pleuro Pneumonia in 1llinois.

The Chicago Breeders Gazette says: At
last the unwelcome truth is forced Upon us that
contagious pleuro-pneumonia has found a
Judgement in the prairies of Illinois. The ev-
idence of its baleful presence in not less than
five Jersey herds in Illinois is overwhelming,
and grave fears are felt that the extent of the
infection has only dawned upon us. In view
of these developments the following order has
been issued:
Department of Agriculture, Washington,
Aug. 20,1SS4-To the cattle Owners of the Unit
ed States: Owing to the existence of a dis
use supposed to be pleuro-pneumonia, in sew
eral herds of Jersey cattle in the State of uli-
nois, l hereby request owners of all herds of
Jersey cattle in the United States, into which
new animals have been introduced since Jan.
l to stop the shipments of cattle until after Oct
/. The disease seems TO have been introduced
by animals sold at Virginia, Cass coun-
ty, Ill, in February, 1884, and these
animals were widely distributed through
out the Western States. 1t is hoped,
therefore, that persons owning cattle trac-
ing to this sale, and all others having cat
tie affected with disease of the lungs, Will at
once communicate with DIR. De Salmon, chief
of the bureau of animal industry, care of
Breeders Gazette, Chicago, and clearly state
the condition of these herds, and the symptoms
OF disease. The attention Of owners of cattle
and railway and other transportation COM
panies is called to section Z of the act establish
ing the bureau of animal industry, which makes
IT a mlsdemeanor punishable by a fine of not
less than 800 nor more than $1,000, or by
Imprisonment of not more than one year, or
both, for shipping catHe with a contagious, in
~fectious, or communicable disease, and es-
pecially the disease known as p~leuro-pneu-
monia, from one state or territory into another.
The condia cooperation of the state authori-
ties and all persons interested in the welfare of
our cattle industries is earnestly desired, in or
der to avert a danger which menaces the herds
