IM TOUT A XT T?> STOCK RAISERS. .New A el of General Assembly Will Bc of General Benefit. Clemson College, April 20.-Edi tor Keoweo Courier: The last (?ene ral Assembly of South Carolina pass ed a measure that is of great im p?rtame to stock breeders of thisj und other States. This act prohibits the importation of diseased live stock Into the State ol' South Carolina. Such a law be came necessary owing to the passage of similar laws by other States, and unless this protection had been af forded this State would soon become a dumping ground for diseased stock from other States. Briefly summarised, the act is as follows. "All shipments of live stock, except those for immediate slaughter, must be accompanied by certificate of health, showing that the animals are free from contagious or infectious diseases. This certifi cate can be Issued by the State Vete rinarian or assistant State Veterina rian of the State from which ship ment is mnde, or by a veterinarian in the emp'oy of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry, or by any competent veterinarian author ized by the State Veterinarian of South Carolina. All health certifi cates must be lu duplicate, (these certificates will be furnished quali fied veterinarians and transporta tion companies at actual cost), the original of which must be forwarded to the State Veterinarian of South Carolina, and the duplicate must be attached to bill of lading for said animals." All cattle over six months of age, except those for immediate slaugh ter, must be tested with tuberculin and must be free of tuberculosis be fore they are brought in this State. Temperature reports of the test or certified copy of same must accom pany the health certificate. The tu berculin test must he lade within oO days preceding shipment. The penalty for violation of this . act is a fine of not less than $.">00 i and not more than $1.000, or Im prisonment for not more than one \ear. This act also allows indemnity i for tuberculous and glander animals ; destroyed by the Stat? authorities. Previous lo the passage of this act no indemnity has uecti allowed. This act will nndoubtedl) prove of great value to stock owners in this State ami to facilitate shipments of live Ktock Into South Carolina. Yerj t ru ly yours, M. Hay Powers, state Veterinarian.
