Chambers in Horses.

President Lautard in the American Agrioulturist,
Every HORSEPOWER is more or less acquainted
with that loathsome disease, the CHAMBERS, and
every one should be aware that 1t Is both conta-
giOus and fatal not only to horses. but also TO
mankind The fact that the disease has to this
day baffied all treatment is sufficient reason WHY
the detection of CHAMBERS In q stable Is ALWAYS
looked upon as serious. If the disease ALWAYS
assumed the same characters, if every glandered
sentially belonging to it-namely. the greenish
sticky, and at times bloody discharge at the
nOse the hard, painless and adherent swollen
glands at the jaws, and, above ALL the peculiar
and characteristic alterations OF the mucous
membrane upon the cartilage Of the cavities
OF the nose-there would be no difficulties in
recognizing tho disease, and condemning the
animal thus afflicted as most dangerous But
this fs not always the case. This disease as
sumes many forms. Sometimes only slight
glandular enlargement, again discharges from
the nostrils, while in third animal neither Of
these will exist. and only small ulcers will be
detected In the upper angle of the nOstrils. Still
the animal Is just as dangerous as II 1t showed
all the symptoms fully developed; in fact. even
more dangerous for, while In this condition, it
may apparently be In perfect health, its skin pre-
senting nothing unusual to the ordinary OBJ
server. The horse may remain In good condi-
tion. feel as we'll as ever, be able to do its work
and remain thus for months and communicate
the CHAMBERS to many animals who may come in
contact with 1t. 1t Is necessary to detect the
disease at the start, and for this no one
should be better qualified than the regular vete-
rinarian; he who has by his studies become ia
miliar with the different aspects Of the disease.
III once detected, there must be no hesitation;
certainty OF the existence Of the disease should
mean death to the animal affected. Unless 1t Is
Killed. most serious, even fatal consequences,
may follow.
The duty Of the owner Of an animal In sus-
plcious condition Is to have 1t examined at once
III there Is no doubt about the disease the horse
must be at once destroyed. II there is doubt.
1t should be Isolated, and rather than wait for
the development of all the symptoms, which
may take long time, incubation of the matter
from the discharge can be made on an old horse.
dog or rabbit, but still better on an old
mule or donkey. This incubation will pro-
duce CHAMBERS, no matter how small the GUAM
tity OF the virus, ii taken from a glandered
