FIFTY YEARS AGO
DISEASE AMONG CATTLE The question of keeping stock in New Zealand as free from disease as possible was one of the greatest concerns of farmers in the colony 50 years ago. The following message from Oamaru appeared in the New Zealand Herald of October 1, 1888: "At a meeting of the Farmers' Club on Saturday it was resolved to urge upon the Government the desirability of framing such quarantine regulations as -would prevent the introduction of disease among the cattle from Australia and to ask the co-operation of other societies in seeing it was done. It was pointed out that pleuro-pneu-xnonia existed in Victoria at present."
