had appeared in Maryland. 1t ID said II IS
the first time in the past Is years that this dis
ease, which is much dreaded by farmers, has
been discovered here. For many years the
United States authorities have been expend-
ing large sums of money in trying to stamp
out this contagion, and anumber Of the States
have for many years issued quarantine regnia'
tons against the importation Of cattle from
within the zone where it is said this fever has
its origin. The disease is said to be located
in Hartford and Carroll counties, and that the
cattle SO affected we're purchased 10 days ago
in Missouri, and when they arrived here they
were accompanied by a clean bill of health
after an inspection had been made of the ami
mails in the State in which they were pur-
chased. 'fTick fever Is communicated TO
the animal by tick which adheres to them,
being in appearance not unlike the large tick
which sometimes fastens upon hunting dogs.
The animal, when attacked, becomes drowsy,
and in many instances death results IN few
hours.
