IMPORTATION OF LIVE STOCK. 



Of the different classes of live stock imported during the past month 

 special attention may be called to the Angus and Holstein cattle brought 

 down for the Grove Farm, Maui. They were all high class animals of a 

 kind of which this Territory is very much in need.

Post-mortem examinations were held at the local abattoirs on previ- 

 ously condemned animals, positive lesions of tuberculosis being present in 

 every case. 



CONTAGIOUS ABORTIONS AMONG CATTLE. 



Positive evidence of contagious abortion among the cattle of several 

 dairies has been obtained and at the present time 17 head of fine dairy 

 cows are being treated with contagious abortion bacterins, of which we 

 have a sufficient amount on hand. 



CONTAGIOUS EPITHELIOMA. 



Fifty-four chickens were injected with vaccine for this disease and 

 100 cc. of vaccine distributed to different chicken raisers. So far we 

 have had comparatively few outbreaks of this disease reported this year.
