lands adopted the following resolu-
ton, offered by Mr.. Mondell, OF

object the general cession of the

territories, or the general leasing OF
the public grazing lands, be disposed
of by laying same upon the table. "

RlocL-1ao ic ono of the moot


From the Dodge City Live Stock Journal.
Black-leg is one of the most pre-
valent and fatal diseases with which
cattle are afflicted. 1t attacks prin-
cipally animals of from six months
to two years of age, but younger
and older cattle are also susceptible
to the disease. Black leg is known
by variety of names, such as
"symptomatic antrix", ''black quar-
ter" "quarter evil" "carbuncle
fever" etc. In France it is called
"carbon-symptomatique," in Ger
many "rauschbrand," etc.
CAUsEs-Black leg is germ dis
ease, the germs entering the body,
usually with food, but sometimes
through scratches or sores in the
skin. The germs are very hardy,
and live in the soil for a number of
years. They may be carried long
distances and be deposited upon
lands heretofore uninfected. The
grave of an animal that has died
from black leg will keep pasture
infected for several years, and cattle
grazing upon such pasture are
liable to contract the disease; a
stream running near such grave
will carry the infection all along its
course, and grass cut near the spot
will communicate the disease to the
animal fed upon it. Cattle driven
through district where the germs
of black leg exist are liable to, and
frequently catch the disease. The
germs multiply so rapidly and are SO
easily conveyed that an entire herd
may become infected from single
case.
SYMPToMS.-The characteristic
symptom of black leg is the appear
ance of a swelling or tumor under
the skin. This tumor is usually
found on the thighs, though it may
appear on the neck, shoulder,
breast or tanks. If the swelling is
stroked or handled peculiar, crack
ing noise is heard under the skin,
and when it is cut into, a frothy,
dark, disagreeably smelling fluid, or
a foul smelling gas is discharged.
The same diseased condition causes
a high fever and gives rise to dull
ness, debility, and loss of appetite
and rumination. Sometimes an
animal lies down before any swelling
is noticed, and the disease may de-
velop so rapidly that it will not be
able to rise again, and death result
in eight or ten hours. Or it may be
able to get up and walk about for a
time, but the lameness and general
condition grow steadily worse until
death occurs in two or three days.
Post mortem examination dis
closes, in addition to the character
istic tumor, infiltration of the tissues
under the skin with blood, and a
yellowish, jelly-like substance and
gas bubbles. The muscular tissue
beneath the swelling is soft and
easily torn and broken up. The
spleen is much enlarged and the
blood tarry and coagulation feeble.
TREATMENT Black leg is an in

We notice that stock farmers have
lately adopted new method of con-
structing watering troughs for their
stock. Instead of the old cypress
tubs, or round bottomed pine
troughs, they now put in piece of
twelve inch wide plank on each side
and end of the trough, forming the
sides of a box, roughly nailed
together; about eight inches outside
of this they put another, filling in
with mud. The bottom is dirt only.
This when pumped full of water will,
after the first day, hold just as good
as an expensive trough, and can be
built at about one-tenth of the cost.
