322 CONTAGIOUS DISEASES OF DOMESTICATED ANIMALS. 



Kenton. — A great niauy cattle die every season of dry murrain. There Lave been 

 some losses by bog cholera. 



Knox. — Hogs died throughout this county the past j^ear of cholera. Other farm 

 animals have generallj^ been healthy. 



Lawrence. — Farm animals have been unusually healthj- the past year. Cholera has 

 prevailed to some extent among fowls, but it is impossible to give the number that 

 have died. 



Letcher. — No disease of consequence has prevailed among farm animals in this 

 county. A few hogs and fowls have died of the so-called cholera. 



Leivis. — In some localities whole herds of hogs have been swept away by cholera. 

 There have been some losses among other classes of animals, but they have not been 

 heavy. 



Lincoln. — I presume that 10 per cent, of all our hogs annually die of cholera. 

 Great numbers of fowls also die annually of a like disease. 



JUadison. — An occasional case of pink-eye among horses is reported. Cholera pre- 

 vails among swine and jioultry. When cholera attacks hogs (and it has been more 

 prevalent than usual), it affects most of the herds, and 50 per cent, or more die. 



Martin. — Hog cholera is the most destructive stock disease known here. Other 

 classes of animals are healthy. 



McLean. — The loss of hogs in this county has not been so great the past year as 

 usual. Just now I hear of no corai>laint. The disease did its work during the months 

 of July and August. A few cases of pink-eye have occurred among horses. 



Menifee. — The disease prevailing among hogs here seems to be unknown. Some call 

 it cholera and others pronounce it sore throat, caused by the faulty mast. 



Mercer. — A large number of all classes of farm animals have been lost by the vari- 

 ous diseases to which they are subject during the jiast year. I will state that more 

 sheep were killed by dogs than were lost by disease. 



Monroe. — No epidemic among either horses, cattle, or sheep. Hog cholera j)revails 

 in some localities in the county, as does also chicken cholera. 



Montgomery. — No disease of any kind among domestic animals or fowls in this county 

 the past year or in 1882. 



Miihlenhurg. — After consultation with farmers in different parts of the county, I find 

 that all classes of farm animals are in a healthy condition. No disease in 1882. 



Nicholas. — Horses and cattle are healthy. Some little cholera among hogs, but not 

 much, say 2 per cent, of disease, of which 1 per cent. die. Cholera prevails to some 

 extent among fowls. 



Owen. — We have no disease among our farpi stock worthy of note. 

 Oivsley. — No disease among stock. Something like cholera or roupe prevails among 

 fowls. About all that are attacked by the disease die. No remedy appears to do any 

 good. The fowls frequently drop off the roost dead. 



Fike. — Horses are afflicted with distemper, bots, and colic, cattle with murrain, 

 quinsy, and sore throat, hogs with quinsy and occasionally cholera, and fowls with 

 cholera. 



Boherison.—l have no gen&ral or fatal disease to report as affecting farm animals in 

 this county. 



Bock Castle. — No prevailing disease among horses, cattle, or sheep. Some hog cholera 

 prevails; perhaps 2 per cent, of the animals iu the county have been attacked. 



Russell. — Hogs have been affected in a few localities by swine-plague. A like dis- 

 ease has been more general among fowls. 



Scott. — We have no prevailing disease among our farm animals except cholera among 

 hogs. Fowls are also afflicted with a similar disease. 



Shelby.— Hogs valued at between $7,000 and $8,000 have been lost by cholera during 

 the year. A number of fowls have died of the same disease. 



Taylor. — Wo have no losses to report among our farm stock by disease of a conta- 

 gious character.
