$Conditions of Obligations i 4. In the principality of Schwarzburg-Sonderhausen a state food animal insur- ance was established October 1, 1900. This applies to cattle, calves, and hogs. The unwholesome meat and that of inferior quality are paid for at their full value. 5. In the principalities of Reuss a state food animal insurance is maintained, based on the laws of March 10, 1903, and March 12, 1903, with regulations of May ’5. 1903, which went into effect on July 1, 1903. All cattle and hogs (including calves), which are slaughtered in the principality, and which are sold for the purpose of slaughtei, must be insured. The indemnities of the condemned animals amount to the full value, but no settlement is made for losses less than $1.25. food animal insurance, but lately it is doubtful whether it will go into effect. The insurance is compulsory on all cattle over three months of age, which are slaughtered for commercial purposes, or if the animal had to be immediately slaughtered on account of some injury. The indemnity for carcasses condemned, conditionally passed, or of inferior value, is established by the full value of the carcass from which deductions are made of the actual value of the utilizable parts. It belongs to the urgent duties of every veterinarian connected with meat inspection to familiarize himself thoroughly regarding the insurance of food animals and their regulations in the territory to which his activity extends, in order that he may not commit errors, but act as an expert adviser to the interested parties. [Theie is no food animal insurance carried out at present in the United States, but inasmuch as such splendid results have been obtained in the different countries of Europe by the above-described methods of insurance it is quite probable that in the course of time an insurance will be established which will protect the packers and shippers from the o-reat losses sustained from the transportation and condemnation of food- producing animals.] E Conditions of Obligations, (Guarantee) Regarding the guarantee obligations against certain affections in pur- chased animals. it is necessary to refer to the citizens' law book which prescribes the obligations of the seller in regard to some affPrti \ wording to Sec. 482, the seller is responsible only for certain deficiencies (principal deficiencies), and only then when they appear inside of a cer- { m Inie (g^^tee limit).
