On the 27th a call came from the Huchue Ranch, where it was found 
that an outbreak of hemorrhagic septicemia had occurred the previous 
day, with five cases and three deaths. All stock in the infected paddock, 
131 head in all, were vaccinated and the two sick ones given the serum 
treatment. A later report from this ranch was to the etfect that no 
new cases had developed and that the sick animals were progressing 
in a favorable w^ay. 
MAUI 
Dr. Fitzgerald reports as follows: 
Hemorrhagic Septicemia — The past month has been devoted almost 
entirely to visits to the different ranches on which hemorrhagic septi- 
cemia has been prevalent, making examinations of cattle and perform- 
ing autopsies on everything reported dead, so that there could be no 
possible chance of the disease getting out of hand. Some 680 head of 
young stock have been vaccinated and the pastuires where the disease 
has occurred are being constantly watched. This disease has played a 
very serious part in its ravages this year, even though all in-contact 
animals have been vaccinated after the first death and the balance of 
the herd vaccinated as soon as possible afterwards. Mr. Rice's herd 
has suffered to the extent of 10 per cent of the calf crop up to date, 
although the most rigid methods have been adopted and a great amount 
of conscientious work done by the management toward the suppression 
of the disease. 
Tuberculosis Control — Owing to the considerable amount of w^ork 
being done in connection with the control of hem.orrhagic septicemia, 
the tuberculosis control work has had to be abandoned for the present. 
KAUAI 
Dr. Golding reports as follows; 
Tuberculosis Control — During the past month a total of 282 head of 
cattle were tested in 18 different dairies, out of which number 275 were 
passed and seven condemned and branded. These seven have since been 
slaughtered and positive lesions of tuberculosis demonstrated in each 
case. 
Hemorrhagic Septicemia — No cases of bovine hemorrhagic septicemia 
have occurred on the island of Kauai during the past month. The hog 
situation at Makaweli is apparently under complete control owing to 
effi-cient measures of quarantine and sanitation. Under date of May 
15th Dr. Golding states as follows: 
"Have heard nothing further regarding the hog cholera situation at 
Makaweli and am hoping that no further foci of infection will crop up." 
In the same letter he states that a number of cases of strangles or 
distemper have occurred among the young horses at Grove Farm. These 
cases have been isolated and treated and a general clean-up of the 
premises effected. No new cases have so far developed and no deaths 
reported.
