The following table shows the distribution of glanders 

 throughout the State, and the increase or decrease from the 

 previous year in towns where it occurred. It will lie seen that 

 the State is practically free of the disease west of Worces-

 cases in Deerfield and Brimfield were in second-hand horses 

 brought up from Jersey City last spring by a trader in Deer- 

 field, and the case in North Adams came from Troy, X. Y.
