Rabies. — No case of Rabies has occurred in any part of Great Britain 

 since tlie 7tli June last. The whole of the restrictions imposed by the 

 Berkshire and District (Muzzling and Control of Dogs) Orders of 1920 and 

 1921 were withdrawn as from 1st October, no case of Rabies having occurred 

 in that area since the 1st February. This area included portions of Berkshire, 

 Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and the northern part of Hampshire. There is 

 now only one area remaining subject to restrictions on account of Rabies, viz., 

 an area comprising small parts of Hampshire and Wiltshire surrounding 

 Salisbury, Winchester and Southampton. All dogs in this area must still be 

 muzzled, and no dog can be moved out of the area without a licence from 

 the Ministry. 



West Surrey Goat Club. — The attention of the Ministry- has been 

 ■called by Mr. T. W. Palmer, hon. secretary to the British Goat Society, to the 

 note on the West Surrey Goat Club which was published in the September 

 issue of the Journal (p. 565). in which it was stated that one of the goats 

 *' had given on the day of the show over 81b. of milk." This appears to be an 

 understatement, as Mr. Palmer points out that the goat referred to gave 81b. 

 of milk at one milking, and during the 24 hours gave 121b. 12oz. Other 

 Tecords during the 24 hours were as follows : — 101b. 14oz., 101b. 4oz.. and 

 101b. respectively, while there were seven goats which yielded more than 91b. 

 "but less than 101b. each."'
