TURKEY eUzzARD PUT UNDER
THE BAN.
WARNING BY Or. KNOWLES
Black PIumaged Bird Likely to In.
troduce Anthrax Into Herds
Of Montana.

Back again to his own vine ant
fig tree, fresh from the sessions o.
the American Veterinary Medical as
ISOLATION at Minneapolis. DR.. M. e
Knowles, Montana's veterinarian. has
taken up q campaign against the tur
key buzzard, that black plumaged
bird that desires it's appetite whetted
by nothing better than a carcass that
has lain days upon the. plains, saws
the Independent. 1t Is to be a cam.
paign to the death, and the state
veterinarian is waging it in order that
the stockmen OF the state may be spar.
ed the loss that may come from an
epidemic Of that dread disease an
thrax.
AT the recent meeting Of 4our as
ISOLATION" said DR.. Knowles yester-
day, ut was demonstrated beyond the
shadow of a doubt that the turkey
buzzard is a a carrier of anthrax. This
fact was shown incontrovertibly by
DIR. knight, the state veterinarian of
Texas. and l determined that when
came home l would take such steps
as I could to prevent a possible in
PRODUCTION of anthrax through the
buzzard's agency.
OF interest to Montana.
The demonstration made at the
convention on this subject by DR..
knight is Of especial interest to Mon
because Of the fact that anthrax
exists in North Dakota and Nebraska.
and 1t would be no difficult thing for
the disease to be introduced into this
state by the buzzards. On my way
home from Minneapolis l made a trip
along the Big Muddy in Valley county,
and while out / saw several buzzards.
I'VE have never had q case OF an
thrax in Montana, but the disease
works havoc among stock in Texas
and along the Mississippi delta. It
Is Ell panzootic disease with three
acute, the sub-acuteS and
the very acute. Like blackleg, it
kills in a few hours. while |
in other cases it will not prove fatal
less than three or four days;
it proves fatal in the end. It af-
.ects all species Of stock, and even
man is not immune when the disease
its work.
Il have examined the code and find !,
nothing relative to the killing Of buzz
ards, but to make sure | have asked
he attorney generals. Office to look
INTO the matter. If there is a law
hat protects the buzzard it ought to
'e repealed at the first opportunity,
md the ranchers and stockmen ought
o keep their guns loaded for the I'M
;ainly bird. A stitch in time saves
line, according to the old saw, and
we want to do in Montana is to
the buzzard from introducing
isease by killing him Off"
