HOG CHOLERA. 



No outbreak of this disease has been reported during the past 

 month. A visit was made to one of the largest piggeries in the 

 vicinity of Honolulu, but while a few shoats were noticed to be 

 coughing, assurance was given that no hogs had been lost and 

 that serum was applied regularly to all young pigs, a week or ten 

 days after birth, and again at the time of weaning. 



CONTROL OF RABIES. 



A circular letter addressed to all steamship and transportation 

 companies having offices here, and calling attention to the spread 

 of rabies among dogs, coyotes and wolves in the Pacific Coast 

 States, was sent out during the month. A number of replies call- 

 ing for additional circulars, posters and copies of the printed regu- 

 lation (Rule VI, Division of Animal Industry) have been re- 

 ceived, and assurances given of said companies' cooperation in the 

 efforts of this Board to keep the disease out of the Territory. 



Six dogs arrived during the month, five of which were sent to 

 quarantine, while the one coming from Australia was allowed 

 entry without restriction, Australia being free from rabies.
