Not the least by any means of the

many more because of the limited

give this year. Although the Clinic

MODIFY CATTLE
RULES ON ''T.B."
That Shippers May Understand
Restrictions Regulation Has
Been Clarified.
TEST EMIGRANT SHIPMENTS
Registration Of Temperatures Oiscon-
tinued at Eighteenth Hour After
Injection Of Tuberculin-Heif-
ers on Same Basis.

Notifications In the restrictions on
interstate shipment of cattle imposed
for the prevention Of the spread of
cattle tuberculosis are announced by
the bureau of animal industry Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture. In order that live stock shippers
may more readily understand the re-
strictions. the entire regulation has
been redrafted and the language clari-
fed.
One of the notifications is for the
aid of emigrants who live in sparsely
settled sections of the country where
II would be very expensive TO have
their cattle tested before moving them
TO another state. Such shipments usu-
ally do not pass through public stock
yards, and veterinarians are not al
ways available In such sections. The
new regulation, therefore, permits emf
grant shipments to be tested on route
or at the destination. Permission to
do so, however, must first be received
from the bureau inspector in charge
OF tuberculosis eradication work in the
state of destination, or from the proper
state official.
Data gathered from the various
state and bureau field workers, ii is
said. clearly indicate that the tuber-
culosis test can be shortened two
hours without interfering with its ell

made permitting the registering OF
temperatures to be discontinued at the

hour.
