New cattIe Disease In Elk county

Some weeks ago the State Live Stock
Sanitary Commission was asked to in
vestlgate the cause Of the death Of
number of cattle about six miles south
of Fall River, in Elk county. At the
time it was supposed that the trouble
was hydrophobia, but DR.. Paul Fischer,
the State Veterinarian, does not agree
with this idea. He says that the trouble
is acute indigestion. He is satisfied that
it is not at all contagious, but herd of
1000 head, in which the infection was
first reported, is quarantined. About
fifty head have died. Several head were
killed and their bodies were carefully
examined with the result that stomach
trouble was found to be the cause Of
death.
