Description:Excerpt from Hog Cholera: Farmer's Bulletin, Department of Agriculture State of Tennessee It was only a few years ago when no less than fifty-one counties in Tennessee were in rigid quarantine, both Federal and State, on account of the widespread prevalence of the Southern or Texas fever tick. Not over five years ago that great scourge to the sheep-raising industry, "scab," invaded the flocks of the Volunteer State. Unceasing warfare on the "tick" by the State and Federal Governments in cooperation with the county authorities eradicated the tick, and the State has been released from quarantine and the markets of the world opened up to our Tennessee-raised cattle. The day will never come again when our cattle owners will be called upon to sacrifice their cattle on account of either State or Federal restrictions against their free movement to market centers. One of the first official acts of the Department of Agriculture after the induction of Capt. Thos. F.Peck into the Commissioners chair was a determined assault by State, Federal, and county authorities (eleven counties in Middle Tennessee) upon the sheep scab mite, and within as short a time as sixteen months our flocks were again free from scab, and instead of Tennessee going into quarantine as was threatened, the markets of the world remained open to the sheep raisers of this State. Future Policy of the Department. Since Texas fever in cattle and "scab" in sheep have been eradicated, it now behooves us as loyal Tennesseans to make an assault upon that great scourge to our swine-raising industry - hog cholera. While this department will endeavor in every way possible to prevent the spread of, and eradicate, glanders, bovine tuberculosis, lump jaw, black leg, and other contagious and infectious diseases of animals, it shall be our purpose and policy for the next two years to wage unceasing warfare upon hog cholera, and most of our energy and effort will be devoted to the study, control and ultimate eradication of this one disease.
