 of cresol in the finished product up to 50 percent.

 the spread of contagious and infectious diseases of livestock, and for other purposes. 
 (32 Stat. 791.) 
 
 Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of 
 America in Congress assembled, That in order to enable the Secretary of Agriculture to 
 effectually suppress and extirpate contagious pleuropneumonia, foot-and-mouth disease, and 
 
 5 Employees of the Bureau will be informed in Service and Regulatory Announcements,

 other dangerous contagious, infectious, and communicable diseases in cattle and other live- 
 stock, and to prevent the spread of such diseases, the powers conferred on the Secretary of 
 the Treasury by sections four and five of an act entitled "An act for the establishment of a 
 Bureau of Animal Industry, to prevent the exportation of diseased cattle, and to pro- 
 vide means for the suppression and extirpation of pleuropneumonia and other con- 
 tagious diseases among domestic animals ", approved May twenty-ninth, eighteen hundred 
 and eighty-four (twenty-third United States Statutes, thirty-one), are hereby conferred 
 on the Secretary of Agriculture, to be exercised exclusively by him. He is hereby 
 authorized and directed, from time to time, to establish such rules and regulations 
 concerning the exportation and transportation of livestock from any place within the 
 United States where he may have reason to believe such diseases may exist into and 
 through any State or Territory, including the Indian Territory, and into and through 
 the District of Columbia and to foreign countries, as he may deem necessary, and all 
 such rules and regulations shall have the force of law. Whenever any inspector or 
 assistant inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry shall issue a certificate showing 
 that such officer had inspected any cattle or other livestock which were about to be 
 shipped, driven, or transported from such locality to another, as above stated, and had 
 found them free from Texas or splenetic fever infection, pleuropneumonia, foot-and- 
 mouth disease, or any other infectious, contagious, or communicable disease, such animals, 
 so inspected and certified, may be shipped, driven, or transported from such place into 
 and through any State or Territory, including the Indian Territory, and into and through 
 the District of Columbia, or they may be exported from the United States without 
 further inspection or the exaction of fees of any kind, except such as may at any time 
 be ordered or exacted by the Secretary of Agriculture ; and all such animals shall at all 
 times be under the control and supervision of the Bureau of Animal Industry of the 
 Agricultural Department for the purposes of such inspection. 
 
 Sec. 2. That the Secretary of Agriculture shall have authority to make such regula- 
 tions and take such measures as he may deem proper to prevent the introduction or 
 dissemination of the contagion of any contagious, infectious, or communicable disease 
 of animals from a foreign country into the United States or from one State or Territory 
 of the United States or the District of Columbia to another, and to seize, quarantine, 
 and dispose of any hay, straw, forage, or similar material, or any meats, hides, or other 
 animal products coming from an infected foreign country to the United States, or from 
 one State or Territory or the District of Columbia in transit to another State or Territory 
 or the District of Columbia whenever in his judgment such action is advisable in order 
 to guard against the introduction or spread of such contagion. 
 
 Sec. 3. That any person, company, or corporation knowingly violating the provisions 
 of this act or the orders or regulations made in pursuance thereof shall be guilty of a 
 misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be punished by a fine of not less than one hundred 
 dollars nor more than one thousand dollars, or by imprisonment not more than one year, 
 or by both such fine and imprisonment.
