CATTLE DISEASE.
OUTBREAK IN ENGLAND. THEORY’ OF HUMAN CARRIERS. ] The 30 outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease which have occurred in Great Britain since August have involved the slaughter of 7254 cattle, 7549 sheep, 4736 pigs, and 13 goats, Lord Ancaster (Parliamentary Secretary, Board of Agriculture) stated in the House of Lords. The compensation paid amounted to £202,500.
An explanation of why outbreaks-of this disease should occur in centres j far removed from other centres of JB infection had so far baffled veterinary science, he said. Outbreaks at Fleet wood and in Bucks and in Shrop- i shire had been traced to a Blackpool case. A veterinary surgeon who had attended one of the suspected ani- j mals in the Blackpool case was on the following day called to attend a cow at Fleetwood landing stage, and it was beieved that this practitioner J had carried the infection.
