ed since August, 16. In that case
only two cattle in a herd of 800 were
affected and officials are hopeful
that the prompt slaughter and deep
burial of the entire herd destroyed
the virus of foot and mouth disease
before it could spread. Twelve large

those herds and all others which are

As a still further measure of safe­

recommendation of the bureau of
