among cattle. Hogs seem to bave been liealtliier than usual. Some fowl cbolera pre- 

 vails, but to wbat extent I am unable to say. 



Preble. —The loss of bogs in tbis county bas been quite heavy, and Avill amount in 

 value to $3"2,524. There does not seem to bave been any unusual epidemic among 

 tbis or any other class of farm stock, and the aggregate loss for the year is about an 

 average. Fowl cholera bas prevailed quite extensively. 



Setieca. — The loss among bogs in this county is estimated at $10,000. The diseases 

 atfecting those animals are cbolera, thumps, staggers, and rheumatism. Fowl cbolera 

 visits us with unwelcome regularity. The value of the losses for the year will reach 

 ^5,000. 



Stark. — We bave had no special or very fatal diseases among our farm animals for 

 the past year. The losses are therefore only nominal. 



Trumbull. — No epidemics bave prevailed among our farm animals during the year. 



Tuscaraicas. — All classes of domestic animals are free from contagious and infec- 

 tious diseases. 



Union. — A great many animals of all classes bave died during the past year of dis- 

 eases incident to them. Among the horses lost were several very valuable imported 

 ones. The losses among the various classes are given thus : Horses, $12,760 ; cattle, 

 $4,100 ; bogs, $25,709 ; sheep, |9,994. 



Vinton. — There seems to be no complaint as regards the health of domestic animals 

 in this county. Isolated cases of fowl cholera are reported. 



Warren. — I bear of the prevalence of no epidemic except that known as cholera 

 among hogs and fowls. The value of the hogs lost in the county will reach |18,000 

 and upwards, and of chickens about $250. 



Wayne. — The present year has been remarkable for the good health of all classes of 

 farm stock. 



Wood. — I hear of no epidemic disease except cholera among fowls. Our losses bave 

 been quite heavy from this disease ; will amouut in value to $1,500.

 fatal in any case that I have heard of. A few cases of black-leg in calves bave occurred. 



Benton. — But few animals bave died from the effects of disease in tbis county the 

 current year, and those that have been lost have died of the usual well-known dis- 

 eases. 



Clackamas. — The only disease worthy of note among any class of farm animals bas 

 been among horses. They are afflicted with enlargement of the kidneys, which seems 

 to cause the bots to leave the stomach and go to the throat. Some cases bave proved 

 fatal. There have also been some cases of blind-staggers among horses. 



Clatrop. — Five per cent, of the sheep of this county are usually lost by disease. 

 About one-third of tbis number die from the effects of the water-leech. 



Columbia. — No epidemic disease bas prevailed among any class of live stock in tbis 

 county during the past six years. Our bogs are mostly of the old long-nosed breed, 

 aind hunt their living until they are wanted for fattening purposes. 



Curry. — Some flocks of sheep are affected with scab, but the disease rarely proves 

 fatal. All other classes of farm animals are in a remarkably healthy condition.

 the few we have are in a healthy condition. 



Lane. — Since 1881 the horses in this county have suffered seriously, and often fa-

 j;landers. Tlie symptoms are a swelling under the jaw and a free discharge at the
