Clay has addressed letter to the Secretary
Of State, dated st. Petersburg, October 18th,
in which he says:
deem it my duty to warn the United
States against the importation of the cattle |
plague into our country. Being a farmer
and feeling great interest in such a sub |
ject, have read everything upon the sub
ject which is acceptable, and will give you |
only the result of my conclusions and OBJ
servations.
The cattle plague is the Russian cattle
pest in this country. It is always more or
less prevalent, and kills whole herds, like
cholera. 1t is both infectious and contagi- |
Gus, by this mean to say that ii is eommu-
nieated from one animal to another by phys |
ical imposition of the virus upon any ami |
NAL from any object containing the virus. |
1t may be carried in the air and thus pro-
duces the disease.
