Of the disease.
AS a direct result of the conditions
growing out of the investigation, word
came through the board of animal in
dustry of the department of agricul-
ture, ordering the entire states of New
York and Pennsylvania quarantined.
Pennsylvania state authorities have
declared a quarantine against New

of the department of agriculture of
this state ordered that strict quar-
antine be placed on five counties in
western New York, namely, Erie Nj
agara, Orleans, Wyoming and Genesee.
Animals injected with the foot and
mouth disease have been discovered
in each of these counties by govern
ment inspectors, who have been quiet
ly at work for over a week. Practic-
ally all the cases. it is said, have been
traced back to Buffalo.
Chief Melvin of the Washington bu-
reau has been here in personal charge
of the crusade to stamp out the dis.
ease, and under him are working a
score of inspectors.
The federal quarantine will apply to
all cattle in this state and Pennsylva.
MIA and no one is prepared to say how
long it will last. Over two hundred
men were put to work today on the
East Buffalo yard disnfecting every
inch of ground. This work will take
at least three weeks. The state de-
partments quarantine will be very
strict. There We're eighty animals
in the two carloads of yearlings which
caused the trouble. They came from
the west, but the exact points from
which they were assembled have not
been learned. DR.. b. p. Wende, chief
inspector in the Buffalo branch of the
federal bureau Of animal industry, has
a clue that they came from Michigan
and he stayed for that state to fol.
