The Condition of Farm stock I'm the Init
ed Stnfes.

In the report of the Department of Agri-
culture based on the returns to the April cir
culars, we have many valuable statistics
showing the condition of farm stock and how
it got through the past severe winter. The
practical lesson taught in this report, if prop
erly needed, would be worth millions to the
country. The report shows that the past
winter has been unusually favorable to the
health of domestic animals. That leapness
and feebleness, which might almost be said
to be the rule throughout whole States, one
year ago, are now the rare exception. The
low temperature of the Western States, with
the absence of severe storms, while causing
the consumption of an unusual amount of
food, proved conducive to health and fine
condition. And here lei us remark that the
farmers of our State lose more than they are
aware OF by not taking proper care of their
stock during our long, cold winters. Much
is lost by not having warm places for the cat
tie. Animals shivering with the cold require
much more food than they do when properly
housed. And herein is a great loss. But we
can only touch upon this subject and give a
hint
The long drought of last autumn in the
Ohio valley so injured late pasturage as TO
effect injuriously cattle and sheep in a large
area, and the injury was felt through the
winter In the New England States the win
ter was favorable to health and growth. The
report says that in the Southern States both
cattle and sheep were affected, more or less
seriously, by the invariable neglect and utter
lack of shelter to which they are subjected
And we are sorry to confess too many Of our
farmers are liable to like accusations, and yet
there is evidently gradual improvement in
these matters. Cattle do not suffer so much
The Portland daily press., 1868-06-12

by cold as they have in years past, for their
owners begin to see the necessity of keepipe
them warm as well as saving them from star
vation.
The mortality resulting from exposure
starvation and other common TOMS Of dis
ease amounts in the aggregate to much loss;
sometimes but two or three per centum in
some localities, in others five and occasionally
as hlSh as ten' and even twenty per cent. OF
Tue totai NUMBER OF cattle and sheep in the
township or county. Hogs have been swept
off in whole neighborhoods by the cholera.
sometime one half of them. Although pre
vailing diseases have been less fatal and gen.
eral than in previous seasons and cattle have
wintered better, yet the aggregate losses of
farm animals of allkinds for the last twelve
months could not be covered by fifty millions
oil dollars. 1t is startling fact and shows
how immense are the agricultural interests
OF the country.
The Spanish fever communicated by Texas
or Gulf coast cattle to those of the country
through which they pass in their northward
journey, has been less destructive than usual
in consequences OF the restrictive or prohibi-
tory measures adopted by citizens of the bor-
der. Yet its ravages have been continued in
several counties in Missouri and Kansas and
in some localities of Georgia. This disease is
very fatal and highly contagious, even when
the animal communicating the contagion ap-
pears to be exempt from disease aud improv-
ing in fle-h. Lung disease, or plemo-pneumo-
mia, has been prevalent in the vicinity of
Baltimore, in Eastern Pennsylvania, and to
some extent, about Washington and Alexan-
dria.
A great variety of diseases has attacked
saeep, destroying not less than million in
number, in addition to large percentage of
lambs lost by exposure and from other causes.
Abortion in cows has occasioned much loss in
New York and Vermont. Local investiea-
tions have been made but not with any con-
elusive results. Horses, too, have fallen vic
tins to many named and uuk nown diseases
IN all sections of the country. In one coun-
ty in North Carolina the loss is reported at
twenty per centum from disease commonly
called "blind staggers," and other portions of
the South have been afflicted with the same
disease. The losses from hog cholera, ordi-
nariy not less than $15,0O0,OOO yearly and
greater probably than the damage by all dis
eases to any other kind of domestic animals
have been less the past year than for several
years previous, yet il is so destructive as TO
cause general despondency among the ST ine-
breeders. We are inclined to the belief that
disease among the domestic animals of Maine
is less destructive than in most States o. the
Union. We may recur to this subject again.

WARRINGTON, July 10.
Fifteen Radicals, including g. G. Beator,
candidate for Governor, appeared before the
Reconstruction Committee this morning, de-
manding the exclusion from court Of the
votes on the Constitution Of Rankin, Mar
shall, Carol and others. By this means they
expect to csrry the Constitution and elect
Radical State officers and Congressman. The
reason they aliege is that those counties they
represent ask Congress to declare Mississippi
reconstructed and entitled to readmisson TO
Congress-. Among the fifteen several were
Northern and Western men.
The general understanding to-day is that
Congress will adjourn next Monday or Tues
day.
Between now and the first Of September
over 200 male and female employees will be
dismissed from various bureaus Of the Treas
