Excerpt from Eighteenth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture: With an Appendix Containing Reports of Delegates Appointed to Visit the County Exhibitions, and Also Returns of the Finances of the Agricultural Societies for 1870 The Commissioners on Contagious Diseases among Cattle, re port, that nearly the whole of the year since our last report was made, has been one of thrift to our cattle-growing interest and its products. Until within a few weeks our herds have not been visited by any general malady, though at different times our attention has been called to herds which it was feared were af¿icted with contagious disease. In April we were notified that a herd in Holden, Worcester County, was undoubtedly sick with contagious pleuro-pneumonia. Dr. Martin, of Wor cester, made an examination of the case, and reported his Opin ion that it was a case of simple pneumonia and not contagious and the animals recovering without any dissemination of the malady, proved the correctness of the Opinion. SO terrible and costly were the ravages of contagious pneumonia in former years, that many cattle-owners are extremely sensitive on that point, and Often fear great danger where none exists.
