HOW QUARANTINE LIFTING
 APPLIES IN CONNECTICUT
Regulations Are Different from Those
 Formerly Issued.

The federal order which goes into effect today lifting the foot and mouth disease quarantine from the counties of Fairfield. Litchfeld, Middlesex, New London, Holland and Windham IS rad ically different from the instructions which had been received prior to this date by the agents.
 All territory outside of five miles of any affected premises in the coun- ties of Hartford and New Haven will
 be made an exposed area, according
 to information received from the bu-
 reau of animal industry.
 They had been instructed that all
 localities where the disease had been found would be made exposed area 30
 days after it had been disinfected, but
 the later instruction extends this area
 to 8. radius of five miles from the
 cases found. An exposed area, accord
 ing to tho definition and rules of the department, is contained in Those DOT
 tons Of quarartined area from which
 the interstate and foreign movement
 of cattle, sheep. other runinants and
 swine is permitted for immediate
 slaughter after inspection and certi- f1eation, and into which such animals
 may be moved for any purpose; also from which the interstate and foreign movement Of dressed carcasses of such animals, and of hay, straw, or similar fodder, manure or litter, is restrict ed" In brief, this means that begin ming tomorrow in Hartford and New Haven counties, cattle may be shipped to outside points providing that they are to be slaughtered. immediately and l inspected. Cattle may be moved into these two counties for any purpose which will allow the farmers whose animals were killed as infected, tc 1 replenish their herds with the money | paid them by the state and govern l ment. In all other parts of the state 1 the quarantine is lifted completely ana 1 conditions will return to normal as 1 before the outbreak of the epidemic. | Massachusetts and Rhode Island arc ] also affected by the new order. | l is now announced that the fedora quarantine is to be lifted from tht 1 counties of Barnstable, Berkshire l Dul0es, Franklin and Nantucket il | Massachusetts, while territory in nine | other counties not within a radius O. 1 three miles of infected premises vii 1 be made exposed area. This mean! ! that although the disease has not ye 1 been eradicated in the Bay state tn,
 quarantine is being lifted until it re | stricts practically only those 1ocaIi
 ties where the disease is feared now
 In Rhode Island the quarantine will b' 1 lifted from the counties of Bristol anC ] Washington and in the counties o 1 Kent, Newport and Providence, al ! territory is outside ar adius of fiv' miles Of infected premises will l0t made exposed area.
