diseases. The value of the losses for the year are about as follows: Horses, $4,500; 

 cattle, $5,000; hogs, $3,300; sheep, $2,400; fowls, $4,000. 



Wayne. — No destructive disease seems to have prevailed among auy class of farm 

 animals in this county the past year. 



Wyoming. — No fatal disease has prevailed among any of our farm animals this year* 

 Yates. — Pink-eye has prevailed to some extent among our horses, but in rather a 

 mild form. Chicken cholera prevails in this locality, and seems to be very conta- 

 gious. Turkeys are occasionally attacked and die. It is plainly a disease of the 

 bowels. Some seasons the value of the losses in this county will reach $1,000. 



NORTH CAROLINA. 



Alexander, — There has been no prevalent disease among farm stock in this county 

 the past year, and no data upon which to base an opinion as to the number of aui^pals 

 that have been attacked and died within the year. 



Alamance. — I have no diseases to report as prevailing among our farm animals at 

 present. There has been no hog cholera this season. About 75 lier cent, of the ani- 

 mals die when it prevails. 



Ashe. — None other than the common well-known diseases have prevailed during the 

 year among the live-stock of this county. 



Carteret. — The losses from diseases among domestic animals have been comparatively 

 small in this county the current year. 



Caswell. — A few hogs and fowls have died during the year of diseases incident to 

 them. 



Clay. — Cholera has prevailed among the hogs and fowls of this county to a limited 

 extent during the year. Horses, cattle, and sheep have remained healthy. 



Columbus. — Farm animals are generally healthy, at least no contagious disease 

 prevails among any class, except among hogs. They are afflicted with cholera, as 

 are also our fowls. We have found no remedy for this disease. 



Cuviberland. — With the exception of hogs, all our domestic animals seem to have 

 been very healthy the past year. Some years the loss is very heavy among these 

 animals. 



Dane. — A number of horses along the beach have died of blind-staggers. Cattle, 

 hogs, and sheep have been very healthy. A great many sheep have been killed by 

 dogs. 



Davidson. — Several of our farmers havelost their hogs— almost their entire stock — 

 by a disease which carried them off very rapidly. They broke out in boils which had 

 a very offensive odor. The animals only lived about 36 hours after the attack was 

 noticed. So offensive were the tumors that the buzzards were attracted while the 

 animals were yet living. The boils could be penetrated to a depth of an inch or more. 



Forsyth. — There have been no fatal diseases among our farm animals during the 

 year. A great many fowls have died of cholera. 



Franklin. — The only loss of any importance among any class of our farm animals 

 during the year has been among hogs by the usual diseases incident to these animals. 



Gaston. — A few horses and cattle have died of disease during the past year, but not 

 many. Hogs are the most unhealthy of all classes of farm stock. They die mostly of 

 cholera. A great many fowls are also lost by cholera. 



Gates. — I am unable to furnish the information desired in your circular. 



Greene. — Since the enactment of the stock law diseases among farm animals are not 

 so prevalent. We have had a few cases of cholera among hogs, but the disease has 

 not been widespread as in former years. 



Halifax. — All kinds of farm animals have been free from disease, and the losses 

 during the year amount to but little. Occasionally cholera appears among our 

 fowls. 



Harnett. — Cholera has been quite fatal among our hogs. At least one-half of those 

 attacked have died.
