in the past, has been done under the .supervision of Dr. Lang- 

 don Frothingham, at the Harvard Medical School. 



The reports of rendering companies, as required by section 

 111 of chapter 75 of the Revised Laws, as amended by chap- 

 ter 243 of the Acts of 1907, continue to be of much value in 

 furnishing information of cases of glanders or farcy, which 

 would not otherwise be called to the attention of the Chief of 

 the Cattle Bureau, as the following table illustrates : — 



Meports of Rendering Companies. 



There do not seem to be any suggestions or recommenda- 

 tions to be made in reference to the management of glanders 

 that have not been made in previous years. 



During the year men have been prosecuted for selling 

 glandered horses in Lawrence and Fitchburg. 



In Lawrence a man was convicted in the police court of sell- 

 ing a horse with glanders in the previous November, and fined 

 $100 ; he appealed, and the case is now slumbering peace- 

 fully ill the office of the clerk of the superior court for Essex 

 County, awaiting the pleasure of \\\q district attorney.
