A Terrible Disease the Spread of Which
Should lie Carefully Guarded Against.

A Terrible Disease tho Spread of Which
Should BE Carefully Guarded Against.
So much interest has recently been
aroused regarding the prevalence Of
'lump- actinomycosis of cattle
that we have endeavored to obtain
authentic data as to the existence and
spread of the disease throughout the
West. 1t may be taken for granted,
however, that as q rule farmers do not
care to tell all they know about the
disease, although it would be to their
own best interests to do so. They are
afraid of causing a scare about the dis
ease, thinking that an alarm of that
sort might hurt the cattle business, and
lead to even lower prices than those
which at present obtain. The Farm
ers' Review, far from seeking to do any
injury to the business, would help it by
spreading the information about the
disease which seems most necessary
and at the same time would impress
upon all of its readers the advisability
of killing out the disease wherever it is
detected. Nothing is to be gained by
silence in such cases. Concerted action
among farmers would soon eradicate
the trouble and such action, we sincere
~ trust, will be taken now before the
disease has spread to a serious extent.
Our readers may count upon one thing
as certain in this connection, viz, that
all "lump-jaw" cattle coming to the
Chicago market will be condemned and
sent to the rendering tank. There is,
therefore, no use of trying to smuggle dis
eased cattle through this market; and
sending them here means positive loss
for the shipper. From the inquiry we
have made, we conclude that farmers do
not consider the disease contagious or
infectious; but many of them are of the
opinion that it is hepditary-is handed
down by diseased stock to their progeny.
/ 1t would, we think, be more correct to
say that the disease is invasive-that it
floats in the air, and is ever ready to
take root and thrive in wounded sur
faces or such assesses as are found in
connection with decayed teeth. Our
correspondents are not agreed as to
whether the disease is spreading or not.
Some say it is less noticeable, while
others report that it is more prevalent
than ever before. The majority, per-
haps, favor the idea that the trouble is
becoming more common than in the
mast

CATTLE IN THE UNITED STATES


Fairly Accurate Estimates Show an In
crease of Thirty Three Per Cent. In
Ten Years.
According to the last report of the De-
partment of Agriculture, the number OF
uiilch cows is necessarily increasing,
somewhat unequally, as attention is 10.
eally directed to dairying. The dairy Is

ers, not only for milk, but for butter,
Notwithstanding Western competition.
Creameries are still increasing in the
New England States, as farmers keep
the skim milk for feeding, and thus re-
tain the fertility of their lands Vir-
ginia and North Carolina are engaged in
iairying operations considerably, max
ing demand for cows. Wisconsin and
Minneso ia are rapidly increasing num-
bers of mich cows, and introducing or
breeding Jerseys and other milk breeds.
The estimated number of mich COWS on
farms is estimated at 1882, 8S3.
The winter of 1SSS-S9 was favorable
for range cattle, and numbers are in
creasing. The aggregate of present
local estimates is 36,S49,024 on farms
and ranches of the United States. So
large a proportion are now raised in the
arid belt, where the official or assessors
returns are SO unequally Incomplete,
where taken at all, that there is no
available basis for such estimate. Sew
eral Territories have no collection Of
such statistics, and in several of the
Governors annual reports of 1889 there
is no attempt to estimate the number OF
| farm animals. In the older States tho
assessors returns range from one
| tenth to nine-tenths in complete
ness, according to the varying pro-
visions of law and more widely varying
diligence and thoroughness in making
returns. Many of the States make no
returns of young animals, and there are
many exemptions which, aside from the
wretched incompleteness of returns in
large proportion of the States, render
them misleading and unreliable.
The winter losses on the range con-
stitute another element of uncertainty.
They are light in some winters, and in
others very heavy, and only partially
known to the ranchmen themselves, ex-
cept as approximately determined at
the summer roundup. The difference
between loss of five per celt. and
twenty-five is demoralizing element
in stock estimates, as we'll as in stock
profits. The apparent numbers, as
estimated indicate an increase in ten
years of forty per cent in cattle other
than mich COWS, and thirty-three pei
cent. in all cattle. They come to maturity
somewhat earlier, and it is found that
beef can not be made at a profit without
steady discriminating, summer and win
ter This causes some increase in this
amount of beef produced. -Westerr
