Influenza AMONG
HORSES REPORTED

The influenza epidemic has not been
confined exclusively to men, women
and children but has spread among
horses, according to C. K, Donart,
county agent. Mr.. Donart believes
that in many cases where animals were
thought to be affected with distemper
the real trouble was influenza, eNo
cases OF the disease among hogs or
other animals have been reported.
The disease has not proven fatal
among animals, but they lose weight
and strength and it takes some time to
rebuild them.
