cRooksToN, MlNN.-Dr s. o. Brim-
hall. state veterinarian, accompanied by
E. H. Beckman bacteriologist, are in tho
city comforting with Dr. Langevin over
some cases Of so-called swamp fever The
disease has caused immense losses to
farmers during the past ten years. The
state is at present working on the sub
ject with the idea of proving it that 1t
originates in a germ for which a vaccine
or anti-toxin may be secured. To this
end q large range of country Is bclng
visited. Many farmers In Polk county
have lost horses and the disease has been
particularly severe in the southern part
of the county. The symptoms are gen.
eral lassitude, followed by weakness Of
the back, wobbly gait and much fever,
terminating in death after a period OF
three weeks. The disease prevails mostly
during August and September. DIR. Brim-
hall thinks he Is in fair way to dis
cover the germ, and as soon as possible
will make test on some animals at the
headquarters Of the state board OF health
