REPORT OF ASSISTANT VETERINARIAN. 



Honolulu, July 31. 191.r ' 



Dr. X'ictor A. Norgaard. Chief of Division of Animal Industry. 



Sir : — I have the honor to submit the following reports for the 

 months of June and July : 



• 



June. 



Titbcrciilosis Control. 



Work under tliis head was confined to the testing of 13 head of 

 Holstein cattle brought down from the Parker Ranch by Mr. 

 Isenberg. All passed the test. 



Hog Cholera. 



Ten trips of inspection were made as follows : Four to the 

 Lucas and Bellina ranches at Niu and Kuliouou ; five to Pond pig 

 farm beyond Schofield Barracks, and one trip to inspect the 

 Railroad ranch's pigs at Nanakuli. At the last-mentioned 

 place hog cholera has never existed, and the animals were found 

 in a healthy and very lively condition. 



The cholera situation on Bellina's and Pond's ranches appears 

 to be much improved, and we may say that these two outbreaks 

 are now under control. W'hile there is still plenty of room for 

 improvement in sanitation, the health of the animals is consider- 

 ably improved and all loss from cholera seems to be at an end.
