Stock Inspection Commissioners. We
publish herewith the law in reference
to dipping scabby cattle. This law Is
printed on page u of the StOckmens
Official Green Book, under the title OF
Sanitary order No. B. 1t follows.
| All herds of cattle within the mango
infected districts Of this state, as de-
scribcd by the circular Of May goth, In
which any animals are infected WIN
mango must be dipped in some stand
ard cattle dip, mixed sufficiently strong
to cure this disease, between the 10Th
day of October and the 18th day OF
November, 1903, except in the coun-
ties of Kiowa, Otero, Bent, Prowers,
Las Animas and Baca, where the dip
ping must be done between October
18th and December 18th, 1903.
This dipping shall be done under the
direction of an inspector of this board
and must be thorough in every re-
spect. Where one or more animals in
a herd are affected, the whole herd
must be dipped. All badly affected
animals must be separated from the
balance of the herd and again thor
oughly dipped ten days after the first
dipping.
During the time of dipping when
ever any cattle are found NANCY Or
mjnglng with NANCY cattle, that are
off their range. or whose owners re-
fuse to have them dipped, or whose
owners are not present or represented,
these cattle shall be dipped the same
lis the others, and the person in charge
of the dipping plant shall certify to
the Inspector of his county and also to
this board the number and kind of ami
mails so dipped. their brands and the
name of the owner, if known, and the
expense of dipping such cattle, which
in no case shall exceed Is cents per
head, and this charge shall become a
lien upon said cattle, and il the owner
or owners shall refuse to pay said
charges the inspector will be in
structed to proceed to collect the same
by law.
Herders will be required to keep the
dipped cattle separated from those
that nave not been dipped, AS far as
BOARD to have all infected herds in the
infected territory treated during the
time specified and to prevent reinfec-
tion as far as possible.
All counties In the infected area of
the state described in the order Of
May Goth, will be quarantined during
the time herein set apart for dipping,
and no cattle will be allowed to move
into or out of such counties except by
permission of duly authorized in
spector of this board until they shall
have been thoroughly dipped as re-
qured by this order, unless said cattle
are destined out of the state or are for
immediate slaughter.
When infected animals shall be TAX
en- from corrals or pens to be dipped
said corarls or pens shall be disinfccted
with per cent solution Of carbolic
acid, thoroughly applied with pump
OR brush to all posts, managers, etc,
before any cattle shall again be placed
therein.
For the purpose of meeting the eX-
pense of this inspection and superviS-
ion, an inspector will be appointed for
each county in the infected area
whose duty it shall be to see that this
order is thoroughly complied with in
his county, and he will be given in
structions and authority to thorough
ly inspect any or all herds of cattle in
said county and to collect fee of ,
cents per head upon all cattle inspect
ed, whether infected or not; except
thatln counties where the county com
missioners pay said inspector, no fee
will be collected by this board.
Where organized stock associations
will agree to assist in this work, this
board will authorize one or more mem
bers of such associations to act as in
spectors without pay; but with author
ity from this board to see that the dip
ping is thoroughly aud properly
done.
While this board does not specify
what dip must be used, it will require
that the dip used be of a strength suf
ficient to kill the mango parasite, and
inspectors will be instructed as t.
how the different dips must be pre-
pared.
AS it is Of vital Importance to the
cattle interests and all cattle men Of
the state, this board earnestly solictS
and hopes to receive the assistance and
cooperation of all stOckmen in its cf-
