ANTHRAX EPIDEMIC
IS UNDER CONTROL
University Dairy Farm Author,
tiles Check the Disease.
DISEASE is DANGEROUS ONE
Experts Are Now Seeking for Cause
of the pidemic-Anthrax May
Be Transmitted to Man
Through Wounds.

Madison. n.-University dairy farm au-
thorities have the anthrax epidemic
in complete control
The bacteriology department is en-
gagged at present in analyzing the soli
on which the cows We're pastureu'
All horses, cows, and pigs that were
considered exposed to the disease
have been properly injected with anu
thraX vaccine. The stables nave
been disinfected and the bodies OF
those animals that died have Deen
cremated. A quarantine district has
been established. Until the source OF
infection is discovered, no food Will
pass either to or from the barn.
Anthrax, or charbon, is deflned by
the bureau of animal husbandry OF
the United States department OF ag'
riculture as an infectious disease
caused by specific bacteria, known as
anthrax bacilli. and which is more or
less restricted by conditions OF SOL
and moisture to definite geographical
localities. The progress OF the dis
ease is attended by swelling and in
tense pain While it is chiefly limited
to cattle and sheep, it may be trans
mitted TO goats, horses, cats and Ger
tain kinds of game. The variety OF
domesticated animals it may attack
renders it one of the most dreaded
courges of animal life. 1t may even
attack man.
Like all bacteria, the anthrax becill1
have the power of indefinite multiple
cation and in the body of infected ami
mails they produce death by rapidly
increasing in numbers and producing
substances which poison the body
They also resist heat to a remarkable
degree so that boiling water is neces
sary to destroy them.
The anthrax virus thrives best or
territories subject to floods and
foundations. The particular kind OF
soil on which it is observed is black
loose, warm and humous, and those
containing lime, mari and clay.
The bodies of dead animals infected
with the disease retain the germs foi
years. Flies disseminate the disease
II may be carried in the winds in hot
dry weather, in hides, hair, wool, hoofs
and horns. 1t may also be stored II
fodder from infected fields and cause
an outbreak on animals feeding on il
in winter. One animal may be in
feCted and the rest of the herd well.
Anthrax may be transmitted to MAJ
through slight wounds when handling
carcasscs. The point of inoculatior
appears at first as a dark point OF
patch. After few hours it changes
and soon burns painfully The Ger
man government in its report OF 1885,
cites III cases of which II terminated
fatally. The large number of these
was due to slaughtering and opening
infected animals. Thirty-six Of those
affected were butchers.

When did the United States begin
the practice of forestry? Few per
sons can answer this question cor
rectly. Most people are of the opin
ion that the beginning of forestry in
this country was of very recent or
igin and that the first step in that
direction was taken among the noun
tains of the far west. Neither is cor
rect.
While Washington was serving his
first term as president of the United
states, q recommendation came to him
that the government ought to buy live
oak islands on the coast of Georgia
to make sure of a supply of shir

Louisiana was bought soon after
and in 1917 the Six Islands, Of l9,OO0

Laundry work at home would be
much moro satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces,
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and hncncss Of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste Of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
