Ergot in Hay Said to be the Cause of
the Trouble in Kansas.
KENOsHO FALLS, KAN, March 22.-
The following veterinary surgeons have
been in consultation here and have made
thorough examination into the alleged
foot and mouth disease among the cattle
of this locality: DIR, Beatty, of the Breed
erS' GoSette, Of Chicago; Dr. ID. E. Salmon,
veterinarian for the Department of Agri-
culture; DIR. NJ. Thrumbower, of Sterling.
ILL.,; Dr. George c. Faville, Ofthe Colorado
State Agricultural College; DR.. E. E. Haz-
zard, an old Scotch surgeon, now of Lex
ington, Ky; DR.. Harris, of Lex
ingtOn, KY, and DIR. Stocker. of
Iowa. These gentlemen are positive
that they have discovered the source
of the trouble and all agree that
it is not epiZOOtic aphtha, lacking
many important symptoms of that dis
ease; it is not lack of care, neither is it
alkali water. 1t is no contagious dis
ease whatever, as not new case has ap-
peared for week in the infected herds,
although the weather has been moist and
warm.
ERGOT IN HAY THE CAUSE.
DR.. Salmon says that as soon as he
saw the cattle he thought of ergot, and
they proceeded to examine the hay. 1t con-
Jalneu large amount OF WlId rye, which
was full of ergOt. All the surgeons say
that they never saw one-twentieth part
as much ergOt in a bunch of feed. The
theory is that the ergOt, by contracting
the blood vessels ana otherwise retarding
circulation in the eXtremities, caused the
feed to freeze. While manv do not give
full faith to the verdict of these experts,
it was thought to be the duty of the COM
munity, in justice to the people of other
sections, to act in accordance with their
decision.
