THE BUSINESS WORLD.
Uncle Jerry Rusk in Chicago on Two
Very Important Missions.
NEW MEDICINE FOR LUMPY-JAW.
Getting Ready to Inspect Vast Amount Of
Pork for Shipment.
FIRES, FAILURES AND RAILWAY NEWS

CHICAGO, July N.-Secretary Rusk ar
rived at the Grand Pacific Hotel this morn
ing, having come to Chicago in connection
with an experiment in which he takes q
lively interest, and which he is now prepar-
ing to try on a large scale, in the treatment
of the disease known as lumpy-jaw, or acti-
nomocosis, in cattle. This disease is caused
by a fungus which attacks various organs of
the body and which, when it causes swell
lings on the head, is known In this country
as lumpy-jaw.
1t is quite common in some parts of Europe
as an affection of the tongue, and has recent
ly been treated successfully by the internal
administration of iodide of potassium. It
had not been tried in the form of the disease
known as lumpy-jaw until within the last
two months, when one of the inspectors of
the Bureau of Animal Industry made an
experiment, in which it proved very sue
cessful.
The Secretary now expects to have this
treatment tested on 200 head of cattle af-
fected with lumpy-jaw SO as to determine
whether it will cure in all cases, or if not
in all cases. what proportion can be sue
doses of one to three drachms in water. A
dose should vary according to the size and
weight of the animal. If this proves as sue
cessful as Secretary Rusk expects, it will
enable the farmers of the country to cure
their cattle when the disease first appears,
and thus entirely prevent the loss which
occurs from it.
This treatment is safe and very simple,
and can be applied without danger by any
farmer. The affect of the medicine, in doses
of this size, is to cause some catarrh, cough
ing and also peeling Off of the skin, but this
does not lead to any bad results and should
cause no uneasiness., Improvement is gen.
orally noticed within ten days after Begin
ming the use of the medicine, and O cure
may be expected within q month.
Secretary Rusk is also interested in ex.
tending microscopic inspection OF pork.
The demand for inspected pork is conrin-
ually increasing. and as it brings about one
half a cent n pound more in American and
British markets than the unin inspected, there
are numerous demands for inspection. The
packing season begins in October, and the
Secretary desires to have his force in condf-
tion to inspect much larger number of car
casses than during the last season. The
markets OF Denmark, Germany, Austria,
France, Spain and italy have been open to
inspected pork during the last year, and it
requires very large quantity to supply
them.
The indication is that hereafter there will
be very considerable demand for inspected
pork in che markets of other countries, rs
well as those which will only take the in
spected article.
