Excerpt from Tenth Annual Report of the Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Agriculture: Together With Reports of Committees Appointed to Visit the County Societies, With an Appendix Containing an Abstract of the Finances of the County Societies, for 1862 In the early part of the last year the lung disease among cattle, commonly known as pleuro-pneumonia again made its appearance in this State, notwithstanding the efforts which had been made to eradicate it. Those who knew most of the history and nature of this lung disease were fully satisfied of the danger to be apprehended from it, and exerted an in¿uence to have another Commission appointed to examine the facts, and, if necessary, to take measures to prevent the spread of the contagion. A new Board of Commissioners was accordingly appointed in pursuance of an Act of the legislature, and though a part of its members are understood to have entered on their duties with a strong conviction that there had been needless alarm, and that the policy of the Commonwealth in regard to the disease, as carried out by the original Board of Commissioners, had been erroneous, and resulted in unnecessary expense, a careful examination soon satisfied them that the danger had not been exaggerated, and that strenuous efforts were required to meet it and arrest its progress.
