To His Excellency, Governor John M.
Thayer-Dear Sir: In reply to your COM
munication of the 5th inst, I AXE occasion
10 inform you that the same has been laid
before the board of live stock agents, and re-
ceived full consideration. We have no
knowledge that any glandcred horses have
been brought into this state by parties who
knew them to be glandered, for the purpose
of sale In order to secure compensation for
them. Our instructions to all veterinarians
are to obtain a correct history of the dis
eased horse, where said horse has been, when
brought into the state, If diseased or in good
health at the time, and these facts must be
sworn to by the owner of the horse. They
have also to make oath that they have not
violated any Of the rules and regulations of
the live stock agents, and have been diligent
in trying to prevent their animals from being
exposed to any contagious disease.
In order to impress these rules and regula-
tions more firmly upon the minds of the
sherifs and inspectors we have this day
issued the following circular letter to them,
which is respectfully submitted. Very re-
specially yours, w. w. ABBEY,

series for the purpose of having them re-
ported to this board for examination, with
the hope, in case they are condemned and
destroyed, of obtaining the indemnity
allowed by the state for the destruction of
animals having contagious diseases. You
are therefore called upon to give this matter
your earnest attention, and if you discover
unv nprgnn frafticinn in 1ionaead hnrcaa van
will at once cause his arrest with a view to
his prosecution to the fullest extent of the
law. 1t is the intention and determination
Of this board to stamp out all contagious an
imal diseases within the state. To make our
efforts successful in this direction we need,
and earnestly invite, the cooperation of the
people and their local officers. Your atten-
ton is respectfully called to sections 10, 16,
