THE ANTHRAX REPORT.
RIDICULED IN WELLINGTON, ■ HOW IT WAS STAMPED OUT. By Telegraph.—Per Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. The suggestion in the cable meseage yesterday that the death of the butcher at Mitcham, England, was due to handling New Zealand rabbits is ridiculed by flic Department of Agriculture here. Tlie last case of anthrax known in New Zealand was in 1908. In 1905 there were several outbreaks, chiefly in the North Island. The cause was traced to the importation of nnsterilised ibone manures from foreign countries. The Government accordingly issued regulations absolutely prohibiting the importation of animal manures from all foreign countries except from Australia and India, at the main ports. In each of these places an inspector was appointed, with very large powers, to superintend the sterilisation of all animal manures prior to exportation to }C('w Zealand. Since then no animal
manure of any description Bias been admitted into New Zealand unless corenJd l>v a certificate that all regulations have been faithfully complied with, signed by the inspector and endorsed hv the proprietor of the licensed works.
