End Of the Cattle Disease Scare.
NEosHA FALLS, kas.. March 22.-The
following veterinary surgeons have been
in consultation here and have made 4
thorough examination of the alleged
foot and mouth disease among cattle in
this locality: DR.. 5. Beatty, of Chicago;
DR.. ID. Z. Salmon, veterinary surgeon
for the Department of Agriculture DIR.
W. TrumbOwer, of Stirling, Ill. DR..
George G. Faville, of the Colorado State
Agricultural College DIR. +. +. Haz-
Ztrd, an old Scotch surgeon. now Of
Lexington, KY: DIR. Harris, of Lexing-
ton, Ky, and DR.. SGOcker, of Iowa.
These gentlemen are positive that they
have discovered the source Of the trOu-
bic and all agree that it is not epizoOtic
naptha, lacking many of the important
symptoms of that disease it ID not the
lack of care, neither is it alkali water !;
it is no contagious disease whatever, as
not new case has appeared for weeks
in the infected herds, although the
weather has bseu moist and wet. DR..
Salmon says that as soon as he saw
tho cattle he thought 1t was ergOt, and
then proceeded and examined the hay.
This had not been done before. They
found that it contained q large amount
Of wild rye, which was full of erROt.
The veterinary surgeons all state that
they have never seen One-twentieth
part as much ergOt in bunch seed. The
theory is that the ergOt, by contracting
the blood vessels and otherwise retard-
ing circulation in the sxtremities,
caused the feet to freeze. This ends the
great scare. While it has proved not to
be contagious disease, yet the people
Of this ssotion did only what it was pru-
dent to do. Finding a disease among
the cattle which they did not under
stand, they reported 1t to the Governor.
He applied to the General Governments
for ths best skill they could furnish.
The Depart Lent of Missouri sent an sx-
pert whom they fully recommended.
The Agricultural Department 1T Wash
ington sent another. Their decision has
been published far aud wide. While
many did not give full faith to the ver-
dict of these experts, it was thought to
b the duty Of the community. in JUS
tice to the people of other sections, to
act in accordance with their decision.
