INVESTIGATION or RLAcKLEa.

Kansas Veterinarians Make 4 Special
Study Of the Matter Of HIaekIeg In
Cattle. II Il. A.. "A I'D
The prevalence Of blackleg in the
state Of Kansas induced DR.. H.. s..
Mayo, state veterinarian, and his as
sistant, G. L. Barnes, to make the
most careful and searching investiga-
ton as to the cause and prevention
Of the disease. These investigations
have been in progress for three years,
and the conclusion arrived al is that
blackleg is germ disease, which at
tacks young cattle from two or three
weeks to 2 years old. A large number
of cases have been reported in suck
ing calves, in spite of the fact that
many veterinary writer's state that it
does not occur in calves while on a
milk diet. The disease attacks great
many calves between six and eighteen
months Of age, and after two years of
age there is little danger. In cattle
above 3 years old the disease is ex-
tremely rare.
Calves that are in a thrifty condi.
ton, particularly those which are be-
ing fed for baby beef, are most likely
to contract the disease. The average
loss among unvaccinnated calves is
probably between and s per cent,
and vaccination reduces this loss to
less than four-tenths Of one per cent
Young calves should be vaccinated
every four or i've months.
. The first symptom usually noted ia
that the, sick animal usually remains
apart from the herd, usually lying
down and not chewing the cud. II
appears lame and stiff in one leg, and
sometimes the disease affects more
than one leg, the stiffness occasional
ly extending to other parts of the
body. Animals suffering from black
leg are often easily excited in the first
stage and II disturbed will sometimes
fight viciously. Blackleg occurs al
all seasons of the year, but is most
prevalent in May, June, september
and October. .EE''- a....
Most veterinarians assert that thu
disease is from wound infection, bu
DR.. Mayo says that he has never OBJ
served a case where infection nigh

wound. It is possible, however, tina
infection might take place from sore

the young cattle are cutting teeth.
