by tlie various diseases incirtent to them is estimated as follows : Horses, |6,000 ; cattle, 

 Bl,<)2n ; bogs, $42,750; sbeep, $64: fowls, $279. 



Lmcrence. — A few horses have died during the year of blind staggers. Dry murrain 

 has be«n very fatal to cattle in some localities. Hog cholera has prevailed, aud has 

 been very fatal along the large water-courses. Animals on the uplands have remained 

 healthy. 



Loudon. — No disease of fatal character has prevailed among any class of our domes- 

 tic animals the past year. Occasionally an animal dies, but not of a contagious dis- 

 ease.

 this county during the past year. I estimate the value of the losses among all classes 

 as follows : Horses, $7,500 ; cattle, $10,000 ; hogs, $20,000 ; sheep, $900 ; and fowls, $.3()0. 



Meigs. — All kinds of farm animals have been in good health the past year. There 

 has been some cholera among chickens, but I have no means of ascertaining the value 

 of the losses.

 Cholera has prevailed to a considerable extent among hogs and fowls. Value of hogs 

 lost, $6,000 ; fowls, $800.

 fowls, $820. 



Perry. — No disease of an epidemic character has prevailed among any class of farm 

 animals in this county the past year. Cholera has prevailed among fowls, but I can- 

 not give an accurate estimate of the value of the losses. 



Pickett. — No epidemic among either horses or cattle. Some hog cholera, but not of 

 an epidemic character. Not a great amount of disease among fowls.

 with cholera.

 animals in this county during the current year. There has been some disease among^ 

 sheep and also among fowls.

 past year. A few hogs in some localities have had cholera aud in others fowls have died 

 .of the same disease, but nothing like an epidemic has prevailed.

 the losses have been small.

 few horses have suffei'ed with what is known here as pink-eye, but no deaths have 

 resulted.

 the year, but the losses have been comparatively small. Chicken cholera is less 

 prevalent than usual. 



Washington. — Heavy losses have occurred among swine and poultry in this county,. 

 caused by the ravages of cholera. Farm animals generally have remained free from 

 fatal diseases.

 ease has not been general, I estimate the value of the lo.sses at about $8,000. Other 

 classes of farm animals have remained free from contagious diseases. 



Wilson. — Cholera has been very fatal to hogs, but I liave no means of ascertaining 

 the value of the losses. No special disease among other classes of stock.
