Those who have had much experience
with Texas fever, who have watched the
Outbreaks i'm the Northern states, who have
followed Its ravages along the line of the
permanently infected district, and have
studied it in its native haints. are practically
unanimous in their conclusion that south
ern Cattle may be separated from susceps-
ible ONES by board fence, or that they
may even occupy the s.ne stable for an in
definite time, without causing the least ap-
pearanc.. of disease. There is equal una.
nimity in the conclusion that if these SIS
ceptible natives are placed rpon ground.
even though these be roads. yards or com.
mons, TO which the southern cattle have
had access within two, four or six months
they are liable to contract the disease in
its most virulent form. On the other hand
it's believed thIt the sick natives have new.
er conveyed the disease to other susceptible
animals either directly by contact or ind,.
rectly through the atmosphere or by
infrctiug the pastures on which they run.
Having frequently seen sick animals in the
same lot with susceptible well ones, and
having injected considerable, quantities Of
the blood Of recently dead animals beneath
the skin Of susceptible animals without any
transmission of the disease, am perfectly
convinced that this opinion is correct, am,
that the sick native animals are in no Sense
a source OF the infection.
In regard TO the Gsease being spread
from tile dead carcslsses we cannot be SO
cerasin. My Investigations indicate thai
the germs OF the disease exist In the spleen
and liver and it woi.ld not be unreasonable to
suppose that these organs carried about by
dogs oiother animals might in certain cases
be the means of injecting other pastures.
We do not know, however, that this has
ever occurred.
The real danger then, exists in the pas
lures or other grounds over which southern
cattle, whether sick Or well. lave tnveled
while the sick natives are harmless.
The southern cattle which convey the in
fection, do not as q rule, contract the dis

organs, possibly, also, in the liver and
though when in a vigorous condition they
are insusceptible to the influence of these
germs, when exhausted by the hardsllips
of travel they frequently saccumb to them.
There is, consequently, distinction to be
drawn between the sick native animals and
those from the South which have sickened;
the former do not i"fect pastures, the latter
in all probability DO infect them.-From
