REGULATIONS—continued.

Calves, sheep, goats, and pigs, such as are ordinarily sent to market for
consumption, properly secured in crates, baskets, or sacks, so as to prevent injury
to other goods, may be sent as goods, Class A. In all such cases the Department
reserves to itself the right to load such stock in a truck with other goods.

Valuable stud and show calves, sheep, goats, and pigs, properly secured in crates,
will be charged at the rate for cattle, calves, sheep, goats, and pigs in small lots.

When a truck is only partially occupied by a consignment of stud, show, or
ordinary stock, the Department reserves to itself the right to fill it up to its full
carrying-capacity with other stock. If a separate truck is specially required by
sender the truck rate will be charged.

All animals must be loaded and unloaded by owners at their own risk and
responsibility.

The Department reserves the right to supply single-floored trucks for the con-
veyance of sheep, &c., when double-floored trucks are not available, and in such

truck.
