He shall encourage the breeders of Indiana to place their herds under state and federal supervision for the eradication of tuberculosis; issue suitable certificates annually, to the owners of such herds as qualify for tuberculosis free accredited herds and publish annually a list of all herds that have qualified for the state list. If it is found necessary for the eradication of tuberculosis from such herds of cattle under state and federal supervision to quarantine or destroy animals affected by such disease, the state veterinarian is hereby authorized to quarantine or direct and super

vise the slaughter of such animals. In cases where cattle are condemned for slaughter the state veterinarian shall have them appraised in advance as hereinafter provided and to pay to the owner thereof one-third (1/3) of the difference between the appraised value of each animal so destroyed and the value of the salvage secured by the owner: Provided, however, That in no case shall any payment by the state be more than forty dollars ($40.00) for any grade animal, or more than eighty dollars ($80.00) for any pure bred animal.

3292j. Appraisal of tuberculous cattle.-2. Cattle affected with tuberculosis and condemned for slaughter, shall be appraised in advance by two (2) disinterested persons, one (1) to be selected by the state veterinarian, and the other by the owner; and when these two (2) persons are unable to agree, they shall select a third appraiser and their decision shall be final. In the appraisal of tuberculosis cattle, due consideration shall be given to their breeding value, as well as their dairy or meat value.

3292k. Pay for condemned cattle, how obtained.-3. Each owner of tuberculous animals which have been condemned and appraised shall market the cattle at the nearest federal inspection point at a time designated by the state veterinarian and shall obtain from the purchaser a certified itemized bill of sale showing the amount of money actually paid for the animals. When the appraised cattle have been slaughtered and the amount of salvage ascertained, the owner of the animals shall present his claim to the state veterinarian, which claim shall be accompanied by such reports as the state veterinarian shall require.

32921. Disinfection of barns, stables, sheds, etc.-4. In order to prevent the further spread of tuberculosis, materials contaminated by or exposed to this disease, including barns, stables, sheds, barnyards, lots and other inclosures where diseased cattle were previously confined, shall be disinfected by the owner of the cattle under the supervision of the state veterinarian or some one authorized by him.

3292m. Tuberculosis tests, by whom made.-5. No compensation will be allowed for cattle reacting to a tuberculin test that has been applied by other than the state veterinarian or an inspector regularly employed by the state veterinarian, or the bureau of animal industry of the United States Department of Agriculture. No compensation will be allowed for animals brought into the state unless they have been tested under the supervision of the United States department of agriculture, or are accompanied by a certificate of official test approved by the state veterinarian of Indiana showing that such cattle have been tested, and found to be free from tuberculosis.

3292n. Appropriations.-6. The sum of twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) for the fiscal year ending September 30, 1919, and fifty thousand dollars ($50,000.00) annually thereafter, is hereby appropriated out of any moneys not otherwise appropriated from the state treasury of Indiana for the purpose of paying for animals condemned by the state veterinarian and slaughtered under the provisions of this act, said fund to be expended on proper vouchers to be approved by the state veterinarian and filed with the auditor of state provided that any unexpended balance at the end of the year, shall revert to the state treasury.
