SHEEP DISEASES" NUMBER.
THE popularity of the" Special Number" series of THE VETERINARY J OURNAL has b een manifest ed by the congratulatory m essages which have been received from our correspondents and readers, not only from Great Britain and the Dominions, but also from our colleagues in America and on the Continent. Amongst other subjects, Special Numbers have already appeared on Surgery, Physiology, Tuberculosis, Canine Medicine, and the Disease6 of Cattle and Poultry, and the April issue will be entirely devoted to the Diseases of Sheep; whilst at a later date in the year those of some of the other farm animals, especially the pig, will be dealt with. The sheep has been one of the more fortunate of the farm animals in respect to the su ccesses attained during the last decade in the efforts to control its epidemic disease, but much yet r emains to be done, and as many of the diseases of these animals are seasonal, the progress must necessarily be slow. The want of p ecuniary support for veterinary research, both from the side of the Government and that of the agricultural community, as well as from the general ' public- all of whom are directly interested in the eradication of animal epidemics from the country-has been felt for many years; and 41 comparison with what is done for research into animal diseases in other countries the situation would be ludicrous were it not so serious.
It is to amend this state of affairs that the Agricultural R esearch Council has come into being, and there is a prospect that veterinary research may at last have an opportunity to come into its own. B
