REPORT OF THE BUREAU OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 293 



CACHE. Have no hog cholera in this county never had any don't want any. 

 Almost our entire loss among horses is caused by distemper. Cattle have been 

 affected with black leg and sheep with scab. 



DAVIS. We never had any hog cholera here. The only losses sustained among 

 any class of farm animals during the present year has been among sheep. 



EMERY. We can not learn of any cases of hog cholera in the county. 



IRON. No hog cholera known in this county. A number of young pigs have died, 

 but I do not know of what disease. 



KANE. Hog cholera has never been known here. No disease among hogs at all. 

 Have no knowledge of there ever being a sick hog in the county. No farm animals 

 are ever lost here by disease. 



MILLARD. We have had no hog cholera in our county. For a short time last spring 

 it looked as though black leg would carry off most of our young cattle, but it soon 

 stopped. Horses, sheep, and hogs are in good health. 



MORGAN. No cases of hog cholera have been reported this year. The disease has 

 never been bad enough to create any alarm. 



PIUTE. There is no disease among the hogs called cholera. Hogs are healthy as 

 a general thing. Sheep have been somewhat affected with scab, but no material 

 loss has occurred. 



SAN PETE. Hog cholera is not known in this county. During the past year horses 

 and cattle have been free from all diseases. Sheep are also free from disease. Graz- 

 ing principally upon the mountain ranges, they do not seem to contract disease. 



SEVIER. On inquiry, and so far as my observation extends, no disease exists in 

 this county either among horses, cattle, sheep, or hogs. The weather is quite severe 

 at the present time on stock on the ranges, but as yet none have been lost through 

 exposure. The people are better prepared to look after their stock by having good 

 stacks of straw, chaff, meadow hay, and lucerne. Animals will and do die occasion- 

 ally, but not because of any contagious disease prevailing. Better grades of cattle 

 are being introduced at considerable expense, mainly Holstein, but they are kept up 

 and housed and fed, and are well cared for. A thorough-bred Holstein bull cost about 

 a year ago, at one year old then, $250. 



UINTAH. There has never been to my knowledge a case of hog cholera in the 

 county. A few animals die occasionally from what is called black-tooth. Perhaps 

 a half dozen died during the year. Only two or three hogs are kept for a family in 

 this county. 



VERMONT. 



CALEDONIA. There is not to my knowledge any disease among hogs known as chol- 

 era. I have lost a few shoats, dying suddenly,f or whose death I could find no adequate 

 cause, being apparently quite w T ell and be dead within an hour. They would give a 

 terrific squeal and drop dead. The carcass would become putrid very soon. Some- 

 times all in a pen would die; again, only a portion would die. I have no means of 

 knowing what the disease was. It was not wide-spread only now and then an in- 

 stance of it. There has been no prevailing disease among live-stock during the year 

 in this county. 



ESSEX. There is no hog cholera in this county. All kinds of farm animals have 

 been unexceptionably healthy. 



LAMOILLE. No case of hog cholera has ever been known in this county, nor has 

 any other disease prevailed to any extent during the past year. 



WINDHAM. No contagious or epidemic diseases prevail among the cattle of this 

 county. Hog cholera is unknown here. 



VIRGINIA. 



ALBEMARLE. Hog cholera has been prevailing in this county for more than twenty 

 years past. There has not been so much during the last twelve months. I think 

 the disease is abating in this county. 



AMHERST. From old residents of the county I learn that the disease known as 

 hog cholera appeared some time before the war. How or when introduced none 

 can give any satisfactory answer. During 1887 there was no cholera in the county. 

 Sometimes a locality will be exempt for several years, and then again the disease 

 will prevail for two or three years, sometimes one year and then an intermission. 

 Every disease affecting the hog is called cholera, while the symptoms are often quite 

 different. From the best information I can gather hog cholera appeared in the 

 county about forty years ago. 



BATH. There have only been a few cases of a disease supposed to be hog cholera 

 in this county.
