Excerpt from Report of the Montana Live Stock Sanitary Board and State Veterinary Surgeon: Including Special Articles on Hog Cholera, Foot-and-Mouth Disease, the Pasteurization of Milk, and the Intra-Dermal Method of Testing Animals for Tuberculosis; For Years 1913-1914 No extra appropriation was made by the Legislature in 1913 for this work, so we were dependent to a great extent upon aid from the United States Bureau o-f Animal Industry. In the fall of 1913, the disease having 'been found to also exist in North Dakota and Wyoming, the Federal funds available for this work were exhausted. We were notified that unless the work could be continued it would be necessary to place a Federal quarantine on our horses. A representative of the Live Stock Sanitary Board proceeded to Washington, D. C., and through the capable efforts of our representatives in the United States Senate and House of Representatives, Congress appropriated for the eradication of dourine. The avoidance of a Federal quarantine saved our horsemen from a tremendous loss, leaving open to them the markets of the world, which is especially appreciated at this time owing to the demand for cavalry and artillery horses, for which pur poses Montana horses are surpassed by none in the world. By agreement this money was also used in indemnifying own ers of diseased animals, the Government paying oneahalf of the assessed valuation, and thus requiring (the payment of only one - fourth by the State and one-fourth by the county, and which also resulted in a saving of many thousands of dollars.
