The state veterinary department Is
informed that there is no known reason
for the breaking out of the foot and
mouth disease east Of Williamsburg on
farm not hitherto infected. 1t Is one
Of those cases springing up In the wake
Of others, the cause of which can not
be ascertained. The last case near
Upton, 1t was believed, came from
dogs carrying the germs from one farm
to another. It il believed that the
germ of the foot and mouth disease Is
about as easily carried as anything
sver discovered.

hoped that there would be no new out
breaks. but In this they were doomed
to disappointment. It is probable there
will be no other cases coming from
outside the state. Two farms remain
to be disinfected. When this is done
It Is expected the state will be clear.
