A Bad Cattle Disease.

Venice farmers are badly frightened
because of serious cattle disease which
has appeared in herds in that vicinity.
The disease is almost invariably fatal
within AZ hours. AS it chooses the best
cows in the herd, there is reason for the
alarm.
The animals are at first seized with
severe pain. Running at eyes and
nostrils, and severe fever followed by a
crazed condition during which the COW
plunges wildly, and lastly severe diar-
rhea and bleeding at the nose, finally
death ensuing.
Among the losers is j. G.. Olney, of
Venice, in whose herds the disease
killed eight fine animals. State Live
Stock Commissioner Kinds, of Stanton,
has been investigating the trouble, but
cannot diagnose it. Mr.. Kinds also
found hog-cholera quite prevalent in
the southern half of the county.
