The Cattle Plague.


This disease has made it's ap-
pearance in the Northwest and
is destroying the cattle by thou
sands. 1t is generally believed
that the disease was introduc-
ed by Texas cattle. No reme-
dy for the terrible scourge has
as yet been discovered. The
Cincinnati Enquirer speaking
of the appe arance of the dis
eased cattle says:
''The first symptoms observ-
ed in the animals effected is a
dropping of the head, and a
general listlessness, followed
by a severe purging, which con-
tinues from u to Is hours,
when the animal becomes COS
tive, and there is no further
passage, except in occasional
cases a hard, arid substance of
a dark, bloody composition but
none of this substance is found
in the intestines of the animal.
The stomache and all the lar
ger intestines being filled with
a yellowish, watery substance,
intermixed with the undigested
food of the stomach. Stimuli
taneous with the dropping and
languid condition of the ami
NAL, reddish brown nits are OBJ
served upon the roots of the
hair; as well as minute para
sites, resembling in some few
characteristics, the common
COW lice and in others dog ticks,
and yet, in many other points,
dissimilar from both. These
ticks multiply in size and num-
Der with a marvellous rapidity,
and in a few hours; as if by
magic, the whole body is beset
by myirads of them, they being
found in far the greatest num-
Der about the neck, brisket and
withers. The insect, when full
grown, and gorged with blood
is nearly the size of a grain o.
millet, and, i'll general shape
pretty much the same. Wher
the animal dies, these lice, o.
whatever they apparently are
die and fall off, but while thu
animal is living it is impossible
to diSengage them whole"
