Glanders in Maine. —From the reports of the Commis- 
sioneis on Contagious Diseases of Animals in the State of Maine, 
it appears that glanders and farcy have been increasingly preva¬ 
lent during the year 1888, and that the matter has been considered 
sufficiently serious to attract official notice, and to justify the 
establishment of a special prohibitory quarantine. 
The following order explains the condition of things: 
“ Public 4 notice is hereby given that in consequence of the 
prevalence of glanders and farcy among the Texas mustangs, or 
broncho horses, brought into Maine and sold to the number of 
2,900 during the season of 1887, no more broncos will be allowed 
to be landed or exposed for sale in the State until further 
notice.” 
The same report states also the interesting fact that only three 
cases of tuberculosis have developed during the year, out of the 
whole number inspected. 
The report further says that glanders does not prevail among 
horses in the State, and intimates a strong probability that the 
cases which have been developed among them are the result of 
inoculation from horses brought into the commonwealth from 
abroad. 
A few cases of abortion in cattle are also reported.
