About 80 per cent of the total

condition. Besides $5, 100000 Of

Cost Pennsylvania $4,000 II
Flght Foot and Mouth Disease.

It will cost Pennsylvania in.
the neighborhood of $4,000 to
stamp out the, foot and mouth
disease among the cattle, which
was brought into the State by an
infected cow from the Buffalo cattle
pens, and which spread with light
ming like rapidity through about
la counties. The State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, under DR.. Leonard
Pearson, put forth the most stren9|
uous efforts to subdue the disease,
and the result is that today finds
it almost eradicated.
The 200 people engaged in the
work of stamping out the disease
made reports from $4,000 farms
and found infected cattle on 1O1
farms. They killed 1915 cattle
and 1923 swine, costing the State
$685. This cost, however, does
not include the damage to premises
which the State will have to pay.
Fodder, hay, produce and straw
we're destroyed, and in many in
stances stable fittings had to be
torn out, and there was much dis
injecting to be done, all of which
the State pays for.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Co.
also spent $4,000 disinfecting
stock cars, and at the Lancaster
stock Yards the cost was $4,000.

Brigade Of the Maryland National
Guard, and Major Alexius McGlan-

sites offered would be satisfactory
for camping purposes.
The officers were taken to the
sites by Frank P. Price, chairman
of the committee of residents trying
to have the next camp at Elkton,
and other members of the COM
