A meeting of the members of the
House Committee on agriculture
and members of the committee of
cattle men appointed recently
in Chicago, held at the
Capital a general discussion in
regard to contagious diseases among
cattle, was INDUCED in by Hunt, of
New Jersey. He said Congress
would appropriate an adequate
amount payable to the order of the
Iroper authorities in three months.
He advocated the burning of all
buildings where disease occurred.
Judge Carly, of Wyoming, gave a
history OF the disease, saying it was
like the Asiatic cholera spreading
through Europe, reaching New York
forty years ago. 1t prevailed in Cen
trail Europe, Great Britain, Aus
tralia, and this country. All that
saved the West from the disease was
the line of transportation from East
to West. Had it beer otherwise the
Western plains would have been at
fected, and once existing, it would
have spread over the entire country
and could not be stopped. He said
there was q hundred million dollars
invested in the cattle business in the
United States.
Representative Weller gave notice
that he would offer a bill appropriate
ing ten million dollars by the Gov
eminent for supervising contagious
diseases among cattle, to be distrib-
lted among the States and Terri
tories on the ratio Of Congressional
representation, provided each State
appropriate the same equal
amount giy en- by the Government.
