DELAWARE. 



The only information I have as to the prevalence of the disease in 

 Delaware I received in the course of a conversation with ]\Ir. George 

 G. Lobdell, president of the Wilmington Car-wheel Company. His 

 farm is located in Newcastle Hundred, about two miles from Wilming- 

 ton. In 1858 he had a valuable herd of animals. During this year con- 

 tagious pleuro-pueumonia broke out ampng some cattle on a farm about 

 three miles from his place. Fearing the infection of his herd, he com- 

 menced to sell off his cattle as he could find purchasers, but before this 

 was accomplished, and j^erhaps within four months, it reached his farm, 

 and by spring he had but one animal left. For two years after this he 

 was without cattle, but at this time he commenced to stock his farm 

 again. About six years ago the disease was introduced into a herd 

 kept on a farm about two miles from his place. His own cattle re- 

 mained exempt until about two years ago, when tliey were again infected. 

 Since then he has been using the fumes of burning sulphur, and has 

 had no fatal cases. Mr. Lobdell informed me that some sort of a law 

 had been passed by the State looking to a suppressioTi of the disease, 

 and that three commissioners had been appointed by the governor to 

 superintend and enforce its provisions.
