NATURE OF THE "FooT AND MOUTH" DISEASE
Agree symptoms, Eut DON'T Know
Cause of the EoizooEic.
Veterinarians

Il Pfiladelphia.-Dr. Leonard Pear
son, State Veterinarian, and other
veterinarians here are agreed upon
the main characteristics of the NAL
.ady known as "foot and mouth dis
ease4", In Europe it is also called
murrain, and the principal scientific
names for it are eczema, epizootica
and apthous fever. 1t is highly in
fictitious, and it's identity is deter
mined by the eruption Of vesicles or
blisters. in the mouth, around the
.coroHet or top of the foot or hoof, in
the cleft between it's parts, and (of
the COW or she gCat) on the udder.
1t is most common in cattle and
swine. The human species is also
susceptible to it, but rarely to a SER
ious degree.
The specific cause of apthous fever
has not been clearly demonstrated.
The virus is contained in the erup-
tions. Authorities say that the cause
isypTespmably germ. If that is the
case, the germ is so small that it will
pass through Berkefeld water filter.
The infection may be indirect,
through the, stables, the straw, hay
or other objects with which diseased
animals have come in contact. The
virus may be carried by an animal
several months after it has had the
disease and has recovered from it.
The period between the moment of
infection and that when the eruption
appears is from twenty-four to sew
enty-two hours The symptoms vary
greatly in different epizootics, being
sometimes mild and at other times
severe. The first evidence of its pres
ence is rise of temperature, which
in cattle rarely goes beyond 104 de-
grees Fahrenheit. The mucous mem
brane of the mouth becomes red
dened, the appetite is diminished aud
the rumination or chewing of the
cud ceases.

NAMES LOG HARVEST is ON.
10000 Men I'm Camp Along tine Penob-
scot---MarF<ing of Logs.

Bangor, Me- Names annual log
harvest is now in progress, and an
army of $4,000 or 10000 men are
engaged in telling spruce, pine, hem
lock and cedar for the supply of the
saw mills and the pulp mills in 1909.
In the olden time the lumbermen
used to wait for the snow to cover
the ground before attempting to haul
any logs, but now the crews are. sent
in months, before snow falls, and mill
ions of feet of logs are yarded on bare
ground. About the middle of Janu-
airy yarding is supposed to be finished
and hauling begin.
On the Penobscot alone this winter
about .6000enen and 1900 horses are
employed. Years ago there was al
ways a good supply Of regular woods
men,. but latteyly the natives have
been seeking other employment. The
young menfof this day do not care to
go into logging camps, with all sorts
of associates, to eat beans. and swing
axes all winter for SIS to $40 a
month. Therefore great difficulty is
often experienced in getting crews.
2 = A woods crew is composed of sew
eral classes of workers. There are
choppers, who fell trees; swampers,
who make the roads, clear away the
small growth and trim the fallen
trees; teamsters, who drive the log.
sleds; sled tenders, who load the
sleds; markers, who cut with axes va
rious distinctive symbols upon the
logs; cooks who are the chefs of the
camps, and cookies, who do the soul
lery work and wait upon the men.
The wages vary from SIS to $50 a
month with board, and the season is
usually from FOUR to five months.
r" The camps are scattered over a.vast
Nstratch of territory, extending for. 200
miles or more along the Penobscot
and it's branches, away back to the
Quebec boundary line. Woods work
is laborious and monotonous, begin
ming with daylight and lasting until
dark, with three balts. for hearty
meals, consisting for the most part of
baked beans, although in some camps
nowadays a considerable variety Of
food is provided.
The Lee County journal. (Leesburg, Ga.) 1904-19??, 1908-11-27

II The days work concludes with a
big supper, for which the men have
ravenous appetites, and then follows
a smoke talk, when some of the men
play cards, some sing rollicking songs
of the woods and the drive, others
discuss the latest prize fight and a
few mend their torn clothing. The
majority are so tired that they roll
into their hunks as soon as supper is
over and drop to sleep when they
have smoked their pipes out.
It is. at the landings that the most
interesting operation Of logging is
performed-the marking of the logs.
with various symbols to denote own
ership, just as in the case CT cattle%!
The marks must be indelible or
they would be worn off by the bump
ing and grinding Of the logs against
the rocks and shoals on the long drive
to the booms, and in all the ninety
years of numbering on the Penobscot
no one has ever been able to devise a
better method of marking than, with
a sharp axe in the hands of a. skilled
woodsman.
The marker is deft and rather ar
tistic, and makes very few slips. or err
rors. There is head marker and
several assistants, and they stand
upon the great log piles, swinging
their axes with confidence and precis-
ion, as proud Of their skill as any
chiseler Of marble.
The marks cut upon the logs are of
wonderful variety. There can be no
two alike and each must be distinctly
cut, else there would be confusion at
the sorting booms and loud COM
plant. if not lawsuits, among the
owners.
To the common eye log marks
mean no more than the hieroglyphics
on the Central Park obelisk, but to
the markers they are as plain as A,
3, G. There are crosses. girdles,
stars, daggers, crowfeet, fishes, va
rious letters and combinations of let
,ters, links, notches-a long and COM
plicated list, and for every new log
owner a new aud distinctive mark
must be invented.
