Transportation of Veal Calves.
DIR. E. +. Niles. the State veterinarian
az the Experimental Station at Blacks
burg. who is at present stopping at MUIR
phy's Hotel in this city, has issued the
following rules governing the transporta-
ton of veal calves:
The transportation of veal calves from
the region quarantined against spleneuc
or southern cattle fever 10 the Richmond
market is hereby authorized, provided
such calves are transported by rall, poat'
or wagon. and when so transported placed
in pens set apart, as in the case OF other
ouarantined cattle. When said calves are
moved from said quarantine pens TO go
to the various slaughter houses they must
be moved by wagons, and then only LOT
immediate slaughter.
While speaking on the subject OF closing
the Manchester bridges against the driv-
ing of cattle from Chesterfield into Rich
mond. DR.. f.. +. Niles. the State veterl-
marian, said last night:
'In order to prevent the city OF Rich-
mond and the counties north of the
| James river from becoming infected, the
| driving of cattle from quarantined as
tricts over the various bridges across the
James river had 10 be prohibited. II
seems that only a part of the farms N
| Chesterfield county are infected, and that
| the driving of cattle through Chesterfield
| from the southern counties into the codn-
~ of Chesterfield and the city of Rich
mond can be prevented. The county OF
| Chesterfield can within q comparatively
| short time be made free from quarantine.
| This ruling will not materially affect the
| marketing of cattle from the Infected as
fricts. since II can be transported by ran
under certain rules. and since the infected
| region contains a great many more mar
, kets than the free portion of the state
| including such markets as Manchester
| Danville, Norfolk, Petersburg, and
| Lynchburg."
