seven or eight cows died; only one sick cow recovered. One 
outbreak of black-leg in calves, where four or five died, and 
an outbreak of contagious pneumonia in a herd of 46 pigs, 
and from which 26 died in three weeks. This vear I have 
also found about fourteen or fifteen cases of tuberculosis 
amongst the dairy cows in the dairies which supply milk to 
the city.” 
WEST VIRGINIA. 
Report of Dr. Wm. Petrie, of Wheeling: 
“We have no State veterinarian, and the only reports of 
diseases in animals is by farmers to the State Board of Agri¬ 
culture. The diseases most frequently mentioned are dis¬ 
temper in horses, and parturient apoplexy in cows. These 
two maladies cause great losses every year to the stock owner. 
“ So far there has been no report of glanders, but there is 
no doubt that it exists in some sections. Tuberculosis is 
common in many dairies, but I cannot give any idea of the 
per cent, of cattle that are affected.” 
WYOMING. 
Dr. A. A. Holcombe, of Cheyenne, reports the discovery 
during the last year of four cases of glanders; two outbreaks 
of black-leg ; no tuberculosis. 
WISCONSIN. 
Dr. J. L. Scott, of Beaver Dam, writes: 
“Since I have entered upon the duties of this office. Feb. 
7th, 1895, I have condemned 25 horses with glanders. These 
have been found chiefly in the northwestern part of the State. 
There has been probably about 50 cases of actinomycosis re¬ 
ported to me in various parts of the State. Outbreaks of 
anthrax have occurred in the region around Green Bay, and 
on a farm near Horicon. At Green Bay it occurred on 
several farms. In all there has been in the neighborhood of 
200 head of cattle lost from this disease. Hog cholera was 
quite prevalent in the northwesthern part of the State in the 
spring, but no cases have been reported lately. There is no 
means of determining the percentage of tuberculosis in cattle, 
but from what I have seen I believe it will fall below five 
per cent.’’
