cholera prevails to some extent In
Winnebago and Lee counties In tho
northern part, and Jackson county in
the southern part of the state; and in
White county it Is estimated fifty per
cent of the pigs were killed by the
severe cold weather. No hog cholera
nor disease of any kind among stock.
is reported from the central portions
of the state.
Stock in northern and central In
diana is in good condition and feed Is
abundant. In the southern part Of the
state stock is healthy but thin where
proper shelter was not provided.
The same report applies to Ohio. A
that stock has wintered we'll and Is in
good condition, that the severe cold
weather did no material damage. Our
Franklin county representative states
that sheep and cattle are thin, but
other kinds of stock look well. In the
southern part of the state according
to our Jackson county representative,
live stock is in fair condition where it
has been we'll housed, but not other
wise, and our Adams county agent re-
ports considerable loss among sheep
from cold, wet weather.
Live stock in the northern part or
Michigan is in good condition and feed
is abundant. In the central counties
of the state, condition is reported fair
to good" Some animals are poor, but
the health of all farm animals is re-
ported good. In the southern part OF
the state all live stock is said to be IN
good condition and healthy.
Live stock in Kentucky shows the ef-
feet of the winter more than in some
other states. In the northern portion
the report of condition from Bracken
county is "75 per cent; Lawrence and
Nicholas, fair; Trimble and Flem-
ing counties, good; Owen county,
good generally Some were badly
kept and a few. cattle were frozen to
death. Many lambs were lost on &C
count of February cold weather" Re-
ports from the central parts OF the
state are equally varied, viz: Bull1tt.
Grayson, Johnson and Webster coun-
ties, "fair"; Garrard county, "splen-
did,; Morgan, Hancock, Mclean and
Nelson counties, good; Meade coun-
ty, "tolerably good. Some sheep and
lambs lost; Boyle county, "75 per
cent; Mercer county, bad; Ander-
son county, "cattle look bad. Horses
and mules very good" Southern Ken
lucky reports indicate that condition
is good in Laurel, Todd, Wayne, Chris
tan and Cumberland counties; ana
fair in Whitley, Marshall and Pulaski
counties.
The condition of live stock in north
ern Missouri is good except where 1t
was unsheltered. Our correspondent IN
Marion county reports, condition ~
per cent and feed scarce" Grundy,
Carroll and Rails county reports make
condition fair but cattle thin owing
to cold weather." Our Nodaway coun-
ty reporter estimates condition OF cat
tie 95, horses 100, sheep 81, hogs 30,
pigs So and says feed Is abundant.
Live stock in Clinton county is said
to be in poor condition. In some OF the
central portions of Missouri, notably
in Pike, Boone, Cass, Miller. Galloway
and Cole counties, stock shows the
effects of severe weather, and cattle
are thin. In Montgomery county, some
hogs have died "of fever" and in Pike
county, cattle in certain localities are
dying Of an unknown disease. Re-
ports from the southern part of the
state show that the condition of stock
is flair to good" The supply of many
kinds of farm animals is not up to the
usual average.
Reports from all parts of Kansas in
dictate that live stock has wintered
well in that state, is healthy and in
unusually good condition, notwith-
standing the winter has been the cold
est experienced in many years. No
sickness of any kind is reported.
