The Western horse is threatening us
with glanders, says Dr. George II. Bailey |
of the Maine cattle commission. "There
were sixty-four cases Of the disease In
Maine last year and fifty of them were
western horses, that had been jmported
into Maine. The northern bred horse an
pears by his constitution to be better able
to fight tho disease than the western or
southern animal. I'm anxious about this
increase Of the disease in Maine for host
lers and owners, In my opinion, are moro
liable to be infected with the disease than
horses, In that tho handlers come moro in
contact with the horses in dosing or car
Ing for them. We have had several deaths
from CHAMBERS among Maine horsemen
already"
