308 CONTAGIOUS DISEASES OF DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. 



Taylor. — All I have been able to learn is that a few horses have died of blind stag, 

 gers, and some hogs have died of cholera. There is but little farm stock in this 

 county. 



GEORGIA. 



Baldwin. — We have more mules than horses in this county. The only deaths among 

 either class have been caused by colic. No epidemic has occurred. There have been 

 but very few cases of cholera among hogs. No disease among cattle to cause serious 

 loss ; a few deaths here and there. 



Brools. — Horses, cattle, and sheep have been generally healthy. For the past eight 

 or ten years our hogs and chickens have died at a rapid rate from cholera. 



BHrJcf. — Only one epidemic of glanders among horses has been reported during the 

 past eighteen mouths. The disease was brought from 20 miles west of here, and was 

 contiued to one public stable. Cattle and sheep have been healthy. About one-half 

 of the hogs and two-thirds of all the fowls in the county have been lost during the 

 year by the cholera. 



Camden. — Neither horses, cattle, sheep, nor hogs have been aflected by contagious 

 diseases the past year. Cholera has destroyed a great many fowls. 



Camphell. — No destructive disease has visited any class of our domestic animals or 

 fowls during the current year. 



Carroll. — I am unable to hear of the prevalence of any epidemic disease among farm 

 animals in this county the past year. Cholera has prevailed among fowls, but to no 

 great extent. 



Catoosa. — Hog cholera has been simply awful in this county this ypar. No remedy 

 was efficient, bui preventive measures were somewhat serviceable. Our hogs have 

 been singularly exempt from disease heretofore, but we have been scourged at last. 



Charlton. — A few horses have been lost the past year by the usual diseases. The 

 greatest and only loss from contagious or epidemic diseases has been among hogs, 

 caused by the disease known as cholera. 



Chalham. — No disease of an epidemic character has existed among any class of farm 

 animals in this county during the year just closing. 



Chattooga. — Horses and cattle have been unusually healthy the past year. A few 

 hogs have died from what was thought to be a mild type of cholera, but the disease 

 was not marked with its usual malignancy and fatality. 



Cobb. — The total loss of farm animals and fowls from disease in this countj' the past 

 year will aggregate about $5,000. There has been no extensive outbreak of disease 

 except among hogs and fowls, and among these the destruction has not been so great 

 as in many former years. 



Coffee. — A few horses have died the past season of staggers. Cattle have been healthy, 

 though some have died from poverty and neglect. Hogs have been afflicted with 

 cholera, but the losses have not been heavy. 



Colquitt. — There have been no losses among farm animals this year except from 

 common casualties, old age, &c. 



Dade. — I think $1,000 will cover all the losses of farm animals in this county the 

 I»ast year from the various diseases to which they are subject. 



Daivson. — There have been a less number of deaths among horses and mules the past 

 year than usual. The same cau be said of cattle. Hog cholera has been very fatal 

 in some portions of the county, but the disease has not prevailed generally. But 

 little attention is jiaid to the raising of sheep. 



Dooly. — Not a case of contagious disease has occurred among farm animals in this 

 county the past year so far as I am able to learn. Sheep have suffered to some extent 

 from dogs. 



Early. — I estimate the value of the losses among the principal classes of farm ani- 

 mals as follows for the current year : Horses, $2,500 ; cattle, $500 ; hogs, $1,000.
