    The Secretary of Agriculture is authorized, at the expense of the

ports as he may designate for such purpose, and under such conditions as 
he may by regulation prescribe, respectively, for the several classes of 
animals above described. For this purpose he may have and maintain 
possession of all lands, buildings, animals, tools, fixtures, and 
appurtenances in use on August 3, 1890, for the quarantine of neat 
cattle, and purchase, construct, or rent as may be necessary, and he may 
appoint veterinary surgeons, inspectors, officers, and employees by him 
deemed necessary to maintain such quarantine, and provide for the 
execution of the other provisions of this subchapter.
