NEW TERRITORIES,
The new enterprise of pig feeding by the Hongkong Milling Company has only had a qualified success owing principally to the difficulty of avoiding infectious disease.
There have been no cases of infectious disease among cattle reported from the New Territories.
A case of glanders in a pony belonging to an employee the Kowloon-Canton Railway was diagnosed. The animal was destroyed and the owner compensated.
The breeding of European pigs was tried at Castle Peak farm but has been only moderately successful.
