Excerpt from Proceedings of the Tenth Annual Convention: Held in Fruit Growers Hall, Bendersville, Penna., Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, December 16, 17, 18, 1914It was first necessary to locate the diseased herds. Agents were sent out at once to trace up suspicious shipments. When a diseased animal was found all the cattle, hogs and Sheep on the premises were placed in quarantine. In all cases the diagnosis was confirmed by the state and federal agents. Both representatives were satisfied that the diagnosis was correct. The diseased and exposed cloven footed animals on the premises were then all appraised at their actual value. Arrangements were made for digging the burial trenches. In some cases the work was done by the owner Of the herd while in others contractors did it. In either case the expense is borne equally by the federal and state government. The animals were then killed, covered with one hundred pounds Of lime to each one thousand pounds Of estimated animal weight and buried in a grave seven feet deep, seven feet wide and two feet in length for each mature bovine animal. Next the stable is carefully cleaned and disinfected. The owner will not be permitted to restock with cloven footed animals for sixty days from the time the premises are disinfected.

During this time the township is held in quarantine and it is necessary to Obtain a permit to move hay, straw, cattle, Sheep, swine or hides.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
