NEWS AND SUNDRIES. 
Disease in Michigan. —A dispatch from Detroit last Satur¬ 
day stated that “ Meat-inspector Sullivan says there has not been 
a case of Texas or splenic fever among the cattle of Detroit. He 
has examined nearly all the cases of reported sickness, and pro¬ 
nounces them simply 4 red water,’ which is a malady resultant 
from the severe drought. About one-half of the meat eaten in 
Detroit is Texas beef.”— Nat. Live Stock Jour. 
Contagious Diseases in Illinois. —Word comes from 
Quincy, Ill., that “ Texas fever developed in a herd of 250 cattle, 
pastured south of here. It is supposed to have been introduced 
by a car-load of western cattle received August 25th. Thirteen 
native cows have died, several are missing, and others are sick. 
A strict quarantine has been established.” 
It is stated that “ hog cholera is becoming a very serious 
thing in Henry County, Ill. The disease exists in Kewanee, 
Asco, Loraine, Edford, Phenix, Andover, and Wethersfield town¬ 
ships. Thousands of dollars’ worth of hogs have died, and far¬ 
mers in Kewanee and Wethersfield townships, where the disease 
is of a more virulent nature, are losing hogs at the rate of from 
ten to twenty head a day”.— Nat. Live Stock Jour. 
Foot and Mouth Disease. —A dispatch from Dakota last 
Thursday, stated that “ health officers who examined the diseased 
cattle at Richardson say that suspicious symptoms attacked two 
herds. They point to foot-and-mouth disease. The doctors say 
there is no pleuro-pneumonia. Local stockmen are excited. The 
affected cattle are scattered over several miles of territory. Ef¬ 
forts will be made to keep the malady from spreading,”— Nat.

Territorial Veterinary Surgeon. —Dr. A. J. Chandler, of 
Detroit, Michigan, has been appointed Territorial Veterinary 
Surgeon of Arizona. Dr. Chandler is a graduate of the Montreal 
School of Veterinary Surgery, and has had a very extensive and 
successful practice in Michigan for many years, which he is now 
forced to relinquish on account of ill health, which he believes he 
can escape in a less rigorous climate.
