Ergot the aus of the Disease.
NEosHA FALLS, KS, March 22.-Veterin-
airy surgeons have been in consultation
here and have made a thorough examina-
ton OF the alleged foot and mouth disease
among the cattle in this locality. They
are positive they have discovered the
source of the trouble, and all agree that
it is not q contagious disease, as not q new
case has appeared for weeks in the infected
herds. although the weather has been
moist and wet. DR.. Salmon says that as
soon as he saw the cattle he thought Of
ergot and then proceeded to examine the
hay. This had not been done before.
They found it contained a large amount Of
wild rye, which was full of ergot, The
surgeons all say they never saw one-twen-
tieth part as much ergot in q bunch Of
feed. The theory is that the ergot JON
tracted the blood-vessels, and otherwise re-
tarding circulation in the extremities,
causing the feet to freeze.
