THE CATTLE DISEASE.

The disease among cattle called "mur-
rain, sore tongue" or " black tongue" and
which has prevailed more or less throughout
I the Southern States, has made lis appearance
in this town. We have heard Of several
mich cows having it. Various remedies are
recommended as cures. 1t is said that
spirits turpentine has proved efiectual in
Georgia. The. Darlington 6. Co. Flag adj
yises the following:
! Take one spoonful Of wagon tar,
one Of salt, one Of soft soap, tea spoonful Of
copperas, piece Of assafGtida about the size
OF peach seed-put on bride bit wrapped
two or three times round with thick cotton
cloth with the composition in il, tied well at
each end to keep it on the bit, and renew
twice every other day.
Whether or not the disease is infectious
has not vet been established. The use Of
beef, milk and butter has been discontinued
in many places. We do not believe that the
disease affects either enough to poison those
who use these articles. The Savannah Re-
publican says man who was washing out the
mouths of some cattle, got some of the saliva
in cut place on his hand. which acted like
poison, and his recovery isconsidered doubt.
tul. The same paper also states that the
buzzards are dying in consequence of eat
ing the cafcasses of cattle which die of the
disease.
4 gentleman who had y or / ) cases Of the
disease cured them all by the following re-
meay: Use strong solution Of copperas
water, alum and saltpetre. BY washing out
the mouth twice day, and drench with salt
aud water, rubbing powdered alum in the
mouth. Five or six applications produced
cure. The same gentleman saws: AFTER
the cattle pass the founder stage, with which
they are first taken. you can't tell whether
they have the disease or not, unless you cx-
anime the mouth. They fall away daily, a.
they can't eat ANYTHING. The tongue and
gums become drcadlully swollen. and turn
black. When they get in this situation the
best plan would be to knock them in the head,
dig hole and bury them"
We would not use the milk from COW if
We knew she vas diseased in tile manner
stated, but We think we have done 50 without
