AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE, MISS , !
Jane 25th, 1880 {
On June I0th, information was re-
ceived as the Station that Charbon
had broken cut among the mules in
the region Of Yazoo City; telegrams
stating that over fifty deaths had oc-
Cured already, and tat all animals
attacked died within twentg four
hours. The acting Veterinarian of
tie Station, Dr., g, G. Creelman,
was sent to the infected locality at
once, aud within 3 few days the
Station had also secured the assist. :.
ance of DR.. Wray of the =. S. De-
partment of Agriculture, and Or.
Connoway of The Missouri Station.
The work of the latter is rot yet
comp'eted, but as the disease seems
likely to spread somewhat widely
in the swamp region of tho state, 1t
is thought best TO publish the follow
ing treatment which has been almost
uniformly successful when used
promptly, and also to indicate the
common symptoms of the disease.
PREVENTIVE TREATMENT.
All animals should be Kept in a
cool place and protected from flies
and other insects. When at work,
care should be taken that they are
not overheated, and ON returning
from the field at night, they should
be washed all over with solution
consisting of one part crude car
bolic acid TO twenty parts wator.
One bucket full Of this will bathe
five animals. Give internally one
tai lespoon full of mixture con.
tanning equal parts of sulphur, salt
petre and cotton seed meal. This
should be given in the food three
times day.
SYMPTOMS OF THE DISEASE.
Usually Tor some hours before the
disease is manifested externally, tho
animal will appea- languid, the cars
droop, and signs Of general de-
preston may be noticed. The tenn
peraturo often rises as high as l04
+. and small swsllings often make
their appearance in the region Of
the breast, belly or throat. These
swellings, if not checked, continue
70 enlarge until the ANNUAL dies.
TREArMENT.
When the first symptoms are
noticed,the animal should be dronch-
ed Immediately with the following :
One tablespoon full each Of cblorate
Of potash and tincture Of nrriate Of
iron 10 . pint Of wator. Repeat
this every four hours. BGthe tho
fsffectsd psF'a With crystalixod cas.
