Tt was known that pleuro-pneumonia existed to a considerable ex- — 
| tent in the District of Columbia within the last three or four years, ie 
is) 
- but the inspections and supervision of the inspectors of the Bureau 
_ of Animal Industry, together with the activity of the health depart-- he 
ment, led to its disappearance. To determine definitely asto whether 
the contagion was still affecting any herds, the Commissioners of the — 
District, at the request of the Commissioner of Agriculture, issued | Be 
an order authorizing the inspectors of the Bureau to make an exam- Sa ip | 
ination of all cattle in the District. The inspectors were at once a 
.. placed in the field, and have gone over the whole District, examining = 
carefully all the cattle that were found. Their reports show the in- t ae 
‘spection of 798 herds, containing 3,268 animals, in none of which eS 
was pleuro-pneumonia found. As a careful inquiry has also been ae 
made in the counties of Maryland which adjoin the District without. > — 
. discovering the plague, it may be safely concluded that this section 
is now free from it. ie, eee 
> VIRGINIA. Shae 
A thorough inspection has also been made during the year in those eY 
-~ parts of Virginia where pleuro-pneumonia has been reported in past AT 
q years. The inspections covered the careful examination of 3,753 — 
head cattle contained in 353 different herds. In none of these Was 
the ah ague discovered. 
ithin a few days a large herd has been reported as affected, and Nas 
a single post-mortem examination indicates that the disease is pleuro- <af De 
neumonia, though a further investigation will be made before a _ acs 
ecision is reached. 4
