 RULES. 
 
 (Adopted October 31, 1908.) 
 
 RULES GOVERNING THE ACTION OF ASSISTANT 
 STATE VETERINARIANS. 
 
 Rule 1. When a case of supposed contagious or infec- 
 tious disease among domestic animals comes to the knowl- 
 edge of an Assistant State Veterinarian, he shall at once 
 notify the State Board of Live Stock Commissioners, giv- 
 ing the location of the animals and premises, name and 
 postoffice address of the owner, supposed nature of the 
 disease, and all facts in his possession concerning the 
 case, including the correspondence in relation thereto and 
 the substance of any statements made to him in connec- 
 tion therewith. The secretary shall at once notify the 
 State Veterinarian, who shall, if he be assured that the 
 disease is one which under the law the board is required 
 to investigate, make such investigation or order the same 
 to be made by one of his assistants. And if the disease 
 is found to be a dangerously contagious or a dangerously 
 infectious malady, the veterinarian conducting the investi- 
 gation shall place all diseased animals, and all exposed 
 animals, together with the premises which they occupy, 
 in quarantine, and at once forward a true copy of the 
 Notice of Quarantine, with his endorsement of service 
 thereon, to the secretary of this board, together with an 
 explicit report of all proceedings in the case and any 
 suggestions for future proceedings that he may deem 
 advisable. 
 
 Every quarantine established under this rule will re- 
 main in force until released by order of the board. 
 
 Rule 2. When detailed to make an investigation as 
 provided in rule 1, the veterinarian shall, without unnec- 
 essary delay, proceed to the locality by the shortest and 
 most direct route usually traveled, taking with him a 
 supply of blanks that he may have occasion to use. 
 Should he be unable to respond to the call, he will so 
 notify the State Veterinarian (by wire, if the case seems 
 urgent), who shall thereupon put the case in the hands of 
 another Assistant State Veterinarian. 
 
 Upon arriving at the premises the veterinarian will ex- 
 amine the patient and make his diagnosis. If no con- 
 
6 
 
 tagious or infectious disease exists, inform the owner 
 as to the nature of the disease, giving him such gratui- 
 tous advice in regard to treatment, etc., as may seem 
 proper, and promptly report his findings to the board. 
 
 If it should be a case of glanders, or any other danger- 
 ously contagious or dangerously infectious disease, -the 
 first step to be taken is to place the diseased animal and 
 all exposed animals, and the premises, in quarantine, 
 which *n all cases must be done by serving upon the 
 owner or occupant of the premises a written notice pre- 
 pared upon blanks furnished by the board for that pur- 
 pose. The law provides that notice of quarantine may 
 be given by leaving with the owner or occupant of any 
 premises in person, or delivering to any member of his 
 family, or any employe over the age of 10 years found 
 on the premises so quarantined, notice thereof, written or 
 printed, or partly written and partly printed, and at the 
 same time explaining the contents thereof ; and care must 
 be taken to comply in every particular with the require- 
 ments of the law in this matter. Before delivering the 
 notice to the owner an exact copy must be made, upon 
 the back of which the veterinarian will certify over his 
 signature the manner in which it has been served, and 
 forward the same to the secretary of the board, with 
 his report of the case, which must always be made out 
 and mailed immediately. Delay in making reports is not 
 only annoying, but sometimes gives rise to complications 
 which are not easily corrected. Promptness in all official 
 duties is a virtue that will be highly appreciated by the 
 board. 
 
 Rule 3. In cases of glanders the veterinarian shall, 
 after service of notice of quarantine, as provided in rule 
 2, endeavor to agree with the owner Qf the diseased 
 animal or animals upon a fair market valuation of the 
 same, not exceeding $100.00 on each animal. This limita- 
 tion is fixed by law and cannot be altered. Explain to 
 the owner that under the rules of the board he will be 
 allowed one-third of the appraisement as compensation 
 for the destruction of the diseased animal, upon receipt 
 of proof of such destruction and of the burial, burning or 
 tanking of the carcass and the disinfection of the prem- 
 ises in accordance with the directions given on the back 
 of the Notice of Quarantine. Blanks for making this 
 proof (which consists of the affidavit of the owner and 
 the affidavits of two disinterested freeholders) will be 
 mailed him by the secretary upon receipt of report. 
 Attention should be called to the nature of the proof re- 
 quired, so that the owner may have his witnesses present 
 when the work is done. If an appraisement is agreed 
 
7 
 
 upon with the owner, it then becomes his duty under the 
 law to cause such animal or animals to be destroyed, 
 the alternative being to hold the diseased animal and 
 all the exposed animals in close quarantine. No attempt 
 should be made to compel the destruction of any animal, 
 but at the request of the owner the veterinarian may 
 destrDy the animal, acting as his agent. 
 
 If an appraisement cannot be agreed upon, or if after 
 appraisement the owner refuses to allow the destruction 
 of the diseased animal, he should be notified that the dis- 
 eased animal and all exposed animals must be kept in 
 close quarantine pending further proceedings, which, under 
 the law', may be the appointment of a board of appraisers 
 and the possible destruction of the diseased animals with- 
 out any compensation. Notice should also be given the 
 owner that should any of the animals die in quarantine 
 or be killed without having been appraised, no compensa- 
 tion will be allowed. Such compensation is only paid 
 for animals’ that are diseased with glanders that are 
 slaughtered by direction of the board in accordance with 
 its rules. 
 
 Under the rules of the board no compensation is paid 
 for the destruction of any animal brought into this State 
 which shall develop glanders within six months from 
 the date of importation, unless it shall be shown to the 
 satisfaction of the board that the disease was contracted 
 within this State. 
 
 • Rule 4. The establishment of a quarantine means that 
 ncne of the animals included in such quarantine, either 
 diseased or exposed, shall be removed from the quaran- 
 tined premises, or be permitted to leave such premises, 
 nor shall any other animals susceptible to the - disease 
 with which the huarantined animals are affected or to 
 which they have been exposed, be brought on to such 
 quarantined premises, except under such rules and regula- 
 tions as the Board of Live Stock Commissioners may pre- 
 scribe. 
 
 Under this provision of the law', upon recommendation 
 of the veterinarian in charge, written permits may be 
 issued to the owners of quarantined animals exposed to 
 glanders, under which such quarantined animals may be 
 used off from the premises of the owner, subject to the 
 following conditions : 
 
 a. The animals included in the permit must not be 
 W'orked with nor allow'ed to come in contact with other 
 animals of the equine species not in quarantine. 
 
 b. They must not be tied to trees or racks or posts 
 used as public hitching places. 
 
 c. They must not be fed nor watered in troughs, 
 buckets or other receptacles used for feeding or watering 
 other animals of the equine species. 
 
8 
 
 d. They must not be put up in barns or stables where 
 other animals of the equine species are kept. 
 
 e. They must be examined weekly at the expense of 
 the owner by a competent veterinarian named in the per- 
 mit, unless in the opinion of the veterinarian recommend- 
 ing- such permit such examination is impracticable and 
 may be safely dispensed with, in which case he shall so 
 state in his report and recommend that the weekly ex- 
 aminations be waived, giving- his reasons for such recom- 
 mendation. 
 
 This provision should be brought to the attention of the 
 owner of the quarantined animals, and if he desires to use 
 any or all of them off from his own premises, and signifies 
 his willingness to comply with the requirements of the 
 rules, and no special reason exists for not granting a 
 permit, the veterinarian should embody in his report of 
 the case a recommendation that such permit be granted 
 him and name a competent veterinarian to make the 
 weekly examinations. The owner should understand that 
 the permit is issued as a favor to him, and that without 
 it he would not be permitted to move his quarantined ani- 
 mals from his premises for any purpose. 
 
 The veterinarian who is to conduct the weekly examina- 
 tions should be informed that the examinations are to be 
 made at the expense of the owner and that weekly re- 
 ports of the condition of the animals must be mailed 
 promptly to the board at Springfield, and that the veterin- 
 arian in charge must be notified immediately if clinical 
 symptoms of glanders appear. He should also understand 
 that his appointment confers no authority upon him be-’ 
 yond the duty of making the weekly examinations and 
 reporting the results promptly. 
 
 Permits may also be issued for the removal of quaran- 
 tined animals to other premises, where they will be quar- 
 antined, upon the recommendation of the State Veterinar- 
 ian or the veterinarian in charge of the case. 
 
 Rule 5. In cases of anthrax, black leg and hemorrhagic 
 septicemia, after the establishment of quarantine the 
 owner should be instructed to burn all carcasses, or bury 
 them at least six feet below the surface of the ground, 
 well covered with quick lime. So far as possible the car- 
 casses should be disposed of where they fall, but should 
 it be absolutely necessary to move any carcass it should 
 be loaded on a sled with a tight board bottom, which 
 should afterwards be thoroughly disinfected, and the track 
 over which the sled was drawn should be covered with 
 a thick layer of straw, which should be burned. The 
 surface of the ground where the carcass lay should be 
 scraped to a depth of several inches, if near the pit where 
 the carcass is to be buried, and the scrapings thrown in 
 
9 
 
 with the carcass ; or the ground where the carcass lay 
 may be covered with straw and the straw burned. 
 
 In cases where animals die in barns or other buildings, 
 after the removal of the carcasses all loose litter and ma- 
 nure should be carefully removed and burned and the 
 interior of the buildings should be thoroughly disinfected. 
 
 Under no circumstances should the hide be allowed to 
 be removed from the carcass of an animal dying of an- 
 thrax. 
 
 Rule 6. In cases of Texas fever, after placing all dis- 
 eased and exposed animals in quarantine, get as com- 
 plete a history of the outbreak as can be obtained in the 
 locality. Ascertain the point from which the cattle re- 
 sponsible for the outbreak were brought ; date of ship- 
 ment from point of origin ; route over which they came ; 
 whether they w'ere unloaded in transit, and if so, at 
 What point, and date of such unloading ; also whether they 
 were reloaded into the same cars in which they were 
 originally shipped; date of arrival at destination-; number 
 and initials of cars in which they were shipped, and any 
 other information that may be of value in tracing the 
 origin of the infection. 
 
 Rule 7. In default of any appropriation for making 
 investigations of reported cases of tuberculosis, work in 
 this direction, including the tuberculin test, can only be 
 done at the expense of the owners. 
 
 Rule 8. Any person desiring to ship any animal or ani- 
 mals from this State to another state, the authorities of 
 which require health certificates to accompany such ani- 
 mals, may call upon the State Veterinarian or any Assist- 
 ant State Veterinarian, and request him to make such in- 
 spection. It shall thereupon be the duty of the veterin- 
 arian applied to, to at once make such inspection as may 
 be required under the rules and regulations of the author- 
 ities of the state to which it is desired to ship such ani- 
 mal or animals, and to certify the result of such inspec- 
 tion to the party requesting the same, and to transmit a 
 copy thereof to the secretary of this board. For such 
 services the veterinarian shall be entitled to receive from 
 the owner the same compensation as is allowed him by 
 the State for like services, together with his necessary ex- 
 penses in going from and to his regular place of business. 
 In no case shall the State be liable for the cost of such 
 services. 
 
 Rule 9. Assistant State Veterinarians shall be entitled 
 to receive for their services while engaged in the per- 
 formance of any public service to which they are assigned 
 by the board or by the State Veterinarian, the sum of 
 
10 
 
 $1.00 per hour for parts of a day less than eight hours; 
 but in no case shall they receive more than $8.00 per day 
 for their services; nor shall they be, permitted to make 
 any charge nor receive any compensation from a private 
 individual during- the time they are actually employed 
 and paid by the State. 
 
 Rule 10. Whenever it shall come to the knowledge of 
 the State Veterinarian, or any Assistant State Veterin- 
 arian, that animals have been brought into his locality 
 from a district scheduled against by proclamation of the 
 Governor restricting the movement of such animals from 
 such district into this State, or from one point to another 
 within this State, in violation of such proclamation, or 
 of the movement of any domestic animals within the 
 State in violation of any quarantine, or of any regulation 
 of the board, he shall immediately notify the secretary of 
 the board at Springfield, giving him full information in 
 regard to the matter. 
 
 Rule 11. Immediately upon the completion of each 
 investigation, a full and complete report of his doings 
 in connection with the case shall be made out and signed 
 by the veterinarian and mailed to the secretary of the 
 board at Springfield. The report shall be made out on 
 the blank furnished by the board for the purpose and 
 shall give the name and postoffice address of the owner 
 of the animals, plainly written, date of investigation and 
 location of premises. The report must be accompanied 
 by an exact duplicate of any notice of quarantine served, 
 with endorsement on the back thereof of the manner and 
 date of service, and all correspondence concerning the 
 case. A statement of per cliem and expenses in connection 
 with the case, and receipts for -all expenses except rail- 
 road and car fare should also be sent in with the report, 
 and near the end of the month an itemized statement 
 of traveling expenses covering the whole month, on the 
 yellow blank furnished for the purpose, signed by the 
 veterinarian, must be sent to the secretary, to be attached 
 to the voucher to be presented to the Governor and State 
 Auditor. A full history of the case should also be entered 
 in the veterinarian’s record book for future reference. 
 
 If the report contains a recommendation for the issu- 
 ance of a permit for the use of quarantine animals, the 
 name of the veterinarian who is to conduct the weekly 
 examinations must also be given. 
 
 If more than one case is to be reported, make a separ- 
 ate report for each, using a separate blank. Boarding 
 stables where norses belonging to different owners are 
 kept, may be included under one quarantine, notice of 
 
11 
 
 which may be served on the owner of the barn or the 
 person in charge, and a single report is sufficient in such 
 cases ; but where animals occupying different premises 
 are included in the same investigation they must be 
 quarantined separately and a separate report made for 
 each of the several premises. 
 
CLAIMS. 
 
 Upon receipt of the report of an inspector of this board, 
 of the condemnation of any animal affected with glanders, 
 the secretary shall mail to the owner of such animal a 
 blank with which to make proof of his claim against the 
 State arising from the slaughter of such animal, which 
 proof shall consist of his affidavit to the effect : 
 
 1. That the condemned animal has been destroyed, 
 giving date of destruction. 
 
 2. That the carcass was immediately burned, properly 
 buried or consigned to the rendering tank, giving date 
 upon which it was so disposed of. 
 
 3. That the premises occupied by the condemned ani- 
 mal and all things with which it had come in contact 
 while diseased and in his possession, had been thoroughly 
 disinfected in accordance with the instructions contained 
 in the notice of quarantine served upon him, giving date 
 of such disinfection. 
 
 4. That the animal had been in this State, at least six 
 months prior to the development of the disease. 
 
 Which affidavit shall be supported by the affidavits of 
 two disinterested freeholders to the effect that the state- 
 ments set forth in the affidavit of the owner of such con- 
 demned animal are, to their personal and individual 
 knowledge, true in every respect. 
 
 Upon the return of such blank, properly executed, it 
 shall be placed on file in the records of the case, and 
 at the next meeting of the board thereafter, it being 
 satisfactory, a voucher for the amount of compensation 
 clue the owner will be approved. 
 
 The amount to be paid in each case to the owner of 
 animals slaughtered that are affected with glanders, shall 
 be one-third of the agreed fair cash market value (which 
 fair cash market value shall not exceed $100 per head), 
 or in case a board of appraisers is appointed by this 
 board, one-third of the valuation fixed by said appraisers, 
 which valuation shall not exceed $100 per head: Provided, 
 that no compensation shall be allowed for any animal 
 brought into this State which shall develop the disease 
 within six months from the date of importation, unless it 
 shall be shown to the satisfaction of this board that the 
 disease was contracted within this State.

 tion. 
 
 •The veterinarian conducting the weekly examinations 
 shall make prompt report to the secretary of the board 
 of thfe condition of the animals at the conclusion of each 
 examination, and upon the appearance of any clinical

 permits are authorized by the regulations contained in 
 said proclamation, may be issued upon the written ap- 
 plication of the party desiring such permit, upon the 
 recommendation of a member of this board, or a duly 
 authorized representative thereof, (or in case a similar

 preceding year, the premises remaining unchanged, with- 
 cut such recommendation) which permits shall be subject 
 to the following conditions : 
 
 1. The premises to ’which such cattle are to be shipped

 premises while living for any purpose except for imme- 
 diate slaughter, during the quarantine season, and the 
 
15 
 
 same prohibition shall apply to any other cattle that may 
 pass through or enter the chutes used in unloading 
 cattle from the scheduled district or that may be ad- 
 mitted to premises occupied by such cattle, unless the 
 chutes and portions of the premises to which they have 
 been admitted shall have been thoroughly cleansed and 
 disinfected after their use or occupancy by such cattle

 try, to-wit : 
 
 1. The lirne-and-sulphur dip; made in the proportion 
 of twelve pounds of unslaked lime and twenty-four pounds 
 of flowers of sulphur to one hundred gallons of water. 
 Weigh both the lime and the sulphur. Place the un- 
 slaked lime in a mortar box or some suitable vessel and 
 add enough water to slake the lime and form a lime 
 paste or lime putty. Sift into this lime paste the flowers 
 
of sulphur, and stir the mixture well. To make one 
 hundred, gallons of the dip, place the sulphur-and-lime 
 paste in a kettle or boiler with about thirty gallons of 
 .boiling water and boil the mixture for two hours at least, 
 stirring the liquid and sediment ; add enough water when 
 necessary to maintain the quantity. Draw the mixture 
 and. sedimdfrt into a large tub or barrel placed near the 
 dipping vat and provided with a bunghole about four 
 inches from the bottom, and allow ample time to settle 
 — from two to three hours or more if necessary. When, 
 fully settled, draw oft the clear liquid into the dipping 
 vat and add enough warm water to make one hundred 
 gallons. The same directions apply to larger quantities 
 of dip, proportionate amounts of ingredients being used. 
 
 2. The tobaceo-and-sulphur ' dip ; made with sufficient 
 extract of tobacco or nicotine solution to give a mixture 
 containing not less than five one-hundredths of one per 
 cent of nicotine and two per cent flowers of sulphur. 
 
 Or other formula that may be approved by this board, 
 until they are pronounced free from scabies by a com- 
 petent veterinarian recognized by this board ; and shall 
 thoroughly disinfect the infected portions of such prem- 
 ises before other cattle are allowed to be placed thereon, 
 in the following manner : 
 
 First remove ill bedding and litter from stables, man- 
 gers, feed boxes, yards and pens that have been occupied 
 by scabby cattle, or by cattle that have been exposed to 
 the infection, and destroy the same by burning ; then 
 thoroughly whitewash all woodwork with which such 
 cattle may have come in contact, and sprinkle the floor 
 or ground thickly with the preparation described in Rule 
 four, for disinfecting cars, etc. If the lime-and-sulphur 
 dip has been used upon the cattle, the residue can be used 
 in disinfecting by the addition of crude carbolic acid in 
 the proportion of one gallon of the acid to nineteen gal- 
 lons of the dip. 
 
 These regulations shall apply to feeding stations, load- 
 ing pens and chutes at all railroad stations, as well as 
 to the premises of private individuals.

 animal unfit for human food, shall immediately notify 
 the Secretary of the Live Stock Exchange or the Chief 
 Veterinary Inspector or his assistant. 
 
 Rule 5. Upon receiving any notice as provided for in 
 Rule 4, it shall be the duty of the Chief Veterinary In-

 Third — The description of the animal. 
 
 Fourth — Tag 1 number of the animal. 
 
 Fifth — Weight of the animal. 
 
 Sixth — The result of the inspection. 
 
 And he shall furnish to the Secretary of the Live Stock

 in quarantine until the same shall be duly appraised, 
 as provided for in section two of “An act to amend an

 and infectious diseases among domestic animals,’ ap- 
 proved June 27, 1 885, in force July 1, 1885,” (Approved

 Commissioners, or its agents, to make such inspection of- 
 the yards as they may desire, for the purpose of ascer- 
 taining whether all cattle afflicted with actinomycosis or 
 other diseases that might render the flesh of the animal

 LIVE STOCK STOCK SANITARY LEGIS- 
 LATION. 
 
 FOR THE SUPPRESSION AND PREVENTION OF THE 
 SPREAD OF CONTAGIOUS AND INFECTIOUS 
 DISEASES AMONG DOMESTIC ANIMALS. 
 
 “AN ACT to revise the law in relation to the suppression 
 and prevention of the spread of contagious and infec- 
 tious diseases among domestic animals ” approved 
 June 27, 1885, in force July 1, 1885, as amended by an 
 Act approved and in ' force April 20, 1887, and an Act 
 approved June 15, 1887 , in force July 1, 1887. 
 
 Section 1. Be it enacted by the People of the State 
 of Illinois, represented in the General Assembly : That 
 
 the Governor shall, with the advice and consent of the 
 Senate, appoint three practical stock breeders, not more 
 than two of whom shall be members of the same politi- 
 cal party, who shall constitute a Board of Live Stock 
 Commissioners, who shall hold their office in the order 
 in wiiich they are named, the first for one year, the 
 second for two years, and the third for three years, and 
 their successors in office shall be appointed for three 
 years each. Before entering on the duties of their office 
 they shall take and subscribe to an oath of office for the 
 faithful performance of their duties as such commis- 
 sioners, and shall file the same with the Governor. 
 
 § 2. It shall be the duty of the said Board of Com- 
 missioners to cause to be investigated any and all cases, 
 or alleged cases, coming to their knowledge of contag- 
 ious or infectious diseases among domestic animals, and 
 to use all proper means to prevent the spread of such 
 diseases, and to provide for the extirpation thereof ; and 
 in the event of reasonable ground for the belief that any 
 such contagious or infectious disease has broken out in 
 this State, it shall be the duty of the person owning 
 or having in charge any animal or animals infected with 
 disease, or any other person having knowledge or reason 
 to suspect the existence of such disease, to immediately 
 notify said Board of Commissioners, or some member 
 thereof, by communication to said board, of the exis- 
 
46 
 
 tenee of such disease, and thereupon it shall be the 
 duty of said board, or some member thereof, or author- 
 ized agent of the board, immediately to cause proper 
 examination thereof to be made, and if said disease 
 shall be found to be a dangerously contagious or dan- 
 gerously infectious malady, said board or. any member 
 thereof, or the State Veterinarian or any Assistant Vet- 
 erinarian, shall order said diseased animals, and such 
 as have been exposed to contagion, and the premises in 
 which they are, to be strictly quarantined for such time 
 as the board, or any member thereof, or such veterinarian 
 may deem necessary, in charge of such person as the 
 board, or any member thereof, or such veterinarian shall 
 designate ; and they shall have power to order any 
 premises and farms where the disease exists, or has 
 recently existed, as well as exposed premises and farms, 
 to be put in quarantine so that no domestic animal which 
 has been, or is so diseased, or has been exposed to such 
 contagious or infectious disease, be removed from the 
 places so quarantine, nor allow any healthly animal to 
 be brought therein, except under such rule or regulation 
 as the said board may prescribe ; and said board shall 
 prescribe such regulations as they may deem necessary 
 to prevent such disease from being communicated in 
 any way from the places quarantined. In all such cases 
 of contagious and infectious diseases, the said board, or, 
 in case the number of animals shall not exceed five, any 
 member thereof, shall have power to order the slaughter 
 of all such diseased and exposed animals. The said board 
 shall have power to cause to be destroyed all barns, 
 stables, premises, fixtures, furniture and personal prop- 
 erty infected with any such' contagious or infectious dis- 
 ease, so far as in their judgment may be necessary to 
 prevent the spread of such disease, and where the same 
 cannot be properly disinfected. When the board, upon 
 the written report of the State Veterinarian, or any of 
 his assistants, determine that any animal is affected with, 
 or has been exposed to, any dangerously contagious or in- 
 fectious disease, the board, or any member thereof, may 
 agree with the owner upon the value of such animal or 
 property, and in case such agreement cannot be made, 
 said board, or the member acting in behalf of the board, 
 may appoint three disinterested citizens of the State to 
 appraise such diseased animal or exposed animals or 
 property. Such appraisers shall subscribe to an oath in 
 writing to fairly value such animal in accordance with 
 the requirements of this act, which oath, together with 
 the valuation fixed by said appraisers, shall be filed with 
 
47 
 
 the board, and be preserved by them. Upon such ap- 
 praisement being made it shall become the duty of the 
 owner to immediately destroy such animal and dispose 
 of the same in accordance with the order of said board, 
 or member thereof, and upon failure to so do, said board, 
 or any member thereof, shall cause such animal or ani- 
 mals or property to be destroyed and disposed of, and 
 thereupon the said owner shall forfeit all right to re- 
 ceive the compensation allowed by said appraisers and 
 provided for by this act. When the board, upon the 
 written opinion of the State Veterinarian, determines that 
 any barns, stables, outbuildings or premises are so in- 
 fected that the same cannot be disinfected, they may 
 quarantine such barns, stables, outbuildings or premises 
 from use for the animals that may be infected by such 
 use, and such quarantine shall continue until removed 
 by the board, and a violation of such quarantine shall 
 be punished as is provided for violations of other quar- 
 antine by this act. 
 
 § 3. The Governor shall appoint a competent veterin- 
 ary surgeon, who shall be known as the State Veterin-

 plaintiff in such action, and the judgment when collected 
 shall be paid over to the parties entitled thereto, in their 
 proper proportions.
