Pleuro Pneumonia in Illinois.

The Chicago Breeders Gazette says: At
last the unwelcome truth is forced upon us that
contagious pleuro-pneumonia has found q
Judgement in the prairies of Illinois. The ev-
idence of its baleful presence in not less than
hve Jersey herds in Illinois is overwhelming,
and grave fears are felt that the extent of the
infection has only dawned upon Ills. In view
of these developments the following order has
been issued:
Department of Agriculture, Washington
Aug. a,1SS4.-To the cattle Owners of the Unit
cd States: Owing to the existence of a dis.
ease supposed to be pleuro-pneumonia, in sew
eral herds of Jersey cattle in the State of Hi
nols, l hereby request owners of oil herds of
Jersey cattle in the United States, into which
new animals have been introduced since Jan.
!, to stop the shipments of cattle until after Oct
by animals sold at Virginia, Cass coun-
ty,. H., 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
once communicate with DR.. 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 I of the act establish
ing the bureau Of animal industry, which makes
It a mlsdemeanor punishable by a fine of not
less than 500 nor more than $1,000, or by
Imprisonment of not more than one year, or
both, for shipping cattle with a contagious, in
fictitious, or communicable disease, and es-
peoially the disease known as pleuro-pnou-
mm,onla, from one state or territory into another.
The condial 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 q danger which menaces the herd,
of the country.
