State Cattle Ban On AIIegany, Freder-

State Cattle Ban On Aliegany, Freder'
ick and Washington.
napolis.-Acting upon the request
Of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board, Governor Goldsborough, issued
proclamation quarantining Allegany,
Washington and Frederick counties to
prevent the spread Of the hoof and
mouth disease to parts of the State at
present unaffected. Under the terms
Of the quarantine, no cattle may be
taken out of or brought into the coun-
ties.
The entire State is now under Fed
eral quarantine. but the State author
tiles believe the divisional quar-
antine the suse can be prevented
from spreading to those sections Of
the State now unaffected. DR.. L. Hick-
man, State veterinarian, returned from
AlIegany, Frederick and Washington
counties, after making an exhaustive
study of the disease there. 1t was DR..
Hickman's report to the Live Stock
Board that prompted the request to
Governor Goldsborough.
The cattle affected by the disease
are being slaughtered as quickly as
they are found.
This step was considered necessary
in order to stamp out the disease at
its beginning. Its germs are spread
easily, even by persons who walk from
one pasture to another. At this time
of year car loads of cattle are brought
from the West to farms in Western
Maryland to be fattened during the
winter for slaughter later. and one in
fected animal can spread the disease
through an entire community.
A temporary embargo has been
placed on Maryland hay by the Fed
eral authorities. In this hay embargo
were included also the States Of In
diana, New York, Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Hay from these States will not
be allowed to be shipped unless it is
thoroughly disinfected.

might save him. In response to the
farmers query as to what he meant
by stealing chickens, the fox said: q
never stole chickens in my life. I'm a
vegetarian"
What were you doing in my hen
coop?"
Il merely stopped her to talk about
the war from perfectly neutral stand
point"
But how about that dead and half
eaten chicken? Perhaps you know
nothing about that?"
But do, though" said the fo&. "A
mink did that. He ran away at your

When the farmer regained con-
