About forty of the Meade peo-
pie went to Fowler Sunday after
noon to hear DR.. Frederick Cook
and the Imperial Creation Or
chestra, billed to be there that
afternoon. No. 2 was more than
two hours late and the lecture
by DR.. Cook was nearly over be-
fore the Meade party arrived.
For some unknown reason the
Imperial Orchestra forgot TO
appear. The Chautauqua pro-
gram was closed Sunday night.
A lecture by Marshall Louis
Mertins was the program for
the evening. This is Fowler's
first year to have a Chautauqua
and the bad weather, the horse
epidemic, and the date of the
Chautauqua coming so close to
the Meade County Fair all had
their effect upon the attendance
at the Chautauqua. However
the Fowler people are to be COM
mended upon their progressive
spirit in ngetting the Chsutauaua
and perhaps next year condi-
tons will be more favorable.
The Meade party returned on
No. 80 which was more than an
hour late.

The Meade Band filled a two
days engagement at Ashland
Friday and Saturday last week,
the event being the annual old
settlers picnic. The boys first
planned to go in autos, but the
rainy weather soon put that idea
out of the question. On the
early morning train Friday the
boys started to Minneola where
they we're met and taken to Ash.
land. The boys say that they
were royalty treated by the
Ashland people during their
stay, and the only critism that
they could possibly register was
that when time to come home
all the automobile owners seem
ed to have had bad luck with
their cars, and the boys were
taken to Minneola, a distance of
thirty two miles and requiring
eight hours time, in lum ber
wagons. In spite of this fact
the boys seem to have had an en-
joyable outing.

J. l. Stamper, President

At the meeting of the Kansas
State Auctioneers Association,
held in Hutchinson on Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week,
James l. Stamper of Meade was
elected president. This is quite
an honor and rightly bestowed.
AT the meeting Tuesday eve-
ing Congressman Geo. A Neeley
delivered an address on behalf
of Hutchinson to which Mr..
Stamper made fitting response
Mr.. Stamper is one of our
most enterprislng citizens and
his receiving this honor is not
to be wondered at. In fact, we
rather expected when he depart
ed for the convention that he
would do something to make
Meade proud of him, and, he
surely has.

At conference in the Cover
nor's Office of the leading veteri
narlans that have been investi-
eating the disease affecting
horses in the western part of
Kansas, it was the consensus of
opinion that but few horses that
have been kept out of pasture
and on dry feed have been affect
ed; that the outbreak was pri-
marlly brought on by climatic
conditions; and that it was not,
in the true sense of the term
considered to be contagious. AS
a result of this conference, a
committee consisting of Drs. o..
o. Wolf, Ottawa, B. A. Robin
son, Independence, A. II. Kin
sley, Kansas City, Mo-. F. S.
Schoenleber. Manhattan, B. R.
Rogers, Manhattan, J. S. Buck
ley, Washington, D. c., K. w.
Stouder, Topeka, and ]. H. Mer-
GER, Live Stock Commissioner,
was appointed by the Governor
to formulate recommendations
that will benefit those interested.
The recommendations, which
do not differ much from the pre-
vious official recommendations
for prevention of this disease,
are as follows:
l. That all horses and mules
be taken off pasture until freez-
ing weather.
2. Feed these animals on
green corn fodder, cane or Kaffir
bran, oil meal, or, in fact, any
food that has laxative,action.
8. Feed cautiously hay cut
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1912-09-19
Curative Measures

These are practically useless,
as most of the infected horses
die. The following has given
the best results:
l. Keep the animal in shady
place.
2. Place on top of the head
cold packs, either ice or water.
3. Do not drench affected an
imals, as the throat may be par
alyzed and they can not swallow;
drenching will therefore result
in lung fever.
All the above measures should
be thoroughly carried out, as
half-hearted measures are USE
less.

W. G. Hanley of Kansas City
has written the secretary of the
Meade Commercial Club re-
garding the advisa bility of locat-
ing a creamery here. AS we
understand his proposition, the
creamery would be operated on
a cooperative basis, and in such
an event it would be necessary
for the farmers to guarantee to
bring their cream to Meade in
order to maintain such an INDUS
try. More infor nation will be
given later.

EPIDEMIC SHONS1 BUT SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT AS YET
Loss Now Near Two Million Dollar Mark
No Cure Has as Yet Been Discovered

such feed has to be brought
from a distance. Horses that
have become affected while at
pasture should be removed from
the field in which they have been
running. The animals should
be brought to the barn or COR
raj and fed on wholesome and
clean feed and forage. The
water, unless from al unpollut-
ed source, should likewise be
changed.
AT present this preventative
treatment is the only satisfact-
ory method known for checking
the disease, as all medicinal
remedies used have been unsat-
isfactory in the vast majority of
cases. The first indication is to
empty the bowels and remove
the poisonous products, but on
account of the difficulty in
swallowing, an aloes ball or
Glauber's salt is hard to give.
In fact no remedy should be
given by the mouth if the throat
is paralyzed, as pneumonia is
liable to result. Fifteen grains
of barium chlorid injected into
the jugular vein, or 2 grains of
eserin under the skin, if the an
imal is not too greatly depress-
ed, will usually act promptly.
Intestinal disinfectants such as
calomel, salicylic acid, and creo-
lin are also used. If much weak
ness is shown and the tempera-
ture is below normal give arom-
attic spirits of am monia, digitalis,
alcohol; ether, or camphor. Rec
tai injections of warm water are
good, and warm blankets wruug
out of hot water may also be ap-
piled to the body. Subsequent
treatment should consist of q
grain doses of strichnine twice
daily, or mixture of 2 drains
tincture nux vomica and one-half
ounce of Fowler's solution given
at one dose, and repeated three
times daily, to combat the effect
of the poison upon the nervous
system.

Notice to Horse Owners.

The law requires that car
casses of dead animals be prompt
ly burned or properly buried.
At the present time, in order to
avoid contagion, it is of more
than usual Importance that this
law be rigidly observed.
Any owner of horses, or other
animals, neglecting to promptly
burn or bury the carcass will be
prosecuted. THIS MEANS
YOU.

CAUSE OF DISEASE

OhA IL hliS AboS Nv AHNA'hA
numerous reports have been re-
ceived by the Bureau of Animal
Industry relative to the exist
ence of forage poisoning in var
ious sections of the United
States, particularly IN Louisiana,
West Virginia, Kansas and
Nebraska. 1t has usually oc-
Cured when a hot, dry period
has been followed by rains, or
during wet seasons, especially
those which are characterized by
frequent rains alternating with
hot sunshine, producing damp
sultrY atmosphere. Such condi-
tons are most favorable to the
production of molds, and all out
breaks that have been investigat-
ed by the Bureau have been trac-
ed to the ingestlon of unsound
or moldy forage or feed, or to
the drinking of water from wells
or pools containing surface wat
er drained through decomposed
and moldy vegetation. The dis
ease has been shown to be due
to eating damaged ensilage, hay,
corn, brewers grains, oats, etc.
Horses and mules at pasture
may contract the disease when
the growth of grass is so pro-
fuse that it mats together and
the lower part dies and ferments
or becomes m oldy. No specific
organism or virus has yet been
found which can be considered
as the cause of this disease.
HOW TO RECOGNIZE DISEASE
YThe so-called cerebro-spinal
meningitis of horses being an
entirely different disease from
that which occurs in man, the
symptoms as well as the cause
are distinctly different. In the
most rapidly fatal attacks death
takes place in from 5 to 48 hours.
Such cases begin with violent
trembling or stupor and extreme
weakness, or with staggering
gait, partial or total inability to
swallow, impairment of eyesight
followed by partial or com plete
paralysis, inability to stand,
with marked delirium, during
which the animal lying fiat on it's
side becomes violent and knocks
and bruises it's head. In the
second form of the disease
the same line of symptoms may
be noticed IN milder degree.
Difficulty in swallowing, slow
ness IN chewing the food and in
ability to switch the tail are OBJ
served. Breathing becomes
heavy and noisy, and delirium
may develop with stiffness of the
spinal muscles or partial cramp
of the neck and jaws. Death
occurs in from 6 to 10 days. In
the last or mildest form the lack
of voluntary control of the lin bs
become but slightly marked, the
power of swallowing never en-
tirely lost, and the animal has
no fever, pain, or unconscious
movements. In those cases
which get well the animal gener-
allV oeglnS TO improve about the
fourth day and goes on to recov-
cry. One attack does not pro-
tect against a second attack, as
horses and mules have been
known to have the disease two
or three times.
HOW DISEASE MAY BE PREVENTED
AND TREATED
The first principle in the
treatment of this disease con-
sAsts in a total change of feed
aud forage. Horses kept in the
sta BILE should be fed with sound
forage and grain from an un-
