(From the July Bulletin of the Department of Agriculture , Statistics and 
Health, Manitoba , Canada.) 
u Live stock appear to be almost free from disease. With the 
exception of glanders among horses, which unhappily prevails in 
a few isolated cases, nothing has been reported. During the 
winter cattle were troubled in a few places with a swelling on the 
jaw r s, but that all passed away with opening of spring and nothing 
has been reported at this writing as ailing them. A number of 
farmers lost their sows and litters, the cause being attributed to 
overfeeding before pigging. There being large quantities of 
wheat of an inferior quality on hand in many places it was largely 
used as feed and instead of feeding sparingly the reverse appears 
to have been the case, and the many deaths which occurred among 
hogs was the result. The country possesses many young and in¬ 
experienced farmers who will have to make their calling a study 
in every respect if they expect to get on and prosper. 
“The operations of the Veterinary Sanitary Service of the 
Department during June were confined to horses, no cases of 
infectious or contagious disease among any other animals having 
been reported to district veterinarians. During the month district 
veterinarians paid thirty-five visits of inspection, nineteen being 
first visits and sixteen periodical. The time occupied in these 
inspections was thirty days, 1023 miles being travelled, 854 by 
road and 169 by rail. The number of horses inspected during 
first visits was thirty-eight. Fifteen horses were condemned as 
affected with glanders or farcy and were destroyed; twelve were 
quarantined on suspicion of being affected with glanders or farcy. 
No cases of mange were reported. Of the fifteen cases of glan¬ 
ders or farcy destroyed Brandon, Lisgar and Selkirk counties had 
three each; D’Iberville two, and Manchester, Portage la Prairie, 
Souris River and Dutferin one each.
