1893] Document No. 18. 51
towns was, in 1S91 30, and in the first ten months of 1892
73, as against 66 in 1889 and 77 in 1890, in about the same
total population—100,000 in round numbers. The Board,
realizing its importance, hopes to redouble its efforts to
diminish its ravages. With that object in view, a commu-nication,
which appears elsewhere in this report, suitable for
the general public, explaining the nature of its origin and
the best means of preventing its spread, has been sent to the
newspapers of the State with a request to publish for the
instruction of their readers.
DISEASES PREVAILING AMONG DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Glanders.—Only one case has been reported in the past
two years. The proper precautions were immediately taken
and the disease promptly stamped out. On account of its
communicability to man this disease is of special interest.
Cholera in Hogs was reported from 04 counties in 1891
and 35 in 1892. The annual money loss to the State from
this cause is quite large. From recent investigations by the
Bureau of Animal Industry at Washington it appears that
something can be done in the way of prevention, and with
the approval of the authorities of the Agricultural Depart-ment
the latest facts on this subject will be given to our
farmers through its Bulletin.
