The ^'cterinary Blue Hook is the product of the uecessity which cei'tain veterinarians felt they recjuirecl to establisii their profession upon a more definite basis than had existed a few A'ears ago. When legislation undertook the regulation of tlie practice of veterinary medicine in New York State, the onlv organized body of veterinarians in it was the State Society, to which onl_\- two or three practitioners in New York City belonged. Throughout the State men of all classes assumed any veterinary title which they saw tit, and when the law commanded the first registratii m of veter- llis inarians, Patrick X (J'dradv and an educated graduate from a iii.-irk f(iur-}'ears' course in a ( lerman imiversily were jieers in its c\-es. Ihe practice of ^'cterinary medicine was eiiuallx- deplorable. Many graduates and non-graduates competeil in augmenting their trade by the sale oi fjuack medicines. 1'.^" familiar associa- tion with coachmen and grooms, and lil)cral division with them of the money charged the horse-owner, \ eterinar)' practices were supposed to be built up. L'.ut this low standing of a pnriirm of the ^'eLerinar\- profession is not tf Xew York, a smaller list was formed, and the names of these, with their correct addresses, were verified by the City Directory and by a series of from one to live letters, b)- L'nitcd States mail in return enx'elrjpes, addressed to the address gi\'eii at the Count}- Clerk's oflice and to the last-known address. The result of this verifica- tion is the list of 'AA'terinarians in N^ew York Cit}'" (pages i to 551. d'here may be a fe\-\' others among the "not found'' who are still in Xew York, and while they could not he found in the post office, or have not wished to return information as to their addresses, still arc entitled to practice; and new names are added from time to time as now allowed oiil}' b)}- license from the Board of Regents. Also removed veterinarians ma\' return. Idicse veterinarians onh' are entitled to practice veteriiiarv med- icine in New York Cit}-. Information as to the legal (|ualitication oi any veterinarian in Ne\\- York City, whose name does not appear in the printed list, can always be obtained by application to the officers of the \^eter- inary Medical Association of New York Countv. B}- a series of several hundred circulars, and later se\'eral huii- dreil return postal cards, trj the meniliers of the New York State W-terinary Medical Societv and of the Cnitcd States A'ctcrinarv Medical Association, and by advertisements in the veterinary journals, and an issue of over five thousand circulars to all known veterinarians in the United States and Canada, the list was obtained which is published under 'A'eterinarians, New York State, and Other States" (pages 36 to 91). The information as regards diploma, positions, etc., of these latter is as furnished over his signature by each indi\'i(iual. The list of veterinarians employed by the Bureau of Animal In- INTROnUCTIoN. Xlii dustry was kindl)^ furnished by its Chief, Dr. D. E. Salmon, and that of those in the U. S. Army by the courtesy of Dr. Turner, Sixth Cavalry. W e have selected from the laws and regulations pul^lished Ijy the Treasury Department and Department of x\griculture of the United States Government, from the Public Heahh Law, Agricul- tural Law and Domestic Commerce Law of the State of New York, and from the Sanitary CikIc of the Board of Health of the city of Xew York, such parts as are of direct and useful interest to the ^'eterinarian and to the live-stock owner. From the various .State \'eterinary Saniiar\- laws, we have se- lected a few of the most prominent in several sections of the United States as examples. A\diile the laws of Alaljama, Mar_\ land, Penn- s\-lvania and Mrginia represent the actual ])rotection obtainable in those localities, the wide divergence of the laws of Massachusetts and Montana are interesting as showing the demand for detailed inspection of the products of milk anrl meat in the home market of the former, and the more general scope of protection of herds and animal commerce in the latter. The rides and regulation.s of racing, of Jjoth the Jocl^ev Club in the East and the American Turf Association in the West, are given for comparison — while the rules and regulations of the Xational TrO'tting Association are given in full, only such rules of the Steeplechase and Hunt Association are .given as apply directl}' to this form of racin.g. In compiling the list of Horse Breeders' Associations and the clubs of the various lireeds of dogs, space did not permit of more extended information than their titles and the addresses of the officers, from ^\■hom nrore detailed information can be obtained. Other information which we deemed woidd be of value for refer- ence has been included, but much, tud'ortmiately, has had to be omitted in this first edition. The \'eterinary Blue Book started to be a small Ijook, of a hun- dred pages perhaps, for the immediate use nf the .Association, b}" whose authority- it is puhdished. It imconscicjusly grew so rapidl\" that an abrupt limit to it had to l)e made. A\'e trust that it \\ill be of value as a book cif reference, and will show to the ijul:>lic the scojie of collateral matters which interest the ^•eterinar^• professi(3n and the future which it has in view to develop.

In ]S86 the first veterinary law was passed requiring the regis- tration (if all practicing veterinarians at the County Clerk's office in their respective counties. Those holding diplomas were re- quired to register the fact, and non-graduates were authorized to register "by affidavit" if they had been in continuous practice of veterinar}' medicine for three years prior to registration. For the next seven vears special acts of Assembly at Alban}- ex- tended the time for registration of non-graduates, until in 1893 an act was passed allowing the registration of graduates only. Neither the act of 1886 nor that of 1893 provided adeauate means of punishment for practicing without registration, and the numer- ous evasions, and the arrogant special legislation proposed each winter at Albany made all previous legislation a farce. In 1895 the following act was passed, and its conditions are now in force and will be rigidh' enforced in the future: PRACTICE OF VETERINARY MEDICINE AND SURGERY.

The clerk shall thereupon give to everv veterinarian so registered a transcript of the entries in the register, with a certifi- cate under seal that he has filed the prescribed affidavit.

That from and after the first day of May, 1896, the following per- sons, and no others, shall be permitted to practice veterinary medicine or surgery in this State: First. All jjersons who, prior to the first day of May, 1896", are practicing veterinary medicine or surgery in this State: provided, that before the first day of November, 1896, they shall apply in writing to the State Board of Veterinary Examiners created by tliis VETICK f NA K [ A NS N' I Ki , I X I A. 85 act and furnish satisfactory proof that they have been in practice in this State prior to the first day of May, 1806. The State Board of Veterinary Examiners shall thereupon issue to such persons a certificate, without fee, allowing them to continue in practice without having- to undergo an examination as provided by Section 7 of this act. Second. All persons who shall hereafter receive certificates from the State Board of Veterin- ary Examiners of this State as provided by Section 7 of this act, and who shall also in all other respects have complied with the provisions of the same. 2. All persons who begin the practice of veterinary medicine or sur- gery in this State on or after the first day of May, 1896, and all persons who neg-lect to comply w ith the rerpiirements of the first clause of Sec- tion 1 of this act shall comply with the provisions of Section 7 before a certificate to practice shall 1-c issued to them. .3. Aay person shall be regarded as practicing veterinary medicine or surgery within the meaning of this act who .shall profess publicly to be a veterinary surgeon and offer for practice as such, or who shall prescribe for sick domestic animals, or for domestic animals needing medical or surgical aid, and shall charge and receive therefor monej^ or other com- pensation, directly or indirectly. But nothing in this act shall ajiply to residents of this State who confine their practice to the castration and spaying of live stock, nor shall it prevent any person from prescribing- for live stock who does not claim to be a veterinarian or veterinarj' surp:eon. 4. There shall be for this State a State Board of Veterinarjr Examiners, consisting of five members, whose term of office shall be four years, or until their successors are appointed and qualified. The term of office of the board first appointed after this act takes effect shall commence on the first day of May, 1890. 5. The said board shall consist of men learned in veterinary medicine and surgerj', and shall be appointed l)y the Governor on or before the first day of May, 1896, and every fourth year thereafter, from a list of ten names to be recommended by the Virginia State Veterinary Medical Association every four years. Vacancies occurring- in such board fnr xmexpired terms shall be filled by the Governor by selection from the five names not appointed from the ten last recommended by the Associa- tion. Such recommendation shall be bj' vote of a majority present at ■some meeting- of the said Association, and shall be certified to the Gov- ■ernor b3' the President and Secretary of said Association: provided, if said Association fail to make such recommendation prior to the time of -aiipointment, the Governor shall appoint such board, either in whole or in part, without regard to such recommendations. If any of said exam- iners shall cease to reside in the State, his office shall be deemed vacant. 6. The nicmbers of said board shall qualify by taking the usual n,-(th ■of office before the County or Cor]>oration Court of the county or cor- poration in which they respectively reside, or before the judge of such <;ourt in -lacation. The officers of said board shall be a President, Vice- President, and Secretary (\-\ho shall also act as Ti-easurer), said officers to be members of and selected by the board. Begular ineetings of the board shall be held at such times and ])laces as the board may prescribe, and special meetings may be held uj^on the call of the President and any two members, but there shall not be less than one I'egular meeting each year. Three members of the board shall constitute a quorum. The board may prescribe rules, regulations, and by-la^'^ s for its own proceedings and government, and for the examination by its members of candidates for the practice of veterinary medicine and surgerj'. 7. It shall be the duty of said board, at an,y of its meetings, to exam- ine all persons making- application to them who shall desire to commence the x'ractice of veterinary medicine or surgery in this State, and who shall not, b,y the provisions of this act, be exempt from such examination; -and when an applicant shall have passed an examination satisfactory 86 VETERINARIANS VIRGINIA. as to efficiency before the board in session the President thereof shall grant to sueli apjilicant a certificate to that effect. A fee of five dollars shall be ])aid to said board, through such officers or members as it may designate, bj' each applicant before such examiuation is held. In case any applicant shall fail to pass a satisfactory examination he shall not be permitted to stantl any further examination within the next six months liiereafter, or until the next meeting of said board, nor shall he haAe again to pay the fee prescribed as aforesaid: provided, however,, no applicant shall he rejected upon his examination on account of his- adherence to anj' particular school of medicine or system of practice, nor on account of his views as to the method of treatment and cure of disease; and provided, further, that when, in the opinion of the president of the board, any ap])licant has been prevented by good cause from appearing before the board the president of the board shall appoint a committee of three members ■s\ho shall examine such applicant, and may, if they see fit, grant him a certificate, which shall have the same force- and elfect as though granted him bj' the full Ijoard. 8. The fund realized from the fees aforesaid shall be applied by the boai-d to the payment of its expenses and to making a reasonable com- pensation to the president and secretarj-. 9. The Secretary of the State Board of Veterinary Examiners shall record in a, boolc to be kept for such purpose the names of all practi- tioners ol veterinary medicine or surgery in this State to whom certi- ficales are issued allo^\ing them to practice as provided for in this act. Said book shall be styled and recognized as the register of the practi- tioners of veterinary medicine and surgery in Virginia, and it shall be- admissible evidence. Said register shall be accurately kept by the sec- retary of said board, who shall at any time during business hours allow it to be inspected in his presence by any person interested, either at his office or at any meeting of the State Board of Veterinary Examiners. Said secretary shall insert in said register any alteration in the name or address of any i-egistered person which may come to his knowledge, and he shall also record the decease of any registered person as soon as he receives satisfactory proof thereof. 10. Any person who shall practice veterinary medicine or surgery in this State in violation of the provisions of this act sliall be fined not less than fifty nor more than five hundred dollars for each offence, and it shall not be hnvful for him to recover by action, suit, motion, or warrant any compensation for services which may be claimed to have been rendered by him as such practitioner of veteriiiary medicine or surgery. 11.

Tile veterinarians in the United States Cavalry have the rank of Sergeant-lViajor for the purpose of retaining quarters and other allowances, but in reality they are civihans employed for duty with the cavalry regiments, and they wear no uniform and have no authority beyond that granted them by the variable whim of the commanding officer under whom they serve for the moment. They are appointed by the Secretary of War, upon recommenda- tion of the commanding officer of the regiment. The veterinarian must take the oath of allegiance to the United .States before enter- ing upon his duties. The position is permanent during good con- duct. ARTILLERY. Civil veterinarians are employed by the visit at posts where one or more light batteries are stationed, except when contracts have been entered into with Veterinary Surgeons, to attend at certain rates. At posts where light artillery and cavalry are stationed together the Veterinary Surgeon of Cavalry usually attends to all horses at the post. Sometimes when the Veterinary Surgeon of Cavalry is stationed at some other post a Veterinary Surgeon is employed by the Quartermaster Department under authority from the Quarter- master-General, either by visit or by contract depending entirely on the number of horses on the post. There are no regular Veterinary Surgeons in the artillery, and the method of employing a veterinarian depends mostly on circum- stances, such as the size of the garrison and the number of horses, etc. quartermaster's DEPAirrMENT. The Quartermaster's Department employs one civil veterinarian at $1,500 a year and several at $1,200 a year.

These permits shall in no case be available at any port other than the one mentioned therein. Permits nuist be in the name of the owner of, or agent for, any one lot of animals. When more persons than one own a iot of animals for which permits have been issued, a release from quarantine will be given each owner for the number and kind he may own, and this release will be a certificate of fulfillment of quar- antine regulations. Permits will be issued to f|uarantine at such ports as the importer may elect, so far as facilities exist at such port, but in no case will permits for importation at any port l)c granted in excess of the accommodations of the Government quar- antine staton at such port.

The Secretary of Agriculture will designate an inspector to take charge of the examination and inspection of animals and their products for each establishment which has been officially num- bered, and will detail to such inspector such assistants or other employees as may be necessar\' to properly carry on the work of inspection at said establishment. Tlie inspector and all employees under his direction shall have full and free access to all parts of the building or buildings used in the slaughter of animals and the con- version of their carcasses into food products. (a) Each emplo\-ee engaged in inspection under these regula- tions will be furnished with a numbered badge, which must be worn in a conspicuous manner while in the performance of his offi- cial duties, and which must not be allowed to leave his possession. (b) Each employee furnished with a badge must deposit with the inspector in charge a receipt for the said badge and the sum of $2, which amount must be transmitted l)y New York draft fwithout 112 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, expense to the Departmcntj, together with the said receipt, to the Chief of Bureau of Animal Industry and be duly receipted for by the Disbursing clerk of the iJepartnient, who will be the custodian of this guarantee fund.

J. Sti-;ri,ing Moktox. Secretary. 6. The inspector in charge of said establishment shall carefully inspect all animals in the pens of said establishment about to be slaughtered, and no animal shall be allowed to pass to the slaugh- tering room until it has been so inspected.

Any organ or part of a carcass which is badly bruised or affected by tuberculosis, actinomycosis, cancer, abscess, suppurating sore, or tapeworm c_\ sts nuist be condenuied. 7. The inspector or his assistant shall carefully inspect at the time of slaughter all animals slaughtered at said establishment and make a post-mortem rej)ort of the same to the Department. The head of each animal shall be held until the inspection of the car- cass is completed in order that it may be identified in case of con- demnation of the carcass. Should the carcass of any animal on said post-mortem examination be found to be diseased and unfit for human food, the said carcass shall be marked with the yellow condemnation tag. and the diseased organ or parts thereof, if removed frrim said carcass, shall be immediately attached to same. The entire carcass shall lie at once removed, under tin- supervision of the inspectrjr or that of some other reliable cmplo\"ce of the Department of Agriculture, tn tanks on the prenn'ses, and deposited therein, and rendered in such manner as to pre\'ent its withdrawal as a food product. Should the establishment have no facilities for thus destroying the said carcass, it nnist be rem()\'ed from the premises bv numbered permit from the ins])ector to rendering \\orks designated b_\' him, and there destroyed under his super- vision in such a manner as to make it unsalalile as edible meat. (a) Carcasses may be taken to the cooling rooms alter marking with the vellow condenniation tag, in cases w here only a portion of the carcass is condemned, and when such portion can not be re- moved without damage to the carcass, until it is properly chilled. After chilling, the condemned portions nuist be cut out and removed to the tank as provided for whole carcasses. Condemned parts that can be removed without damage to the carcass must be tanked immediately after condemnation. {b) The inspector, or the employee detailed for such purpose, must remove the numbered stub of the condenniation tag at time of placing the carcass or part of carcass in the tanks, and return it 114 UNITED STATES GON^ERXM EN'T, to the office of the inspector in charge, with a report as to the number of carcasses or parts of carcasses destroyed, the reason for destruction, and also state tliat they were tanked in his presence. (r) Should the owners of such condemned carcasses not con- sent to the foregoing disposition of them, then the inspectors are directed to brand the word "Condemned" upon each side and quarter of said carcasses, and keej) a record of the kind and weiglit of the carcasses, and tlie}- sliaU, under supervision of the inspector, be removed from the packing liouse where meat? are prepared and stored for the interstate and foreign trade; and said iirm or corporation shall forward, through the inspector, to the Secretary of Agriculture a sviorn statement, monthly, giving in detail the disposition of the carcasses so condemned, and, if the same have been sold, shoeing to whom, whether fur consumption as food or otherwise, with what knowledge, if an}", 1)>- the purchasers, of their condemnation b}' this iJepartment, and whether or not before such sale said carcasses have been cooked or their condition at the time of inspection by this Department altered, and, if so, in what ^vay. The inspectors shall, when authorized by the Secretary of Agri- cidture, give notice by publication to the express companies and common carriers at the place of condemnation of the fact of con- demnation, giving the name of the owner of such carcasses, the time and place r)f slaughter, the reason for rejection, and a description of the carcasses, and warning them not to transport them out of the State. 8. All persons are warned against removing the tags so attached to condemned carcasses, and are notified that they will be prose- cuted under the acts of Congress of March 3, 1 891, and March 2, 1895, for any such attempt to tamper with the device for marking condenmcd carcasses or parts of carcasses as prescribed by the preceding regulation. 9. Carcasses or parts of carcasses which leave said establish- ment for interstate or export trade will be tagged by the inspector, or an emjiloyec designated by him, with a numliered tag issued by the Department of Agriculture for this purpose, and a record of the same will be sent to the Department at Washington. (o)Carcasses or parts of carcasses which go into the cutting room of an abattoir, and those which are cut up for the local market, or are used for canning purposes, must not be tagged. Those which arc to be shipped from one abattoir to another for canning purposes must nrit be tagged: and tlie inspector in charge of the abattoir to \vhich the shipment is consigned, in scaled cars, must be notified of the said shipment, including tlie number and '■ ptials of the said cars and the routes traversed by them. 10. Each article of food products made from inspected carcasses must bear a label containing the official number of the establish- ment from which said product came, and also contain a statement that the same has been inspected under the provisions of the act of March 3, 1891. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. I15 (a) A copy of said label nmst be tiled at the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, and, after tiling, said label will become the mark of identification showing that the products to which it has been attached have been inspected, as provided by these rules and regulations; and any person who shall forge, coun- terfrit, alter, or deface said label' will be prosecuted under the penally clause of section 4 of the act of March 3, 1891, as amended in the act of March 2, 1895. lb) Each package to be shipped from said establishment to any foreign country must have prmted or stenciled on the side or on the tcp by the packer or exporter the following: For Export. (a) Oi^cial number of establishment. {b) Number of pieces or pounds, (c) Trade-mark. In case said package is for transportation to some other State or Territory, or to the District of Columbia, in place of the \\ords "Ec- export," the words "Interstate trade" shall be substituted. {c) The letters and figures in the above print shall be of the following dimensions: The letters in the words "Eor export" or the words "Interstate trade" shall not be less than three-fourths of an inch in length and the other letters and figures not less than one- half inch in length. The letters and figures affixed to said package shall be black and legible, and shall be in such proportion as the inspector of the Department of Agriculture may designate. 11. The inspector of the Department of Agriculture in charge of said establishment, being satisfied that the articles in said packages came from anirrials inspected by him, and that they are wholesome, sound, and fit for human food, shall paste upon said packages meat inspection stamps bearing serial numbers. 12. In order that the stamps may lie protected, and to insure imiformitv in affixing, inspectors will require of the proprietors of abattoirs and packing estaljlisliments the adoption of cases suitable for one of the two methods mentioned below: (a) The stamp mav be afii.xed in a grooved space let into the box, of sufficient size to admit it, similar to that required by the Internal Ee\enue tlureau for the stamping of packages of plug tobacco. (b) Stamps may be placed on either end of the package, pro- vided that the sides are made to project at least half an inch to afford the necessary protection from abrasion. 13. The stamp having been affixed it must be immediately can- celed. For this purpose the inspector will use a rubber stamp hav- ing five parallel waved lines long enough to extend beyond each side of the stamp on the wood of the package. At the top of said rubber stamp shall be the name of the inspector, and at the bottom the abattoir number. The imprinting from this rubber stamp Il6 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, ir.ust be wit'n durable ink over and across the stamp, and in such a manner as not to malvC the reading matter of the stamp illegible. The stamp having been affixed and canceled it must be imme- diatel}' covered with a coating of transparent varnish or other sub- stance. Orders for inspection stamps and for ruljber canceling stau.ps must be made by the inspector on tlie Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry. 14. No stamps will be issued bv the inspector except to employees of this Department designated by him to supervise the affixing of said stamps to packages of inspected prorlucts, and each employee having charge of this work shall he field personally responsible for the stamps issued to him, and shall make an accu- rate daily report to the inspector of the use of such stamps, and all unused stamps sliall be turned over to the custody of the said inspector or of his clerk at the close of each day's work. (a) Proprietors of abattoirs will suppl\' all the necessary hel]) to affix the stamps, whicli must he done under the supervision of an employee of the inspector in charge. (bj No stamps shall bt allowed to remain hmse aljout the office or the abattoirs, and iiispect(jrs arc instructed to use such addi- tional safeguards as in tlieir judgment will be necessar\- to prop- erly account for every stamp issued ]>}• tliem, and to liave the work of affixing so carefully super\"ise(l tliat nothing Ijut packages of inspected products will be stamped with tlie mcat-ins])ection stamp of this Department. (r) Any stamps damaged or not used sliould not a])pear upon the reports as having l)een affixed to packages, Ijut slioukl he returned to tlie Departnient and a re])ort made as to the reasons for their return. 'lliese regulatic)iis \\'ill also apply to meat-inspection tags, or seals, and certificates of inspection. 15. Whenever any package of meat products bearing the inspec- tion stamp shall have been opened and its contents removed for sale the stamp on said package must be obliterated. 16. Reports of the work of inspection carried on in every estab- lishment shall Ik- daily forwarded to the Department by the inspector in charge, on sucli Idank forms and in such manner as will be specified by tlie Department. 17. Whenever an al)attoir suspends slaughtering operations the inspector in charge wiU ]-)roniplly furlough without pay, until further orders, all employees whose duties are affected by such suspension, notifying this office of the date of closing 'down. During said suspension he will retain onlv such employees as are actually necessary to supervise the shipments of inspected products from said abattoir. SWINE. 18. The inspection of all swine slaughtered in the United States for both interstate and export trade will be similar in all respects to that of cattle and sheep. (See rules i to 17.) It must include a DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTUU IC. II7 v-arefiil ante-mortem examination of all hogs, as rec|uired by rules 5 and 6, and a siibseciuent post-mortem examination, as required by rule 7. A microscopic examination for trichinrc must be required for all swine products exported to countries requiring such examination. (a) No microscopic examination will be made of hogs slaugh- tered for interstate trade, but this examination will be confined to those intended for the export trade, and only at abattoirs which export pork products to countries requiring a certificate from this Government to secure the admission of sucli meats. All inspectors issuing certificates for export of pork products wdiich have been microscopically examined will enter upon tlie same the number of each stamp used and imprint the words "Microscopically examined in addition to regular inspection" across the face of the certificate. (/') The carcasses of all hogs that are to enter into interstate trade as dressed pork will be tagged in the same manner as beef is now marked for identification. The products of hog carcasses which enter into interstate trade will be stamped in the same manner as are the products of cattle. (c) The purple meat-inspection stamp will be used onl\- upon packages containing products of hog carcasses which have been microscopically examined for shipment to countries requiring such examination. ly. The microscopic inspection of pork intended for export to countries recpiiring such inspection shall be conducted as follows: When the slaughtered hog is passed into the cooling room of said establishment, the inspector in charge, or his assistants, will take from each carcass three samples of muscle, one from the "pillar of the diaphragm," one from the psoas muscle, and the other from the inner aspect of the shoulder, and said samples will be put in a selfdocking tin box and a numbered tag will be placed upon the carcass from which said samples have been taken, and a duplicate of said tag will be placed in the box with said samples. The boxes containing the samples from the hogs in the cooling room so tagged will be taken to the microscopist for such estab- lishment, vvfho shall thereupon cause a microscopic examination of the contents of each Ijox containing samples to be made, and shall furnish a written report to the inspector giving the result of said microscopic examination, together with the numbers of all car- casses from which samples have been examined. 20. All carcasses reported by the microscopist to the inspector as affected with trichin;v shall at once be removed from the cooling room or cellar of said establishment under the supervision of said inspector, or that of some other reliable emplo}ee of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, and shall be disposed of in accordance with the provisions of section 7, or they may be rendered into edible lard at a tem])erature not less than 150° F., or made into cooked meat products if the temperature is raised to the boiling point a suffi- cient time to thoroughly cook the interior of the pieces. 2T. The inspector in charge of the slaughtering or other cstab- Il8 UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, lishnient will issue a certificate of inspection for all carcasses of animals, or the food products thereof, which are to be exported to foreign countries; which certificate will cite the name of the ship- per, the date of ins]")ection, and the name of the consignee and countr}' to which said articles are to Ijc exported. Said certificate will also contain the nmnhcrs of the stamps attached to the articles to be exported, and will be issued in serial nuniljers and in trii)li- cate form. ( )ne certificate onl_\- will be issued for each consio-n- mcnt. One copy thereof will be delivered to the consignor of such shipment, one copy will be attached to the invoice or shipping bill to accomi)any the same, and be delivered by the transportation coni]")anies to the chief ofiicer of the vessel upon which said con- signment is to be transported. ((/) All names, marks, stamp lunnbers, imprints, and other \vriting of an\' description marie upon the certificate of inspection nnist be copied on the stul) of the l)ook of certificates, and be duly signed by the inspector. This stub constitutes the third copy of the certificate, and shall Lie i)rcserved and forwarded to this Depart- ment. 22. Inspectors are requested to notify the municipal authorities of the character of this inspection and to co-operate with them in preventing the entry of condennied animals or their products into the local market.

Said adoption will apply only to that jjortion of said line specified, and may cease at any time the Secretary may deem it best for the interest involved, and in no instance shall said modifica- tion exist longer than the period specified in said special order; and at the expiration of such time said quarantine line shall revert without further order to the line first above described. Whenever any State or Territory shall establish a quarantine Kne, for abo\e purposes, differently located from the above described line, and shall obtain by legislation the necessary laws to enforce same completely and strictly, and shall desire a modifica- tion of the Federal quarantine line to agree with such State or Territorial line, the proper authorities of such State or Territory shall forward to the Secretary of Agriculture a true map or descrip- tion of such line and a copy of the laws for enforcement of same, duly authenticated and certified. Such States or Territories as now have a line established as last above mentioned can immediately forward certified copies of said line and laws for the enforcement thereof, and if satisfactory to the Secretary of Agriculture, the same ma}' be adopted at once and the Federal line so modified. From the 15th day of February to the 15th day of November during each year no cattle are to be transported from said area south or below said Federal quarantine line above described to any portion of the L'nited States above, north or west of the above tlescribed line, except by rail for immediate slaughter, and when so transported the following regulations must be observed : 1. When any cattle in course of transportation from said area are unloaded above, north or west of this line to be fed or watered, the places where said cattle are to be fed or watered shall be set a]>art and no other cattle shall be admitted thereto. 2. On unloading said cattle at their points of destination, pens shall be set apart to receive them, and no other cattle shall be admitted to said pens; and tlie regulations relating to the move- ment of cattle from said area, prescribed by the cattle sanitary officers of the State where unloaded, shall be carefully observed. The cars that have carried said stock shall be cleansed and disin- fected before they are again used to transport, store, or shelter animals or merchandise. 3. All cars carrying catcle fr(jni said area shall bear placards stating that said cars contain Southern cattle, and each of the way- bills of said shipments shall have a note upon its iace with a similar statement. AMienever any cattle Iiave come from said area and 136 UNITED STATES shall be reshipped from any point at which they have been unloaded to other points of destination, the cars carrying said anmials shall bear snnilar placards with like statements, and the waybills be so stamped. At whatever point these cattle are unloaded they must be placed in separate pens, to which no other cattle shall be ad- mitted. 4. The cars and boats used to transport such animals, and the pens in which they are fed and watered, and the pens set apart for their reception at points of destination, shall be disinfected in the following manner: (a) Remove all litter and manure. This litter and manure may be disinfected by mixing it with lime or saturating it witli a 5 per cent, solution of carbolic acid, or, if not disinfected, it may Ijc stored where no cattle can come into contact with it until after November 15. (/)) Wash, the cars and the feeding and watering troughs with water until clean, (f) Saturate the walls and floors of the cars, and fencing, troughs, and chutes of the pens with a solution made hy dissolving 4 ounces of chloride of lime to each gallon of water. Or disinfect the cars with a jet of steam under a pressure of not less tlian 50 pounds to the square inch. Cattle from the Kcyiublic oi ^lexico may be admitted into the United States to remain l)ciow said Federal quarantine line after inspection according to law, but said cattle shall not be permitted to cross said quarantine line otherwise than l)v rail for immediate slaughter, except by special permit from the inspectors of the Bu- reau of Animal Industry issued according to the regulations of the said Bureau, and no permit shall be issued except for cattle free from splenetic or Texas fever, or from contact therewith during the three months preceding the issuance of said permit, and which have been grazed in a locality free from infection of such fever. The losses which formerlv occurred to the owners of susceptible cattle, both in the interstate and export trade, by the contraction of this disease from exposure in unclean and infected cars and pens, and by means of the manure carried in unclean cars from place to place, became a matter of grave and serious concern to the cattle industr\" of the United States until this danger was removed by the inspection of this Department. It is absolutely essential, there- fore, that this cattle industry should continue to be protected as fat as possible by separating the dangerous cattle and by the adoption of efficient methods of disinfection. In.spectors will be instructed to sec that disinfection is properly done, and it is expected that transportation companies will promptly put into operation the above methods. All prior orders conflicting herewith are hercbv revoked. J. Sterling Morton, Secretary. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 137 Special Order Modifying Quarantine Line for the State of Virginia.

I. Whenever it shall come to the knowledge of the Chief r)f the Bureau of Animal Industry of the Department of Agriculture that there exists, or there is good cause to believe there exists, any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease among domestic 144 UNITED STATES animals in any part of tlic United States, and he believes there is danger of such disease spreading to other States or Territories, he shall at once direct an inspector to make an investigation as to the existence of said disease. 2. Said inspector shall at once proceed to the locality where said disease is believed to exist and make an examination of the animals said to be affected with disease, and report the resnlt of such examination to the Chief of tlie bureau of Animal Industrw 3. Should the mspector on sucii in\'estig"ation hnd that a con- tagious, infectious, or comniunic.iljle disease exists among the animals examined, and especialh- pleuro-pneim:< mia. he shall direct the temprirar\' quarantine of said animals and the herds among which they are, and ado])t such sanitary measures as may be necessary to prevent the spi'cad of the disease, and report liis action to tlie Chief of the liurcau. He will further notify in writing the owner or owners, or person or persons in charge of such animal or animals, of the existence of the ci mt.'igii lus disease, and that said animal or ariimals have been placed in i|uarantine, and warn him or them from mo\'ing said animal or animals under penalty of sections 6 and 7 of the act of Congress approved May 29, 18S4. 4. When the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry is satisfied of the existence of any contagious disease among domestic animals in any locality of the United w^tates, and especially of pleuro- pneumonia, and that there is danger of said disease spreading to other States or Territories, he will report the same to the Commis- sioner of Agriculture, whi> will (|uarantine said locality in the mode and manner as provided in rule 12. Tie shall cause a thor- ough examination of all animals of the kind diseased in said locality, and all such animals found diseased he will cause to be slaughtered. He shall establish a quarantine for a period of not less than ninety ria;-, s of all animals that have come in contact vitli diseased animals, or have been r)n premises or in l)Uildpigs on or in which diseased animals have been, or h.-ive been in anv wav expose.! to disease: and shall make and enforce all such sanitarv regulations as the exigencies of the case mav rec|nire. He will cause to be disinfected in such manner as lie deems best all slrcds, corrals, }'ards, barns, and buildings in which diseased animals have been, and until such prenn'ses and buildings have been ^o disin- fected and declared free from contagion b\- a certificate in writing signed by an inspector of the Bureau of ;\ninial Industrv, no animal or animals shall be permitted to go upon ur into said premises and buildings. Should, however, anv animal or animals be put upon said premises or into said buildings in violation of this rule and regulation, then such animal or animals shall be placed in quaran- tine for a period of not less than ninety days, and said premises or buildings be again disinfected.

All animals quarantined by order of the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry shall have a chain fastened with a numbered DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 145 lock fjlaced around their horns, or, in case of liornlcbs animals, placed around their necks; and a record will be kept showing tlie number of lock placed upon each animal, name and character of animal and marks of identification, name of owner, localit\', and date of quarantine. The Chief of tlie Bureau, liowevcr, maA',' in his discretion, in place of chaining said animals, cause the animal> to be branded in such manner as he may designate, or may place a guard over the same. 6. All animals cpiarantined will Ix- deemed and considered as "affected with contagious disease," and an}- person or persons moving said quarantined animals from the infected district will be prosecuted under sections 6 and 7 of tlie act of Congress establish- ing the Bureau of Animal Industr_\- approved May 2y, 1884. 7. Whenever in the judgment of the Chief of the Bureau oi Animal Industr_\- it Ijecomes necessary to kill animals that have l)een exposed to the contagious disease known as pleuro-pneu- monia, in order to prevent the spread of said disease from one State or Territory to another, he shall cause the same to be slaugh- tered. 8. Allanimals diseased with pleuro-pneumonia, and all animals exposed to pleuro-pneumonia, that have been condenmed to be slaughtered, shall be first appraised as to their value at the time of their couflenmation. Said appraisement shall be made in the mode and manner provided for by the law of the .State in which they are located, and such compensation on their appraised value will be paid as is provided for by the law of such State. In case such State has no law for the appraisement of the value of animals diseased with pleuro-pneumonia, or that have been exposed to jjleuro-pneumonia, or either, then the Chief of the Bureau of Ani- mal Industry shall direct an inspector of the Bureau to convene a board of appraisers to crmsist of three members, one of whom said inspector shall appoint, one to be appointed by the owner of the animal or animals condemned, and these two will appoint the third: in case the said owner shall neglect or refuse to name an appraiser, then by two appraisers to be appointed by said inspector. This board will appraise the value of the animals condemned^ and certify to the same in writing under oath, and the amount so fixed In- said board shall be paid to the owner of the animals condemned. Should the owner of the animals condemned be dissatisfied with the appraisement, he may appeal from said appraisement to the Circuit Court of the United States, and the amount found by said court to be the value of the condemned animals will be paid to the ovvuer. g. Whenever it is deemed necessary by the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry to supervise and inspect any of the lines of transportation operating in the United States that do business in and through more than one State or connect with lines doing- business in and through other States, and the boats, cars, and stock yards in connection With the same, he shall designate suitable inspectors for that purpose, and make all necessary regulations for 146 UNITED STATES the quaraiuine and disinfection of all stock )ards, cars, boats, and ■jther vehicles of transportation in which have been, or m which have been transported, animals affected with a contagious disease or suspected to have been affected with such a disease. Such cars and other vehicles of transportation declared in quarantine sliall not be again used to transport, store, or shelter aniniajs or merchaiidisc until certified to be free of contagion by a certihcate signed by the inspector supervising their disinfection, and^ sucli stock yards shall not again have animals placed in them until like- wise declared free of contagion. 10. All quarantined stock, premises, and buildings will be under the charge and supervision of an inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industrf, and shall be in no case free from quarantine until so ordered by the Chief of the Bureau. 11. Whenever aii_\- inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry is 5irevented or obstructed or interfered with in the discharge o: his duty in the examining of animals suspected to have a contagious disease, or in placing under quarantine animals or premises, or in disinfecting them, he will report the same to the Chief of the Bureau. He will also call upon the sheriff or other police authori- ties of the locality where said obstruction or interference occurs for aid and protection in the performing of his duty. .Should such sheriff or police authorities neglect or refuse to render such aid and p-otection he will then apply to the United States marshal of said district for the necessary force and assistance needed to protect him in the carrying out of the duties imposed upon him by these lules and regulations and the provisions of the law by authority of which they are made. He will also file with the United States District Attorney infi>rmation of all the facts connected with such obstruction and interference, and the names of the partv or parties causing the same. 12. Should from any cause the Chief of the Bureau of Animal Industry find that it is impossible to enforce these rules and regula- tions in any State, and that in consequence thereof there is great danger that pleuro-pncumonia will spread from said State to other ."Mates and Territories, he will report the same to the Commissioner of Agriculture. Thereupon the Commissioner of Agriculture, if he believes the exigency of the case requires it, willdeclare said State, in which pleuro-pneumonia exists and in which it is impos- sible to carry out these rules and regulations, to be quarantined against the exportation of animals of the kind diseased to any other State, Territory, or foreign country. Said order of the Commis- sioner declaring tlu' (|uaraiitiiie of a State will fie published in at least two papers in said State once a week during the existence of said quarantine, and in such other papers as lie ma\- select.

June 19, 1896. AVhereas section 2 of the act of Congress, approved March 3, 1S91, as amended in the act approved March 2, 1895, provides as follows: "Sfx. 2. That the Secretary of Agriculture shall also cause to be made a careful inspection of all live catile, the meat of which, fresh, salted, canned, corned, packed, cured, or otherwise prepared, is intended for exportation to any foreign country, at such times and places, and in such manner as he may think proper, with a view to ascertain whether said cattle are free from disease, and their meat sound and wholesome, and may appoint inspectors who shall be authorized to give an official certificate clearly stating the condi- tion in which such cattle and meat are found, and no clearance shall he giA'cn to any vessel having on board anv fresh, salted, canned, corned, or packed beef being the meat of cattle killed after the passage of this act for exportation to and sale in a foreign country from any port in the United States luitil the owner or shipper shall obtain from an inspector appointed under the pro\-ision of this act a certificate that said cattle were free from disease, and that their meat is sound and wholesome." And whereas it has liecn found impossiljlc to establish inspection pric'r to Julv i, 1896, at all points where beef is prepared and packed for the export trade, and Whereas legislation is pending modifying the requirements for certificates witli all exported beef, It is ordered. That the requirement of certificates sliall be post- poned until March 15, 1897. All orders and regulations of this Department inconsistent witli this order are hercl)\' revoked. The greater part of the exported beef is now inspected and will be certified, and any Government desiring to secure inspected hcef excusively may do so by making the proper regulations. It is not, however, deemed practicable to exclude from exportation to countries which giadl\- accept it the beef whicli the retai! butchers find unsalable because it is cut from inferior ]-iortions of the carcass. Much of this beef has been inspected, but there is no wa}- of identif^•ing it after the carcass has been cut. As a consider- able number of firms collect these special cuts from the retailers and pack them for exportation, to enforce the statute as it stands would destrov their business. An amendment to the law which j6o acts of congress. will avoid this uridt-sirable result has been favorabl_y reported front tlie proper committee in eacli brancli of tlie Congress, and 1 deem It my dut)' to postpone the order requiring' certificates until tliis bill has been duly considered and acted upon by the law-making pLwer of the ( iDvernment.

There shall be three Stewards of the meeting; one appointed by the Jockey Club, one by the Racing Association at whose track the meeting shall take place and a third who shall be elected by the two Stewards aforesaid from the members of the Jockey Club. Each SteA\ard ma}' ajij^oint a deputy at any time, or if tliere be fnit one Steward present, he shall, in case of necessity, appoint one or more ])ersons to act with him. If none of the Stewards are present, the offi- cers of the Association owning tlie course shall request two or more pei'- sons to act during the absence of such Stewards.

Tills description of the horse must be repeated in every entry until a description of him with a name has been published in tlie programme or list of entries of a recognized Association. In every entry after such publication his name and age will be suili- cient. If a horse be entered with a name for the first time in several races, closing at the same place on the same day the description need not be added in more than one of such entries. Whenever the name of a horse which has run in any country lias been changed, his old name as well as his new name or description must be given until he has run three times over the course of a i-ecog-nized Asso- ciation. PBODUCE KAOES. In making an entr_^' for a Troduce Race tlie produce is entered by specifying the dam and sire or sires. If the jiroduce of a mare is dropped before the 1st of .January, or if there is no prodiice, or if the produce is dead when dropped, or if twins are dropped, the entry of such mare is void. In Produce Eaces, allowances for the produce of untried horses must be claimed before the time of closing, and are not lost bj^ subsequent winnings. An untried horse is one whose produce in any country arc maidens at the time of closing. Ill all produce stakes the nominator must register witli tlie Cleric of the Course where the horse is engaged within twelve months after the closing of such stake the sex, name if any, color and all marks, if any, as may distinguish it.

All statements of partnership, sales with conting'encies. leases or ar- rangements, shall declare to whom winnings are payable and with whom the power of entry or declaration of forfeit rests, and shall be filed and posted in the office of the Secretary of the Ste^^'ards of the Jockey Club and published in the liacing Calendar, but the real names of persons who have registered an assumed name shall not be ilisclosed. The signature of each party to a partnership is required. In cases of emergency, authority to sig'n declarations of partnerships may be given to the Secretary of the Stewards of the Jockey Club by telegraph, but must be promptly confirmed in writing. An owner may assume name, which must be registered annually with the Secretary of the Stewards of the Jockey Club, and such assumed name must be so registered at least 24 hours Jiefore the same is used. An oivner cannot have more than one assumed name, nor can he use 20O RULES OF RACING, his real name in any subscription or entry so long as he has an assumed name registered. An assumed name cannot be registered which is the real name of any o^vner of race horses, or which has already been registered, except that in the event of the death of the owner the name maj- be reissued to sur- viving partners or successors in interest. An assumed name cannot be ehang'ed during the cnlendaj' year of its registration, but it may be abandoned at any time and the real name or names substituted in all entries or sxibscriptions. In cases hereinafter named, any accidental error or violation of the rules in the entry of a horse may be corrected on the payment of a fine of $10 for each entry at any time before the number of the horse is ex- hibited for that race, or, in a handicap, before the weights are announced. 1. Incorrect or imperfect description, provided the identity of the horse is satisfactoi'ilj' established. 2. Pantry \vithout partnership for other .joint interests existing at the time of entry having been registered. If the abo-i e corrections be not made, or the horse struck out, within reasonable time after the owner or his authorized agent has been offi- cially notified of the error, or if a horse nins without the required correc- tion having been made, the Stewards of the Jockey Club may punish by fines or otherwise any persons responsiljle for such errors. Omission to register partnerships or other joint interests existing at the time of the race, will render the horse liable to disqualification. On the payinent of the fine the enti-y of a horse may within a like time be omitted from a race for ■\\hich it was not qualified, e. g., a colt for a filly stakes, but no other horse may be substituted. ^Then an hour for closing is stated, entries en- declarations of forfeit for sweepstakes cannot be received afterward. If the hour is not stated, they may be mailed or telegraphed up to mid- night of the (l.-iy of closing, but if miscarriage is alleged, satisfactory proof of the mailing or telegraphing must be ]}resented within reasona- Ijle time, or the entry or declaration of forfeit shall not be received. In the absence of notice to the contrary, entries and declaration of for- feit happening on the eve of and during a race meeting close at the office of the Clerk of the Course at the Course. A person who subscribes to a s\veepstakes before the time fixed for naming can transfer the right of entry under one or more of his sub- scriptions. An entry ot a hin-se in a swee|)stukes is a suljseription to the sweep- stakes. A subscription cannot be witlnU-awn, Init iiefore the time of closing an entry of a horse in any race may be corrected or another horse may be substituted. Sidjscriptions and all (uitries (jr rights of entry under them become void on the death of the sul)seriber, except when a" horse is sold with the engagement and transfer ))y the subscriber, and acknowledgment of liabdity by the purchaser, both in writing, having been delivered to the Clerk of the Course previous to the death of the subscriber, or except when entries under his subscription have been previously made by the transferee of a right of entry. But this rule shall not app'ly to I'roduce Stakes and lo stakes to which any nominations of foals are made. If either party to a match die, the matcdi is olT.

The notification of the death of a hoi'se shall be equivalent to ,\. de- claration of forfeit. When a horse is sold with his eng'agenients or any ]jart of them, the seller cannot strike the horse out of any of sneli engagements, but on de- fault of the purchaser, remains liable for the amount of the forfeit in each. In all cases of sale by private treaty, the ^\ritten acknowledgmeiit of both parties that the horse was sold with engagements is necessary to prove the fact, but when the horse is sold by public auction or claimed ■out of a selling' race, the advertised, conditions of either sale or race are sullicient evidence. If certain engagements only be specified, those only are sold witli the horse. Sales to parties debari'ed froin racing 071 race-courses under the au- thority of the Jockey Club shall have the effect of a declaration as if made on the declaring date next succeeding the sale; the forfeits then due must be paid by the vendor, wdio shall give immediate notice of such sale to the Secretary or Clerk of the Course where the race is to be run. PAET IX. EXTIIANCE M0?;EY, FORFEITS, STAKES, ETC.

JI., of the day previous to the race, or if there l)e races at the ■Course on that day, within 30 minutes after the last race. No entry for a purse shall be received after the time for closing. Entrance money for a purse is not returned on the death of a horse or Ills failure to start for any cause whatever. Entries in purses are not void on the death of the nominator. Entrance monej', forfeits, stakes and arrears must be paid in cash (if so reqiiired) to the Clerk of the Course, and entrance money must be paid at the time of entry, except entrance money for free handicap purses. The nominator is liable as « ell as every partner in the horse, at the time of nomination, and also any purchaser of the horse whose accept- ance of the engag-ement has been lodged with the Clerk of the Course, and accepted by the Stewards of the .lockey Club for the entrance money and stake forfeit. A person making a ^\rong nomination is equally liable. Every horse shall be considered as having started and be liable for whatever is due for so doing, when its jockey has been weighed and its number displayed. A subscriber to a sweepstakes is liable for the stake or forfeit, but if he transfer the right of entry to any other person he is lialjle only in case of default by the transferee. A person making an entry under another person's subscription when forfeit must be declared by a particular time shall, if he do not declare forfeit by that time, be considered to have taken the engagement upon Iiimself, "and it shall be transferred to his name. A jockey shall not be weighed out for any race unless there have been previously paid : 1. Any stake, forfeit or entrance money payable hy the owner or nominator in respect to that race. 3. All arrears due from any person for such horse, or due for the same or any other horse from any person by whom such horse is wholly or partly owned, or in whose name or under whose subscriptions he is ■entered. 3.

An iinpaifl fuileit list specifying- all arrears by giving- tlie names of tlie jiersous from whom and to whom they are due, the name and descrip- tion of the horse and the race, or other explanatory particulars, shall be posted in the ollice of the Clerk of the Conrse, and filed with the Stewards of the Jockey Club. The real name of every person in arrears, either directly or through any interest in a horse, either as nominator, partner or Iransferee, shall be stated in such forfeit list, a7Kl the Stewards of the Jockey Club may at any time caiise its publication in the Kacing- Cal- endar. The forfeit list shall include all arrears due on the courses of recog- nized associations, which shall be placed there on official information, or by any person « ho shall have given notice of an arrear in writing to the Secretarv of the Stewards of the Jockey Club and to the person in- debted or his representative, and shall have established his claim to the satisfaction of the Stewards of the Jockey Club. Arrears which have been so posted or published must be paid directly into the oflice of the Jockey Club, with fees according to rule, and until so paid shall not be removed from list. ^Vh('re a person is prevented by these rules from entering- or starting a horse for any race, without jjaying arrears, for which he would not otlierwise be liable, he may, by paying- the same, enter or start the horse and i)lace the arrears on the forfeit list as due to himself, and in a like manner the seller of a horse with engagements may, if compelled to pay tliem by the purchaser's default, place the amount on the forfeit list, as due form the purchaser to himself. So hjng as the luime of a person is in tlie forfeit list, no horse can be entered by him or under his subcription for any race, whether acting as an agent or otherwise, and no horse which has been entered by him or in his name or under his subscription, or of which he is or was at the time of entrjr wholly or partl_v the owjier, can run for any race, and no liorse which shall be proved to the satisfaction of the Stewards to be directly or indirectlj' under the care, management or superintendence of a, ])erson who is in default shall be qualified to be entered or run for any race, and so long- as any horse is in the forfeit list such horse shall not be qualified to be entered or run for any race. But the Stewards of the Jockey Club may confirm entries where default is accidental or unintentional and prompt payment is made. Tills rule shall not apply to the entry for a produce stake of mares and stallions which are in the forfeit list. In produce races or races for which nominations of foals are made, the nominator shall be released from further liability by filing prior to the date of the first declaration stated in the conditions of the race, an accepted transfer of the entry, acconipaiiicd with all forfeits to date of such declaration. If a horse which, or the owner of which, is in the Forfeit List, be entered for any race in contravention of these Tuiles, the noiiiiiiato'r of such horse may be fined $200. TART XI.

The other horses shall be deemed to have been beaten, but they shall be entitled to their places (if any) as if the race had been finally determined the first time. :_;. If, in running a dead heat off, either horse should be disqualified, it shall be decided by the Stewards whether the disqualification shall extend to the loss of the second place, and if so the horse that originally ran third shall be entitled to the second place. 4. In running- off a dead heat the rules as to declarations of over- weight, weighing' out and weighing in shall apply, but the same jockeys need not ride. The same weig'ht, including' overweight, shall be carried in running oft the dead heat as was carried in the original race. 268 RULES OF RACING, .'). In running- off a dead heat the horses shall take the same relative position at the starting' post as they did in the original race. fi. In case of a dead heat the o^vllers or tlieir a\ithorized agents shall declare promptly to the Stewards, after the finish of the heat, whether they intend to run off or divide. AVheji a dead heat is run for second place, and an objection is made to the winner of the race, if such objection be declared valid in time for tlie dead heat to be run off on the day of the race, the Stewards may di- rect it to be run off accordingly; otherwise the horses which ran the dead heat shall divide. If a dead heat be run by two or more horses for second or any lower place in the race, the owners shall divide, subject to the provisions of the last preceding rule. When owners divide they shall divide equally all the moneys and other prizes which any of them could take if the dead heat were run off, but owners cannot divide in a race of heats, or where di\ision would conflict with its conditions. If the dividing- o-\vners cannot agree as to which of them is to have a cup or other prize which cannot be divided, the question shall be deter- mined by lot by the Executive Committee, who shall decide what sum of money shall be paid by the owner who takes such ciip or other indi- visible prize to the other owner or owners. On a dead heat for a match, the match is off". Every horse rimning a dead heat for first ])lace shall be deemed the winner of the race until the dead heat is detennined or the owners agree to divide, and if the owners agree to divide, each horse which divides shall be deemed a winner of the race and be liable to any penalty for the full amount he would ha^e received if he bad won. E\ery horse running a dead heat for second or a lo\ver place shall be liable to any disability attaching to the j-jhicc. I'AET XVllI. SErXIXG R Vf'ES. In selling races which close within forty-eight hours of the race day, no person shall start more than one horse of which he is wholly or partly the owner, or in which he has a contingent interest. All boys who, while under age, have of their own free will and « ith the consent of their parents or guardian, bound themselves to an owner or trainer for a term of not less than three years by a written instrument, <:opy of which has been lodged with the Jockey Club, are permitted dur- ing their apprenticeship to claim a five pound allowance in all selling races, provided no horse carries less than 8-1 lbs. They will be entitled to this allowance for one Near (or 36.0 days) after winning their first race in any country. The allowance of five pounds for apprentices under this rule must be claimed at the time of entry, and be so stated in the entrj\ and the owner shall not be permitted to abandon such allowance, exce])t by con- sent of the Stewards. Every horse running in a selling race shall, if the winner, be liable to be claimed for the selling price by the owner of anv other horse running- in the race, but if it is a condition of the race that the winner shall be sold by auction, the sale shall take place immediately after the race, and the surplus over the selling price shall go one-half'to the second horse and the other half to the race fund, or all to the race fund if no second or third horse be placed. If sold or bought in, the horse shall not leave the place of sale without permission of the Clerk of the Course, and if the horse be not paid for ^vlth^n fifteen minutes, or the price secured to his satisfaction he may direct the horse to be put up a second time, and the purchaser at the first sale shall be responsible for any deficiencv arising from th second and shall be treated as a defaulter until it is paid. JOCKEY CLUE. 269 All other horses starting may be claimed for the selling price, plus the value of the stakes or purse, to the winner, including his own sake or entrance, by the owners of horses running in the race or their authorized agents. 1. Owners of horses placed shall have priority of claim in the order of their pilaces, and if the owners of two or more horses having equal rights claim, they are to draw lots. The owner of the winner has the last claim. 2. No person can claim more than one horse. ■J. Every claim must be made in writing to tlie Clerk of the Course or the Clerk of the Scales not later than a. quarter of an hoar after the winner has passed the scales, and must be accompanied by the ju.ircha.se monejr if required. The price of every horse claimed must be paid tO' the Clerk of the Course, and an order given by him for the deliverjr of the horse. In the case of a horse being claimed, if the price be not paid within fifteen minutes after the claim is made, the claimant forfeits his right, but the owner may insist on the claimant taking and paying for the horse, and if he refuse or neglect to do so, he shall be treated as a de- faulter in re-spect of the price. If a horse walk over, or there be no second horse for the selling race, the winner is still liable to be sold, but he shall receive all the money offered by the conditions of the race to the winner, and any snrpbis from the sale shall go to the race fund. The following special provisions apply to claiming and selling races: 1. In case of a dead heat, the time for claiming or selling is postponed until the dead heat is run off. In case of a division, each of the horses dividing is a winner for the purposes of the rules relating to claiming and selling, and if an auction race, both shall be put to auction, and any surplus shall be divided, half to go between those horses and half to the Association. 2. If an objection to the winner of an auction race be notdecided before the time for selling, the horse subsequently adjudged to be the winner shall be put up at auction, and any surplus from the sale of either shall be treated as surplus from the sale of the winner, but liability to be sold shall end with the day of the race. 3. If an objection to a. horse which has been claimed be declared valid, the claimant may, within such time as the Stewards consider reasonable, reject or return the horse and place on the forfeit list any default by the owner in repayment of the price. 4. Any person refusing to deliver a horse bought or claimed in a sell- ing- race' shall be ruled off, and the horse shall be disqualified for all races. .5. Any jierson failing to paj' for a horse bought or claimed in a selling' race may be ruled off. 6. Any person who shall attempt to pre-^eut another person from bid- ding- on the winner of a selling race or claiming any horse in such race, or demand any portion of the surplus from the owners of horses which ai-e entitled to it, or any owner running in selling races who may make any agreement for the protection of each other's horses in contravention of these rules shall be ruled off. In all other races with selling conditions in which horses may be entered, or may be run not to be sold, only such horses as run to be sold shall be liable to be sold or claimed, and with this exception the forego- ing rules relating to selling races shall apply.

"Horse" includes mare, gelding, colt or filly. The "age" of ahorse is reckoned as Ijeginniug on the 1ivst of .laniiary, in the year in which it is foaled. A "maiden" horse is one that has never won a race on the fiat, otlier than a match or private sweepstakes, in any country. Any contest for "purse," "stake," premium or wager for money, or involving admission fees, on any course, and in the jn-eseuee of a .Judge or Judges, shall constitute a race. A "purse" is a race for money or other prize for which tlie entrance money, if anj% must be ]iaid and everv other condition coui))lierson or per- sons owning the horse.

A person entering a horse thereby becomes liable for the entrance mo7iey, stake, or forfeit. Entries in purses are not void by the death of the nominator. Entrance' money for a purse is not returned on the death of a horse, or his failure to start for any cause whatever. A "starter" in a race must pay its whole stake or entrance, but the Judg-es may, on account of accident or unforeseen casualty, excuse it from starting, and shall, in such event, grant additional time before the race. A subscriber to a sweepstakes is liable for the stake or forfeit. If he transfers an entry or right of entry therein to another person he and the transferee shall both be liable, but when the original subscriber shall pay such stake or forfeit, he shall be entitled to a forfeit order against the transferee.

When a horse wins a race of heats by distancing the field in the first heat, bets "to win" mvist be paid and all bets for a place shall be de- clared ofi'. and if he wins by distancing the field in a subsequent heat the bets for a place shall be paid as the horses finished in the ne.xt )ire- ceding heat, but a horse that won any heat shall be better than one that nas not won a heat. Unless agreed to the contrary, all bets between designated horses in a race are void if neither of them are placed by the Judges. Except in a race of heats, bets between designated horses, not starting- in the sticceeding heat, shall be determined hy their places in their last heat, and bets between such horses and a horse starting in a subsef|uent heat ari' won by the latter, even though he be distanced afterward. Confirmed bets can not be ofE, except by mutual consent or by failure- to make stakes at the time and place which may have been agreed upon, in which ease it is optional with a bettor not in defatilt to declare then anil there that the bets stand. If at the time sj^ecified for making stakes the horse or horses backed are dead, or struck out of the engage- ment, and a start has not been stipulated, the bettor against them need 300 AMERICAN TURF CONGRESS. not, while the backer must, deposit a stake. If there is no stipulation when the bet is made for the deposit of stakes, they can not be demanded afterward. All bets on matches and private sweepstakes, depending Ijetween any two horses, are void if those horses become the property of the same person or his confederates subsequent to the bets being made. If any bet shall be made by signal or indication after the race has been determined, such bets shall be considered fraudulent and void. The person who lays the odds has a right to choose a horse or the field ; when a person has chosen a liorse the field is what starts against him. When a certain number of horses are taken against the field, and among them are horses struck out of the engagement, or disqualified, or even never engaged, the bet, nevertheless, stands, so long as there remains one horse which is qualified to start at the time the bet is made. If odds are laid without mentiouijig the horse before the race is over, the bet must be determined l)y the state of the odds at the time of mak- ing it. When a race is postponed, all the bets must stand, but if the slightest difference in the terms of the arrangement Is nnule, all bets before the alteration are void. Bets made on horses winning any number of races within the year shall l)e understood as meaning between the 1st of .lanuary, and the 31st of December, both inclusive. If a bet be made between two lun-ses with a forfeit attixed — say $100 half forfeit — and both horses start, either ]jar1y may declare forfeit; and the person making- such a declaration would pay $50 if the other horse was placed in the race, but would receive nothing in the event of his horse being placed. iloney given to have a bet laid shall not be retui-ned, thougli the race be not run. Slatches and bets ai-e void oji the decease of cither party before the match or bet is determined. Bets on a match for which a dead heat is run are Aoid; and if the match is rnn over again instanter, it is considered a fresh engagement. If a match is run by mistake after the prinei|)als have comjjromised, it does not efl'ect the betting or the result. ^Vlii'u a, horse runs a dead heat for u jiurse or sweepstakes, and the dead licat, for any cause, is not luu off on the same day, all bets between such horses or between either of them and the field must be settled by the money betted being put together and divided between the parties. If the dead heat be the first event of a double bet between either of tlie Inu'ses making it and the field, the bet is void, unless one horse received above moiety, which would constitute him a winner in a double event. If the dead heat be the first event of a double bet between the horses makioL; it, the bet is void, unless the division -w as unequal, in \vhieh case a horse receiving a larg'er propoi'tion would, in a double event, be con- sidered as better place in a race than one receiving a snuiller sum. If a bet is made on one of the horses that ran the dead heat against a lieaten horse, he who baelced the horse that ran the dead heat wins the bet. Associations running inidei' these rides will endeavor to enforce pay- ment of bets, but they shall take no cognizance of bets in which the money has not been put up.

The National Trotting- Association was organized as a voluntary asso- ciation, in Februarj', 1870, under the name of the "National Association for the Promotion of the Interests of the American Ti'otting Turf," which name was changed for the present one at the biennial meeting or Congress of iUembers, held in February in 1878; and, in 1&84, the organi- zation became incorporated under the charter then procured. The inaugurated meeting- (in 1870) was composed of delegates repre- senting the leading trotting parks of the country assembled upon the invitation of the Narragansett Park Association, of Providence, Rhode Island. That imitation was issued in the fall of 1809, and referring to the abuses which had become prevalent at trotting- meetings, proposed the formation of a "National Trotting Association," and the establish- ment of a code of rules for the government of all, as the surest means of correcting- those abuses, and of elevating and protecting- the standing and character of the American Trotting Turf. That invitation received the endorsement and support of the press throughout the country, and resulted in an earnest and enthusiastic meeting, which, during- a three- days' session, framed and adojited a code of laws, elected officers, and ac- complished our initial organization. 30S THE XATIOXAL TROTTING ASSOCIATION. The first President of the Association was Colonel Amasa Sprague, of Ehode Island, who resig'ned the office at the Congress of 1876, when he was succeeded by Colonel C. W. Woolley, of Cincinnati, Ohio; then, upon the resignation of the latter, the Congress of 1880, elected to the office Judge James Grant, of Davenport, Iowa, ^^ho held the ofliee until Feb- ruary 8, 1888; when, upon his declining a re-election, Major P. 1'. John- ston, of Lexington, Ky., the present incumbent, ^^ as elected to tlie posi- tion. The first Secretary was George PI. Smith, of Providence, E. I. (now deceased), ^^■ho in August, 1872, was succeeded by D. P. Longstreet also of Providence, who resigned in July, 1874, when Thomas J. Vail, of Hart- ford, Conn., was chosen. Mr. Vail held the ofliee for thirteen j-ears, and upon his resignation, in May, 1S87, M. ".\I. Morse of Paw Paw, 111., was ap- pointed. He resigned in December, 1895, and W. H. Goeher of Cleveland, 0., the present Secretary, was elected. Under the first code, annual meetings of the members were held until 1874, when an amendment was adopted, establishing biennial meetings. At these meetings (or Congresses), the Bj'-Laws and Rules are revised and new ones enacted, and the President and Vice-Presidents and district members of the Board of Appeals are chosen — the Secretary and Treas- urer being appointed by the Board of Eeview. Until 1874 the Congress was held on the first Wednesday in Pebruarjr, but under an amendment of tliat year it has since been held on the second Wednesday of February in alternate years. A full report of the affairs of the Association, prepared by the Secre- tary, is printed and submitted to each Congress, copies of which are sup- plied wlien recjnested. That report does not include cases before the Board of Appeals, or Board of Review, all such cases being officially re- ported from time to time, and imlolished in the turf journals of the country. JtT;5[BERSTTIP The perso7is named as corporators in the charter of the Association do not, either of them, as such corporators, represent any trotting course, l5ut the other members thus far admitted have consisted of associations, either voluntary or corporate, and of persons who were proprietors or lessees, each representing a trotting course, or one or more meetings to be held on a trotting course. Those memberships which represent trotting courses are subject to renewal annually, upon the paj^ment of annual fees, which are regulated by the Board of Review; and commenc- ing «ith fifty-one in the first year, they had so increased as to include fi\e hundred and seventy-five when the Congress met in 1896, as the high- est number of such active members in one season, representing nearly as many separate localities. While the Association is national in name and object, the rules do not forbid the enrollment of foreign members, and in Isij:,, it had forty located in the Dominion of Canada, while at present there is also one located at Jlelboiirne, Australia. ooyKitxii E^T. Xotwithstnuding file legal power and authority conferred on the \s- sociation thi-ough the Charter, it «ill doubtless in the future as in the past, find )ts .strength and inHuenee to arise mainly fr,„n the' voluntary approval and co-operation of its members. The Bv-La\x s and Rules ini- proved after experience, are noAV made more forcible throuo-h their re- cognition by the Charter. The executive department is full of care responsibility and labor. The most important feature in the govern- ineut^established under the laws of the Association is the organization of a board having the general management and control of the^aftairs of the As.soc.ation. Avith the authority to review the decisions and orders of associate members and their judges. This board is designated as the Board ot Appeals. It consists of five District Boards and a Board of THE NATIONAL TROTTING ASSOCIATION. 309 lieview, each District Board being entitled to tliree members, making not more than fifteen members for all the districts, besides the President and Vice-Presidents, ^vho are ex-oitlcio members. Each District Board has jurisdiction and certain powers limited to its own district. For each District Board a Chairman is designated by the President, and may be changed from time to time, so as to cause rotation of the office when practicable. These five chairmen constitute the Board of Review, which represents the five districts, and is made the legal substitute for and representative of the whole Board of Appeals, acting with the same authority and jurisdiction as if it were the full board, including original and appellate jurisdiction in all matters that shall arise in either dis- tricts «ith members and their judges and exhibitors, and i)ower to revicH' the action of the District Board. Until 1&7-1 the Board of Appeals was a single body of nine members chosen from any part of the country, the President being an ex-officio member. In 1874 the number was in- creased to twelve members, besides the President; and in 187 6 the num- ber was increased to sixteen members beside the President and two Vice-Presidents, who were made ex-officio members. In the latter year the States were divided into four judicial districts, four members of the board being assigned to each district for trial of questions arising therein, with a right of appeal from their decisions to the full board, lu 1878, the board and districts were reconstructed, and the present system was established. The powers and duties of these several Boards appear in the By-Laws and Rules, especiallj' in By-Law IX. W. II. GocHER, Secret II nj. Hartfoed, Cokx., February 12, 189(5.

Agents will be expected to thoroughly familiarize themselves with the following, and will take particular care to acquaint consignors, or their agents, with the recpiirements of the Company before accepting Live Stock for shipment. Live Stock will be taken at the reduced rates fixed in the tariff only when a Uniform Live Stock Contract is executed by the station agent and the shipjjer, and when the release on the back of said contract is executed by man or men who are to accompany said live stock. If shipper refuses to execute a Uniform Live Stock Contract, the live stock will be charged twenty (20) per cent, higher than the reduced rates specified herein; provided, that in no case shall such higher charge be less than one (1) cent per one hundred pounds. Shipments of Live Stock must be consigned direct to the party or par- ties to whom same is to be delivered at destination, and will not be received for transportation when consigned "to order of ," or "notify ■' The rates and classification of Live Stoclv as given in this tariff are based upon the following maximum valuations: If Cattle or Cows, not exceeding $75 each.

Neither will the Company be responsible for any loss or damage occurring by the refusal, failure or inability of a connecting line to receive and for- ward the stock after tender of delivery. When stock belonging- to two or more persons, or when consigned to different parties, is loaded into tlie same car, or when loaded into a way car, a distinguishing marJf should appear upon each head of stock. A tag, securely fastened to the halter, will be sufficient for horses or mules. Upon cattle or small stock, one or moi'e initial letters should be marked upon the sides of eacli head of stock. Upon cahes, the marks should be clipped or shaved. Corresponding- initials should ))e placed opposite the name of consignee on the M-ay-ljill or manifest, so as to insure correct and prompt delivei-y at point of destination. Fancy Small Stock, requiring- special care, should be in crates, boxes or cages; and agents will recommend owners to forward such by the regular Express line, which has agents in charge to care for them (see classification of Animals or Small Stock, Alive, in crates, boxes or cages). It should be understood, in receiving- Live Stock of any description for transportation, that the actual delivery does not commence until the 354 TRAXSPORTATION OF ANIMALS stock has been jilacfd in the car, and the responsibility of the Tlailroad Companj' shall cea^c upon the delivery of car at station to ivhicli coii- sig'iied; the consignor and consignee to load and unload the same, with such reasonable assistance from agents of the Companj' as they can offer at point of shipment and destination. Animals known to be vicious, or so spirited that they cannot safely be placed along'side of other stock, and mares with colts alongside, ^^ ill not be received unless a Uniform Live Stock Contract is executed. Tlie Railroad Company does not assume any risks from the acts of the aninuils thenisehes, or to each other, such as biting or kicking; such risks must always lie borne by the owner; nor A\ill the Company be accountalile for stock escaping, unless placed in the cai' jjroperly hal- tered; nor will the Company hold itself liable for injury to calves, hogs, or other stock, from sulfocation, exhaustion, heat or cold. Except wlien shipi>ed in a full chartered car, sucking calves accom- panying cows will be charged for in the manner provided for like small stock. The owner or his agent must accompany each consignment of cattle, horses or mules, carloads or less, to care for same, and will be carried free.

The ow'ner or his agent accompanying stock- will lie expected to feed, water and care for same at his own expense. In case of accident or unavoidable delay, because of which it becmes necessary to send Live Stock forward unaccompanied by the owner or his agent, it will be permissible to do so, and if for this or other reasons, feed is furnished for the stock by or through the Railroad Company, a -charge will be made for the same and collected from the consignee upon 'delivery.

It is well for the owners of dogs to con- sult the local law when moving to a new locality, as in many places the license is the only legal proof of the ownership of a dog. NEW YORK CITY. In the Boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn, of New York City, the licensing has been placed under the control of the Society for the P'rcvention of Cruelty to Animals bv the following act; LAWS 1894, CHAl'TER im, As amended by Laws isn").

On the basis of the prices charged for conimcrcial fei-tilizers, the ferti- lizing' value of the manure produced liy the faini animals of the United States last year was upward of $2,000,000,000. Tlie average of each horse is estimated at $27, for each head of cattle $10, for each hog $12, and for each sheep $2. AMOUNT AND VALUE OP MANURE PRODUCED BY DIFFERENT FARM ANI.MALS.

Barnyard manure is a very variable substance, its composition and value dei^ending principally upon (1) age and kind of animal; (2) quantity and quality of food; (.3) proportion of litter; and, (4) method of management and age of manure. ilature animals, neither gaining nor losing weight, excrete practically all the fertilizing constituents consumed in the food. Growing animals and milch cows excrete from 50 to 7.5 per cent of the fertilizing con- stituents of the food; fattening or working' animals from 90 to 95 per cent. As regards the fertilizing value of equal weights of manure in its normal conclition, farm animals probably stand in the following order: Poultry, sheep, pigs, horses, cows. The amounts of fertilizing' constituents in the manure stand in direct relation to those in the food. As regards the value of manure pi-oduced, the concentrated feeding stuffs, such as meat scrap, cotton-seed meal, linseed meal, and wheat bran, stand first, the leguminous plants (clover, peas, etc.) second, the grasses third, cereals (oats, corn, etc.) fourth, and root crops, such as turnips, beets, and mangelwurzels, last. Barnyard manure is a material which rapidly undergoes change. When it is practical to haul the manure from the stalls and pen and spread it on the field at frequent intervals the losses of valuable con- stituents need not be very great, but when (as in winter) the manure must be stored for some time the difficulties of preservation become g'reatly increased. The deterioration of manure results from two chief causes: (1) fer- mentation and (2) weathering' or leaching. The loss from destructive fermentation may be almost entirely prevented by the use of proper absorbents and preservatives, such as superphosphate and Icainite, and esiieciallv by keeping the manure moist and excluding the air.

In the year 1893 Great Britain took 13,707 American horses. In 1894 the same purchaser received from the United SUites 22,866 horses, and in 1895, 34,092. But during the first nine months of the year 1896 there had been .shipped from the United States to England "34,642 head of horses. Shipments by Canada have increased during the same period of time in al>out the same ]iroportion, wliile shipments from the Continent of Europe have fallen off mate7-iall_\ ; so that it may now safely be claimed that the United Kingdom looks to America for all the horse .supply which she once purchased principally from Germany. American horses are now in steady demand for omnibus, street-rail- road, and cab service, and for the use of tradeis ^\■]lo keep drays, vans. AMERICAN liOKSJiS IN ENGLAND. 385 aiul carts for the collection ajul delivery oi' goods. English Iji'eeders are turning their attention cliiefly to hacks, hunters, and heavy draft horses. Large, compactly built, healthy draft iiorses are high in price, with a constant market. The demand for these animals is on account of the omnibuses, cabs, and tinel^s, and those from the United States are growing in favor. Tlie strongest recommendation for American horses is their staying' qualities — their poAvw of ( iidurance. Horses suited to ij-d]) work bring' from $55 to $100. A better class of animals commands readily from $125 to $151), and tin' average pi-ice is not below or above those figures. IJraft horses from the I'liiled Stalesarc in great demand and the trade in this style of animals may greatly de\eloi>, as the American draft horse is regarded as of better action and life than most of the native breeds. During the summer of 1S06, in English markets, these animals have sold at $250 to $280 a head, but they were of first-class quality. The veterinary superintendent nt the city of London comniends the American stock of horses in that market very highly. All horses from the United States and Caiunln :ii-e inspected under the direction of the British Board of Agricnitnrc ni.on tlieir dcbar];ation at any English port, and thus far during the yi'ai- 1 sOr, the sanitary condition of animals landed has been reported very good. 386 ESTiiiATj-:!) xi'iir.ER OF nnRsi-:s axi> mui.ks on fak-MS.
