Washington, Jan. . 11. (Siwoial) Tt.. 1 l C J.U- -D Animal Industry, of the department. which has just been published, states that satisfactory progress was made' during the year in the, work eradicat ing a number of animal diseases. In addition to stamping out the foot-and-mouth disease, much was done in the South toward the elimination of the cattle tick, and in the West the eradication of scabies of sheep and cattle has been brought nearer te- completion. clubs now have 9,000 members and the" ' poultry clubB nearly 4,000. Livestock, demonstration work in areas freed of ticks has 'been carried on in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and - ArWansas in cooperation with the State agricultur al colleges. Definite demonstrations with livestock have been conducted and registered beef cattle and hogs introduced for breeding purposes. - - Improvement in the qulality of mar ket milk is also noticeable as a result of the efforts of the department and various other agencies, Further more, by means of cow-testing as ' sociations, the milk yield of many dairy herds is being increased and the cost reduced. , The report also calls attention to the increasing extent of the meat-inspection service, more than 58,000,000 animtals having been slaughtered un der Federal inspection during tht fis cal year ended June 30, 1915.

An outbreak (among hogs in Maryland was checked by the same means. In connection with this work attention is called to the cura tive effect of the serum as well as to its immunizing value. ' .. Hog-cholena work has been con tinued, the report says, and' now con sists of investigations into the pos sibilities of county . control, educa tional work designed to secure the aid of the farmers, and the enforce ment of the virus-serum-toxin law. The results of the work show, the re port says, that losses from hog chol erti can be reduced to a minimum and the industry of hog raising increased in any given area. ; At the - present time, however, a country-wide cam paign for ! the .-eradication of hog cholera is regarded as ill-advised. As a preliminary to such a campaign, the various States should have more ef- the Federal Government should be to a large extent confined to assisting '., the States in orgranizinir stable or-1 ' ganizations -among, farmers and ' in securing, a '" proper ; distribution and administration of potent hog-cholera serum.:' 'The nature of hog cholera, the ways in -which ft is spread, and the best methods; of combating-it should also be made plain to farmers through lectures,, demonstrations, and printed articles. ; Bach farmer of the State' should be acquainted with the location of the nearest serum depot, and hntr-fihrilem senrm nTrnnTH h Baby's Skin Troubles. : Pimples Eruptions Bczema quick ly yield to the soothing and healing qualities of : Dr. Hobson's Eczema Ointment. .

Effective cooperation, - it is said, has come from transportation companies, commercial clubs, bank ers and other business metf who were farsighte.d enough to realize that the eradication of the cattle tick and -the subsequent development of the live stock industry means an increase of business for all interests concerned. The work of eradication is being done in cooperation with State authorities and is being pushed forward as rap idly as possible with the means at hand. - During the fiscal year ended June 30, 1915, nearly 10,000 square miles in the State of Utah were , .released from quarantino on account, of sheep scabies. Nearly 4,000,000 sheep were dipped in this quarantined area during the fiscal year , in cooperation with State officials. ': iA ' total of J4.200 square miles was also released from quarantine on account of cattle scab ies. Good progress is also reported in the eradication of dourine in horses.
