DIVISION OF ANIMAL INDUSTRY. 
REPORT OF TERRITORIAL VETERINARIAN, SEPTEMBER, 1922. 
October 12, 1922. 
Board of Commissioners of Agriculture and Forestry, 
Honolulu, T. H. 
Gentlemen: — I have the honor to submit the following report on the 
work of this Division for the month of September: 
TUBERCULOSIS CONTROL. 
For a detailed report on this work, you are referred to the appended 
report of my assistant. The testing was confined principally to inter- 
island shipments of cattle and importations from the Coast. 
INFECTIONS AND CONTAGIOUS DISEASES. 
No reports of outbreaks of infectious and contagious diseases among 
live stock, occurring in any part of the Territory, have reached this 
office. 
The major part of the past month was taken up with the inspection 
of piggeries in different parts of this island. A comprehensive inspec- 
tion of such places is being made and so far 126 such places have been 
visited and a total of/ 7480 head of hogs examined. Notes were taken 
on the health of the animals and general sanitary condition of the 
premises. This survey, which has been carried out far enough for the 
present, will be made the subject of a special report in which, methods 
of control will be discussed in full and an outline of policy in regard 
to the control of outbreaks of disease among swine will be submitted. 
Suffice it for the present to say, that not one sick pig was seen in 
the districts covered, every one of the 7480 head being in Al condition 
and this, under conditions of filth and lack of sanitation, which sur- 
prised even me, familiar as I am with general conditions throughout the 
island. To introduce hog cholera virus among these hogs with the idea 
of protecting them against some hypothetical infection, would be the 
height of folly. 
WATER-FRONT INSPECTION AND LIVE STOCK IMPORTATIONS.

89 vessels during the month, the following of which carried live stock
