WYOMING SHEEP
HAVE new DISEASE

The Department OF Agriculture has
taken action toward stamping out a dis
case discovered among the sheen Of Wv
oming and known as the lip and leg dis
ease which is practically new in this
country.
a few isolated cases are recorded, but
they give no basis for explaining the
sudden outbreak Of the strange attack
among sheep in the State Of Wyom-
ing.
BY Secretary Wilson's orders eight
counties OF that State have been placed
under stringent quarantine. which er-
fectively shuts of trade in cattle from
tho infected counties. The disease has
now been raging in that section about
six months.
The complaint is known among sclen-
lists as necrobaclllosis. but with the
advent Of the ailment IN Wyoming Il
was nicfnamed lip and leg disease, be-
cause OK the parts OF the animal az
tected. lt has no relation with the hoof
ana mouth disease which ragged IN Mary
land during the past year. II IS Thought
'he process OF stamping out the disease
will be comparatively easy since infec-
ton Is only through skin wounds.
\ Ohicials IN the Bureau Of Animal In
dustry say they are az a loss 10 kpou,
how the disease became so widespread 4
In wyoming. So far as Is known 4,
was not brought here from anv other
country. IL Is probable that single
animal came into contact with other cat.
Tic in transportation, and that the 9TH
ers became infected I'm the cars where
slight scratches OF the skin are almos,
unavoidable
j CAN'T BE SHIPPED.
According TO the rules Of the ouaran.
tine issued by Secretary Wilson no,
only cattle with the disease. but thos.
Eeyposed TO contagion, may not be ,,o,,.
ed hy any transportation COMPANY.
IL Is possible, however, TO ,novs
healthy sheep that have not been ex.
posed by a certificate from the Gov.
ernment inspectors. sheep so shippes
are under constant supervision and ar,
detained by inspectors at the slightest
b sympiom OF the disease among anv ot
their number
The counties under the ban lie IN IN,
section where most OF the Wyoming
sheep are raised. Il Is expected that tn,
quarantine viii seriously interfere with
Eastern shipments. and the general mar
ket prices may be affected unless III,
ban is lifted within few months.

TO arrive at such q conclusion and
concede the truth OF the governors esti-
mate. We are compelled TO assume that

sent the sentiment OF the party, they are
Tor the most part sham
