The following extracts are taken from
au address sent out TO the cattle breed
ers and feeders of America by Hon. D.
". Smith, president of the cattle grow
ers of the United States:
Illinois congressman desire TO have
some definite information in regard to the
losses inflicted upon the cattle industry
of the state by reason of the existence of
contagious pleuro pneumonia, and the
quarantine restrictions of other states
and territories against Illinois cattle.
viii you please send answers to the fol-
lowing questions, viz:
/. In your opinion, what per cent of
depreciation has there been upon the val,
ue of breeding cattle in this state by rea>
son OF those restrictions?
2. What number of breeding cattle
have, in your opinion, been debarred
from sale in the states and territories
against Illinois cattle?
3. What have been your own individ-
ual losses by depreciation of values.
4, What were your sales of breeding
cattle during Inc years 1888, and 1888,
and 1885, and 1862
Will you please send answer as prompts
ly as possible, as this information should
be received on or before Dec T.
1t is To be hoped every cattle man in
Illinois will at once write to his represent
tative and senators in congress. strongly
urging them to support the necessary
legislation for the prompt and immediate
suppression of contagious diseases among
the domestic animals, and particularly of
contagious pleuro pneumonia among
cattle. Will you not interest yourself
actively in this matter, and have your
friends and neighbors do the same? 1t
will be better that each man write per
s0nal letters and not follow stereotypcd
form of appeal or petition 1t is imper-
atively necessary that legislation he Sc
cured this winter. as it is the Judgment
of those best informed upon the subject
that another years delay will permit the
disease to become so generally dissemin-
Gted that it will be beyond all control.
