Lifted Until Danger Passes.
Chicago. Nov fs.-To pleas OF east
ern livestock shippers for release OF
the embargo on outgoing shipments OF
fat stock from Chicago DR. :. T. Ben
nett. federal inspector in charge, turns
a deaf ear.
we have these Yards thoroughly
cleaned and free from all contamlna-
ton. and until we have located every
possible section in Illinois where dis
ease may now exist it will not be SAFE
to release cattle for shipments to the
east. said DR.. Bennett.
Our inspectors are making care
fol examination of all cattle stock ar
irving here but still if we were to per-
NIT some of il to go out for eastern
slaughter there might oe disease de-
ivelop among them while en route. ana
TO prevent this possibility OF relniec-
ton OF eastern states and also rem
lection of the yards. it is deemed pest
to continue the embargo on SOCK gong
out from the market
Dr. Bennett stated that for the pres
ent livestock arriving in the yards
from free states. and also from Illinois,
will be unioaded only in daylight. our
men must thoroughly inspect every
animal upon arrival here. SAD ne.
and we are not going TO run any risk
of unloading disease animal or
suspect"
DR. Bennett stated that the situation
outside of Illinois still shows encour-
agernent Iowa and Wisconsin are two
sta,es from which the livestock trade
would like resumption 81 receipts OF
stock, but while the disease infected
fox.y IN,
number, the government officials re-
fuse 10 release free areas IN Iowa and
Wisconsin until the danger of disease
spread is past. Isl
DR.. Bennett said there might posi-
bly, be some modification of the Iowa
and Wisconsin quarantine within
few days. but as yet no definite dates
fer action car even be surmised.
Meanwhile. judging from the condition
OK livestock demand apparent in the
market here the past two days traders
declare that the light receipts which
haze arrived fully demonstrated that
demand has not required more.
If the da.ryrnen's committee, which
has gone to Washington TO seek fed
erai CO. operation in moving the iso-
Ia ted dairy cattle in the yards, is sue
cessful in its mission I VIII readily
gree 10 release the q1arantined ami
mails and supervise their removal to
the Tichenor- Grand sta b.es al Paulina
and Fifty ninth streets, Chicago under
conditions that will absolutely prevent
spread of the disease germs said
, Dr. o. E. Dyson, state veterinG Ran.
The dairy cattle in their present
quarters are menace 10 the meat in
dustry. They cast a stigma against
clean yards here. Their removal will
not occasion any fear on part of au-
thorities of disease spread. and, once
placed in the new quarters. where they
can be treated to much better advan-
tage than in the present location. there
will be an opportunity afforded for a
scientific study of the disease. and
some means to determine whether il
can be cured, or cattle. once recovering
from its worst effects, can be made
immune.
The owners of the valuable dairy
herds are willing to submit their dis
eased and exposed animals to the
treatment veterinarians purpose" said
DIR. Dyson, and all that prevents their
removal now is the willingness of the
bureau of animal industry and the
secretary of agriculture 20 consent to
moving them.
once located in the proposed new
quarters. the veterinarians can estab-
fish an isolation hospital, where the
cattle can be treated muc!l more ex-
! peditously than in the yards. and when
! the animals have passed thru the
crisis of the disease it is proposed to
bring in other cattle and house them
with the diseased infected stock.
| Then, if the newly exposed ami
mails fail to become diseased, science
will have gained knowledge in connec-
tion with the foot and mouth plague
that will be of inestimable value. This
move is not being suggested without
the consent of the dairymen. They are
among the heartiest supporters of it,
said DR.. Dyson. Most of the animals
have the disease only in a benign
form, but each day more % them are
being attacked in the present quar-
ters."
