CATTLE PLAGUE
OUTBREAK IN WEST AUSTRALIA. (EHITID PBISS ASSOCIATION.—COPYRIGHT.) (Received 26th November, 1 p.m.) PERTH, This Day. Rinderpest (one of the most infectious and fetal diseases of cattle, sheep, and many other animals) has broken out. The Chief Inspector of Stock (Mr. | Weir) says that the position is very serious. It started with a bull and a couple of heifers, which were confined | in a yard at a dairy for a considerable time. A diagnosis revealed features of rinderpest, but doubt had been caused at the time by the absence of ulceration of the stomach, which is characteristic of the disease. (Received 26th November, 1 p.m.) MELBOURNE, This Day. The Chief Veterinary Officer of Victoria, Mr. Robertson, and Professor Woodruff, of Melbourne University, have left for Perth to assist in the campaign against the outbreak of rinderpest. (Received 26th November, 1 p.m.) BRISBANE, This Day.' An Order has been issued prohibiting the introduction of stock, carcasses, fodder, or any fittings into Queensland from West Australia, in view of the outbreak of rinderpest.
