There has been a good deal OF
this spring among the
brood mares, and it has not 6een con
tined to any particular locality, the
trouble being seemingly prevalent
in all parts of the country at the same
time. It will be found when the
records of 1891 are figured up at the
close OF. the year, that IL has ceen q
terribly serious one in the matter OF
brood mares losing their colts ana
themselves dying. Last winter there
was something like an epidemic
among Kentucky brood mares, OUT
this wear there has not been so great
a mortality, although considerable
sickness has marked the season.
While the grip is getting in itss work
on humanity, it would seem that
something akin to that strange dis
case has been working on horses both
last year and this, for it is impossible
TO recall two seasons in which there
has been so much trouble with brood
mares and so much mortality among
the equine race from pulmonary
troubles OF various kinds.
