78 Third Annual Report of the 



era ; forty had died prior to my arrival. Tiiese hogs had been kept 

 and fed on slaughter house offal; I ordered all i)ens disinfected, 

 the sick separted from the well and the hogs removed to new pens 

 that were not infected with the germs of the disease, and I have 

 heard of no further trouble there from that cause. Julv fifteenth, 

 I went to McGrawville, Cortland county, and examined a cow 

 owned by M. C. Bean that had been reported by a local veterina- 

 rian as suffering from lump jaw. Dr. Henderson met me there. 

 We could not find indication of lump jaw, but did find enlarged 

 glands of the throat and jaw which might be tuberculous. Dr. 

 Henderson then tested the cow with tuberculin and found her 

 affected with tuberculosis and afterwards killed her on an order 

 from the State Board of Health through Dr. F. O. Donohue. On 

 July twenty-second, I went to Conklin, Broome county, and exam- 

 ined the herd of milch cows on the fai*m of Levi L. Roe at that 

 place. I found a number of them badly affected with tuberculosis; 

 I stopped the sale of milk at once and reported the matter to the 

 Secretary of the Tuberculosis Committee. All the tuberculous 

 cows in this herd were afterward killed by order of that Com- 

 mittee. On July twenty-fifth I exajiiined the cattle on the farm of 

 J. S. Miller at Pine Bush, Orange county, and found them affected 

 with tuberculosis, and on July twenty-seventh examined the herd 

 of milch cows on farm of Jesse Agor, near Mahopac, Putnam 

 county, and found them affected with tuberculosis. Both herds 

 were reported to the State Board of Health at once. 



On August fourth I went to Jamestown, Chautauqua county, and 

 examined the horses on the farm of Mr. Sage, near Fentonville. 

 ! found two suffering from anthrax and five horses died from the 

 disease prior to my arrival. All were pastured in the same field. 

 I then went to Centralia, in the same county, and examined the 

 cows on the farm of L. C. Miuinger. I found the cattle being 

 pastured in a swamp, and five had died from anthrax. I ordered 

 them changed to high ground at once and quarantined them. On 

 August ninth I examined the cows on the farm of John W. Bray, 

 five miles north of Arcade, Wyoming county, and found two cows 

 affected with anthrax; five had died from it before my visit.
