemeanur, and upon conviction shall be fined not less than fifty dollars nor more than five hundred dollars, or imprisoned in the county jail for a period of three months, or both, at the discretion of the court.” The first ground of the demurrer interposed hy the defendant oeclow is that “it is not alleged in the indictment found against him in this case that the two cows owned by him. which, it is alleged. were permitted to run ape 32 at large or stray on the public roads, commons and ranges of said county of Lincoln, were infected with any communicable or infectious diseases, or fe- ver ticks, or other communicable disorder.” It is not necessary that the indictment should charge that the cattle which were permitted to run at large were infected with a communicable or infectious disease. The Commissioner of Agriculture and the State Live Stock Inspector are not limited by the statute to making rules which would prohibit live stock already diseasea from running at large, but they are authorized and empowered by Section 7, above quoted, to ‘make such rules and regulations against the spread and for the suppression of said disease or diseases as in their judgment may seem necessary and proper.” Ii is manifest that a rule which went no further than to prohibit cattle which were already known to be afflicted with communicable or infectious diseases from running at large would be comparatively valueless in the way of pre- venting the snread of such diseases. The second and last ground of the demurrer is that “it is not shown in the said indictment what quarantine rules and regulations alleged to have been adopted, established and promulgated by the Commissioner of Agvicul- ture and State Live Stock Inspector of the State of Tennessee have been vi- olated, evaded or disregarded.” We think the indictment sufficient in the particulars indicated. The indictment (omitting formal caption) is as follows, viz.: “That George Bishop, heretofore, on the 23rd day of April, 1909, in the county aforesaid, did willfully violate, evade and disregard the quarantine rules and rezula- tions adopted, established and promulgated by the Commissioner of Agricul- ture and State Live Stock Inspector of said State of Tennessee enacted and promulgated by them under 2nd by authority of the Acts of the Genera] As- sembly of said State of Tennessee to prevent and restrict the spread of communicable and infectious diseases among domestic animals in said State, by allowing two cows owned by him, or undev his control, to run at large, or stray on the public roads, commons and ranges of said county of Lincoln, the same being a county in said State of Tennessee, in which the work of tick eradication is being conducted, without first having obtained written permission for such privilege from a duly authorized inspector of said State, and against the peace and dignity of the State.” Under the practice of this State many of the formalities and technical requirements of the common law in respect of indictments have been dis- earded. It is provided by statute that “the statement of facts constituting the offense, in an indictment, shall be in ordinary and concise language, without prolixity or repetition.’ (Shan. Code, Sec. 7077.) We think the indictment in this case shows with sufficient clearness the particulars wherein the defendant has willfully violated, evaded and disregarded the quarantine rvles and regulations adopted, established and promulgated by the Commissioner of Agriculture and State Live Stock Inspector, ete.. in that he bas allowed two cows owned by him to run at large or stray on the publie roads, commons and rarges of Lincoln county, the same being a county in Tennessee in which the work of tick eradication is being conducted, without first having obtained written permission from a duly authorized inspector of the State. The necessary fact of these aver- ments is to charge that the efendant has violated thal particular rule and 38 regulation which prohibits cattle to run at large in the manner stated. The demurrer was properly overzuled. It is insisted on behalf of plaintaiff in error that the evidence does not sustain the verdict of the jury. We think otherwise. In fact, the pioof clearly estabiishes the guilt of the plaintiff in error. A pamphlet copy of the rules and regulations governing cattle quarantine in the State of Ten- nessee, duly proven to have been adopted and promulgated by the Commis- sioner of Agriculture and the State Live Stock Inspector, and in force duving the year of 1809 is found in the record. Section 1 of said rules and regula- tions is as follows: “The fact has been determined by the Commissioner of Agriculture and State Live Stock Inspector, and notice is hereby zi:ven, that a contagious disease known as Splenetic, Southern or Texas Fever ex- ists among caitle in counties and portions of counties situated south or be- low the following described !ine.” Then following the boundary of the quar- entined territery, from which it appears that all that part of Lincoln coun- ty lying south of Elk River is included therein. Section 1 then concludes as follows, viz.: “Now, therefore, we, John Thompson, Commissioner of Agriculture, and W. H. Dunn, Live Stock Inspector, do hereby quarantine the area situated south and below the above-described lines and it is hereby or- dered that cattle of the area south or below the said described line shall not at any time be transported, driven or allowed to drift therefrom to any por- tion of Tennessee north or above said line, except as hereinbefore provided for immediate slaughter. Neither shall cattle of any county within said area be transported, driven or allowed to drift therefrom into any county within said area wherein the work of tick eradication is being conducted, except after inspection and upon written permission issued by a duly author- ized State Inspector.” Section 5 (the particular rule violated by the plaint- iff in error) is as follows, viz.: “No person or persons owning or having in charge any cattle, horses or mules shali permit the same to run at large or stray on any public road, common or range in any county in this State In which the work of tick eradication is conducted, unless the owner shall first obtain written permission for such movement or privilege from a duly authorized inspector of this State; no person shall move or cause to be moved, any cattle or other domestic animal in any manner from the farm, fleld or enclosure in which they are quarantined to any other place except on written permission from a duly authorized State Inspector.” It appears without gerious controversy on the record, that the plaint- iff in error willfully and knowingly permitted two cows owned by him to run at large on the public roads, commons and ranges in that part of Lincoln County south of Elk River on the 23d day of April, 1909 (the date set out in the indictment), for a time theretofore and thereafter. That therefore, to wit, on February 3, 1909, and again on March 13, 1909, notices had appear- ed in the LineccIn County News, a newspaper published in Fayetteville, in Lincoln County, and circulating throughout that county, warning cattle own- ers in Lincoin County south of Elk River that all cattle in that territory must “go off the range” and ‘go under the fence” on and after April 1, 1909. It also appears from the testimony of R. E. Koonce, Live Stock In- spector for Lincoln County, that during the month of April, 1909, and prior to the 23d day of said month, he (Koonce) had a conversation with plaintiff in error roncerning the rules and regulations governing cattle quarantine, 34 and in the course of which cenversation he produced and read to plaintiff in error a copy of said rules and regulations. Plaintiff in error admitted on the witness stand that he had the conversation detailed by Koonce. The la:t assignment of error necessary to be noticed is based upon the refusal of the court below to give in charge te the jury a special request preferred by counsel for plaintiff in error, as follows, viz.: “The court charges that it is the insistence of the State in this case that a rule or 1eg- ulation of the State Live Stock Inspector and Commissioner of Agriculiure has been vioiated in this cass, which rule or regulation has been heretofore shown you in evidence. The court charges that the question of whether the rule is a reasonable one is 2 question of fact for the determination of the jury under the evidence and the charge of the court.” The question of the reasonableness or unreasonableness of the rule or regulation of the Agricultural Department involved in this case was one for the court, and not for the jury to determine. The general rule is that the reasonableness of rules, regulations or by-laws adopted and promulgated by officials or boards pursuant. to authority delegated by the Legislature is to be decided as a question of 'aw, and that such by-law, rule or regulation, if unreasonable, is to be hele void as a matter of iaw; and it is improper to submit the question of the reasonableness of such a by-law, ordinance or regulation to the decision of a jury. (Thompson on Trials, 1057.) The same question in principle has been often before the courts in respect of the determination of the validity of ordinances of municipal cor- porations—wnether they are reasonable or unreésonable. The authorities are practically unanimous in support of the rule that the question of whether an ordinance or by-law of a municipal corporation is reasonable is one of law for the court. Thompson on Trials, Sec. 1056; McQuillin’s Mu- nicipal Ordinances, Sec. 185: Con. v. Worchester, 3 Pick. (Mass.) 462; Hawes v. Chicago, 138 Yl., 653 (42 N. KE. Rep.., 373); State v Boardman, 93 Me, 73 (44 Atl. Rep., 118): City of Austin v. City Cemetery Ass’n, 87 Texas, 330 (38 S. W. Rep., 528; 47 Am. St. Rep., 114); State v. Jersey City, 27 N. J. L., 348. The learned trial Judze did not err in refusing to instruct the jury as requested. It is earnestly insisted by the learned counsel for plaintiff in error that the ‘“rezulation upon which this prosecution is predicated is unreason- able, and, therefore, void as a matter of law.’ In arder to demonstrate the supposed unreasonableness of the regulation, counsel sunpose an extreme case altogther foreign to the facts of the present case. We do not think that the reasonableness of any such rule or regulation is to be tested by its application to extreme illustrations. We have carefully considered the ar- gument of counsel for plaintiff in error in support of the proposition that the regulations in question are unreasonable, and we are unable to concur there- in. Having due regard to the objects sought to be attained, and the exist- ing circumstances and contemporaneous conditions—all of which are proper to be considered—we think the rules and regulations adopted by the Com- missioner of Agriculture and State “ive Stock inspector, and involved in this case, are reasonable and are within the powers conferred by the Act of Assembly, and, therefore, valid. The judgment must bc affirmed. April 2, 1910. (Signed) BEARD, Chief Justice. B13) REGULATIONS OF OTHER STATES ON SHIPMENTS OF LIVE STOCK FROM TENNESSEE INTO THEM.
