EiXsivoRTH.— The  first  appearance  of  hog  cholera  occurred  in  1883.  It  has  never
been  as  destructive  according  to  the  number  of  ho^  in  this  county  as  in  many
other  ^ounties.  As  to  its  introduction,  all  we  know  is  it  came.  Hogs  previously
were  usually  healthy,  and  have  been  since.  I  hear  no  complaint  from  feeders  in
relation  to  any  form  of  disease  among  hogs  or  cattle.  Cold  weather  of  a  severe
character  has  caused  the  loss  of  some  cattle  and  hogs,  otherwise  we  would  have
gone  through  to  this  writing  safely.
Ford.— Hog  cholera  has  been  very  bad  in  this  county  in  former  years.  We  think
it  was  diipped  in  here  from  Missouri.  We  know  of  no  cure,  I  have  known  90  per
cent,  of  a  herd  to  die  of  the  disease.    Horses  and  cattle  are  healthy.
Franklin.— There  was  some  so-called  hog  cholera  in  this  county  as  long  ago  as
twelve  years,  but  where  it  came  from,  or  how  it  o]i^:inated,  we  are  unable  to  state.
The  county  has  not  suffered  very  much  from  that  disease.  There  has  been  little  or
none  of  the  malady  for  the  last  year.
GOVB.— There  is  no  hog  cholera  in  this  county.  I  have  lived  here  nine  years  and
have  not  heard  of  a  single  case.  I  have  raised  a  few  hogs  every  year,  and  there  has
never  been  any  disease  among  them.  Cattle  and  horses  are  very  healthy,  indeed
this  coonty  is  a  very  healthy  one  for  all  kinds  of  stock.
Habvet.— There  is  some  little  hog  cholera  in  our  county  yet,  but  not  very  much.
