With all the difficulties and misfor-
tunes our farmers have been obliged to
face from crop failures and ur favorable
weather, they now confront an alarming
condition that puts every prosperous far
mer to shaking in his boots. 1t is ter
rible disease among horses that the vet
erinarians are unable to understand. Mr..
George Webb an extensive stock breeder,
is suffering more loss than anybody in
this section from the disease among his
horses. The disease attacks the throat
and breathing organs, and much swell
ing and Inflammation occurs; in some
instances when the animal is in the last
stages of the malady and the suffocation
is the greatest the throat is cut open
and tube inserted which in many cases
affords great relief Mr.. Webbs entire
lot of horses have been attacked with
this disorder, it even affecting the suck
ling colts. 1t is understood that the
disease is spreading to the stock of the
neighbors. The condition is perpleX-
ing one for Mr.. Webb, as it is a question
how he is going to manage getting his
wheat cut and harvested, for while the
neighbors are anxious and willing to
help him in his dilemma, they are fear
full lest their horses contract this terrible
disease. At this writing we are informed
that there is some improvement in the
condition of Mr.. Webb's horses, who are
under the treatment of DR.. Macklin, of
Milford.
