in many localities thruout the state

durable disease among their c@ale.

in these localities has been called to
the malady and in almost all cases
they have been unable to analyze the
disease. A short time ago a form OF
it appeared in q large and valuable
herd near Fonda, the attention of the
state was called to this fact and at
the request OF Governor Cummins,

affliction to be infectious dysentery
and said that it was in all probability
caused from a fungus growth among
