Foot and Mouth Disc ase.

The Vermont experiment station
has sent out the following statement
as to the symptoms of foot and
mouth disease now raging in this
and other states. Inasmuch as the
veterinarian of the station has been
placed in charge of the suppressi on
of the malady in Vermont by the
Chief of the National Bureau of An
imal Industry, the statement may be
considered authoritative.
This disease is a highly contag-
ious eruptive fever resembling in
many ways some of the contagious
eruptive fevers common to man.
Il usually attacks cattle, sheen. or

being most and horses least open to
attack.
symptoms. From "a hours to IA
days may ensue after exposure be-
fore the symptoms become manifest.
The onset of the disease is marked
by dullness, shivering and loss of |
appetite. The mouth is hot and the
eyes are often swollen and fearful. |
Discomfort in the feet is shown by |
moving Them uneasily about. When
the animals are caused to move they
appear stiff and lame, keeping the
feet close together. Very soon blis-
ters appear in the mouth, on the in
side of the lips, upon the tongue and
gums and more or less upon the out
side of the lips and muzz1e. These
also appear round the top of and be-
tween the claws and frequently upon
the udoer and teats, The discom fort
due to the blisters in the mouth
causes the animal to move the lips
almost constantly with a character
istic smacking sound. These are
soon ruptured, and a yel1owish,
'opy, sometimes blood-stained saliva
,ozes from the mouth. Irregularly
haped red ulcers then form in the
mouth, and more or less liberation

The reason of their refusal is a lu-

extremely superstitious the race is.
