choicest flocks of merino sheep and
lambs in this country, his fold contain
ing winners of prizes at the principal
stock exhibitions during the past quarter
of century. He carried off the honors
at the Chicago worlds fair and at the
Pan American exposition at Buffalo, n.
Y. Many animals from Mr. Hambin's
flock have brought giltedged prices in
South Africa and Australian markets.

The cause of the mysterious deaths in
discovered, and it is now known that the
pig killed was diseased but just the nat
ure of the disease is not ascertained.
DIR. NJ. j. Witse, the director of the
state laboratory, in his report says:
"The materials sent consisted of a
piece of the liver, spleen, intestine,
stomach, drop of blood and piece of
pork.
"The blood was examined for organ
isms with negative results. The intes-
tine showed some liberation and with
distribution of mucossa surrounding.
The stomach contents did not show any
poison. The stomach tissue about the
oesophageal opening showed many small
round spots or petechfa about the size of
a pin head, some being little larger.
These small liberated dots showed the
presence of rod shaped bacillus which
we were unable to cultivate upon artfi-
cial media.
"The spleen and liver were apparently
normal macrascopcally. Upon section
ing, both showed areas of congestion
distributed throughout.
"The liver showed marked fatty de-
generation. Both organs show an or
ganism which we must class as strepo-
therix. This strepotheriX is also pres
ent in the pork. Guinea pigs were given
hypodermic injections with concentrated
preparations of the pork. AS yet there
has been no development, the reason for
which may be the age or the stage of
development of the bacteria existing in
the specimen used.
81 regret being unable to state further
than that in my opinion the trouble
arises from this strepotheriX, which we
are unable to Identify for the reason of its
not growing on artificial media

the fact that that town had case very
much like the sad poisoning case in
Whiting. Last fall the family of F. y.
Searle were all suddenly taken sick and
but for prompt medical aid might have
shared the fate of the Brown family.
