 tions must be observed : 
 
 (a) When any cattle in course of transportation from said area 
 are unloaded above-^north, east, or west of — this line to be fed or 
 watered, or for other purposes, said cattle shall be placed in pens or 
 yards set apart for infected cattle, and no other cattle shall be 
 admitted thereto. 
 
 (b) On unloading said cattle at their points of destination, chutes, 
 alleyways, and pens, sufiiciently isolated, shall be set apart to receive 
 them, and no other cattle shall be admitted to said chutes, pens, and 
 alleyways ; and the regulations relating to the movement of cattle 
 from said area, prescribed by the cattle sanitary officers of the State 
 where unloaded, shall be carefully observed. The cars or boats that 
 
 f 
 
3 
 
 have carried said stock shall be cleansed and disinfected as soon as 
 possible after unloading and before they are again used to transport, 
 store, or shelter animals or merchandise. 
 
 (c) All cars carrying cattle from said area shall bear on both sides 
 printed placards, the letters of which shall be plain and not less than 
 1^ inches in height, to be affixed by the railroad company hauling 
 the same, stating that said cars contain Southern cattle ; and each 
 of the waybills, conductor’s manifests, and bills of lading of said 
 shipments by cars or boats shall have a note plainly written or 
 stamped upon its face with a similar statement. Whenever any 
 cattle have come from said area -and shall be reshipped from any 
 point at which they have been unloaded to other points of destina- 
 tion, the cars carrying said animals shall bear on both sides similar 
 placards with like statements, and the waybills, conductor’s mani- 
 fests, or bills of lading be so stamped. At whatever point these 
 j ' cattle are unloaded they must be placed in separate pens, to which 
 no other cattle shall be admitted. 
 
 {d) No boat having on board cattle from said district shall receive 
 on board cattle from outside of said district. Cattle from said dis- 
 trict shall not be received on board when destined to points outside 
 of said district where proper facilities have not been provided for 
 transferring the said cattle from the landing to the stock yards and 
 slaughterhouses without passing over public highways, unless per- 
 mission for such passing is first obtained from the local authorities. 
 
 (e) The cars and boats used to transport such animals, the chutes, 
 alleyways, and pens used during transportation and at points of des- 
 tination, shall be disinfected in the following manner : 
 
 Remove all litter and manure. This litter and manure may be 
 disinfected by mixing it with lime or saturating it with a 5 per cent 
 solution of 1 00 per cent carbolic acid, or, if not disinfected, it may 
 be stored where no cattle can come in contact with it during the 
 period from February 1 to November 15 of each year. 
 
 Wash the cars and the feeding and watering troughs with water 
 until clean. 
 
 Saturate the entire interior surface of the cars and the fencing, 
 troughs, and chutes of the pens with a mixture made of pounds 
 of lime and one-quarter pound of 100 per cent straw-colored carbolic 
 acid to each gallon of water; or a solution made by dissolving 4 
 ounces of chloride of lime to each gallon of water may be used ; or 
 disinfect the cars with a jet of steam under a pressure of not less 
 than 50 pounds to the square inch. 
 
 5. Cattle from the Republic of Mexico may be admitted into the 
 United States, after inspection according to law, as follows: 
 
 Cattle free from splenetic, or Texas, fever, and from contact there- 
 with during the six months preceding such inspection, and which 
 
4 
 
 have been grazed in a locality free from infection of such fever, may 
 
 be admitted into any part of the United States. If destined to points 
 
 in the noninfected area, a special permit must be obtained from an 
 inspector of the Bureau of Animal Industry, said permit being issued 
 
 according to the regulations of said Bureau. The cattle for which 
 
 said permit is issued must not be driven through the infected area, 
 nor be unloaded in any part thereof except at such a point as may be 
 duly designated by an order issued by this Department. If shipped 
 in infected cars or unloaded in the infected area, except as above 
 stated, they will be subject to the regulations concerning infectious 
 cattle. 
 
 6. Notice is hereby given that cattle infested with the Boophilus 
 annulatus {B. bovis), or Southern cattle tick, disseminate the con- 
 tagion of splenetic. Southern, or Texas fever; therefore cattle 
 originating outside of the district described by this order or amend- 
 ments thereof, and which are infested with the Boophilus annulatus 
 ticks, shall be considered as infectious cattle and shall be subject to 
 the rules and regulations governing the movement of Southern cattle. 
 
 7. Stock-yard companies receiving cattle infested with said ticks, 
 shall place such cattle in the pens set aside for the use of Southern 
 cattle, and transportation companies are required to clean and disin- 
 fect all cars and boats which have contained the same, according to 
 the requirements of this Department. 
 
 8. Inspectors are instructed to see that disinfection is properly 
 done, and to report instances of improper disinfection. It is expected 
 that transportation and stock-yard companies will promptly put into 
 operation the above methods. 
 
 All prior orders conflicting herewith are hereby revoked.

 quarantine line, and obtain the necessary legislation to enforce said 
 last-mentioned line strictly and completely within the boundaries of 
 said State or Territory, and said last above-mentioned line and the 
 measures taken to enforce it are satisfactory to the Secretary of 
 Agriculture, he may, by a special order, temporarily adopt said 
 State or Territorial line. 
 
 Said adoption will apply only to that portion 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 modification 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 line, 
 for above purposes differently located from the above-described line, 
 and shall obtain by legislation the necessary laws to enforce the same 
 completely and strictly, and shall desire a modification 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

 vided. 
 
 4. Cattle from said area may be transported by rail or boat for 
 immediate slaughter, and when so transported the following regula- 
 tions must be observed : 
 
 (a) When any cattle in course of transportation from said area 
 are unloaded above — north, east, or west of — this line to be fed or 
 watered, or for other purposes, said cattle shall be placed in pens or 
 yards set apart for infected cattle, and no other cattle shall be 
 admitted thereto. 
 
 (b) On unloading said cattle at their points of destination, chutes, 
 alleyways, and pens, sufficiently isolated, shall be set apart to receive 
 
3 
 
 them, and no other cattle shall be admitted to said chutes, pens, and 
 alleyways ; and the regulations relating to the movement of cattle 
 from said area, prescribed by the cattle sanitary officers of the State 
 where unloaded, shall be carefully observed. The cars or boats that 
 have carried said stock shall be cleansed and disinfected as soon as 
 possible after unloading and before they are again used to transport, 
 store, or shelter animals or merchandise. 
 
 (c) All cars carrying cattle from said area shall bear printed pla- 
 cards, the letters of which shall be plain and not less than inches 
 in height, to be affixed by the railroad company hauling the same, 
 stating that said cars contain Southern cattle ; and each of the way- 
 bills, conductor’s manifests, and bills of lading of said shipments by 
 cars or boats shall have a note plainly written or stamped upon its 
 face with a similar statement. Whenever any cattle have come 
 from said area and shall be reshipped from any point at which they 
 have been unloaded to other points of destination, the cars carrying- 
 said animals shall bear similar placards with like statements, and 
 the waybills, conductor’s manifests, or bills of lading, be so stamped. 
 At whatever point these cattle are unloaded, they must be placed in 
 separate pens to which no other cattle shall be admitted. 
 
 {d) No boat having on board cattle from said district shall receive 
 on board cattle from outside of said district. Cattle from said dis- 
 trict shall not be received on board when destined to points outside 
 of said district where proper facilities have not been provided for 
 transferring the said cattle from the landing to the stock yards and 
 slaughter houses without passing over public highways, unless per- 
 mission for such passing is first obtained from the local authorities. 
 
 (c) The cars and boats used to transport such animals, the chutes, 
 alleyways, and pens used during transportation and at points of 
 destination, shall be disinfected in the following manner : 
 
 Remove all litter and manure. This litter and manure may be 
 disinfected by mixing it with lime or saturating it with a 5 per cent 
 solution of 100 per cent carbolic acid ; or, if not disinfected, it may 
 be stored where no cattle can come in contact with it during the 
 period from February 1 to November 15 of each year. 
 
 Wash the cars and the feeding and watering troughs with water 
 until clean. 
 
 Saturate the entire interior surface of the cars and the fencing, 
 troughs, and chutes of the pens with a mixture made of 1^ pounds 
 of lime and one-quarter pound of 100 per cent straw-colored carbolic 
 acid to each gallon of water; or a solution made by dissolving 4 
 ounces of chloride of lime to each gallon of water may be used ; or 
 disinfect the cars with a jet of steam under a pressure of not less 
 than 50 pounds to the square inch. 
 
 \

 5. Cattle from the Republic of Mexico may be admitted into the 
 United States, after inspection according to law, as follows : 
 
 Cattle free from splenetic, or Texas, fever, and from contact there- 
 with during the three months preceding such inspection, and which 
 have been grazed in a locality free from infection of such fever, 
 may be admitted into any part of the United States. If destined to 
 points in the non-infected area, a special permit must be obtained 
 from an inspector of the feureau of Animal Industry, said permit 
 being issued according to the regulations of said Bureau ; the cattle 
 for which said permit is issued must not be driven through the 
 infected area, nor be unloaded in any part thereof except at such a 
 point as may be duly designated by an order issued by this Depart- 
 ment ; if shipped in infected cars, or unloaded in the infected area, 
 except as above stated, they will be subject to the regulations con- 
 cerning infectious cattle. 
 
 6. Notice is hereby given that cattle infested with the Boophilus 
 bovis, or Southern cattle tick, disseminate the contagion of splenetic. 
 Southern, or Texas, fever ; therefore cattle originating outside of the 
 district described by this order, or amendments thereof, and which 
 are infested with the Boophilus hovis ticks, shall be considered as 
 infectious cattle and shall be subject to the rules and regulations 
 governing the movement of Southern cattle. 
 
 7. Stock-yard companies receiving cattle infested with said ticks 
 shall place such cattle in the pens set aside for the use of Southern 
 cattle, and transportation companies are required to clean and dis- 
 infect all cars and boats which have contained the same, according 
 to the requirements of this Department. 
 
 8. Inspectors are instructed to see that disinfection is properly 
 done, and to report instances of improper disinfection. It is expected 
 that transportation and stock-yard companies will promptly put into 
 operation the above methods. 
 
 All prior orders conflicting herewith are hereby revoked.
