Young turkeys especially respond well to the treatment, and 

 several flocks out of which the owners did not expect to save a 

 single bird, have been treated without loss. Squabs and young 

 pigeons are more difficult to deal with and do not respond as well 

 or as quickly to the treatment as the turkeys. 



From Hawaii and Maui the deputy territorial veterinarians 

 report that it takes all their spare time and evenings to prepare 

 vaccine and inject it, but agree that the work is well worth while 

 on account of the good results obtained and the satisfaction it 

 causes their clients. 



GLANDERS ON HAWAII. 



Dr. A. R. Rowat, whose application for appointment as deputy 

 territorial veterinarian for the Kohala and Kona districts, on 



Hawaii, is before the Board, has reported one more case of glan- 

 ders, and his appointment is urgently recommended. 



The districts referred to are the only ones where this division 

 has never had a representative, and it seems but natural that any 

 glanders infection left on that island should make its appear- 

 ance there. When to this is added that a great many dairy cows 

 will have to be tuberculin tested in the near future, scattered over 

 a district nearly one hundred miles long, from the Hamakua to 

 the Kau line, it becomes manifest that the deputy in Hilo cannot 

 possibly attend to the whole island any longer. 



Respectfully submitted,
