OF the pleuro-pneumonia scare in
Madison County, the Jackson Wing
says: The jackson Jersey Breeders
Association, composed of the following
well known and prominent citizens:
DIR. F. B. Hamilton, w. B. nmberlake,
L. Nance and e. c. Nance, purchased
eight thousand dollars worth of fine
Jerseys in Cynthiana, Ky, last sum
mer. Shortly after the purchase, early
in September last, disease supposed
to have been pleuro-pneumonia did
appear among the herd and number
died. DIR. Hamilton, the leading spirit
of the jackson Jersey Breeders Asso-
citation, visited Cynthiana and finding
some of the cattle in diseased con-
dition exercised the precaution not to
move any OF them. After lapse of
three months, during which time
none of the cattle died or were sick
he felt safe in removing them to the
farm near this city last week. We are
informed by Dr. Hamilton, and his
word CAN be implicitly relied upon.
that there are not in the State to-day
healthier cattle than. those he has re-
Gently received. Accompanied by
DR.. J. l. Taylor, a prominent physician
and health officer of the city, DIR.
Hamilton visited the herd day or 81
since and gave all thorough exami-
nation and found them sound, their
breathing regular, no throat trouble
and their general condition healthy.
From this statement it appears that
alarm is needless, and that mountain
has been made out of a mole hill.
