ANALYZING THE DISEASE.
What the Department Says Abou

Chamberlain, Dec. 7.-During the
past few weeks a number OF farmers
in this vicinity have lost from three TO
ten or a dozen head of cattle each
from causes which battle those who
are expert in such matters. In near
ly every instance the death of the cat
tie resulted Immediately after turning
the animals into fields containing
co%rnstalks The matter was reported
to DIR. ID. +. Salmon, chief OF the bu-
reau of animal industry at Washing
ton, who has now replied that n
cause of the death of b cattle is
known I O his bureau as "ToXamia Mai
dis" The authorities have lately been
investigating the disease, but have not
vet found the cause. Although the
cattle are first affected in cornstalk
fields, il is given as the opinion OF
Chief Salmon that the disease is not
directly due To smut-as many farm
ers b~eiieved-or the cornstalks. 1t IL
thought to be caused by germs, or
from chemical poison in certain stalks.
Pending n careful investigation Dr.
salmon advises farmers to keep their
cattle away from standing cornstaiks.
A curious feature of the matter is that
when the stalks are cut and properly
cured the disease, which Is not con-
tagious, does not appear.
