CATTLE PLAGUE OF 1747,
hazard the prediction that our mysteriou
catle plague will be pronounced yery Of
and simple disease after all. A M.. job
Hardy, who lived at Moultoa In the 18th Ger
tnly, TINS describes the epidemic which rage
u this country in 1747 and It will thesei,
oe perceived how very similar In nearly ii
respects was the epidemic of that time to th
present Mr. Hardy says:

TINT " whatever orders were made by The

sn1. Snlte s9cn unimporta4t facts should have
survived, We have no Information as to the
treatment Of the disease. From the dates in
Mr: Hardy's diary, It would appear that the
plague ragged with more or less intensity In
this country during aapaee Of ten years.
TREATMENT B1 HOMEOPATHY.
70 long as the Royal Commission does not
pronounce It's decision, VIC are compelled to
ie resort 70 private sources for Information upon
the disease and the mode of treatment. /

FIRST SYMPTOMS OF TnR DISEASE
:, Whatever may be thought Of tho above
treatment and suggestions, allopathists and
homoopath'sts alike will do well to take
mole n, q q ne following advice. Mr.. Moore
!!afly examine the nose. A cow apparently

1als may be dlscoyercd BY observing that tie
upper part Of the ale (8iags) Of the openings
ot the uostrils are swollen and shining. and
Inc deEy part Of white noses marked With
numerous snail slate colored spots, fiat, and
aot raised above the surface. This Is, I Be-
iere, an original observation Of considerable l.
'afue, and symptom to be met With In ove-
y case at least twenty -four hours before the |
appearance ofanY others

BLEEDING FOB THE PLAGUE. .
Another treatment, that of bleeding: Is u
1ggested By writer in our Gardeners Chron- 4
fe and Agricultural Ga1ttte. His rrasons are y
srtainly plausible, for he says: 'tIn intlam- \
