Douglas County Cattle Disease.

Hon. T. B. Hickey says of the cat
tie disease now SO prevalent in Doug
las county, and which had run here
last season:
s'I have not seen the cattle, but from
what can learn of the matter | should
think that the trouble is leeches. |
lost a lot about seven years ago in the
same way. Like COINS cattle they
were feeding on low, marshy ground
and swallowed leeches in the water.
cat this time of the year there are
many stagnant pools in the marshes
and tules, where there are leeches by
the thousands, and the cattle take
them up in the water. They fasten
on the stomach and get into the blad-
der and the animal passes blood in the
urine and soon dies. AS soon as I
drove my cattle to dry ground they
were all right. I don't think there has
been any contagious disease there and
nothing like Texas fever. | only
reach the conclusion I do from what
I hear about the cattle; I have not
seen any of those affected. I think
if the dead animals were cut open
they would find that leechos have
caused all the trouble.

The Pilot Chart for May.

Transatlantic travellers this month may
see good deal OF fog and some icebergs.
The Pilot Chart issued by the photographic
Office predicts for May fair weather gen.
orally over the North Atlantic, with occa-
sional gales near the American coast and
along the transatlantic steamship routes
north of the 10th parallel Considerable in
crease In fog on the Grand Banks and
westward to the American coast. 1cebergs
between 40 degrees and 80 degrees west and
far south as Al 80 north. The northeast
trades will begin to extend farther north.
This indicates ice drift as far south as the
latitude of Boston, of the banks OF New
foundland. The review of the past month
show that the icebergs and drift were un-
usually thick, and extended far south. A
great field Of ice was packed against rhe
eastward coasts of Nova Scotia and Cape
Breton Island. blocking navigation even on
the southern coast. Halifax harbor was
blocked as late as the I'D ultimo. OBTAINING
in port six steamers and fifty sail. while
several steamers were overdue, presumably
on account of ice. No such blockade has
occurred in forty-two years.
