DIR. WI. Tomlinson of William
sport has just completed trip
through Sullivan and Lycoming
counties, where he examined a
large number of herds of cattle in
search for outbreaks of apthous
fever. No such cases were found,
but hog cholera was found at Pens
dale, Muncy Valley and Eagles

already killed a large number of
hogs, is fully as contagious as the
dreaded apthous, but has no effect
on man. Cholera usually kills the
hogs within a short time and if
they are buried Immediately the
danger of the disease is greatly
eliminated. DR.. Tomlinson states
that it is not likely that the epidem-
ic of apthous fever will spread to
this county, as it is now being held
in check in the various parts of the
state. very few cases being report
