Nh, EDITOR The friohtful NOR
tality among the Mules and Horses
in this part Of the country, for some
months past has very naturally
awakened It spirit of enquiry as to
its cause and proper treatment.
Various theories have beenadvanced.
One, that the disease is due to the
unusual manner Of feeding-that is,
on shelled corn, which the hungry
animal swallows without subjecting
1t to the necessary preliminary pro-
cess Of maSticatiOn, and collie is the
result. Another, that it is the effect
of HaS00Rd corn. And yet another,
that it is the effect Of gnatS inhaled
into the lungs. Whatever may be
the true theory with regard to the
cause Of this dreadful disease, (epi-

ton is, what is the remedy ? and,

that the symptoms in these cases
were such as mark collie, with the
exception OF one important feature,
i. Q. instead Of the Suddenncss and
violence which usually characterize
cole. The animal was sluggish,
dropped, and lap-earcd some day or
two previous to the violent paFoXysm
which resulted in death.
Since the above experience, I have
had seventeen mules seized in the
manner described, all of which /
