FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE.
ANIMALS FROM ENGLAND. [THE PRESS Special Serric*.] AUCKLAND, June 8. The Auckland Agricultural and Pastoral Association has decided to support the Hawke's Bay Society in advocating that no animal should be. imported into New Zealand from any country where foot-and-mouth disease exists! "I am sure our society will give the movement every support, said the president, Mr W. W. Massey. "There is ft move, however, to import animals from England, but the conditions are so hard that it would be almost impossible for the disease to come in if the animals were imported. 'For instance, animals would not: be permitted to come out on a cargo steamer but on a passenger vessel. All bedding and fodder usedontlie voyage would have to come from New Zealand, while a qualified veterinary surgeon would have to travel with the animals.. Mr J. K. Callaghan, secretary of the Fiiesian Breeders' Association, said that if the disease came into the Dominion it would be utterly impossible .to stamp it out.
