Ia great or less extent in most every
section of the state has been practic-
ally eradicated. In fact, It has been
more than two years since a horse
affected with this disease has been
found. although many Inspections
and tests have been made OF suspect
horses.
Tho disease Dourine that was
found to be affecting range horses
in the north central part OF the state
In 1913 has practically been eradicat-
ed 1t has been more than four years
since an animal affected with this
disease has been located.
There was a time when tho cis-
ease mango affecting horses was
more or less prevalent in one or two
sections Of the state. This disease
has been practically eradicatsd, as
1t has been more than eight years
since a horse affected with this dis.
ease has been found.
No Disease Among Swine.
Swine raised in Wyoming, with the
exception of small herds on garbage
feed in the vicinity Of small towns
and cities are practically free from
dlseaSe. We have had several out
breaks OF cho;era during the past
year, but the infected herds have
been located about cities and have
worked nc hardship on the true
stockman or farmer. This disease
can be prevented by the proper use
Of serum and virus. While It is true
that we import some hogs for imme-
diate slaughter, we export each year
a great many hogs to Nebraska and
Iowa to go into the feed lots for fat
teniDg. The time will come when
Wyoming will finish feed a great
many hogs, and It is only n ques-
ton now Of producing grain, and II
has been demonstrated that this can
be done in abundance. and tina the
feed OF hogs a be made a very prof
table branch Of the farming bust
ness. We r carrying on farms and
ranches at this time about 10000
swine. Town today is carrying ap-
proximately 100000. There is
ample room in wyoming for at least
$40. 00G and they could be properly
Eel and cared for with an assured
profit to the farmer.
Taking all Of the ~livestocl; into
consideration at this time within the
state. I would say that their average
condition is % per cent. In al, sec
lions OF the state with the exception
Of two. there is ample feed to proper.
ly care for the stock during the win.
ter months. md the future outlook
sor the industry is really encourag-
ing fer the feed situation Is plLch
better than It was last year with a
slightly larger hay crop, especially
in the northeast sections. ard there
are sections of that state that could
easily take care of and proper feed n
great many more cattle. While just
at this time the financial situation IS
more or less a serious one to he
stockmen. as they nave not been able
under prevailing prices to overcome
the heavy losses Of a few years ago.
1t Is my personal opinion that the
outlook is--there will be a better
general financial situation for the
state and the tendency is toward n
gradual Improvement. Those who
are in business and can stay win

half Of ! per cent. All of the dairy
cattle owned by the state Institutions
have been tuberculin tested and the
dairy cattle furnishing the milk sup
ply to a great many of our smaller
towns. and all of the larger cities.
Wyoming today IL indeed fortunate,
and I believe It can be truly said, that
she has a less percentage of tubercu.
loss in her dairy cows than any other
state in the union. The fight against
this disease within the state and to
prevent the importation OF cattle dis.
eased n the state dates back to the
year 1907. All OF the work done dur.
helped to eradicate and keep down
the importation OF cattle diseased into
the state dates back to the year 1907,
All of the work done Curing this pc,
riod OF time has greatly helped Ia
eradicate and keep down the importa,
ton OF diseased animals. In certain
sections OF northern Illinois the per,
centage Of disease has gone rs high
al 10 per cent. All eastern states
admit they are carrying in their dairy
herds today anywhere from 8 to IL
per cent diseased with tuberculosis
Eastern sections Of the United States
practically pasteurize all of their
milk for human consumption, except
that taken from free or certified dairy

The second most important disease
Of dairy cattle Is that Of contagious

Tuberculosis.
As early as 1907 and 1905 the test
ing of dairy cattle in Wyoming was
undertaken. That year about 217
head were tested and of this number
IT proved to be diseased with tuber-

from a shipment OF 200 head import
ed from Nebraska. In 1909 and 1910
SS5 head were tested and 20 of these
were found diseased. In 1911 and 1912
641 were tested with six reactors. In
1918 and 1914 $50 head were tested;
of this number 81 were condemned.
