The Governor Proclamation


States Attorney Brown received letter
from Governor Mellette to day saying that a
copy Of the proclamation against importing
cattle from the fever district of Texas was
encloseti. The governor Inadvertently how
ever failed to enclose the proclamation
In his letter Governor Mellette states that
if deemed necessary he will appoint state
veterinarian protempore and if the provisions
Of the proclamation are not promptly COM
piled with he will come out in person and
devise means for their enforcement.
The proclamation provides that no cattle
from the infected districts shall be allowed to
enter the state, the 37th standard parallel
being the northern boundary and the east and
west boundary being the same as that estab-
llshed by Secretary Rusk last February. 1t
provides for stopages for feed and water and
for the giving of clearance papers, which duty
is assigned to the state board of health and
state veterinarian or their deputies. 1t is
better in some respects than the Wyoming
regulations which prevent the feeding or
watering in the state of all cattle enroute
through it. The proclamation will not hurt
in ally way the interests of local stockmen.

Report on Texas Cattle.

Sunday after tlis return from inspect
ing the Texas and local cattle in and
around Brennan station u UNION man in
tervlewed DR.. NJ. J. Treacy at the Harnev.
DR.. Treacy, who is now attached to the
Eighth cavalry at fort Meade, gr;idu-
ated twenty-five years ago from the
Royal Veterinary University OF England
and since then has been constantly en-.
gagged in the practice Of his profession.
He has had over ten years experience in
the southwest, west and northwest so
that his opinion carries with it the
weight OF an authority.
In answer to the reporters questions
DR.. Treacy said ~ took the tempera-
ture OF number and found it III every
case to be normal. Four hundred head
belonging to the TIT outfit which ex-
amined were in perfect health. I found
the report that number OF local cattle
had recently died from Texas fever to
be entirely without foundation. The
Texas, cattle did not begin to arrive at
Brennan until May l, and the six head
OF local cattle which it was reported
died OF Texas fever died ten days before
that date. visited three ranches and
could find no trace OF Texas fever. Re-
garding the Texas cattle and the great
number OF deaths among them it can be
said that the past winter in Texas was
q hard one on stock, so severe was it
that this spring cattle could he bought
down there at a very low price; in some
cases they were SO run down and po. r
when started that agreements were
made to the effect that only the number
OF cattle which landed here alive should
be paid for. The five hundred, more or
less, which were dead when they arrived
or died Immediately after being unloaded
died of starvation or from injuries, such
as being trampled upon, received en-
route.
NO TEXAS FEVER YET.
The symptoms OF Texas fever are
very PLAIN and specific and anyone who
has ever had any experience with it
could not make a mistake regarding il.
It shoGld be remembered that Texas
cattle donot die OF Texas fever, it is not
oss among them but among native cat
tie which is to be feared. The Texas cat
tie are inoculated with it in embryo and
always convey tile bacillarla of Texas
lever. It Is contagious disease and is
communicated to other cattle grazing
over the same land through the excre-
ment OF Texas cattle. The latter may
be perfectly healthy and yet convey the
disease just as there are authenticated
cases OF prisoners in former times con.
veying to Judge and jury Jail fever when
they themselves were free from it. The

In paper on the camel, Herr Leh-
mann states that neither heat nor cold,
nor extreme daily or yearly variations,
impede the distribution of the camel
each race of camels being, however,
best adapted to the conditions of its
native climate. The dromedary of tho
Sahara enjoys its best health in the
desert, though a day of tropical heat
may be followed by night several de-,
grees below freezing point, and daily
variations of sixty degrees occur. In
Semipolatuck, again, where camels are
found. the annual variation sometimes
reaches nearly $50 degrees. But the
camel is very sensitive to moisture,
and desert caravans run much risk in
entering regions Of tropical rain DUR
ing the rainy season. SIS
