New Quarantine Rules to Aid Cattle and Hog Transport
The Department of Agriculture issued Bureau of Animal Industry Order 210 effective July 1 1914 to ease interstate live stock movement. It allows dipped cattle from tick quarantines to ship to markets with inspectors and proper dipping facilities after a second supervised dip. Hog movement from public stock yards is allowed due to a serum enabling hog cholera immunity, promising a pork production boost. Official dipping now uses lime sulfur and arsenical baths only, with field tests to ensure safe strengths, ending nicotine coal tar creosote and cresol use.
