Overview

Excerpt from Monthly Report Department of the Agriculture: For April, 1875 Distemper. - This disorder is reported in Surrey, Wilkes, and Randolph Counties, North Carolina, to a small extent. In Yancey it occurred only among cattle brought from the lowlands. A few cases are also noted in Cherokee and Pickens, Georgia. Abortion - A tendency to abortion, especially in dairy cows, is noticed in different parts of the country. It is especially mentioned in Litch field, Connecticut, and in Orange, New York. In Cattaraugus a dairy of 110 cows, fed upon their own skim milk, thickened with corn-meal, had twenty-three cases of abortion, while none of the neighboring dai ries had a single case. A few abortions also occurred in Ashtabula, Ohio. Milk fascia - In Rockingham a few cows in good condition were taken with milk-fever, caused by neglect of providing food and shelter at calv ing time. The curative treatment employed aimed at the reduction of inflammation by cooling and cathartic medicines, bathing udders in cold water, &c. The same disorder is also reported in Towns, Georgia. The same disease is probably meant by the term udder disease in the report from De Kalb, Illinois. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
