MALARIAL FEVER In HORSES
NEARLY ALWAYS FATAL
Practical Treatise by T. Peters. OF University
OF Nebraska.

This disease is also called swamp
fever by farmers, and 'pernicions
anaemia" by veterinarians. In Ne
braska many Of the farmers cali the
disease typhoid fever" for it resem-
bles this fever very much. The man
ner in which the disease is contracted
by horses is not definitely understood.
In the last few years the veterinarians
in the Philippines have discovered a
disease, prevalent in India under the
name Of 'sdrra," the description OF
which corresponds much to that OF
malarial fever of horses in this coun.
try, with the exception that bacteriol.
ogists have not been able TO find the
surra parasite in the blood Of affected
animals in this country.
The disease usually starts with a
fever Of the recurrent type. Follow.

mouth and eyes become very pale. Aft

symptoms for few days one will no

first symptoms the horses do not ap

high as 103 to log degrees. The va

characteristic symptoms. II may re

drop down, only to rise again. IA this
condition OF changing temperature the
horses become too weak to work
They lose flesh very rapidly and are
usually laid of from work. Il may
occur that the animal will improve fol
a week or ten days, only to have an
other attack more severe than the first
one. Horses may have two or thret
attacks, and death finally follows
either from heart failure or from ex
haustion. The ranchmen In Nebraska
have observed that when they feed
their horses al, they want while they

bling that in modification. and gives
the observer a very good index Of the
progress OF the case. Whenever these
spots are found on the mucous mem
brane of the eye, the case almost al
ways proves fatal Another marked
symptom is the increase Of the urine.
Large quantities Of urine are secreted.
This is also a serious symptom.
This disease is not very difiicult
to diagnose, at least, not In the lat
ter stages Of the disease. In the
early stages It may be mistaken for in
fluenza OF pneumonia. but when one
has seen a case in the advanced
stages. then it is not so difficult. How
ever it is well for one who is expert
enced to defer judgment until the
animal has been examined two or
three times on that many days. II
one takes into consideration the good
appetite with continual loss Of flesh,
the pale mucous membranes, and the
peculiar pulse. he can diagnose with
out much trouble.
Prognosis.-The prognosis Of this
disease is very unfavorable. Some
ranchmen and veterinarians claim that
the death rate runs from SO to rs
per cent, while others claim even q
higher percentage. The writer Is OF
the opinion that a very small per
cent of the animals recover. We have
observed that where farmers have
carefully nursed their animals they
appear to recover, only to have an
other attack which seemed to be more
severe, death finally resulting. Tho
writer has never seen a thoroughly
cured animals since he has observed
this disease.
Laboratory experiments and cul-
lures were made from the contents OF
the spleen. blood. kidneys and urine.
These cultures were inoculated into
smaller animals. but without any re-
suits.
The treatment Of this disease has
not been very satisfactory. which is
largely due to the fact that we have
no definite knowledge as to the true

tain. but that If they feed them spar
ingly they may recover, but usually
have another attack. In the early
stages OF the disease the pulse is al
ways very rapid, while in the latter
stages it is very weak. Horses may
linger with this disease for several
months. AS rule, horses live from
two to three weeks. 1t is only occa-
sionally that animals recover. Be
sides the above symptoms. there is d
swelling of the legs. This is a symp-
tom that is not always observed. and
only when in the latter stages Of the
disease. This swelling may also be
noticed under the abdomen. The
swelling indicates very poor circula-
tion, and is a very bad symptom.
There are also found petecchiae little

branes. These are especially found on

HOW DEEP TO FARM.
Conditions Of Soil. Drainage. Etc.
Must Determine the Question.

The depth to which a man plows
rs land has a bearing on the success
OF his farming. 1t is possible to plow
too deep. and it is certainly possible
to How too shallow. to get the best
results. But someone will ask. what
is the best depth for blowing? That
is an unlnswcrable question. because
all kinds Of conditions exist on farms,
and those conditions are what must
set the cepth Of plowing. The depth
to which to plow is a problem that
has been considered. with other ques-
.ioas, and not by itself. by our best
Investigators.
In the Investigations Of the soils OF
southern Illinois, Prof. Hopkins found
sections where the potash had been
very much exhausted In the upper
seven inches of soil, so much so that
the crops could not get enough Of that
element to make the growth they
should make. The advice of Prof.
Hopkins was to plow a little deeper
and thus get the use of the potassium
below the depth of the old plowings.
Now, here was a case where the land
had been farmed for so long a time
that the potassium was exhausted in
the soil usually turned up by the plow
It Is certain that if a new piece of
soil were brought under cultivation
in that region. the conditions would
not be the same. Tnis illustrates the
fact that no rule can be laid down.
How deep to farm must depend to
a considerable extent on the drainage
conditions existing on each field, says
the Farmers Review. If the land is
fiat and wet during a good deal Of
the growing season. no depth of plow-
Ing viii increase its productiyeness.
The roots of plants will not strike
below the water line, and II, during
an unusually dry time, they did go
down. 1t would be to rot when the
water rose permanently around them.
Therefore it is impossible to give a
rule for depth of plowing in such a
case. II is certain that 1t is useless
to attempt to cultivate the land to a
greater depth than 1t has been
drained
The character OF the soil also has
much TO do with the depth of plow-
ing and cultiyating. A clayey soil
will not give as good results If plowed
deep as a sandy soil, for the air will
not readily penetrate the clayey soil
to certain depth, as it will the sandy
soil. nor will the heat of the sun so
quickly warm 1t up to a point where
the seeds will germinate In 1t. Sandy
land can and should be plowed quite
deep, for a number Of reasons. One
Of these is that 1t dries out more
quickly than clayey soil. as clay con-
tains more water than sandy soil.
The sandy loan will therefore facili-
tate the deep growing of roots, as the
roots easily penetrate the interstices
between the particles Of SOIL
There is still doubt that the soil
can be utilized several inches deeper
than is usually the case. Subsoil
plowlng has proved very benencial on
some lands. but not on others, and
here again comes in an illustration
OF the fact that we cannot lay down
any rule that will prove of value on
all lands. The depth of plowing must
depend some on the fertility that can
be applied to the soil and its ability
