CATTLE DISEASE IN 1850.
Governor Kirkwood Issued Warning 70
People.

During the summer Of the year 1850
destructive disease broke out among
the cattle in Massachusetts and some
of the adjoining states and there was
great fear that the epidemic might
spread throughout the country. Gov
ernor Kirkwood was a farmer himself,
says the writer Of biography OF the
famous war governor which is being
prepared for publication by the State
Historical Society of Iowa, "and since
he owned a herd Of cattle on farm
near Iowa City he was much interested
in preventing the appearance OF the
disease in Iowa. Consequently he is
sued a circular letter to county judges
and other people all over the state
warning them not to allow the entry
of eastern cattle for exhibition at
county fairs and urging them to guard
the ferries and railroad lines across
the Mississippi to prevent the intro
duction of any diseased cattle into the
state. It was rumored at one time
that the disease had appeared in Illi-
noins. but as far as has been discov-
cred the Mississippi Valley at this time
escaped the epidemic which caused so
much loss to farmers in the east"
