FIGHTING CATTLE DISEASES
By Frederic J. 1askin.

cent. of the cases, but it permanently tnjures many infected animals. There is sloughing oR from various parts of the body, from the effects of which recovery Is very slow. The milk ca pacity of dairy herds is seldom regain ed The meat of infected animals is not good, and to drink their unbotled milk Is dangerous. Probably the great est damage. however. Is to business The live stock trade of Buffalo. which has been seriously interfeTed with, ls said to amount to sIo0.ooo.ooo annual ly.
 Such things cost money, but it has been found by experience that the cheapest way to meet the emergency is to stamp out the disease at what ever the initial cost may be-. rather than to run the risk of the. infection becoming widespread. Luckily the De- pertinent of Agriculture had lump appropriation of nearly $1,Oo0. 600 that could be used to light the disease. Con- gress Is being asked to replace several hundred thousand dollars of this by q deficiency appropriation. Besides the cost of Inspection, disiufeetion, travel ing expenses. salaries. etc, connected with the governments 6ght. the nA- tional government must pay two thirds of the value of infected animals that are slaughtered. The States con cerned pay tho remaining third. The farmer does not lose anything by placing bfnself under government pro- tcction. On the other hand, if through ignorance or intent. he conceals the presence of the disease on his place, his own stock will not only suffer, but .he will ibe responsible for losses. lsns- tained later by hiR neighbor. his State and his county. 21 s
 The United States has had sevefAi costly experiences with the foot and mouth disease In the past. In 1902 the disease was discovered in Massa- chusetts. from which it quickly spreqd to New Hampshiye. Vermont and Rhode Island. It took eight months to stamp it out, during which about 5000 head of stock worth s2d0.oeo were destroy ed, probably half, a million dollars fin all was spent. and millions of dollars lost in domestic and foreign trade The 1902 epidemic began in 1884 near Port land. Maine. among somc imported cat tie. but its spread to other. stock was prevented. Four years. before that there were fey Imported cases. but they were mild in character and no great dificulty was experienced in handlingsthem.2 Probably the most ax- tensive outbreak occurred in 1870, when the disease was introduced from Canada and spread through New Eng land and New York. before its prog. 'ress was checked.
