a paper on the prevalence of hog cholera in that commonwealth. 
He stated that 500,000 hogs died of that disease in Indiana in 
1899. The second day the chief subject of discussion was 
Texas fever. A resolution was adopted providing for the ap 
pointment of a committee from each State through which the

mended that the United States Department of Agriculture

the various States interested act in accordance therewith. A 
further resolution was passed favoring the enactment of such 
federal laws as will put a stop to the transmission of diseases of 
live stock through the channels of interstate trade. Col. C. P.
