A number Of cases of what appears
to be pneumonia in cattle, occurring in
the west. gives interest to informa-
tion about this disease. Prof. Mayo, of
Kansas, notes among symptoms cough
ing, especially when first turned out
or after lying down, and rapid and
labored breathing. He considers me-
dicinal treatment of little avail. The
animal should receive the best of care
protection from the weather, laxative
nutritious bnt not bulky food and pure
water. Cornstalks should not he fed
Alfalfa, millet or other hay should bc
sprinklcd to lay the dust. Sailing the
animal with mixture Of one pound
OF sulphur, one pound Of air
slaked lime. one pound of hvpo-
sulfitc of soda. all thoroughly pull
verized and mixed with ten pounds
of common salt, is good. A Tablespoons
full may be given once daily, the animal
being allowed to lick il. Bran mashes
to which is added some cotton seed or
oil meal are excellent.
