How to Treat Cows Afflicted with This
Serious Malady.
The failure to chew the cud does not
indicate an actual loss Of the Cud itself.
or Of the power to bring it up fir pm the
stomach, but is a simple symptom OF
indigestion, which may be produced
by any one of several causes. 1t is sim
| ply q loss of appetite, and the animal
does not chew because it does not feel
the need OF the nutrition, which it ugu-
ally gains IN that manner, as it really
| gains but little or none from the food
swallowed without this mastication,
there being no digestion Of the solid
food until after il has passsd into the
fourth stomach which secretes the gas
trio juice. Liquid food passes directly
to this, as in the case of the calf when
drinking milk, and it may be possible
that some other food so passes without
being brought up in the cud. The ceas,
ing to chew the cud is an accompany
ing symptom Of several diseases, incIud-
ing all those which may be classed as
fever5 or which are marked by feverish
symptoms, including bronchitis, pleuro-
pneumonia, cattle plague, etc, and it
will be better to call III an expert Vete-
rinary to decide what may be the pri-
mary cause of the trouble. The old
fashioned remedies of a red herring, or
a piece Of salt pork sprinkied with
pepper, are only useful in stimulating
an artificial appetite, which might do
more harm than good. If the loss Of

IS THE SECRETARY IN ERROR

In spite of the announcement made
by Secretary Rusk, some months ago,
that not a single case of pleuro-pneu-
monia had been found in the United
States for a period of more than six
months then ending, British papers
allege that no less than twenty infected
animals from America have been
landed at British ports since the middle
Of October. They proceed, therefore,
to speak quite slightingly of the Secre-
tary's additional announcement, made
in January, that the disease has been
completely e~radicated. One Of our
exchanges adds to a very caustic COM
ment these words: mo number of
reports declaring the United States free
from infection will havean effect upon
us while the States send us a regular
supply of animals which, on slaughter.
are found by experts to be unmistak
ably affected with pleuro-pneumonia."
Has Secretary Rusk been altogether
mistaken in his declarations? If SO,
the fact should be admitted; else official
utterance5 Of our Department Of Agri-
culture will soon have no weight what
ever abroad.
