CATTLE DYING FAST.

Crowley, Lafayette and the
country between those two
points charbon is getting in its
deadly work with the live stock.
The Crowley Signal of yestcr-
day states that ISo head of cat
tie have already died there from
this disease and the Board OF
Health has advised the people
to purchase meat only at the
market where it is subjected to
an examination before it is al
lowed to be sold. Extra pre-
cautions are also taken there
with the milk diaries which are
carefully watched to prevent
diseased animals being used for
milk purposes.
But up to the present time
this disease has not appeared in
this vicinity, and according to
! those who have had experience
in the cattle line hcrcabouts it
is not to be feared here. In
fact it is stated that the disease
that is taking cattle off at Grow
ley 10 not charbon but the Texas
fever or as some know II "hol-
low horn" disease that is cur
able If taken in time.
According to the Signal $50
head OF stock have died within
small area north of Crowley
and one farmer south of that
little village has lost more than
| 90 head within the last two
weeks. While the losses have
been largely of cattle, mules have
also died, one instance OF the
loss OF s by one man being
mentioned. The stories pub
lished intimate that impure water
is one cause OF the disease for
where given the well water it is
said there have been no deaths.
Mr.. ]. i. Breaux, who has
had considerable experience with
cattle is of the opinion ;hat the
disease is 90, .oiiow Horn" which
Is mas cured in many instances.
According to him it is easy to
tell It this is the case.
When the animal is observed
to be ailing its horns will be
found to be very cold while its
ears are hot. 1t has lost its APP
petite and soon dies unless at
tended 70. His treatment
which he says has been success
tul is to saw off the top of the
horns which arc then found to
be hollow. The cavities are
filled full OF salt over which is
poured a tablespoonful of tur-
pentine. Then the horn is
sealed with clay or soap and in
a few hours the animal has
gained its APPETITE. In three or
tour days the animal has so TAR
recovered that no trace OF its
illness remains.
Mr.. Breaux related several
instances whre the owners OF
cows that were supposed TO have
Charlton were treated in this way
and recovered. In one or two
the animal had so far recovered
that within three hours after the
treatment il was out in the pas
ture eagerly eating.
Even il Mr.. Breaux diagnosis
is not right, it can do no harm
TO try this treatment. Accord
ing to Veterinary surgeons there
is no hope tor an animal with
charbon. lie cannot hurt then
to try the remedy suggested.
1t 1t cures ii is a proof that the
diagnosis was wrong.
So far not case OF this kind
has been reported in this Parish
but a close watch is being kept
or its appearance.
