MORTALITY AMONG CATTLE.-After
careful investigation of the recent NOR
tality among the herds in Brandywine
and Christiana Hundreds, Drs. Ewes
and Lintz have come to the conclusion
that their death is to be attributed to
hydrophobia, and that the animals
were bitten by a rabid dog seen in
those parts early in last July. Several
of the COWS were undoubtedly afflicted
with the rabies of ''the furious form"
although in the greater majority of
cases the mortality is attributed to
what is known as the mute form" of
hydrophObia.
1t is estimated that the losses through
the above causes have taxed the pOck-
cts of Brandywine and Christiana Hun
dred farmers to the extent of So, 600
and this estimate of losses is considered
a very low one.
