special from Woonsocket, D. T, says
Drs. Neville and Hull, Judge Reed, and
Mr.. Rugg recently visited John Browns
herd of cattle, which is said to be
afflicted with the fatal foot-and-mouth
disease. No new cases have occurred
within a week, and the cattle are un-
doubtedly improving. Out of herd of
260, since November SO have died.
Mr.. Clarkson, just from England,
says it is undoubtedly the foot
and mouth disease. The symptoms are: /:
Fever, short breath, tendency to lie down

no inclination to eat or drink; mouth and
throat full of cankerous sores; nose and
eyes run; throw head on one side. If
the disease settles in the feet the cattle
get lame and either recover or die in a
day or two. Among those that die, the
stomach and bowels mOrtify. Several
cases are reported in other herds.
Ninety-seven of the cattle affected

Vernon, Dakota. Some were lame at
the time. Seventy-eight of the ninety
seven have died. The disease generally
disappears when grass comes. 1t be-
comes malignant on dry feed. Mr..
Brown and his family have suf-
fered with sores on their hands and
bodies from handling the stock. The
whole herd of 26O were more or less af-
fectcd. Many of the cattle lost their
hair. A number are still lame with swelled
ankles, but all are recovering, and
the herd is in average flesh. Cows were
affected with Swelled udders and sores on
the teats. Calves die from the disease at
once if sucking diseased cow. 1t is the

Veterinary Surgeons should make an in
