known remedies with us. 1t is wholly unman-
ageable and fatal.

ing as the amount of the losses among the farm
animals in this county for the past year; Horses,
$l2 400 cattle, 81 400: hogs, $500; sheep 5000.

cattle, Sc, $40; hogs, $33 40 sheep, $I02.
Harrison-No destructive epidemic of any
kind has visited the domestic animals of this
locality during the year. ] have no means of
securing the statistics of losses of those that
have died.
Hamiton-A great many cows have died of
milk fever. The disease is very fatal. and about
all die that attacked. Quite number OF
hogs have died in the county of date. II one OF
these animals dies the disease is always called
cholera l estimate the value of those lost,
whether by cholera or some other disease, at
$l2, 800. Cholera and gapes frequently prove
very destructive to fowls
Hancock-No disease of consequence has pre-
vailed among horses, cattle or sheep the past
year. With n few exceptions hogs have been
healthy, and the aggregate loss will not much
exceed s., 600. Whenever any disease prevails
among this class of animals it is called cholera
A disease also called cholera and roupe have pre-
vailed among chickens.
Hendricks-LosseS of animals in this county
for the year 1888 are given as follows Horses,
IS $50; cattle 81, 500; hogs S12 500 sheep 81 go.

questions In some localities there have been
heavy losses from hog cholera, but as to the
value of the losses am at a loss to know. Two
men near here have lost about 81 900 worth each.
and others quite largely. No disease has occurred
among horses or cattle.
Howard-No epidemic disease prevailed among
horses during the years 1SS2-S3, Anthrax pre-
vailed to some extent among cattle, destroying
animals valued at upwards OF S0.OOO estimate
our losses by so-ealled hog cholera at So, 600.
This disease prevails among hogs throughout
the year.
Alphabetically pink-eye appears among
our horses and distemper RACES to some extent,
but the losses are generally light Our county
has again been visited by hog cholera in its
worst form. Some farmers have lost nearly all
their animals. Nothing seems to have any
effect on the disease when it gets a fair hold;
the animals die anyhow. Chickens also die in
large numbers of cholera Sheep are fearfully
slaughtered by dogs
Jennings-The only disease worth mentioning
among farm animals is hog cholera This dis
ease, however, is not widespread and de
structiYe as i'll some former years. Last year |
lost seventy head myself by the disease
Johnson-The records in the auditors Office
give the following as the value of farm animals
lost during the year, viz: Horses. 81, go cattle,
$500; hogs $1,000; sheep, $1,000; and fowls,

value of farm animals lost in this county during
the year as follows Horses, 81, 900; cattle, So,
900; nogs $40, 600; sheep, 81, 262
LagrangeNo special disease has prevailed
among our horses or cattle Cholera had de-
stroyed hogs perhaps to the value of s., 600. The
actual loss by death and hindrance in reproduc-
ton is no doubt greater than this; in all proba-
bty it would reach $4,000. As a preventive
of this terrible disease carbolic acic and turpen-
tine in swill or feed has been found the most eff
fcacious
Madison-Choera has prevailed among hogs
in some portions of this county, and has de-
stroyed animals during the year worth in the
neighborhood of $40 O0O Other classes of ami
mails have been measurably healthy.

year: Horses, $1,000; cattle So 900 hogs, So, 200;
sheep, $780, and fowls So, 1880.
Mami-No epidemic disease has visited either
horses cattle or sheep. The number of sheep
killed by dogs was 800, valued at 81, 49, The
value Of hogs lost by the diseases incident to
them was $3l, 400
Morgan-None other than ordinary diseases
have affected our stock during the past year.
There has been a slight sprinkling OF cholera
among both hogs and fowls but it is hard to de-
termine the actual loss as regards either num-
bers values. Perhaps one-third of the chickens
Matched have died of the disease
Monroe-No epidemic disease has prevailed
among horses A few animals have died of pink
eye and distemper, and others of old age, collie,
bots, bad treatment, etc. No disease among
cattle or sheep except foot-rot among the lat
ter, caused by keeping too many animals to-
gether. In some neighborhoods the hogs nave
Parke-Hogs have died with the usual dis
eases the past year The number that died is
given at 4 2s5 valued at upwards of $40, 900,

heavy

accurately the value of domestic animals lost IN
this county the past year. Horses. ST., 0I5; cat
lie. So. lO4; hogs s. 165; sheep $l,55O.
Scott-Perhaps So, 500 would cover the value of
the losses of hogs during the past year. Chicken
cholera has been very destructive. Quite a
number of fowls have also died of fatty degen-
Grafton of the heart The heart seemed TO he
transformed into a lump of fat. This ruptures,
and the fowl dies almost instantly.
Shelby-The mortality among domestic ami
mails an this county has been quite heavy the
past year. Cholera among hogs and fowls has
proved more destructive than any other disease.
