meeting of the Executive Committee of
1.-THE State Board Of Agriculture was called
at the rooms of the Board yesterday to
lconsider what is best to be done in regard
Ito the cattle plague. The committee con-
sists of Messrs. Fullington. McMillen, Nc
Cluug, buckingham and Turney. A large
number of the stock raisers Of the State
met with the Board and gave their views
freely on the subject. 81 Il iz-s "a
The meeting was organized by calling
Governor Hayes to the chair The gentle
menepresent were invited to give their
views on the question OF. the cattle plague
and how to prevent 1T. From what we
could gather, we learned that the disease
was first noticed in this State in June last,
in the cattle pens at Brighton, where many
cattle died before it was known what was
the matter. sl fga'l ts 81 is1raisrg -at
One gentleman said that in diseased cat
tie the outer surface of the hide was covered
with lice or ticks. The inner surface OF the
hide was Redeemed, and in some points
raised or thickened. Upon careful inspec-
tion Of these raised or thickened points,
ticks were found imbedded alive, and Of
the same appearance of those found on the
outside of the hide, except that they were
filed with tlood, which gasethem dark
er color. The horns were natural, and
contained the pith in the natural state
The tail was also snaturafI and free from
any evidence of disease. Some Of these
lice he had there for exhibition.
After hearing the views of all the stock
men present as to what in their opinion
should be done to prevent the importation
of Texas or diseased cattle into the State,
and for which various plans of action were
suggested, it was finally agreed that Com
missioners should be appointed at different
points In the State, under the law Of 1867,
to prevent the bringing OF these cattle in'o
our borders. The meeting then adjourned,
that the Executive Committee of the State
Board of Agriculture might take action in
the case. The following is that action:
