tions of cholera are reported in Clarendon, Barnwell, York, and New- 
berry Counties, South Carolina. In some cases a drove was relieved of 
the malady by changing fields. In York County symptoms of influ- 
enza, similar to epizooty, and followed by total blindness, was fatal in 
many eases. In Georgia cholera or distemper was light in Marion, 
Muscogee, Lumpkin, Wilkes, and Dooly Counties. In Jackson it was 
more severe, and no effective remedy was found. In Jefferson and Pike 
the loss was 5 per cent.; in Upson and Schley, 10 per cent.; in Gilmer, 
15 per cent.; in Brooks it amounted to one-third of the whole stock. In 
Pulaski 90 per cent. of the hogs were affected with “red rust,” proba- 
bly the disease known in other localities as “red mange.” 
In Madison County, Florida, the thumps and the cholera swept 20 per 
cent. of the stock; in Levy the thumps was considerably prevalent among 
pigs. In cases of recovery, nine out of ten die before the age of six months. 
Cholera was mild in Geneva, Jackson, Saint Clair, Marshall, Walker, 
and Calhoun Counties, Alabama. In Henry it was more severe, theloss 
amounting to 20 percent. The “red mange” was very severe in Walker 
and Wilcox, in some localities sweeping three-fourths of the hogs. In 
Bolivar, Lee, and Loundes Counties, Mississippi, losses from cholera 
were light. In Tunica they amounted to 10 per cent; in Coahoma to 15 
per cent. . In Lafayette, cholera and “red mange” carried off 25 per cent. 
The latter disease produced 25 per cent. more deaths than usual in Tish- 
emingo. In Jones County many died of kidney worms. Some cholera 
is reported in Morehouse, Avoyelles, and Bossier parishes, Louisiana ; 
in Tangipahoa the loss was 20 per cent.; in Cameron, charbon, cholera, 
and colds reduced the stock 40 per cent. In Upshur County, Texas, 
about two-thirds of the hogs on hand January 1, 1872, died during the 
year, while one-third the usual number of pigs were born. The quinsy 
was general; many had boils on the liver; others were injured by the 
kidney-worm. In Collins and Montgomery many were poisoned with 
cockle-burs. In Dallas and Atacosa some cholera prevailed, and in 
Marion it resulted in the death of about 25 per cent. of the stock. In 
Kaufman an influenza, resembling epizooty, destroyed 25 per cent. 
In Arkansas, so-called cholera was very destructive in several counties. 
Sebastian County lost 30 per cent.; Madison, 7,000 hogs; Cross, 33 per 
cent.; St. Francis, nearly all. In Clarke, cholera and red mange destroyed 
one-half, and in some loealities of Columbia three-fourths of the hogs. 
Itwas alsoreported in Randolph. In Hot Spring, kidney-worms combined 
with cholera to swell the heavy loss. Some animals on being killed were 
found permeated with worms. Heavy losses were experienced in dif- 
ferent counties of Tennessee: Loudon, 20 per cent.; Montgomery 15 
per cent.; Dyer, 50 per cent.; Jefferson, 20 per cent.; Henry, in some

Lincoln, Fayette, Campbell, Wayne, Grundy, Bedford, Jackson, Put- 
nam, Monroe, Hickman, Hamilton, Maury, Polk, Greene, Giles, Fent- 
ress, and Hancock. In some cases quinsy and pneumonia were trouble- 
some. The following from Gibson reports the disease somewhat at 
length: 
The fatality among the hogs during the past year has been very great, many farmers 
losing almost their entire stock and others nearly one-half. For want of a better 
name, the disease was usually termed “cholera,” though no symptoms of that disease 
were manifested in any of its stages. It first made its appearance in the latter part of
