  the 
  Board 
  of 
  Health 
  of 
  Gardiner, 
  Ulster 
  

   county, 
  X. 
  Y., 
  reported 
  what 
  they 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  contagious 
  

   pleuro-pneumonia 
  in 
  the 
  dairy 
  herd 
  of 
  Mrs. 
  Lulu 
  McGarry, 
  

   several 
  cows 
  having 
  died.

  after 
  a 
  post- 
  

   mortem 
  examination 
  of 
  two 
  cows, 
  reported 
  tuberculosis 
  and 
  para- 
  

   sitic 
  disease 
  (modular) 
  of

  intestines. 
  

  

  April 
  28, 
  1899, 
  at 
  L. 
  H. 
  Whyland's, 
  Chatham 
  Centre, 
  Col- 
  

   umbia 
  county, 
  iST. 
  Y., 
  several 
  swine 
  died. 
  A 
  post-mortem 
  by 
  

   Dr. 
  Ambler 
  revealed 
  pneumonia 
  and 
  pleurisy, 
  but 
  no 
  specific 
  bac- 
  

   teria 
  were 
  discovered 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Moore, 
  bacteriologist 
  at 
  Cornell 
  

   University. 
  The 
  disease 
  did 
  not 
  spread. 
  

  

  On 
  May 
  29, 
  1899, 
  a 
  complaint 
  was 
  received 
  from 
  Mr. 
  F. 
  B. 
  

   Thurber, 
  of 
  Xew 
  York 
  City, 
  that 
  his 
  cows 
  on 
  farm 
  at 
  Onteora 
  

   Park, 
  Greene 
  county, 
  X. 
  Y., 
  were 
  dying 
  from 
  supposed 
  conta- 
  

   gious 
  disease. 
  Dr. 
  Ambler 
  reported 
  that 
  all 
  cattle 
  on 
  the 
  farm 
  at 
  

   the 
  time 
  of 
  examination 
  were 
  apparently 
  healthy, 
  but 
  that 
  inves- 
  

   tigation 
  showed 
  that 
  cows 
  had 
  died 
  during 
  previous 
  winter 
  from 
  

   neglect 
  and 
  exposure. 
  

  

  In 
  June, 
  examinations 
  were 
  made 
  at 
  Craryville, 
  Columbia 
  

   county, 
  X. 
  Y., 
  of 
  swine 
  belonging 
  to 
  James 
  Whitbeck, 
  Xorman 
  

   Xiver 
  and 
  William 
  Ten 
  Broeck. 
  All 
  had 
  lost 
  hogs 
  during 
  the 
  

   spring. 
  Dr. 
  Ambler 
  held 
  a 
  post-mortem 
  on 
  one 
  at 
  Mr. 
  Whit- 
  

   beck's 
  June 
  second, 
  but 
  bacterial 
  examination 
  proved 
  nothing. 
  

   On 
  June 
  thirteenth 
  he 
  was 
  assisted 
  by 
  Prof. 
  Moore, 
  but 
  could 
  find 
  

   no 
  subject 
  favorable 
  for 
  post-mortem 
  examination. 
  This 
  outbreak 
  

   they 
  reported 
  as 
  probably 
  a 
  mild 
  form 
  of 
  swine 
  plague 
  which 
  

   had 
  practically 
  spent 
  its 
  force 
  before 
  being 
  reported. 
  

  

  From 
  a 
  request 
  received 
  from 
  the 
  Secretary 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  Board 
  

   of 
  Health 
  by 
  this 
  Department, 
  an 
  investigation 
  was 
  made 
  as 
  to 
  

   the 
  disposition 
  of 
  milk 
  produced 
  by 
  tuberculous 
  cows 
  owned 
  

   by 
  Eugent 
  Myers 
  of 
  Ouddybackville, 
  Orange 
  county, 
  X. 
  Y. 
  The 
  

   milk 
  was 
  found 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  carefully 
  buried, 
  and 
  never 
  had 
  been 
  

   offered 
  for 
  sale 
  after 
  the 
  diseased 
  condition 
  of 
  the 
  cows 
  had 
  become 
  

   known 
  to 
  Mr. 
  Mvers.
