WiNN^— It  is  thought  that  hog  c^iolera  was  first  started  here  by  bringing  in  fine  stock
hogs  from  the  Noith.  The  (tisease  appeared  in  1378.  Hogs  died  very  rapidly  here  in
188cb-*H6  of  cholei'a*  They  are  dying  oi  the  disease  in  f he  northeaster^  portion  of  our
parish  xu)Yf\  No  contagious  disease  ha$  prevailed  amoj^g  any  other  clasp  of  stock
during  the  year.

AlftOoa'fOOK. — Thei«  never  has  been  a  case  of  hog  cholera  in  this  county  to  my
kaoMrla^ge.  No  epidaavic  disease  l^as  prevailed  among  any  class  of  fari^  ftHJUV^fe

OuMBEUEU^A^D.— do  far-  as  J  oaa  learn,  after  diligent  inal^ry « there  are  uo  cases  of
hc^  cholera  in  this  county,  aud  have  beeu  noqie  auring  the  year*

KHNNisB^c.-^Hog  cholara  made  its  appearance  first  in  ti^is  county  iu  the  year
187d»  when  a  few  scattering  cases  ocouri*^*  Not  many  deaths  have  ever  occurred
from  this  disease.  We  think  that  many  of  the  cases  were  i^ot  really  the  gepid^^
hofc  cholera.  We  think  that  the  gr^  cases  were  those  that  took  place  at  the  Marine
Insane  Qospitalt  from  imported  Chester  swine,  bought  for  breeding  purposes.  A.
