500 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. [P. D. No. 4. 



Where room allows, the diseased should be separated 

 from the healthy, and empty pens where sick pigs have 

 been should be thoroughly disinfected before being used 

 again. 



The other ten outbreaks reported proved to be cases of 

 swine plague, sporadic pneumonia, or ill condition due to 

 neglect. 



This concludes the report of the year's work. Some 

 seasons miscellaneous diseases have been reported, which 

 the Board has investigated because they were supposed to 

 be contagious, but the year 1901 was conspicuous for the 

 absence of any of these occurrences. 



Respectfully submitted, 



AUSTIN PETERS, Chairman, 

 LEANDER F. HERRICK, Secretary, 

 CHARLES A. DENNEN, 



Board of Cattle Commissiojiers.
