Breaks Out Among the Cattle In Stsrke
County.
The Knox Crescent says that pecu-
liar disease has broken out among the
cattle of Oregon township and quite a
number are dying FROM it. The first
cases occurred last winter when far
mer living near the st. Joseph county
line, lost II head. As there were no
other cattle attacked 1T was supposed
10 be local and caused by either the
feed or the water. The present win
ter, however, 1t hes appeared on sew
erai farms and il is now feared it may
become epidemic. The general appear
ance and symptoms of the disease re-
semble smallpox. The cattle are first
attacked by fever and in a short time
pustules make their appearance oil
over the body. These pustules gather
pus and break, forming large seabs
Ii the animal has not become too much
debiiitated it now stands good chance
OF recovery. Tire -disesse saps sll the
vitality of the cattle and they lose flesh
rapidly. No one seems to know what
the disease is or how it came TO be con
tracted in the country.
