There has been some excitement
here over the foot rot among COWS.
This disease had broken out in one of
the largest herds, some so cows, in
town. The cause was allowing or
compelling the COWS to wallow
through muck bed that ought to
have been spread on the land. The
same cause has had the same effect
for so years on the same farm upon
sheep and cows, causing an incurable
foot rot, and yet few dollars in
fencing would have saved the loss.
The present owner has lost over $500
this season with milk at $40 per ton.
