-Foot-and-mouth disease is not con-
fined to cattle alone, but affects all ami
mails that have a cloven hoof, such as
cows, hogs and sheep. Where the dis
ease is epidemic, however, dogs, cats
and pigeons are either condemned to
death or put under quarantine to keep
them from carrying the disease germs,
and thus spreading the plague. At
Lewisburg one poultry dealer who had
bought up a car load of turkeys for the
eastern markets was prohibited from
shipping them for fear of conveying the
disease to the cities. So far as known
human beings are not affected by this
disease.

build a branch from Port Jervis Il

the old d. and II. canal, which parallel
