This report indicates that durint
the year all animals that entered tn,
United States from foreign countries
were Inspected at the time of entry
and that 643 head OF cattle, 63S head
of sheep and 35 swine were placed
In quarantine on their arrival unit

During the year the bureau had
placed inspectors in Great Britain for
the purpose Of testing cattle previous
to loading them on the boats 70,

The number Of cattle tested was 1862,
OF which number IL were found to be
suffering from tuberculosis
The report also states that the in
spections were continued for the pur-
pose OF ascertaining whether dourine
existed among the horses OF the
United States, and during the year
1920 horses were inspected for this
disease and not a single case was re-

The bureau of animal industry also
maintains a division for the manu-

positive preventative of black-leg
In cattle, and this product is distrfb-
uted free to the stockmen of the

The number OF cattle that were re-
ported as having died from this dis
ease previous to vaccination is given
as 1926. while the number that died
after being vacclnated is reported as
1885, thus showing a very great de-
crease in the mortality as result of
the vaccination.
The report deals at some length
with the experiments that have been

vaccine that would prevent hog chol-
