4 NEW DISEASE AMONG CATTLE.
The State Veterinarian at Clemson
Tells of Some Recent lnvesti-
cations He Has Been
Making.

Columbia, Nov. 3O.-Within the last
month Dr.. Louis A. Klein OF Clemson,
the State veterinarian, has rceiveo
letters from number Of farmers con-
corning a disease, unfamiliar to them,
which was causing the death OF their
calves and yearling cattle. This dis
ease was manifested by the following
symptoms: Gradual loss OF condition
and strength, with the animals iced
ing we'll; soft, sack-like swelling
under the jaw, which was not hot or
tender; scours; sometimes a watery
discharge from the eyes. The animals
usually lived one to three months after
being attacked. Only young cattle
we're affected, even where the old
cattle used the same pasture and barn.
Of the cases reported only three re-
covered. On one farm the young cat
tie had been carried off in this way
for three years.
Investigation of the disease has not
been completed, but on several farms
visited it was found that the trouble
was caused by small worms, one hall
to one inch long and about as thick
as a hair. In fact, at first sight,
they had the appearance of short
white hairs, but on closer examination
the larger worms show red stripe
curling through the body like cork
screw, the red stripe on the white
background presenting the appearance
of barber's pole. These worms,
which are known as the twisted-wire
worm. also as the stomach worm,
were found by thousands in the fourth
stomach of the affected animals ex-
amined, lying in the mucous of the
| stomach wall and scatterd through the
contents of that organ They live on
the blood and body juices Of the AMI
| NAL they inhabit, thus depriving the
animal of the nourishment which 1t
should derive from its food.
These worms are constantly passing
out of the affected animal, dropping On
the grass or into pools Of water, and
| when other cattle eat the grass OF
drink the water, they become infect
| ed with the disease The escape OF
the older cattle from the fatal effects
of the disease is explained by the fact
that because of their greater strength
they are able to withstand the attacks
Of the worms, but, although they dc
not show the symptoms of the disease,
they may, nevertheless, play an i'm.
portant part in the infection of the
| pasture.
Farmers who have had the disease
among their cattle should not, there
fore, put young cattle on the pastures
which have been used by the sick cat
tie, or which have been used by the
| older cattle which have been running
with the sick cattle. If it is not pos
sible to put the young cattle in g
clean pasture, the infected pasture
should be burned off whenever The
grass is in suitable condition. 1t i:
important also to see that the pasture
used by the young cattle does not re-
ceive drainage from the infected pas
ture. If this course is followed, the
disease will be eredicated from the
farm.
Medical treatment of the sick ami
NAL usually yields satisfactory resul +
if begun in time. The details Of thi:
/ treatment can be had upon application
to the State veterinarian.

q Great Victory for the Japs.

Toxic, Dec. 1.-The japanese have
Port Arthur all but in their grasp.
The taking of 203 Metres hill is the
most decided step toward final occu-
patton of the Russian stronghold since
the outer lines fortresses were assault
ed by the japanese This eminence,
which is nearest to Port Arthur itself
is the highest point in that direction
and from it's summit the japanese can
sweep every inch of the harbor as well
as every position outsideLiaotishan and
Tiger hill. AS a result it issgenerally
believed that news will shortly be re-
ceived of the final demolition of the
remaining Russian vessels in the har-
boz by heavy calibre guns which the
japanese have mounted on the hill.
Gen. Stoessel must now undoubtedly
retire toward Liaotisban. There are
possibilities, however, thar the Japa-
nese will be able to cut off his retreat
to this point and Gen. Stoessel will
be compelled to surrender.
