North Otago, and happily of infrequent occurrence elsewhere in the Dominion, hns made its appearance amongst throe North Otago herds, namely, actinomycosis, commonly _ known as "lumpy jaw" (reports tlio Oamaru '"Mail"). There are fifteen cases in these-herdsy bulls and cows being tho animals affected, iand both have for some time been under tho observation of Mr. F. W. Blair, tlio local stock inspector. .Last; week tho veterinary officers from Dtmedin, Gore, Invercargill, ■and Amberley made a visit to the farms.
