quired, and, all told, the vaccination must
have amounted to more than a million.
vACCINATING CATTLE.

vACCINATING CATTLE.
The supplying the vaccine matter for
this work was a serious undertaking. AT
first vaccine points by the thousand were
imported from the United States. The long
sea voyage destroyed the virus and Major
Ames found that he would have to make
his own vaccine matter here.
For this reason he tried to vaccinate the
Porto Rican cattle, but the results at first
were unsatisfactory. Our cattle when vac
cinated develop blisters and sores just like
those which appear on the arms OF human
beings when so inoculated. The matter
which oozes out from these sores is put
upon the points used for vaccination of
human beings. The Porto Rican cattle
when vaccinated formed hard round scabs
without pus. At first DR.. Ames thought
that the operation had been OF no effect.
BY squeezing the scabs, however. he discov-
cred that they produced drops OF vaccine
matter and that from these he could make
the points required.
The next thing was to establish a vaccine
farm. He did this near Coamo Springs and
In a few weeks had here the largest vac
cine farm on record. He secured about
1900 animals ranging, from eight months to
one year old. The vaccination did not in
jure the cattle, and the big stock dealers
Of the island furnished them for nothing.
on the simple condition that they were to
be returned in good order.
Each of the animals was first examined
to see that it had no tuberculosis or other
diseases. Its temperature was taken again
and again, and 1t was given a place on the
government record. When vaccinated 1T
was numbered with a zinc tag, and the
t.t~ 10
from it were marked to correspond with
this tag, so that an exact record Of every
point could be had.
During my stay at Coamo Springs I
learned something of how the beasts were
vaccinated. Each animal, after being
tested and found free from disease, is
brought up beside folding table, the top
of which stands perpendicularly against the
side of the animal. The beast is now tied
to the table, and by twist the top is
raised and laid horizontally on the legs of
the table with the beast on top of it.
Now the doctors shave all the hair from
a place as big as your two hands on one
side of the belly, exposing the skin. which is
as soft and tender as that of child This
is scraped for time with a sharp knife
until the blood shows through the skin, and
upon the sore spot the vaccine matter is
rubbed. The animal is then turned over
and a spot upon its other side is vaccinated
ins the same way.
1t is found that nearly all the animals
take, and Dr. Ames tells me Re has OBJ
tanned many as 1900 points from single
beast. One Of the queer things about the
farm is the method of distinguishing the
cattle vaccinated from day to day. Those
which are treated one day have their horns
painted red, those of the next day have
their horns painted blue and those of the
third day yellow. In this way the groups
can be easily distinguished and the vaccine
maSter gathered at just the right time.

SCHURMAN REPORTS.
He Finds That the onditions In tho South
ern Islands of tho Archipelago Arc
Very satIsfac; ory.

WARRINGTON, July 10.-DIspatchcs
have just been received at the state
department from President Schurman'
of the Philippine commission, Civ
ing some account of his jour
ney to the southern islands OF
the archipelago. He finds the con-
ditions in those islands extremely
gratifying. There is disposition al
most everywhere south of Luzon to ac-
cept American sovereignty. President
Schurman expects to arrive at San
Francisco about the 18th of August.
1t is felt at the state department
that the commission has done much TO
convey to the native Filipinos proper
conception of the purposes of the
United States government and in that
way has sapped the strength of the
insurrection.
