iDAfiO.-^Diefe  is  no  dis^&se  prevailing  among  the  domestic  animals  of  this
county  except  acab  in  sheep  and  blackleg  in  calves.  There  is  seri6us  loss  in  sheep
in  the  spring  of  the  year,  generally  from  scab.  Blackleg  usually  attacks  calves
during  uie  summer  and  fall  months,  and  in  a  few  cases  has  assumed  an  epidemic
Conn.  The  past  summer  has  been  nearly  free  from  visitation  of  the  disease,  except
in  some  heros  between  Snake  and  Salmon  Rivers.  Horses  are  in  Bne  condition  and
seem  to  enjoy  almost  entire  immunity  from  disease.  Probably  there  has  never  been
a  case  of  hog  cholera  in  the  county.

Al>AJIB»— Hog  diolera  has  prevailed  in  this  county  for  many  years,  one  corre-
spondent says  forty.  Just  how  it  first  makes  its  appearance  I  do  not  know.  Some-
tmies  it  seems  to  be  epidemic,  while  at  others  it  would  indicate  that  it  was  only
*<  catcMng"  hr  coming  in  contact  with  one  another.  But  my  belief  is  that  it  travels
in  the  air,  and  wUl  in  that  way  infect  herds  that  are  entirely  isolated.  There  seems
to  be  no  known  remedy.  No  treatment  cures  or  seldom  seems  to  even  serve  to
check  the  disease.    It  has  been  among  the  swine  of  this  county  but  little  during  the
