From the above tabulated list it will be seen that a total of 727 

 head of cattle were tested, out of which number 700 were passed 

 and tagged and 27 condemned and branded. Of the 27 con- 

 demned cows, 14 have already been slaughtered. The remaining 

 ones are segregated awaiting slaughter. 



Two trips of inspection were made to the Wahiawa slaughter- 

 house. This slaughter-house has for some time been buying up 

 cattle condemned at different dairies. Permission was granted 

 to slaughter these condemned animals at Wahiawa provided that 

 such animals be kept in an enclosure sufficiently isolated to pre- 

 vent all possible spread of infections and that the carcasses re- 

 ceived competent inspection before being sold for human con- 

 sumption. 



The abattoir occupies an isolated position, there being no cattle 

 pastured anywhere near it, and, if properly handled, will provide 

 a convenient means of disposing of cattle condemned in the dif- 

 ferent dairies. At the time of the last inspection some irregu- 

 larities were noticed which were at once brought to the atten- 

 tion of the manager and have since been rectified. 



HOG CHOLERA. 



Reports of losses from hog cholera have entirely ceased and 

 it is confidently assumed that this last and severest outbreak has 

 been checked. With an intelligent and liberal use of anti-hog 

 cholera serum such losses need never to be experienced again. It 

 is to be hoped that experience gained by the different hog raisers 

 during this outbreak will induce them and all others in the busi- 

 ness to report immediately any symptoms among their herds 

 which in any way approach those of hog cholera. 



Two official inspections were made at Pond's pig farm, where 

 conditions appear to be greatly improved. All losses which can 

 in any way be attributed to hog cholera have ceased, larger lit- 

 ters are being farrowed, and a greater percentage of the young 

 are being raised, which last is due to more intelligent feeding of 

 the sows at farrowing time and greater care of the young at 

 time of birth.
