upon striking oyer the lungs there
will be given back in the earlier
stages a clear resonant sound. later
it will be dull and heavy. So in
the first stage there will be dry
cracking sound, later it will be 4
whistling or rough breathing. Any
of these may be distinguished
from the sound occasioned by per
cussion upon an animal in health.
Remedial measures for the evil
seem useless, since it is disease
with which the veterinary alone
can cope, and then, only when per
feet isolation can be procured.
Hence the owner suspecsing it in
his herd, if unable to secure
a professional man, should kill
the animals so affected at once and
either burn or deeply bury the
bodies, since in the attempt to cure
one animal the whole herd may,
and probably will, be attacked.
These are the chief features Of
this terrible disease, bat it is time
that some measures should be taken
for the safety Of the country at
large as at the present moment the
power Of the State
seems to be entirely porerless to |
act in the matter. Truly yours.

| S2EEVN
| No agricultural exhibit in Ne
vada ever started under more favor
able auspices than the Fair now be
ing held at Reno.
The policy of the Agriculture
| Society in times past, was to make
1t a Reno affair alone, aud have i,
little more than a show for Washoe
county. Under broader manage
ment this year, the Board was
drawn from all the counties in the
State. The newspapers were more
literally ratronized, and as re-
suit, tie Agricultural Society are
enabled to present FOR the consid
eration Of visitors, an exhibit Of
which they need not be ashamed.
THE RACING.
The purses on the aggregate foot
up $lo,000, and the speed pro-
gramne is splendid one. It has
drawn together at the track, some
of the most noted running and trot
ting stock on the coast, and the
sagebrush men got in good on Non
day, when the running race was
taken by Miss CourtIana, a Nevada
product, owned by Thee. Winters
Visitors are delightod with the fact
that the races arc run on time, and
there is no long delay, to enable
the pool box to get its sas in to the
detriment Of the public,

honest horse racing, and that the
programme has not been fixed up

latter may be broken up and the Peru Browns
reap the advantage by getting the disbanded

good fellows, but they know as little about
the art of base ball playing as a COW does
about music. In fact the Browns never
played a game worth attending that they did
not import one half Of the talent from the La
