DISEASED CATTLE 70 BE KILLED.
Agricultural Depart ment Takes Charge Of
the War on Foot and Mouth Disease.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-Dr. Salmon, chief
Of the Bureau Of Animal Industry of the
Agricultural Department, will leave for
Boston tomorrow to take personal charge
Of the war which will be waged by the
Department against the dreaded foot and
mouth disease now prevalent among live
stock in the New England States. DR..
Salmon will have from fifty to a hundred
assistants distributed throughout the in
fected districts, and cattle will be slaugh-
tered whenever necessary, as there is no
erectual remedy against the disease and
the killing of all infected animals will prove
cheapest in the long run.
As a measure of protection to the pack ing
industry the Department has decided to
permit live stock To pass through the quar-
antned States for immediate slaughter. in
cases where the cars containing them are
sealed by Government inspectors at stock
yards before reaching the infected region
and the seals remain intact upon arrival at
the point of destination.
DIR. Salmon says that in his opinion Great
Britain was entirely justified in closing her
ports to live stock from the New England
region. but that as long as there was no
general quarantine against this country
the exports would not be materially affected
There were shipped from Boston last year
1887 head Of cattle, 10000 sheep and $50
horses. In addition TO more than 10000
head Of Canadian cattle and 10000 Canadian
sheep. the entire export live stock trade
aggregated a total value OF 5000. 90
There were also extensive shipments from
