We learn OF many deaths among the
animals recently brought into this
county, and in most cases the indlca-
tons and symptoms point strongly 10
the disease known rs "glanders."
Messrs. G. ]. Webb, of Scoobs, Tom
Boyd, of Evansville, Bob McCreight, OF
Wahalak, and ID. C. Harbour, of Spinks,
have each lost one during the past few
weeks, and Capt. Winston is reported
to have lost seven.
In Mr.. Webb's case, that gentleman
wrote TO DIR. q. d. Brock, veterinary
surgeon at Meridian, and gave him a
detailed statement of the animals sick-
ness. We quote from his reply:
Every likely your mule had CHAMBERS.
Quarantine against the stall where he
was kept-would be better to destroy
it; also the watering place. White
wash thoroughly with lime. Use all
p%recaution possible"
We call attention particularly to this
matter, as the damage would be enor,
nous were this disease to spread among
the horses anG mules in our county, snG
we would advise that In case OF sicknts s!
among the stock, the animals affected
be separated from their companion.
and closely watched until it is known
positively what their ailment is.
