ARMY HORSES
RECOVERY FROM DISEASE Hamilton, May 13. Of the 1200 horses sent from Waiouru to Ngaruawahia a month ago following an outbreak of strangles at the former camp, 350 have been returned to their owners with a clean bill of health. Nearly all the remainder are j leported to be free of the disease, but their treatment is being continued and they are being kept under close supervision. Batches of them are tested daily, and when the authorities are thoroughly satisfied that they have completely recovered they are sent back to their owners. Only 12 of the horses sent to Ngaruawahia have died, and in some of these cases death was not due to strangles.
