In answer to questions sent out by the
Husbandman, their correspondent in
Gallatin county replies as follows: In a
section of this county about ten miles
square about one hundred horses died
from peculiar disease, They became
stupid, held their heads down, were
weak in their loins and behind general
ly. They eat and drank as usual, and
their bowels and water were in good
condition The seat of the disease is in
the spinal column and the artery along
the back, which is usually infamed and
often maturated. IL extends through
the arteries and veins in other places
more or less, also to the lungs and heart;
but in all of them that were examined
the principal seat of the disease was the
artery along the back and the spinal
column. They will get apparently stiff,
reel, their heads usually low, eat sparing.
their bowels very costlve, and urinate
sparingly or not at all One mare which
was examined, one of her kidneys was
found to be enlarged and her bladder
was empty and dried up, They often
fall over on their heads and die again
they will get down on their sides and
strike with their feet and head until
they die. A veterinarian from Helena
examined some of Wakefield & Hof-
mans that were suffering from this dis
ease, and pronounced it a catarrhal fever
His remedies did no good. From my
investigations feel certain it Is cerebral
meningitis, principally in the chronic
form, but sometimes acute. / will in
vestigate the matter further and expect
to find both a preventive and cure.
When get all the information that l
can on the subject, will write you the
result. No disease among cattle loss
from all causes for the year, two per
cent?. Some scab among sheep, but not
wolse than usual loss does not exceed
five per cent?. Condition of swine is
good no loss from disease.
Two men, Felix Constant and Melon
