Another Cure for Black Leg

| have just read with interest
Mr.. Webb's account of Capt. Cen
ter's cure for blackleg Capt. Cen
ter is all that Mr. Webb writes,
and no one who knows him doubts
his statement. The difficulty is
that he reaches an erroneous con-
clusion upon the evidence Of the
coincidence. 1t is too late IN the
day to question the brilliant work
of Koch and Pasteur in demonstra-
ting that bacillus anthracis pro-
duced the deadly anthrax; or the
equally brilliant work of Arloing,
Cornevin and Thoma, who, as far
back as 1879, demonstrated that
anthrax fever and symptomatic
anthrax, or, MS Prof Law calls it,
"vibronic anthrax" (blackleg),
are different diseases, and, com.
municated, caused by a different
but equally distinct bacillus,
Blackleg is certainly a highly
infectious disease of the blood,
conveyed by incubation, which
introduces the bacillus INTO the
circulation, and yet it has moth

Market Letter.

Special To The Press.
Kansas City, Mo-, Thursday,
March II, 1904. Quarantine re-
ceipts in Kansas City this week
have been liberal, about twice as
many as same day last week.
1900 cattle were offered Monday,
mostly good to choice steers, and
the market was as good as at any
time recently. Quality Tuesday
was not very good, supply includ-
ing big shipment of Southeast
ern Texas steers, light weights,
which sold however, at SD 20 and
$3.35 30 cars were on sale yes
terday, mostly steers, and prices
were 10 cents lower all around.
Run is light today, prices un-
changed. Steers have sold as
high us S4.35, with big majority
of sales at SO. So to 81. 10. Cows
and bull have been scarce, and
prices steady on bulls, strong on
COWS, Cows have brought from
~. 40 to So 90, with few head at
$3. % and $3.5O Bulls sold from
$2.S5 to $500. Split shipments
between this point and other
markets have resulted favorable
to Kansas City for past two
weeks.
Hog prices continue to be dis
appointing, and packers keep up
u semblance of Indifference,
Prices picked up a little Monday
and Tuesday, but the gain has all
been lost and more. Top price
today is $50, bulk of all sales at
50 to 500. Light weight hogs
are 20 cents nearer top this week
than last, but heavy hogs still
bring best prices.
Sheep and lambs have been in
moderate supply recently, there
being a scarcity of muttons.
Lambs are no lower for the best
grades, but medium to common
kinds are 10 to 10 cents lower
than week ago, the kinds that
bring So to 5.25. Wethers and
ewes are steady, and bring $4.GC
and 4.3O, respectively, for best
stock. Yearlings have been
plenty. and sell from 81 60 to So,
Demand is ample, especially fol
good kinds.

STOCK NEWS y
STOCK MEN=FARMERS.
Men VINO Once Raised Cattle Only
Are Turning Their Attention to
Agriculture In the West.

Reports from the San Angelo
country are to the effect that the
grass on the range is coming up
and the pastures are covered with
the verdant mantle. The stock
men feel that the icy grasp of win
ter has relaxed and that their for
tunes are in fair way to mend
ing. Prospects throughout the
Concho country were never better
and the tide of emigration is ex-
pected to be larger than ever.
More and more recruits are being
added to the ranks of the stock
men-farmers and 1t is interesting
to note the number of stockmen
who are this year for the first
time in their lives cultivating the
soil and virgin soil at that-land
which has never heretofore felt
the touch of plow or harrow.
A surprising increase has been
made this year in the number of
acres in cotton. The exact i'll
crease is hard to estimate for the
numbers of acres in cotton grows
day by day, for almost daily one
hears of more acres 1eing devoted
to that crop by some fresh adher-
ent to that policy.
Whether the price of cotton
will fall materially from last sea-
sons prices remains to be seen
The stockmen maintain, however
that even at Sc u pound there il
more money in raising cotton OF
their land than in raising hoof'
and horns This is the argument
of the freshly converted farmer
but there are still large class o
soothing stockmen who are stick
ing to the COW business and whc
are intensely confident of TIN
coming of good times again.

'Twould Spoil This Story to Tell it in
the Headlines.

To use an eighteenth century
phrase, this is an "o'er true tale. "
Having happened in n small Nir'
ginia town IN the winter of 1902,
it is u story very much of the
present. Up to short time ago
Mrs, John f, Harmon, Of Melfa
Station, Va, had no personal
knowledge of the rare curative
properties of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Last January"
she says, "my baby took II dread
full cold and at one time ] feared
she would have pneumonia, but
one of my neighbors told me how
this remedy had cured her little
boy and | began giving it to my
baby at once and it soon cured
her. | heartily thank the manu-
facturers of Cnamberlain's Cough
Remedy for placing SO great cure
within my reach. ! cannot re-
commend it too highly or say too
much in its favor. | hope all
who read this will try it and be
convinced as | was" For sale by

ing in common with what is gem
orally called blood poisoning. Any
one who uses Capt. Center's rem
edy with the expectation of pre-
venting blackleg will, feel quite
sure, be disappointed; neverthe-
less, his idea ls n very good one, in
that he will very largely at least,
rid himself of the heel fly, and
thus save many an old COW from
an untimely grave in a boggy
tank.
The fly does not seem to be cap
able of Il very long-sustained
flight, so that if you kill off your
flies you will not likely be much
troubled 10y the fact that your
neighbor may neglect to do the
same. The only difficulty which !
can see in the way is the question
as to whether or not some other
animal acts as host to the larvae.
/ have often found larvae re-
sembling those of the heel fly in
the backs of jack rabbits, but
whether they are the same ] do
not know, never having studied
them.
About fifteen years ago | sue
ceeded in demonstrating the fact
that the grubs, or wolves, found
in the backs Of cattle were the
larvae of the heel fly, being the
first person, so far as | am aware,
who succeeded III producing the
perfect fly from the larvae. About
the same time Prof. Curtice of the
Bureau of Animal Industry also
succeeded in doing so, and going
farther, worked out completely
its very interesting life history.
Mr.. Webb is mistaken in saying
that the fly lays its eggs IN the
COW brute" the fact being, as
shown by Prof. Curtice, that 1T
deposits its eggs on the hair, gem
orally about the heel, hence the
name, just as does what we call
the bot fly in the case of horses
The poor, silly COW, following an
impulse, doubtless implanted in
her to provide for the preserva-
tion of the species, licks off the
egg, which, lodging in the throat,
passes into the larval state, and,
working its way through the It's
sues, reaches maturity under the
outer skin along the spine; and
Just here comes in another very
interesting question, namely, why
do the larve almost invariably
appear along the spine? Is it be-
cause they are there less liable tc
injury!
1t is very possible that in some
cases the MARBLE, or grub. may
indirectly cause blackleg by fur
nishing an opening through which
the bacillus may enter the circu
lation, thus fatally injecting thu
: animal, but it is certain that i
can only do so in this indlrec
. manner.-Geo. Wolf Holstein, il
