tural agents for southern Madi-

made report on his work for the
|past year. In it he says:
This has been a great year in
many respects. On the whole you
have produced a good crop. The
fruit and potato crops were lit
tie light, but made up in a good
corn crop. l realize the wet
weather damaged the corn, wheat
and oats considerably. Yet with
all the bad luck that we have had,
we now have much to be thankful
for,-no war, no influenza, very
little hog cholera and blackleg.
| have just made report on the
hog cholera and bla :klcg. 1t is
as follows:
Cattle treated for blackleg 979;
digestive and other trouble, l7S;
and lis head for lice. Hogs treat
ed or>eholera, o72 single treat
ment; 480 double treatment; rs
digestive troubles; $50 for worms
248 for lice; III for mango. There
has been only two severe out
breaks of cholera this year in
Rockcastle and southern Madi-
son, which resulted in loss o
$1,000. The loss of cattle from
blackleg amounted to about $3,-
600. The value of hogs saved by
vaccination, ETC., was better than
$4,000. Cattle save from blackleg
better than $4,000. This is quite
a saving, and we are very thank
full, indeed, to science for discov-
ering a method whereby we can
can save our hogs from cholera
and cattle from blackleg.
