Abstract
THE United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., in Farmer's Bulletin No. 1777, gives an account of the diseases attacking fur-animals on the farm, together with methods of control. Descriptions are given of distemper, paratyphoid infection and encephalitis of foxes, of hookworm, tapeworm and fluke affections, and of external parasites such as fleas, lice and sarcoptic mange, as well as of nutritional disturbances. Useful information is also given on farm sites and structure, their sanitation and disinfection. The Bulletin should be of value to those engaged in the fur industry in Great Britain.
