[Chapter 412, laws of 1917.] Section 23. The State Veterinarian or any of his deputies or the county veterinarian or the inspectors of the Bureau of Animal Industry, or any other officer or person upon whom like powers are in this act conferred, shall possess authority to test with tuberculin any bovine animal kept or herded within this state, subject to such rules and regu- lations as the Board may enact; and when such bovine animal is found by the officer making the test to give what the State Live Stock Sanitary Board shall have prescribed by its rules to be a clearly defined reaction to such test, the said animal shall be considered to be affected with bovine tuberculosis and shall be marked or branded in such manner as the Board shall designate. If the owner or owners of such reacting animal shall then desire to keep it, such option is allowed provided the animal does not, in the judgment of the officer making the examination and test, show evi- dence of physical breakdown, then or at any time thereafter, probably due to the disease, and it shall then be the duty of the State Veterinarian or his deputy to place such animal in quarantine, and the owner or owners thereof, their agents or employes shall maintain the said animal in quarantine as prescribed by the State Veterinarian or his deputy, and the product or products of such reacting animal shall only be disposed of under such restrictions as the State Live Stock Sanitary Board shall designate. If the owner of any such reacting bovine animal shall desire to slaughter it and to receive indemnity therefor as hereinafter provided he shall be required by the Board before such slaughter to execute an agreement with the Board that he will thoroughly clean and disinfect all premises that may have been infected by such reacting animal and make all reasonable needed sanitary improvements in such manner as the said Board shall prescribe; will have his entire herd of bovine aimals tested with tuberculin by the State Veterinarian or deputy at such time as the Board shall designate; will cause to be tested with tuberculin all bovine animals he shall purchase or obtain, before they shall be mixed with any other animals. Such agreement shall be in duplicate, one copy to be retained by the signer, and in such form as the Board shall designate, and shall be signed by the owner or owners or their agents, and shall be in effect for a period of two years from the date thereof. After such agreement has been executed it shall be the duty of the State Veterinarian or deputy to see that the animal is slaughtered and the carcass disposed of in accordance with the meat inspection regulations of the United States Department of Agriculture, or in such manner as the State Live Stock Sanitary Board shall prescribe. If upon examination the carcass: or parts thereof shall be found of value, the owner shall be entitled to receive such sum as may be obtained therefor less any expense of the handling and sale. When the animal is to be slaughtered, as herein pro- vided, the State Veterinarian or deputy, shall make and deliver to the owner a certificate which may cover any number of animals belonging to the said owner, showing the age and description of each animal tested and found to give clearly defined tuberculin reaction and which the owner has 16 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS elected to slaughter, the name and place of test, the mark or brand placed upon each of such animals evidencing their condition as tuberculose and any other mark or brand which the animal may bear, the date when and the place to which the animal was sent for slaughter, the designation of the officer who is to supervise the slaughter, the name and address of the owner of the animal and the fact that he has executed the agreement hereinbefore provided for. The consent of the owner to the slaughter shall be indorsed or written on said certificate. Prior to slaughter or at the time thereof, an appraisement shall be made of all animals elected to be slaughtered. Such appraisement shall be made jointly by repre- sentatives of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry; provided, such bureau has superintended the testing and inspection of such herd or animal, and a veterinarian of the state, county or municipality. If the representative of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry and the representative of the state, county or municipality shall disagree as to the amount of the appraisal, or if the owner refuses to accept the appraised value, the animal shall be appraised in the same manner as when tested by the state, county or municipality. In such instances the veterinarian making the test or supervising the slaughter and the owner or party in charge of the animal or animals shall make the appraisal. In the event of their failing to agree upon the value of the animal the county judge of the county in which the animal is located shall appoint a disinterested practical dairyman or livestock breeder who shall serve as a third arbitrator and the decision reached by any two of these three appraisers shall be final. The appraiser appointed by the county judge shall be paid a per diem of three dollars per day and mileage of 10 cents per mile one way by the owner of the cow or cattle. Such moneys shall be paid by the county court out of the indemnity moneys due the owner. The officer supervising the slaughter shall, immediately after the same, indorse upon or add to the foregoing certificate that he has witnessed the slaughter of each of said animals, the place and date thereof, that the number, age, description and brand correspond to those given in the cer- tificate of the officer who made the former certificate; and shall state the disposition made of the carcass. The slaughter may be supervised and certificate thereof may be made by the State Veterinarian or any of his deputies, or any person possessing the authority of a deputy, or by any officer of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry. The Board may require such other particulars to be added to either of said certificates or affidavit hereinafter required, and may make and enforce such rules and regulations governing the handling, shipping and slaughter of such ani- mals as may be deemed necessary. After such reacting animals shall have been slaughtered as herein provided for, the owner or owners thereof shall, within thirty days, file with the county court of the county in which said animal or animals were owned at the time they were tested, as herein pro- vided, the foregoing certificates, together with his claim for indemnity ver- ified as an affidavit, setting forth the number of animals slaughtered, the date and place of tuberculin test and of slaughter, the number over two years of age, the number over one year and under two years, that the animals are the same identical animals described in the accompaning certificates of the officers making the test and supervising the slaughter, the name of the person who supervised the slaughter, that all of the animals for which indemnity is claimed had been continously in this state RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 17 for one year next preceding the date on which they were tested with tuberculin, or that the certificate is produced hereinafter mentioned in subdivision 6, that they had been owned in said county for a period of thirty days next preceding the date on which they were tested with tuberculin, that each of said animals had reacted to said test, the name of the officer who made the test, that none of the animals were steers or castrated bulls, and that affiant has thoroughly cleaned and disin- fected his premises and made ordered sanitary improvements, and complied with all the regulations of the Board in respect thereto and in respect to the remainder of his herd; and if any of said slaughtered animals were registered in any registry of blooded stock recognized by the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, then the names and registry numbers, the ages and other particulars concerning said registration. Such affidavit shall also show that none of the exceptions hereinafter stated which would exclude the claim for indemnity apply as to any of the animals slaughtered. The court shall set down such claim for hearing and any person may appear and show cause against it. A notice of such hearing may be ordered by the county court posted by the claimant in three public places in the county for at least one week in advance thereof, and proof therof filed. If the said county court, upon examination of the certificates filed as aforesaid, and of the affi- davit of the claimant and any other evidence that may be presented, shall find that the claim is regular and the facts therein set up are true, and that the claimant is entitled to indemnity as herein provided, the county court shall make an order allowing to the claimant as indemnity money the deficit between the salvage money derived from the sale of the careass, if such there be, and the appraised value; provided, that in no case shall the county court be required to make an order and pay any deficiency that will make the total amount received by the owner from the state and county more that fifteen dollars ($15) for any grade heifer over one and under two years of age; or more than thirty-five dollars ($35) for any grade cow two years of age or over; or more than twenty-five dollars ($25) for any registered heifer or bull over one and under two years of age; or more than fifty dollars ($50) for any regis- tered cow or bull two years of age or over, in which lesions of tubercu- losis are demonstrated upon postmortem examination; and provided further, that in no case shall the county court be required to make an order and pay any deficiency between the salvage money derived from the sale of the carcass and the appraised value of the animal that will make the amount received by the owner from the state and county more than fifty per cent additional for each animal as herein described in which no lesions of tuberculosis are demonstrated upon postmortem examination. One half of said amount allowed as indemnity shall be paid upon order of the county court out of the general funds of the county. The county court shall transmit to the Secretary of State a certified copy of its findings as to the amount of indemnity payable to the claimant, and the Secretary of State shall then issue his warrant upon the State Treasurer, in favor of the claimant, for the remaining one-half of the indemnity allowed, which shall be paid out of the moneys appropriated under this act. The right to indemnity shall not exist nor shall payment be made in either of the following cases: 18 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS 1. For animals owned by the United States, this state or any county, city, town or village in this state. 2. For animals brought into this state contrary to the provisions of this act, or where the owner of the animal or the person claiming compensation has failed to comply with the provisions of the same. 3. When the owner or claimant at the time of coming into possesion of the animal knew or had good reason to believe it to be afflicted with a contagious or infectious disease. 4. When the animal slaughtered was diseased at the time of its arrival in this state. 5. When the owner shall have been guilty of negligence or had wilfully exposed such animals to the influence of a contagious or infec- tious disease. 6. When the animal slaughtered shall have been brought into this state within one year prior to such slaughter, unless the owner or the person in charge shall produce the certificate of the duly qualified veterinary surgeon who is a graduate of a reputable veterinary college, issued within ten days of the date of the importation, showing such animal to ne free from tuberculosis at the time of its arrival in the state. 7. When the animal was previously affected with any other disease which from its nature was incurable and necessarily fatal or which was in a dying condition when offered for slaughter.

RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 29 REGULATION No. 16. GOVERNING THE ADMISSION AND TUBERCULIN TESTING OF CATTLE 1. Dairy and breeding cattle, including all bulls imported for use on the open range over the age of six months may enter the state of Oregon only upon an official health certificate issued in accordance with the live stock sanitary laws, section 17, showing them to be free of any evidence of tuberculosis or other contagious, infectious, or communicable disease based upon an individual physical examination and a tuberculin test as follows: When the subcutaneous method of applying the tuberculin test is used, the chart shall show that at least three temperatures were taken two or three hours apart before injection of tuberculin; that at least seven temperatures were taken two hours apart after the injection, beginning not later than eight hours after the injection of the tuberculin, and that the test had run for a period of not less than twenty hours after the injection. When the intradermal test is used, the chart shall show that obser- vations at the forty-eighth, seventy-second and, if possible, ninety-sixth hour have failed to reveal any evidence of a reaction. Copy of health certificate to be mailed to the State Veterinarian in time to reach him before arrival of animals at destination. Cattle imported as above will be subject to a retest by the State Veterinarian at destination when deemed necessary by him, and any reactors found upon such retest disposed of as provided by law. 2. Cattle for feeding or grazing purposes only, originating at a ““nublic stock yards,” may enter the state of Oregon in accordance with section 3, regulation 7, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Depart- ment of Agriculture, upon affidavit of the owner or shipper upon the form provided by the Bureau of Animal Industry for that purpose, pro- vided a copy of such affidavit bearing the endorsement of the Bureau of Animal Industry representative in charge at a “public stock yards’ is forwarded to the State Veterinarian in time to reach him before the arrival of cattle at destination. Cattle for feeding or grazing purposes only, not originating at a “public stock yards,’ may enter the state of Oregon only upon a permit from the State Veterinarian under such conditions and restrictions as he may prescribe. 3. Cattle from a tuberculosis free accredited herd under the super- vision of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, and the state of origin may enter the state of Oregon upon an official certificate from an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry or the authorities of the state of origin, showing them to be from such a herd and that they have not been exposed to infection by tuberculosis. since leaving the herd of origin. Copy of such certificate to be mailed to the State Veterinarian in time to reach him before arrival of cattle at destination. 4. Cattle which have reacted to the tuberculin test may be brought into the state of Oregon for immediate slaughter only and must be consigned direct to a slaughtering establishment under the supervision of the Bureau of Animal Industry, United States: Department of Agricul- ture, and transported thereto strictly in accordance with section 4, regula- 30 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS tion 7, Bureau of Animal Industry, United States Department of Agriculture. 5. Cattle for immediate slaughter may enter the state of Oregon with- out inspection, provided they are consigned direct to a recognized slaughtering establishment, the way bills marked “for immediate slaughter”; no part of the shipment diverted en route within the state of Oregon; that they are slaughtered within a reasonable time, and no part of the consignment removed from the immediate premises of the slaughtering establishment previous to slaughter without written permis- sion from the State Veterinarian. 6. Castrated and strictly range cattle—namely, branded animals of the recognized beef type only, which have been born and reared under range conditions—may enter the state of Oregon without restrictions. AN ACCREDITED HERD OF CATTLE 1. An accredited tubereulin tested, pure bred herd is one which has been tuberculin tested by the subcutaneous method, or any other test approved by the Bureau of Animal Industry, under the supervision of the Bureau of Animal Industry, or a regularly employed veterinary inspec- tor of the state in which cooperative tuberculosis eradication work is being conducted jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture and the state. Further, it shall be a herd in which no animal affected ‘with tuberculosis has been found upon two annual or three semi annual tuberculin tests, as above described, and by physical examination. 2. The entire herd, or any cattle in the herd, shall be tuberculin tested or retested at such time as is considered necessary by the federal and state authorities. 3. No cattle shall be presented for the tuberculin test which have been injected with tuberculin within sixty days immediately preceding, or which have at any time reacted to a tuberculin test. 4. No herd shall be classed as an accredited herd in which tubercu- losis has been found by the application of the test as referred to in paragraph 1, until such herd has been successfully subjected to two consecutive tests with tuberculin, applied at intervals of not less than six months, the first interval dating from the time of removal of the tuberculous animal from the herd. 5. Prior to each tuberculin test satisfactory evidence of the identity of the registered animal shall be presented to the inspector. Any grade cattle maintained in the herd, or associated with animals of the herd, shall be identified by a tag, or other marking, satisfactory to the state and federal officials. AGREEMENT FOR THE TUBERCULIN TESTING OF HERDS OF PURE BRED CATTLE WHEREAS, the Bureau of Animal Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, for the purpose of improving the pure bred dairy and beef breeds of cattle in the United States, encouraging recogni- tion of the importance of maintaining herds of such cattle free from tuberculosis, and promoting the interchange of healthy pure bred cattle, RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 31 proposes so far as available funds permit, to cooperate with the breeders of pure bred cattle by assistaing them to eradicate tuberculosis from their herds and maintain them free from that disease.

I will not present any cattle for the tuberculin test which have been injected with tuberculin within two months immediately preceding, or which have at any time reacted to a tuberculin test. I will present, prior to each test, to the inspector of said bureau, certificates of registration for each pure bred and registered animal offered by me to the tuberculin tests, such certificates to be accepted as identification of the animal offered. Any grade females maintained in the herd, or associated with animals of the herd, must be identified by a tag or other marking satisfactory to the Bureau of Animal Industry. I wilt report: promptly to the said Bureau of Animal Industry every transfer of cattle from my herd, giving the identification of the animal and the name and address of the person to whom transferred. I will cause all animals which show evidence of tuberculosis of the upper or superficial glands, progressive loss of condition or emaciation, or other visible evidence of tuberculosis, to be promptly slaughtered under the United States meat inspection regulations, and I will cause the carcases of said animals to be disposed of according to the meat inspection regulations of the Bureau of Animal Industry, based upon the lesions found upon post mortem inspection. I will cause all animals which react to the tuberculin test, but which show no other evidence of tuberculosis, to be slaughtered and disposed of as herein provided for animals which show also other evidence of tuberculosis, or I will cause such animals to be removed from the herd and portion of the farm upon which the healthy animals of the herd are maintained to a location approved by the Bureau of Animal Industry, and I will cause such animals to be maintained in such form of quar- antine as may be directed by the Bureau of Animal Industry. It is agreed that quarantined reacting bulls may be used for breeding, provided they are held upon the staff, their sexual organs properly dis- infected, and the cow restrained by some suitable method so as not unnecessarily to be exposed to tuberculosis from the bull or infected premises. I will not permit the slaughter of any tuberculous animals as indicated by physical examination or tuberculin test, except at a time and place approved by the Bureau of Animal Industry. I will cause, in all cases where the milk or milk products from quarantined reacting cows are to be used for any food purposes what- ever, the said milk or milk products to be first submitted to pasteuriza- 32 ; OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS tion at not less than 140 degree Farenheit for not less than 30 minutes, or to the point of active boiling; but I will not sell such milk or products in violation of any state, city, or other legislation. I will cause the calves from quarantined reacting cows to be removed from their mothers at birth, to be maintained upon premises free from infection with tuberculosis, and to be fed upon the milk of cows which have passed a satisfactory tuberculin test or upon the pasteurized or boiled milk of tuberculin reactors. I will allow no cattle to be associated with my herd which have not passed a tuberculin test approved by the Bureau of Animal Industry. I will keep all new cattle separated from my herd pending the approval of the tuberculin test or the application of a tuberculin test by an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry. I will notify the Bureau of Animal Industry immediately, giving details of the identification characteristics and records of tuberculin tests of any cattle which may be added to my herd. I will surrender any premises contaminated by tuberculous animals, as indicated by a physical examination or a tuberculin test, to a thorough cleaning and disinfection, at my expense, under the direction or super- vision of the Bureau of Animal Industry. I will comply with all reason- able sanitary measures and other recommendations by the Bureau of Animal Industry for the control of tuberculosis. Violation of the letter or spirit of this agreement by me shall be considered sufficient cause for the immediate cancelation of this agree- ment and the withdrawal of cooperation by the Bureau of Animal Industry.

AC OT ESS i O20 eal aa SUN A IRA sae ANE eee Witness: ip RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING TUBERCULOSIS. Rule A. All cattle presenting a socalled positive reaction to the tuberculin test, excepting pure blooded animals, and others presenting unmistakable evidence of tuberculosis shall be fire branded on the right jaw with the letter “T,’ which shall be two and one-half inches (2% inches) in height by two inches (2 inches) in width. Such ani- mals as show no evidence of physical breakdown may be placed under quarantine and so kept until they show evidence of disease or are offered for indemnity by the owner. Rule B. Physical breakdown as used in section 4, of chapter 413, of the laws of 1919, shall be deemed to mean (in animals that have reacted to the tuberculin test and held under quarantine) : (a) Pronounced unthriftiness, such as loss of flesh, harsh, rough, thick skin with dead hair, when such animal is not aged and is well cared for and fed. RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 33 (b) Pronounced persistent cough, not loud but often when door is opened in the morning. (c) Enlarged glands in region of throat, especially when they cause difficulty in breathing. (d) Less of appetite, (seen in later stages of disease). (e) Persistent bloating, (sometimes enlarged glands of throat prevent passage of gas from rumen to mouth by pressure on gullet). (7) Persistent diarrhoea (is seen in cattle infected with bowel lesions) . (g) Hard lumps in udder, (at first tuberculosis shows no lesions in the udder but after a time should there be udder lesions, hard lumps will be found after the udder is milked out). Milk from such an udder should in no case be allowed use for any purpose. DIRECTIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE SUBCUTANEOUS TUBERCULIN TEST AND THE ISSUING OF INTERSTATE TUBERCULIN TEST CHART AND HEALTH CERTIFICATE 1. So far as practicable, the cattle should be stabled under usual conditions and with usual surroundings. 2. The cattle should be fed and watered in the customary manner, except that it should be done only immediately after the measuring of temperatures. Occasionally it is advisable to limit the quantity of con- centrated food given animals under test. This is especially true if large quantities of that kind of food are allowed. 3. A careful physical examination of each animal should be made before or during the application of the test. 4. During the period immediately before the injection of tuberculin each animal’s temperature should be taken at least three times at not less than two-hour intervals. Care should be taken to let the ther- mometers remain inserted for a sufficient length of time to insure correct reading. Animals showing evidence of any acute disease or condition or showing pus formations should not be injected with tuberculin. Any animal showing pronounced abnormal preliminary temperatures likewise should not receive tuberculin treatment. Inquiry concerning the history of the herd should be made then, and it should be ascertained, if possible, whether any animal in the herd has ever given a positive reaction to tuberculin, the number of tuberculin tests applied to the herd previously and, also, whether any cattle in the herd have been treated at any time in any other manner with tuberculin. The information thus obtained should be used in determining the method to be employed in the tuberculin testing of the herd. 5. The hypodermic syringes and needles should be disinfected before treating any herd with tuberculin. Before being used for the injection of each animal needles should be washed in a disinfectant solution. A 5 per cent solution of carbolic acid is suitable for sterilizing the instru- ments. Open bottles of tuberculin should be protected from contam- ination. Thermometers should be sterilized before the temperature is taken, and should be dipped in a disinfectant solution before and after each reading. 34 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS 6. For cattle which are apparently healthy and which have not been injected with tuberculin within a period of at least 60 days, the dose of tuberculin prepared by the Bureau of Animal Industry is as follows: 2 c.c. for calves ranging from six months to one year of age. 4 c.c. for cattle more than one year old and up to maturity. Older animals, repeatedly tested animals, or those clinically suspicious may receive a larger dose. The dosage administered should be deter- mined mainly on the age of the animals and their history rather than upon the weight. 7. The measurements of temperature following the injection of tuber- culin should commence at the eighth hour and be continued every two hours until the twentieth hour after injection when, if there is no tendency for the temperature to rise, the test may cease. Temperatures upon cattle which are showing a rising tendency following the injection of tuberculin should be measured more frequently. 8. Suspected cattle should be submitted to a retest after the expira- tion of not less than 60 days. This class of cattle and those which show possible physical evidences of tuberculosis, emaciation, old age, or which have been tested repeatedly should receive double the dose of tuberculin indicated above. 9. Experience has shown that animals, especially those of doubtful record, receiving large doses of tuberculin, may respond early to the test, and inspectors are advised, wherever practicable, to obtain tem- peratures at from the fourth to sixth hour following the use of large doses of tuberculin. 10. A rise of two degrees Fahrenheit, or more, above the maximum temperature observed prior to the injection of tuberculin, or a tempera- ture above 103.8 degrees Fahrenheit, should be regarded as an indication of tuberculosis, provided the temperature reaction shows the charcteristic rainbow curve. 11. Animals which after injection show a rise of temperature of two degrees Fahrenheit with a maximum of between 103 and 103.8 degrees Fahrenheit, as well as those which show a rise of less than two degrees Fahrenheit, with a maximum temperature of 103.8 degrees Fahrenheit, are regarded as suspicious. The presence of a general systemic reaction or a typical curve should be considered in determining the classification between suspects and reactors. The original and triplicate copies of the tuberculin-test chart and health certificate shall be sent to the live stock sanitary officer of the state from which the animals are to be shipped or moved and, upon approval by him, the original copy shall be forwarded to the bureau. The duplicate copy of the tuberculin-test chart and health certificate shall accompany the cattle to destination and the quadruplicate copy thereof shall be sent to the State Veterinarian or other proper official of the state of destination in ample time to reach him before the arrival of the cattle at destination. (Each state will be expected to provide the veterinarians with blank forms of tuberculin-test charts and health certificates other than those used by the bureau.) RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 35 DIRECTIONS FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE INTRADERMAL TEST 1. Various sites may be selected for the intradermal injections. The sites most used are the subcaudal region and the skin of the lower eye- lid. The injections should be made with a hypodermic syringe provided with a needle about one-fourth inch in length and of small caliber. The syringe and needles used generally by the dental profession are satis- factory, but many operators prefer a moderately large syringe with adapters for the use of the dental needle. 2. The injection should be made into the dermal tissue, care being taken to prevent the tuberculin from being discharged into the sub- cutaneous tissue, or superficially into the epidermis. An injection into a loose subecaudal fold is lable to result in the production of an infiltra- tion so slight as to prove of no diagnostic value; hence, a more preferable site is the undersurface of the tail, where the soft skin lies close to the bone. The swelling or edema here is more pronounced. In ease the eye is selected the injection is made in the lower lid one-fourth inch below the border and about one-half inch from the corner of the eye. 3. Swellings that appear within the first hour and disappear early are not diagnostic. Swellings present at the forty-eighth hour are gen- erally diagnostic; hence, observations should be made at the forty-eighth and seventy-second hours and, if possible, at a period between the nine- tieth and ninety-sixth hours, or longer. The later the appearance of the local reaction, the more positive the diagnosis. The local reaction is often confirmed by a thermal reaction, this being especially true in those eases in which tuberculin has not been administered recently by the subcutaneous method. These two..methods may be employed simultaneously. DISINFECTION OF PREMISES In the eradication of tuberculosis or other communicable disease the thorough disinfection of premises is essential. This may be satisfactorily accomplished by carrying out the following directions: 1. Sweep ceiling, sidewalls, stall partitions, floors, and other surfaces until free from cobwebs and dust. 2. Remove 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. 3. 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 replaced 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 be re- moved to a place not accessible to cattle or hogs. The manure should be spread on fields and turned under, while the wood should be burned. 36 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS 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, six ounces to every gallon of water in each case. After this has dried, the stalls, walls, and ceilings may be covered with whitewash (lime wash), to each gallon of which should be added four ounces of chloride of lime. 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 infectious diseases of animals, and should be applied immediately fol- lowing 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 win- dows, thereby eliminating dampness, stiffness, bad odors, and other insanitary conditions. Good drainage is also very necessary. If the use of liquor cresolis compositus, carbolic acid, or other coal-tar products is inadmissible because of the readiness with which their odor is imparted to milk and other dairy products, bichloride of mercury may be used in the proportion of 1 to 800, or one 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 albumin contained in manure would otherwise greatly diminish the disinfecting power of the bichloride. Disinfection with this material should be supervised by a vet- er¥inarian or other person trained in the handling of poisonous drugs and chemicals, 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 bichloride solution should be applied by means of a spray pump, as recommended for the liquor cresolis compositus. REGULATION No. 17. Rule B. Milk secreted from known tuberculous animals shall, in no case, be allowed to be used as whole milk, skim milk, butter milk, cream or whey unless the same has been thoroughly pasteurized or sterilized and then ean not be sold or used unless labeled as sterilized or pasteurized milk from cows reacting to the tuberculin test. REGULATION No. 18. REGULATIONS GOVERNING RABIES Rule A. Animals suspected of being infected with rabies should be reported to the State, Assistant State, County Veterinarian or Secretary of the State Board of Health. Rule B. When rabies is positively diagnosed the following rules shall be carried out. Rule 1. Licensing Dogs—Every person owning a-dog in a city or incorporated town must apply to the clerk of said city or town for a RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 37 license tag which will be issued upon payment of $.......... This tag must be attached to the dog’s collar. Any dog running at large without a license tag attached to its collar will be immediately impounded in the public pound by any peace officer or pound master. Rule 2. Muzzling—When an outbreak of rabies occurs or is imminent, no person shall cause or permit any dog owned or kept by him to run at large on any highway or road, or on any premises not inclosed by a dog-tight fence, or on the public domain, unless such dog be securely muzzled so as to effectually prevent its biting any person or animal. Nothing herein contained shall be held to require the muzzling of any dog if properly confined on private premises, or while on any highway or road, or any premises not his own or under his supervision, or on the public domain, if such dog be led by chain or leash in such manner as shall prevent such dog from biting any person or animal. But nothing herein shall be construed to permit any bitch, when in heat, whether muzzled or otherwise, to run at large, or prevent an unmuzzled dog from actually being used in the range herding or handling of live stock. It shall be the duty of every officer to report to the sheriff or peace officer any dog which is found in his district contrary to the provision of this section. Rule 3. Killing of Rabid Dogs or Any Dogs Having Been Bitten by Them—Any dog afflicted with rabies, or any dog bitten by a dog, or rabid animal suffering from rabies, is hereby declared to be a nuisance and such dog must be slain by the owner, or any officer, or his deputy. Excepting that a permit may be issued to an owner exempting from slaughter any dog of great value that has been bitten by a supposedly rabid animal, provided owner will agree to securely restrain or muzzle said dog for a period of three months, or will submit said animal to the Pasteur treatment. It shall be the duty of any person owning or exercising ownership or agency over any dog that has been bitten by a rabid dog or animal to surrender such dog to the sheriff, or his deputy, or any peace officer, unless above exceptions have been complied with. Rule 4. Dogs Under Suspicion of Being Afflicted With Rabies— Whenever any dog shall have bitten any person and is under suspicion of being rabid, it shall be the duty of the owner, or any officer, to take into his custody and keep such dog under restraint for a period not less than ten days, during which period a veterinarian, or any other person competent to decide, shall determine whether such dog is diseased, and, if so, whether in his judgment it should be killed. It shall be the duty of the peace officer, or any other qualified officer, to kill the diseased dog, so condemned, by shooting the same through the heart. Rule 5. The Shipping of Dog’s Head—The head of a dog which has been killed under the provisions of section 4 should be severed from the body, packed in sawdust and ice and sent prepaid to the State Board of Health, Selling Building, Portland, to have the brain examined for the presence of Negri bodies, the finding of which denotes that the animal was rabid. Rule 6. Release of Dog Impounded for Observation—Any dog kept under observation as provided for in section 4, if declared free from 38 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS rabic symptoms after two weeks, should not be allowed to run at large for a period of not less than three months unless muzzled, or led by a chain or leash, as provided for in section 2. Rule 7. Persons Taking Anti-Rabic Treatment—If the dog’s head received by the Board of Health gives evidence that the dog was affected by rabies, the persons bitten by such animal should immediately undergo anti-rabic treatment. “Caution should be exercised not to kill a dog too soon before the symptoms of rabies appear because it will then be impossible to ascer- tain by examination of the dog’s brain whether rabies be present or not and an uncertainty will exist as to whether the person bitten should undergo anti-rabic treatment. If the dog is unquestionably rabid it should immediately be shot and the head sent to the Board of Health for examination. In shooting the dog care should be taken to aim the bullet directly through the heart so as not to destroy the brain which is to be examined.” Section 8. County-Wide Epidemics.——If in the judgement of the State Veterinarian and State Health Officer an epidemic exists or threatens an entire county, the said State Veterinarian and State Health Officer should instruct the judge of said county to enforce these orders through- out the entire county. Section 9. All dogs owned or held within any county, in all zones or districts within fifteen miles of where rabies has been diagnosed or a rabid dog or animal has been present, shall be restrained, from running at large for a period of ninety days after the last reported outbreak of rabies or unless otherwise ordered, and shall be either held by a chain or muzzled or restrained in such manner as to prevent such dog or dogs from biting anyone, or further conveying the infection. This order is not to apply to dogs that are being actually used in the range, handling and herding of livestock, but owners making such use of dogs are hereby ordered to muzzle and restrain all such dogs during their non-use during the day and at all times during the night. REGULATION No. 19 RULES AND REGULATIONS GOVERNING HOG CHOLERA AND SWINE PLAGUE Rule A. When an outbreak of hog cholera or swine plague appears, the owner must notify the State, Assistant State or County Veterinarian. The said officer shall quarantine all portions of his premises upon which hog cholera exists. Rule B. All persons, excepting owner, duly authorized attendants, medical advisors or others are forbidden to any enclosures where dis- eased hogs are kept. Rule C. Hogs must not be moved from any quarantined premises except by permission’ of State, Assistant State or County Veterinarians. Rule D. Hogs shipped from one section of the state of Oregon where hog cholera is known to exist unless intended for immediate slaughter shall be treated the same as hogs imported into the state. RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 39 Rule E. It shall be the duty of the owner, or any other person hav- ing in charge any swine that have died of any disease, immediately upon the fact of such death coming to his knowledge to burn the same to ashes and clean and thoroughly disinfect his pens, yards and houses. Rule F. No person shall feed any hotel, restaurant or eating house swill or refuse or packing house offal to swine unless and until the same has been thoroughly cooked and rendered free from the possibility of car- rying hog cholera or other infection that might be transmitted through a cholera infected ham bone or bacon rine. Rule G. All dogs in a district where hog cholera is known to exist must be restrained from running at large and must be confined to own- ers’ premises. Rule H. All railroad cars, steamboats, and other means of trans- porting hogs must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before hogs shall be allowed shipment if for purposes other than immediate slaughter. Rule I. All hogs allowed to come in contact with any public corral, yard, chute or undisinfected railroad car shall be considered as exposed to hog cholera and shall not be sold for feeding or breeding purposes, unless immunized. Rule J. All hogs immunized with the so-called serum-simultaneous or double vaccination shall be held under a modified quarantine for a period of one month after vaccination. Veterinarians must have specific authorization from the Board to be eligible to give the double vaccination or in any way handle the virus of hog cholera. Note.—The Live Stock Sanitary Board will supply hog cholera serum to official veterinarians for official use within the State of Oregon at a cost of 1 cent per Cec. to the owner of exposed and infected hogs. The serum will be administered free by the official veterinarians. CLEANING AND DISINFECTION It is a recognized fact that the average stockman and farmer does not realize the importance of thoroughly disinfecting his premises following an outbreak of contagious disease. There is a lack of knowledge on his part concerning practical and economical methods of proceeding with the work of disinfection. Moreover the reappearance of a contagious disease on premises from which it was believed to have been eradicated, may fre- quently be traced to careless or imperfect work in connection with the cleaning and disinfection of the place. The work of disinfection is based upon recognition of the presence of disease germs, and disinfection means the act of destroying the cause of infection. In other words, disin- fection is the removal of the cause and it wil] be clear to any practical man that in dealin with disease, any effort which stops short of a complete removal of the cause is most unwise and unprofitable. To those not accustomed to the work, disinfection may seem a most complicated process. Any approved method, however, is comparatively simple when carried out carefully. Although like many other procedures, it is one in which attention to details accounts for much. It is important to bear in mind that the causative factors of the dis- ease are extremely small and may remain for an indefinite time in dust, 40 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS cracks or crevices of buildings, so that efforts aiming to the eradication of disease from contaminated premises must be thorough in order to be effective. Sunlight is Nature’s great disinfectant. Hence the importance of well- lighted stables; but for practical purposes we are depending upon certain “drugs” which have power to destroy the organisms of disease. It is not necessary to discuss the exact manner in which these drugs act upon the bacteria. It is sufficient to know that they possess the power of destroy- ing bacterial life with the same certainty that poisonous drugs destroy animal life. They have only to be brought into contact with the bacteria in order to destroy them. In practical work of disinfection, there are three essentials: 1. A preparation of the building and premises that will facilitate the most through contact with bacteria. 2. A disinfectant which upon contact can be depended upon to dee tney such organisms. 3. A method of applying the disinfectants that will assure the most thorough contact with the bacteria or virus. After the hog cholera has abated on your farm, the entire premises should be disinfected. The tendency of farmers is to disinfect premises in “piecemeal.” This is a mistake, for all work should be done at one time, the entire job finished as soon as possible to prevent reinfecting the areas you have already disinfected. It is advisable to begin in the outlying pasture lots and gradually work toward the house and barn lots. Begin- ning with the pasture lots to which the sick hogs have had access, clean all accumulation of leaves along the fences, where hogs have used such as beds. Loose fence boards and rails are best gathered and burned. Fences should be disinfected and whitewashed. Anything under which the infec- tion could harbor should be removed. All shades and sheds in these pas- ture lots should receive the same thorough cleaning and disinfection. All feed and water troughs, if old, should be burned; if new material, they should be thoroughly scrubbed with lye and hot water and then disinfected. All cobs and litter should be removed and taken to a field not accessible to livestock and plowed under. Before removing hogs to new feed lots, dip them in disinfectant solution, two per cent liquor cresolis compositus. It is best to change feed lots and plow the old one under; best to use water fountain in supplying drinking water for your hogs. Frill all wallow holes, or fence them off. Hogs should never be allowed access to straw stacks. Wagons, manure spreaders, etc., should be cleaned and disinfected; some places may require scraping; haul all manure and litter to field and plow under. Where wood has become old and porous, best to remove same and replace with new. Spaces under buildings where hogs have had aecess should be cleaned and disinfected and shut off. Walks leading to house should be disinfected; lime scattered in yards. The best way to apply the disinfectant is with a strong spray pump equipped with about fifteen feet of hose to which may be attached a pipe five feet long of the same caliber. This will insure entire satisfaction. With a spray nozzle at the end of the pipe it will be possible to cover con- siderable area; also have sufficient force to drive the solution into cracks and crevices. When the job is completed the clothes worn by the men doing the work should be boiled; shoes washed and disinfected. RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 41 DISPOSAL OF CARCASSES Careasses of all animals, regardless of their class, should be disposed of by burning. Particularly is this true of hogs dead of cholera for even though deeply buried, at times of long continued rains water rising to the surface may carry the virus with it and thus expose other animals. But the tendency is to bury in shallow holes the carcasses of hogs or other animals and very frequently they are later dug up by dogs, coyotes, or wolves and the bones or parts carried to the hog pens on the farm or even to other farms. Again when the carcass is exposed it attracts buzzards, crows and vultures to the farm and they may come from some infected carcass, bringing the virus in their crops, and there, perhaps perched ina tree in the hogpens, disgorge, and thus convey the virus to the hogs therein. Too little importance is placed upon the necessity of dispos- ing once and for all of carcasses. The most economical way in the long run is to burn all carcasses. Particularly with hogs this can be done easily. When the sides of the hog have been slashed freely so that fire ean get at the accumulated fats, they catch fire and supply practically all the fuel needed to burn the carcass, once a good fire has been started. A convenient method of burning the carcass is to dig a trench or prefer- ably two trenches across each other at right angles, placing over these trenches steel bars, or oftentimes an iron wheel may be used, placing the carcass across these bars or wheel and building a fire underneath. DISINFECTANTS The following agents are recommended for use as disinfectants, the United States Department of Agriculture Suerey the cresylic acid com- pound to those following: Cresylic acid compound; five pounds laundry soap in water (warm) to dissolve; one gallon cresylic acid water Q. S. fifty gallons. Can be bought from Pittman-Moore Co. Use carbolic acid and other coal tars, one pint in two gallons water, Use chloride lime one pound in two gallons water. One quart freshly slacked lime in nineteen quarts water. Slaked or chloride lime spread on floor. There are here enumerated three pumps which have proven very sat- isfactory in’ disinfecting premises. There may be others quite as good. Binks Pump—Star Bros. Co., Chicago. Biggs Pump—Humphrey Mfg. Co., Mansfield, Ohio. F. E. Meyers & Co., Ashland, Ohio. REGULATION No. 20. RULES AND REGULATIONS CONCERNING GLANDERS AND FARCY Rule A. Im all cases of suspected glanders or farcy, the owner or party in charge shall immediately isolate the suspected animals, then notify the State, Assistant State or County Veterinarian, describing symptoms exhibited by suspected animals and advising of the present location of the isolated animals. 42 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS Rule B. When the State Veterinarian or regularly appointed Assistant or County Veterinarian determines by an unmistakable examination that an animal is affected with the dangerous communicable disease known as glanders, or farcy, such animal shall be destroyed and the carcass shall be immediately destroyed by burning or burying and the following notice shall be served on the owner or agent in charge of the animals. NOTICE OF QUARANTINE AND oO DESTROY DISEASED ANIMALS Rule C. When animals give a suspicious reaction to the several tests to determine the presence of occult glanders and present no clinical evi- dence of the disease, the same may be marked or branded and placed under a quarantine awaiting a further test or release. Rule D. All animals reacting to the mallein, complement fixation or other officially approved test for glanders when accompanied by any unmistakable clinical symptoms of glanders or farcy shall be destroyed. 1. Animals giving an atypical. reaction, and those recording a maxi- mum temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit, should be retested after the expiration of not less than 15 days. 2. In case of controversy, or where atypical reactions are obtained, ‘blood may be drawn from the animals in question and shipped to the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry, Washington, D. C., care of the Pathological Division, for the serum diagnosis of glanders. 3. The blood is taken from the jugular vein after a small area over the jugular has been clipped and disinfected. The vein is dilated by pressure on the lower part of the neck and the blood drawn from the ani- mal into a sterile tube or bottle by the insertion of a proper-sized trocar. One or two ounces of blood is a sufficient quantity for testing purposes. 4. Every bottle should be labeled and the number of the horse cor- responding with the record number should be designated on the label. The vials may then be packed very carefully into separate containers or collectively in a box for shipment. 5. It is not absolutely essential to have clear serum, as in repeated tests it was found that blood gave satisfactory reactions although the serum was badly discolored as a result of disintegration of the blood corpuscles. 6. In eases where the mallein test has been used, the blood of sus- pected horses to be examined for glanders should not be taken until from seven to ten days have elapsed after the last mallein test. DISINFECTION OF PREMISES See Regulation No. 16, disinfection of tuberculosis infected premises. RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 43 REGULATION No. 21. CONTAGIOUS OR INFECTIOUS ABORTION OF CATTLE Rule A. Animals infected with infectious abortion shall not be sold for purposes other than slaughter until they have been proven free from active infection. TREATMENT OF ANIMALS The following is an outline of a method of treating the animals in an infected herd: Disinfecting the Bull—To prevent the bull from carrying the infection from a diseased cow to a healthy one, first clip the tuft of long hair from the opening of the sheath, then disinfect the penis and sheath with a solution of one-half per cent of cresol compound, lysol, or one per cent carbolic acid, or one to one thousand potassium permanganate in warm water. Two tablespoonfuls of fluid equal one ounce, therefore, this amount of antiseptic added to six pints of boiled water will make approximately a one per cent solution. The only apparatus necessary is a soft rubber tube five-eighths inch in diameter and five feet long, with a large funnel attached to one end; or an ordinary fountain syringe and tube would serve the purpose. The tube should be inserted into the sheath and the foreskin held with the hand to prevent the immediate escape of the fluid. Elevate the funnel as high as possible and pour in the fluid until the preputial sac is filled. In addition to this, the hair of the belly and inner sides of the thigh should be sponged with an antiseptic of twice the strength of the irrigating solution. This disinfection should invariably precede and follow every service. Treatment of the Cow. Isolate the Aborting Cow. The germs of the disease are contained in the discharge, and in the dead fetus and its mem- branes. Gather these up and bury or burn them and disinfect the stall thoroughly. Don’t neglect this cow. By thorough treatment you can restore her to usefulness and prevent sterility. More than half the cows abort but once, so don’t sell your cow because she aborts. The uterus should be irrigated daily with one of the antiseptics men- tioned for the bull, using the same apparatus, and irrigation should be continued until discharge ceases. If large numbers of animals are to be treated, a bucket can be fitted with a small faucet to which the tube is attached. This can be suspended from the ceiling or from the rail of the litter carrier. After treating the animal, disinfect hand and apparatus thoroughly with the solution before treating another animal. Complete cleanliness is important. Lugol’s solution, in a strength of two per cent, has been found to be desirable as a uterine dousche. This solution is not allowed to remain in the uterus, but is flushed out with salt solution. Lugol’s solution of iodin is compounded as follows: JIodin five parts, potassium iodid ten parts, and boiled water to make 100 parts. Two parts of this compound in 100 parts of boiled water make a two per cent solu- tion suitable for uterine irrigation. Lugol’s solution can be purchased from your druggist. 44 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS A one per cent solution of common salt in boiled water at body tem- perature makes a suitable irrigating fluid. A heaping tablespoonful of dry salt weighs approximately one ounce, and this amount in one gallon of boiled water gives the proper strength. The action of the antiseptic should be noted, and if it causes straining or irritates the tender membranes of the genital organs, a weaker and less irritating solution should be used. In addition, the external genitals, root of tail, escutcheon, etc., should be sponged daily with a solution twice as strong as that used for irrigation, and this latter treatment should be given the nonaborters as well. Should the preliminary symp- toms of abortion be detected, the animal should be removed from the herd and treated as above. After treating an affected animal, be careful to disinfect the hands before going near apparently healthy animals. Retention of Afterbirth. The retention of the afterbirth is a serious matter. It should not be forcibly removed, as the lining membranes of the uterus would be torn and a point of entry thus provided for the germs which cause blood poisoning. The uterus is very susceptible to this form of infection at such times, and injury should be carefully avoided. Clumsy and forceful manipulation of the parts may cause infection and death of the animal. The best practice is to flush the uterus twice daily with a mild antiseptic to prevent the accumulation and absorption of poisonous products and allow the membranes to come away of. themselves. In all these manipulations, hands and utensils should first be thoroughly dis- infected. In fact, so much special knowledge and operative skill is required that a competent veterinarian should be employed to instruct the owner before these operations are undertaken. BREEDING AFTER ABORTION After abortion, breeding should not again be attempted within two months, or until the discharge shall have ceased, as the uterus would not be normal and the animal either would not conceive or would abort again in a short time. Sterility, weakling calves, retained afterbirth, white scours, and calf pneumonia frequently accompany abortion. The measures recommended will also assist in overcoming these complications. Do not rely on drugs or proprietary medicines administered by the mouth. No effective remedies of this kind have yet been found. Serums and vaccines are still in the experimental stage. Their effec- tiveness, however, has not yet been conclusively demonstrated. . The department therefore advises farmers to rely for the present on the pro- tective measures and sanitary treatment outlined above. Let us repeat. Give this matter your earnest attention. Join your neighbors, your state and the country in fighting this plague, and we will soon have it under control. RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 45 REGULATION No. 22. CONCERNING ANTHRAX Regulation 1. Anthrax carcasses shall not be skinned, but shall be burned to ashes, or buried at least four feet deep, covered with quick lime, and if possible, without moving or handling. The place or stall where a dead anthrax carcass is found or where an anthrax patient has been kept shall be cleaned and disinfected. The litter and manure from such a place shall be burned and the place shall be disinfected as directed for disinfecting hog cholera infection in regulation No. 19. Regulation 2. Anthrax carcasses shall not be dragged over public roads, commons or open places. The carcasses may be disinfected by thorough sprinkling with a five per cent carbolic acid solution, or a solution of chloride of lime, or solution of coal tar creosote; then rolled on to skids or a sled or other vehicle and taken to a suitable place for burning. ‘Regulation 3. In no case shall anthrax vaccine be used where anthrax does not exist. Anthrax vaccine shall not be used until positive micro- scopic, cultural, and inocluation tests have been made by a federal, state or an officially recognized expert or authority. LIFTING THE QUARANTINE Anthrax can be considered eradicated and enforced precaution dis- pensed with when: (a) All anthrax sick and suspected animals are removed or killed, or (b) If within two weeks after the outbreak of anthrax no suspected or new cases of anthrax have occurred in the herd, and (c) When the disinfection has been carried out as directed by the official veterinarian. REGULATION No. 23. CONCERNING PUBLIC STOCK YARDS AND STABLES 1. All public stock yards and stables operated for the sale, assem- bling, feeding and distributing of horses and mules in Oregon shall be maintained under sanitary conditions at the expense of the owner, as provided in the following: 2. All portions of public stock yards and stables used for the handling of horses and mules, as set forth in section 1, shall be subjected to thorough cleaning and disinfection at least once every week, or oftener if considered necessary by the federal or authorized state inspectors. The cleaning and disinfection to be conducted as follows: (a) The original cleaning shall consist in the removal of all manure and litter. (b) All mangers, watering troughs, racks, etc., shall be propery cleaned before each disinfection. (c) After the original cleaning and disinfection, the manure in horse and mule pens need not be removed more often than once a month, pro- vided there is applied once a day a new or fresh layer of straw, idee sawdust or other acceptable fresh bedding. 46 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS (d) The disinfection shall include watering troughs, mangers, buckets, halters, floors, partitions, walls, ete. (e) The disinfection shall consist in the application of three per cent solution liquor cresolis compound or any other recognized standard disinfectant. 3. All horses and mules showing symptoms of infectious pneumonia, influenza, strangles, or any other infectious or contagious disease shall immediately be isolated in places or in quarters net occupied by healthy horses and mules. REGULATION No. 24 The charges made by veterinarians appointed under section 3, of chapter 413, of the laws of the legislative assembly of 1919, to examine animals enumerated in the law, shall be and are hereby fixed at the following: The maximum amounts of $5 for the subcutaneous tuberculin testing of one animal, $6 for two animals, $8 for three animals, and $10 for four to seven animals, $15 for from eight to ten animals, $1 additional for all animals over ten, and fifty cents per head for all animals over twenty. Regular mileage may be charged for distances after and exceed- ing three miles. Where travel is made by train or the veterinarian so far removed from his office as to prevent covering office work, the option of charging per day to be allowed, the rate to be charged amounting to $5 for one to three animals and a maximum of $10 per day, together with actual expenses. Fees for administering the ophthalmic mallein test or the intradermal mallein or tuberculin test to be a maximum fee of $3 for one animal, $4 for two, $5 for from three to four animals, $1 additional for all animals exceeding four to carload lots which shall not be charged for to exceed $20 per carload. Same conditions as to inspections administered at a distance to obtain as in the administration of the tuberculin test.

The Governor is hereby authorized and directed to appoint, with the advice and consent of the senate, a Board of Sheep Commissioners, to consist of three members, each of whom shall be a sheep owner within the state and familiar with the sheep business, and who shall be a resident during his term of office of the district from which he is appointed. One member thereof shall be appointed from each of the three districts hereinafter designated, and the members of said Board shall, before entering upon their duties, take the oath of office prescribed for state officials under the constitution, and shall file the same with the Secretary of State. One member of said Board shall be appointed for a term of three years, one for a term of two years, and one for a term of one year, and thereafter any appointment made to said Board shall be for the term of three years, and each member shall hold office until his successor has been appointed and qualified. The Board shall elect their president and a secretary from their number, and fix his compensation, which shall not exceed $600 per annum. The duties of the secretary shall be such, and he shall maintain his office at such convenient place, as the Board may prescribe. In the case of vacancy occuring in said Board, from death or otherwise, the Governor shall immediately fill such vacancy by an appointment of some person resident within the district where such vacancy exists. Section 2. The Board shall have power to make rules and regulations for its own government and shall convene in regular session at least once a year at the office of the secretary, and as much oftener as their duties may require. Its members shall receive no compensation for their services, but shall be allowed their actual hotel and traveling expenses incurred while engaged in the actual performance of their duties, the aggregate amount thereof to exceed in no event the sum of $1,500 per annum. It shall be the duty of said Board to exercise general supervision over, and, so far as may be, to protect the sheep interests of the state from losses from theft and disease, and to devise and recom- mend from time to time such legislation as in their judgment will foster and promote the sheep industry, and they shall also formulate and issue regulations governing the control and eradication of disease among sheep within the state not in conflict with the provisions of this act. Whenever it shall be necessary to examine witnesses in the performance of their duties, the Board shall have authority to subpoena witnesses, swear and examine them, and to enforce their attendance at the time and place designated in such subpoena, and any witness who testifies falsely before such Board upon any material matter shall be deemed guilty of perjury and punished accordingly. Section 8. For the purposes of this act, and to create districts from which the members of said Board shall be appointed, the state is hereby divided into three districts, as follows: District No. 1 shall include the counties of Clatsop, Columbia, Tillamook, Washington, Multnomah, Clack- amas, Yamhill, Polk, Marion, Linn, Benton, Lincoln, Lane, Coos, Douglas, Curry, Josephine and Jackson. District No. 2 shall include the counties of Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake and Klamath. Dis- trict No. 38 shall include the counties of Morrow, Umatilla, Union, RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 49 Wallowa, Grant, Baker, Harney and Malheur; and from each of these districts one of said commissioners shall be appointed. Section 4. The Board is authorized to appoint a State Sheep Inspec- tor, who shall hold his office for a term of two years, unless sooner removed .for incompetency or neglect of duty. Such appointee shall be graduate of some recognized college of veterinary surgery of good standing and repute, and he shall receive as full compensaion for his services an annual salary of $2,000, to be paid in the same manner and at the same times as the salaries of other state officers are paid. He shall be under the control and direction of said Board and may be removed by them for cause. He must, before entering upon the duties of his office, take the usual official oath and execute a bond to the state in the sum of $5,000, conditioned for the faithful performance of the duties of his office, to be approved by the Governor and filed by the Secretary of State. In addition to said salary he shall be allowed his actual and necessary hotel and traveling expenses when absent from home, the same to be audited by said Board and paid upon their certificate in the same manner and at the same time as his salary is paid; such expenses, however, shall not exceed the sum of $1,500 per annum. The State Sheep Inspector shall devote his entire time to the duties of his office, to the exclusion of private business. His official headquarters shall be at the office of the secretary of the said commission. Section 5. The Board of Sheep Commissioners shall have general control of the State Sheep Inspector in this act provided for, and shall make regulations governing his procedure and that of his deputies, and all bills for expenses incurred under the provisions of this act, except as to deputy inspectors, shall be audited and certified by said Board to the Secretary of State, and when allowed by them shall be paid by warrants drawn on the general fund in the state treasury, and it shall be the duty of the Board to make an annual report in writing to the Governor on or before the first day of December in each year, which report shall set forth the transactions of the Board and the oper- tions of the inspector and his deputies for the year then ending, the condition of the sheep industry in the state, and such other matters as may be in the judgment of the board valuable to the public. Section 6. Such State Sheep Inspector shall have the power and it shall be his duty to appoint in each county of the state where the sheep industry obtains one or more deputy inspectors, one of whom shall be a resident of the county from which he is appointed. Such deputies shall be subject to removal at any time by the State Sheep Inspector. They shall be practical sheep men, who, before entering upon the per- formance of their duties, shall take the oath of office required of county officials, and shall give bond to the state of Oregon in the penal sum of $1,000, conditioned for the faithful performance of the duties of such deputy, such bond to be approved by the State Sheep Inspector and placed on file in his office, and it shall be the duty of the official to have general supervision over all his deputies, and to counsel and advise with them and to assist in adjusting any differences which may arise in the enforcement of the provisions of this act between such deputies and the owners of sheep. 50 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS Section 7. It shall be the duty of the State Sheep Inspector, and of his deputies under his direction, to investigate all cases of contagious and infectious disease among sheep within the state which may come to his or their knowledge, and to make official visits of inspection to any locality where such disease exists, or where they have information or reason to believe such disease exists, and to inspect or cause to be inspected any sheep within the state, and all sheep brought into this state in any manner from any other state, territory or foreign country, and particularly from any other locality included or defined in any proclamation issued by the Governor establishing a quarantine as in this act provided, and he or they shall have authority to order a quarantine of any infected premises, and in case such disease shall become prevalent in any locality within the state, the Board of Sheep Commissioners may issue, upon the recommendation of the State Sheep Inspector, a procla- mation forbidding any sheep being transferred from said locality without a certificate from said inspector or one of his deputies showing such animal to be in good health, and the expenses of herding, feeding and caring for all sheep quarantined under these provisions shall be paid by the owner thereof. The State Sheep Inspector and his deputies, shall have the power to administer oaths and to examine witnesses so far as the same may be necessary in the proper performance of their duties, and any person who shall, contrary to said oath, state as true any material thing which he knows to be false, shall be deemed guilty of perjury and shall be punished accordingly. Section 8. It shall be the duty of the State Sheep Inspector upon the request of any recognized woolgrowers’ association within the state, or upon the request of any five sheep owners in any county thereof, or upon the recommendation of the Board of Sheep Commissioners, to appoint a deputy inspector for any county or any locality therein, and any deputy so appointed need not be a resident of the county or locality for which he is appointed. The Board of Sheep Commissioners when in session or the State Sheep Inspector at any time, may direct a deputy inspector of one county to go to another county and there perform the duties of deputy sheep inspector or to assist the deputy inspector of such county, and he shall perform such duties there and during such period as may be designated in the order received. The authority of any deputies under this act shall extend to all parts of the state alike. Section 9. Whenever the Governor of the state has reason to believe that scab or other contagious or infectious disease of sheep has become prevalent in any locality or localities of any other state or territory, or that conditions exist that render sheep from such localities likely to convey disease, or whenever the State Sheep Inspector shall certify in writing to the Governor that conditions exist in certain localities in any other state or territory, which may render any of the sheep coming therefrom likely to convey disease, the Governor shall forthwith by proclamation designate and declare such locality or localities as presum- ably infected, and prohibit importation therefrom of any sheep into this state, except under such restrictions as the Board of Sheep Com- missioners shall deem proper. Any person, persons, firm or corporation who, after publication of such proclamation, has or receives in charge any sheep from any of the prohibited districts, and transports, conveys RELATING TO LIVE STOCK SANITATION 51 or drives the same to and within the limits of this state, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall be punished by a fine not exceeding $1,000 and not less than $250, and such offending person or persons, firm or corporation shall likewise be liable for all damages that may be sus- tained by any person, persons, firm or corporation by reason of the importation or transportation into the state of such sheep from prohibited districts; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall prohibit the transportation of animals from such prohibited district through the state by railroad trains or steamboat lines under such restrictions and regulations as may be prescribed by law of this state or by the government of the United States. Section 10.

Agents of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board are authorized by law to make examina- tions of slaughtering, packing, meat canning, rendering, or similar establishments, and of places where meats or meat food products are man- ufactured, prepared, stored or sold, for the purpose of ascertaining whether the said establishments or places are constructed, arranged, equipped, managed or cared for in such a way as injuriously to affect the sound- ness, healthfulness or wholesomeness, or otherwise to render unfit for human food, the meat or meat food products therein prepared, stored, or sold. Defects in Establishments.—15. Whenever an establishment, or the manner in which it is arranged, equipped, or cared for, shall be found to be defective in such particulars as to make it probable that, by virtue of such defect or defects, the meats or meat food products may be rendered unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome or otherwise unfit for human food, it shall be the duty of the agent of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board to notify the owner, occupier or manager thereof as to the nature of the par- ticular defects found, and report the same to the State Live Stock Sanitary Board. Penalty for Failure to Remedy Defects.—i6. In case such defects are not removed or abolished within the time designated by the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, after notice in writing from the Board, the said establishment or place may be closed; and the owner, occupier, or manager thereof, and all other persons, forbidden to use the said establishment or place for the preparation, storage, or sale of meats or meat food products until the said defect is remedied, removed, or abolished in a way that is approved by an authorized agent of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board. Disposal of Condemned Meats or Meat Products.—17. Agents of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board are also authorized to examine, in any way that may be necessary, any animals, meats or meat food products found in such establishments, for the purpose of determining whether such animals, meats or meat products are mature or may be made into sound, wholesome and healthful human food. Animals, careasses or parts thereof, that are immature, unsound, unhealthful, unwholesome or otherwise unfit for human food, shall be rejected or condemned, and said animals, carcasses, or parts or products thereof, shall be treated and disposed of as follows: (a) Where an offal tank is immediately available, the lower open- ing shall be first sealed by an agent of the State Live Stock Sanitary Board or an authorized local meat inspector, then the condemned car- casses, parts, or meat food products shall be placed therein, in the presence 78 OREGON LAWS AND REGULATIONS of such agent or local meat inspector, after which the upper opening shall be sealed by the said agent or local inspector, whose duty it shall be to see that a sufficient force of steam is turned into the tank and maintained a sufficient time to render the conterts unfit for any edible product. Tanks for this purpose shall be so located that the fumes and odors therefrom shall not prevade the rooms in which carcasses are dressed or stored, or meat food products prepared. (b) Where an offal tank is not available the condemned carcasses, parts or meat products shall be treated in such manner that will render them unfit for food purposes. Method of Disposing of Suspected Animals._18, Any cattle, sheep, swine or goats showing symptoms or suspected of being immature or of being affected with any disease or condition which under these regu- lations would probably cause their condemnation when slaughtered, shall be marked at the time of examination by affixing to the ear a numbered metal tag bearing the words “Oregon (number) Quarantined,” and said tag shall remain on the animal until it is slaughtered. No animal so marked or tagged shall be slaughtered for meat or be rendered into meat food pro- ducts, (within the indicated period of quarantine; nor until the State Live Stock Sanitary Board, or an agent thereof, or an authorized local meat in- spector, shall duly certify that the condition or cause necessitating quaran- tine has been removed, nor shall any immature or other animals, quaran- tined as aforesaid, be, at any time, removed, upon any pretense whatso- ever from the place, stable, stall, building or enclosure wherein such ani- mal has been quarantined, without the written permit or consent of the Board or an agent thereof, and then only upon such reasonable terms and conditions as to the future supervision and inspection as the Board, or its agent, may impose.) Any agent affixing such tag to an animal shall make a report of the number of the same together with a description of the animal, the location of the same and the name of the owner and his address, to the Live Stock Sanitary Board and any agent of this Board or authorized local meat inspector supervising the slaughter of such an animal shall send the tag to the State Live Stock Sanitary Board with a report of the conditions found and the dispositions made of the carcass and other parts.
