he makes n thoroughly scientific review OF

dltion OF Injected cattle and

with the appearance Of the animal after

~ a strong analogy between cholera In
the human race and the so.called Texas
plague In cattle. From the manner OF

apparently free from the disease have pos

cattle, Should this be true, the report
says, the remedy would be very simple
aud may be made effVctual 10y an efficient
quarantining OF all diseased cattle or cat
tie that have been exposed TO the disease.
In this case a board fence separating the
well from the sick would be a sufficient
preventive. DR. Swlnburns expresses
the opinion that infected Northern or
Western cattle do not transmit the dis
case one to another He also recon-
monds an appropriation Tor ecientilic

discover, II possible, its cause. He also
recommends the enactment OF law re-
curing the transportation OF cattle In
cars or boats constructed for the pur-
pose, in which the comfort of cattle
could be secured aud overcrowdng
prevented, and that all railroad and
steamboat companies engaged in such
traffic be required TO provIdeproper yards
at stated distances where cattle could be
unloaded and supplied with pure water
and good food, and that ut such points
the cars or boats engaged In such trans
portatlon be thoroughly oleansed and dis
infected. 1t Is further recon-
mended that In the appear
ance OF the disease among cattle
either In injected sections or among cat
tie ~ nrnccsg % transportation, q system
OF strict quarantine be established and
that no infected cattle or cattle exposed
