The TEXAS FEVER LINE.

Regulations Issued by the Secretary of
Agriculture Concerning Cattle Transport
alton.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-In accordance
with the act of congress of May 20,
1894, the secretary of agriculture has
issued to managers and superintend-
ents of railroads and transportation
companies of the United States, stock
men and Others" the usual regulations
concerning cattle transportation, to be
in force from the 18th day of February
inst. to the 1st day of December next.
The principal difference between the
regulations and those of last year lie
in the fact that the Texas fever
line. as it is called. has been
extended westward to the Pacific
coast. The line from the Pacific
coast to its junction to the old line,
which formerly did not extend beyond
western Texas, is described as running
from the extreme western point of the
county of Contra Costa eastward along
the northern boundaries of Contra
Costa and San Juan to the western
boundaries of Amador, then north
along the western boundary of AmadOr
to the southwestern corner of Ell Do
RADIO, then southwest to the boundary
line of California, thence southeasterly
along the eastern boundary of Cali
fOrnia to the western border of
Arizona, then south along the
western boundary of Arizona to
the southwestern border of the
territory, and east along the southern
boundaries of Arizona and New Mexico
to the Rio Grande. southeast along the
Rio Grande to the southwest corner of
the county of Foley, Tex, and north
easterly along that river to the south
western corner of the county of Pecos,
which was the western extremity of
the old line. The principal change in
the old Texas fever line affects the ter
ritory of Oklahoma. q large portion of
the northwestern part OF that territory,
which was formerly included with the
line. being now outside. There are
Missouri. Tennessee and Virginia left
out of the line.
The bureau of animal industry is
preparing the map for 1895, showing
the Texas fever line in its entirety,
under the regulations. and it will be
printed and ready for distribution as
soon as possible. The regulations inn
posed upon transportation companies.
stocllmen and others. with regard to
the removal of cattle from points south
of this line. do not differ from those in
force last year.
