Three new cases of pleuro-pneumonia were recently discovered near West
Chester, Penn. Thus far the disease has been confined to three dairy
herds. All infected animals are promptly appraised, condemned, killed
and paid for by the State. The disease was introduced there by cows
purchased at Baltimore.

The twenty-ninth volume of the new series of Coates' Short-horn
Herd-Book has just been published by the English Short-horn Society. It
contains the pedigrees of bulls ranging from (47311) to (48978). The
larger half of the volume is devoted to the entry of cows with their
produce. Each breeder's entries of females are recorded together under
his own name. Her Majesty the Queen heads the list, followed by the
Prince of Wales.

The offices of the American Short-horn Breeders' Association in Chicago
were badly damaged by fire on Sunday, December 30. Some 1,500 pedigrees
were destroyed and many others partially destroyed.
