Ida Grove. Nov. 30.-Seventeen head
of cattle were stolen in Ida and Chero-

about 1000. A man giving his name
as John Peters, and residing in the
northwestern part of Ida county, drove
five head of steers into the town Of
Battle Creek, Monday morning, Nov.
%. and sold them to Christensen
Bros. proprietors of a meat market, for

farmer living north of Battle Creek,
counted his cattle Friday of the same

Des MONIES, Nov. 30.-In an address SIS
delivered today at the conference OF
federal and state officials and mem
bers of state animal health commits
sions held in Chicago, DR.. j. l. Gibson,
state veterinarian, declared the most
difficult feature in connection with an
outbreak OF foot and mouth disease
was the enforcement of a strict quar-
antine. The Officials were gathered
from all parts Of the country 10 con-
slider the question of the control Of the
foot and mouth disease
DR.. Gibson's subject was "Quaran-
tine Zones or Units"
States, counties and townships are
the most convenient units 10 be in
Guided in quarantine declared DR.
Gibson. The proposition of main
tanning strict quarantine upon three
five or ten mile quarantine zone is
very difficult, because the line is al
ways more or less in doube and there is
always more or less intentional as well
as unintentional violations OF such
lines.

the individual outbreaks and the vio-

Cooperation Lacking.
What is needed is perfect cooper
alton, with implicit obedience on the
part of all the people, as this would
permit the authorities TO narrow these
Individual zones, but the lack of com
plete CO. operation and disobedience Of
the regulations make it necessary to
close the larger zone.
The maintenance of a perfect quar-
antine around an individually infected
farm is practically an impossibility.
The fact that the carriers of the in
lection are so varied and that such a
large percentage OF these carriers are
not under control are the elements
that I claim make a perfect Quaran-
tine an impossibility A military guard,
with man stationed every rod around
the infected farm, said guard to be on
duty day and night with searchlights
trained upon the guarded line would
still render 1t impossible 20 control the

and to prevent its spread to the ad-

Much of the difficulty encountered
in connection with the enforcement or

to the fact that the people do not un-

ease with which 1t is spread and fur
