Excerpt from Contagious Diseases of Domesticated Animals

Sir: I have the honor to herewith transmit a report of the results of the experiments and investigations of the Veterinary Division for the year 1883-'84. The first Annual Report of the Bureau of Animal Industry, which will contain a detailed statement of the investigations made and all the work accomplished since the organization of the Bureau, in conformity with the act passed at the last session of Congress, will be submitted for your approval at the close of the year.

My work at the Veterinary Experimental Station has been greatly retarded during the past three or four months, made necessary in the investigation of an outbreak of ergotism among cattle in the West, and later in the supervision of the work necessary for the organization of the Bureau of Animal Industry. In addition to this I spent the months of August and September in tracing the cattle infected with contagious pleuro pneumonia in some of the Western States, a detailed account of which will be furnished you in the First Annual Report of the Bureau of Animal Industry.

My report proper contains the results of experiments and investigations of Pleuro-pnenmonia, Ergotism, Southern Cattle Fever, and Swine Plague.

In addition to the above this volume will contain interesting and valuable papers on the following subjects: Ergotism among cattle in Kansas, by M. R. Trumbower, V. S.; Syngamus trachealis, or Gape Disease of Fowls, translated from the French by Dr. Theobald Smith; Proceedings of the International Veterinary Congress, as reported by Dr. James Law; Hamburg International Exhibition, reported by Mr. J. H. Sanders and Dr. Rush Shippen Huidekoper; a detailed report of the losses sustained by an extensive outbreak of Southern cattle fever among cattle in Kansas, by Dr. M. R. Trumbower; Investigations as to the Cause of Southern Cattle Fever, by Dr. J. H. Detmers; Contagious Animal Diseases, and their Relation to the Public Health, by Dr. Ezra M. Hunt; results as to the prevalence of trichiu as shown by the report of the recent commission appointed by the President; salt used in packing; extracts from letters of correspondents, and statistical returns as to losses and general condition of farm animals as reported by the regular correspondents of the Department.
