 tagious of all diseases of live stock and may be trans- 

 mitted in more ways than any other. The tabulation fol- 

 lowing, which was prepared July 29, 1915, will show how 

 this disease was spread according to information secured 

 direct from the owners of diseased herds by the veter- 

 inary inspectors engaged in the work of eradication.
