which has been traversed by those
from Texas; in other cases there il NO
doubt that the disease 10 propagated
through the excrements coming in
contact with the food, and 80 being
taken into the stomach Of the animal.
The first indication of the presence
OF this disease consists In an increased
heat Of the animal, as shown by the
thermometer. The natural heat is
about 100 deg. Fahrenheit. The tenn
perature in those first beginning to be
affected would be l02 or 103 deg, while
in the more advanced stages ofthe dis
ease 1t rose as high as l06 or 107 deg. +.
and even the internal organs immedi-
ately after the animal was slaughtered,
would carry the mercury up to l06
deg. A fully developed case presents
the following symptoms: An arched
back; head carried low down; ears
dropping; eyes staring. with dull,
glossy appearance; tremulous and stag
gering in the hind quarters; the debiI-
ity becomes so great With refusal to
eat that the animal lays down and is
unable to rise; death closes the scene.
Carbolic acid is an absolute and per-
feet disinfectant. 1t not only de-
stroys the ordor, but kills the virus of
the disease, and we would advise all
stock men to sprinkle the substance
know as heavy oil. which contains
about 10 per cent of cartolic acid.
abuDdantly about the yards and stables
or where they run. Ifthey have been
exposed. or the disease 10 in the coun-
try, put carbolic acid into the water

part pure acid with thrice its own
weight Of sal soda, to the thousand

the arrest of lie Duke. which WAS put
into Sheriff Ryan's hands, he in turn
