India has been noticeably succeeded
by an increase in the number of

FREE BLACkLEG VACCINE
Manufacturers and Department of Agricul-
ture Have an Issue.
The OMcials Hold 1t is Duty of tn
Government to Eradicate
the Disease.

The free distribution Of cattle blackleg
| vaccine by the Department of Agriculture
| is being vigorously protested against by the
| manufacturers who make and sell it, and a
| movement is in progress to have Congress
| interfere and forbid the further gratuitous
| supply.
The department, while regretting that any
| private industry is injured, declares that
| the necessity for prompt measures in
| stamping out the disease among cattle
justifes the means employed, and that it
| is the duty of the department to do every
| thing possible to eradicate the destructive
| malady.
1t also points out that it is able to manu-
| facture and distribute the vaccine at a
| cost of not exceeding 1 cent per ten doses
while the regular manufacturers charge
| from 10 to % cents per single dose. The
| remedy will not be given anything like a
| owners are compelled to pay the market
| prices for this vaccine, and it is in the in
| terest of the public health and the public
good to have the disease stamped out as
! quickly and completely as possible.
A Treatise Prepared.
The department has prepared in pamph-
| let form for. distribution among cattle own
ers treatise by DR.. Victor A. Norgaard,
| chief of the pathological division of the
~
the United States, and the distribution of
vaccine for us treatment. In this treatise
| the attitude of the bureau as to free dis
trlbutlon of vaccine is explained at length
In this connection" says Dr. Norgaard
1T may be well to mention that the dis
| tribution of backlog vaccine by this bureau
was undertaken simply for the purpose of
aiding the stock owner to combat this fatal
disease, and that there was no thought of
| entering the field for the sake of Compel
ing with the manufacturers or vendors of
blackleg vaccine, whatever may be the vir-
| tues or faults of their remedies. If any
stock owner thinks he can get more salts
| factory results and save greater number
of animals by using any of these there can
| be no objection to his doing So
After commenting at length. upon the
breaking out of the disease in this coun-
try and its spread among cattle, the writer
calls attention to the prices charged for
vaccine by manufacturers, and adds: I'm
der these circumstances it was clearly the
duty of the bureau of animal industry
under the law by which it is established. to
take up the problem of preventing and ul-
timately Graduating the disease; and it has
been great satisfaction to all concerned
to observe the alacrity with which thou
