value for purposes of comparison. In
that 1t gives the condition of tho
State banks for each call during the

CASE OF CHAMBERS
F0UND|N HENR|C0
Mule Is Shot, and Horse Owners
Warned to Watch
Animals.

Chambers, one of the most deadly and
contagious diseases to which the equine
race is heir, has made its appearance
in Henrico county. A mule has been
shot, and all owners of horses are urged
to be on the watch for the disease and
to keep their animals away from pos
sible infection.
State Veterinarian j. G. FerneyhouEh.
who was in Richmond last night. said
that the presence of the malady was
unmistakable, but declined TO give
names. He found the mule infected and
ordered It's death. Other animals We're
found to have been exposed, and these
wre placed in charge of a veterinary
surgeon. They were rot quarantined.
as this was regarded as unnecessary.
The trouble is not propagated except
by animals in which the disease has
developed.
Tracing Infection.
In his investigation of the cause or
this case DR. Eerneyhough became con-
WINGED that it was brought into this
city. He learned that a mule belong
ing to another party had recently died
with an affection resembling CHAMBERS.
Upon inquiry he found that this ami
NAL had been employed in hauling dead
horses and cows out of Richmond. It
is supposed that an infected horse was
brought into one of the smaller and
less sanitary stables. suffering with the
disease, and died, being hauled away
by the mule which was first affected.
This animal then gave the infection to
the other of his kind through water
ing trough.
All owners are urged to carefully
watch their horses and to report cases
a once TO veterinarians
Other Cases.
Two other such cases have been dis
covered in Prince George county, the
animals having, OF course. been killed,
since the malady is incurable. This in
lection was brought in from the West.
An interesting case of mycotic ster-
mathis has been discovered by Dr. Fer
neyhough in Southwest Virginia. This
sounds more terrible than 1t really is,
since the trouble is easily durable with
proper treatment. He Is convinced that
1t comes from the seeds of certain
grasses in this season of the year. The
infection is supposed to be in vege-
table fungus. 1t Is similar to what
used to be known as dew poison While
it is usually cured by dry feed and
by sanitary washes, the owner loses
