CONTAGIOUS DISEASES OF DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. 311 



Adams. — "With the exceptiou of a few eases of pink-eye iu horses, no disease of a se- 

 rious character has prevailed among au^' cLass of domestic animals iu this county the 

 past year. 



Boone. — During tlie past year all kinds of farm animals have remained very healthy. 

 The only disease worthy of note is chlckeu cholera. This has been very fatal iu many 

 cases. No remedy is known. 



Carroll. — The largest stock-shipper iu the county informs me that he has never 

 known a time wheu all kinds of farm animals were sk free from disease as at present. 

 I give the losses for the year as follows : Horses, §12,847; cattle, $11,131 ; liogs, .$4,463 ; 

 sheep, $604. 



Christian. — About 5 per ceut. of the horses and cattle of this county are auuually 

 lost by sickness, accidents, &c. Twenty-five per ceut. of the hogs and 25 per cent, of 

 the fowls of the county generally die of some disease incident to them. 



C7arA;.— 'The assessor's returns for this county give the value of the losses of farm 

 animals for the past year as follows: Horses, $ir),718; cattle, $4,291; hogs, $5,205; 

 sheep, $1,372. 



Clinton. — The following is tlie most nccurate estimate I can give of the value of the 

 losses among farm animals in this county for the past year, viz : Horses, $15,669; 

 cattle, $4,969; hogs, $7,098; sheep, $1,392 ; fowls, $384. 



Crawford. — Many hogs have died of so-called cholera. Losses of all classes of do- 

 mestic animals for the year: Horses, $1,325; cattle, $5,000; hogs, $18,900; sheep, 

 $3,600. 



Cumberland. — Farm auiuuils have beeu iu better health the past year than usual. 

 I think the following estimate will cover the value of losses among all classes as well 

 as fowls : Horses, $8,000 ; cattle, $450 ; hogs, $5,000 ; sheep, $2,000 ; fowls, $400. There 

 has beeu some distemper among horses. 



De Ealb. — Farm animals havti enjoyed remarkably good health this year. I think the 

 aggregate value of the losses will not exceed $4,000. 



Edgar. — Colic, bots, distemper, &c., occasionally cause the death of a horse. There 

 is no general disease among cattle and but little among hogs. The following is an 

 estimate of the value of the losses among the various classes : Horses, $12,000 ; cattle, 

 $5,000; hogs, $3,000; sheep, $300; fowls, $1,000. 



Edwards. — Hogs to the value of $8,000 or $9,000 have beeu lost the past year by 

 farmers of this county. A few horses and cattle have also died of diseases incident to 

 them. 



Franklin. — Aside from the ravages caused by hog cholera, I have no losses to record 

 among other farm animals. The value of the losses caused by the above disease will 

 reach $3,000. 



Fulton. — Hog cholera prevails iu the county, and mauy cases have terminated fatally. 

 No other class of animals seems to be seriously atiected. 



Gallatin. — Perhaps 100 head of horses have died in this county of fistula. Cattle 

 have beeu extremely healthy. Murrain and mad-itch have probablj^ caused the 

 death of 50 head. Some cholera has prevailed among hogs, from which about 700 head 

 have died. 



Grundy. — All classes of farm animals and poultry have been exceedingly healthy 

 the past year. The losses by infectious and contagious diseases will not exceed one 

 per cent, iu either class. 



Henri). — Some horses and cattle have been lost by accident and disease. Hogs are 

 healthier tluiu last year, though the value of our losses for the current year will reach 

 $15,000. Cholera has swept off fowls to the value of $1,500. 



Jefferson. — The only loss of consei(uence among our farm stock has occurred among 

 hogs. I suppose $4,000 or $5,000 will cover tlie loss of these animals. 



Jersey. — The assessors for this county make the foli»)wiug returns of the value of
