EXPERTS ARE BAFFLED
BY THE HORSE SOURCE
Hold Conference and Long Discussion
But Fail to Come to Definite
Conclusion.

After dozen or more expert veter-
inarians had talked for three hours at
a conference the other day, it was ad-
mitted that the cause Of the disease
among horses is still a mystery and
that any treatment that may be given
or any recommendation that may be
made is largely an experiment.
The Palsade worm was blamed by
many of the veterinarians, but Wheth-
er it is the worm. itself or some para
site the worm carries, has not been
made clear. 1t has not even been
proven that the worm has anything to
do with the disease, But it has been
found in great numbers in every au-
topsy made. There were Yeterlnar-
ians, however, who declared that the
worm had frequently been found in
horses that had died of known dis
eases. The only thing pointing strong
ly to the Falisade worm as the active
agent is it's great numbers in the pres
ent cases.
The cnly recommendation that
could be worked out after the confer
ence is that. it is the part of wisdom
for the farmer to take his horses off
of pasture and place them in dry lots,
feed them pure feed and we'll water.
1t was admitted that some horses
might die even after all this even for
a month, but it was the general belief
Of the veterinarians that not so many
would die in dry lots, on the pure
feed and pure water, as would die in
pastures. last why they do not pre-
tend to know.
The conference was attended large
ly by the men who have been out in
the state trying to cope with the
mysterious disease tina has been kill
ing the horses Governor Stubbs call
ed them in for the purpose of getting
some definite information from the
collective ideas expressed. After the
afternoon had been taken up in a
thorough discussion of the disease, a
committee was named by the COVER
nor to formulate a report covering the
known facts about the disease and the
best recommendation that could be
made to the owners Of horses.

KANSAS TOPICS
BURN THE DEAD HORSES.
DR.. Crumbine Thinks This Important
In Infected Districts.

Topeka, Kans-Dr J. S. Crumbine,
secretary. Of the state board of heath,
believes it is eXteremly important
that the bodies of all horses dying of
the mysterious disease in western
Kansas be burned or buried at once.
He believes the disease is infectious
and that coyotes and birds may trans
nit to animals that might not other
wise have it.
Doctor Crumbine sent out a letter
to all county health officers calling
their attention to the Importance of
this matter. He expresses the opin-
ion that the disease is closely allied
to meningitis.
an many communities, he writes
the county health officers, these ami
mails are allowed to remain where
they die, or are hauled out onto COM
mons or pastures to be disposed of
by coyotes or vultures. Indeed the
practice of throwing dead animals
the city dumps or pastures without
poper disposal is only too prevaelnt
throughout the entire state"
The statutes make such action
misdemenaor. Continuing Doctor
Crumbine says:
81 wish you would be so good as to
give public notice in all your country
papers requiring the immediate de-
struction, either by burning or burial
of all dead animals. This is partic-
ularly important in the case of the
epidmeic now prevalent among
horses, as it is very likely due to
some infections agent which might
be easily carried by dogs or birds,
and thus the lives of other animals
he endangered"

THE PosT-MoRTEM EXAMINATION
HELD AT DODGE CITY PROVES
TO BE FRUITLESS.
Tell Farmers, They Know of No Rem

Dodge City, Kan,-Ten expert gov
eminent veterinarians have begun an
Investigation of the disease that is
killing horses in western Kansas, Ok
lahoma, Nebraska and Colorado.
When they had finished the first days
work they had established only two
facts:
That the disease, instead of dimin-
ishing, is still spreading, and that the
mystery of the cause of the disease is
as great as ever. Nothing was discoV'
cred as yet that would throw any
light upon the character of the NAL
adv. 1t is a disease wholly unlike any
other ever observed by any of the eX-
perts
A post-mortem of a horse killed
by the plague was held on the farm
of Amos Miller, nine miles southwest
of Dodge City. Ten government eX-
perts under II. Busman of Denver par
ticipated. While the deliberation was
in progress Dr.. Herbert f. Palmer Of
Philadelphia, representative of the
largest serum manufacturers in the
world, said:
Gathered around that horse are
ten of the best experts in the govern

The government men who are here
have instructions to stay on the
ground until they have learned the
cause of the disease. Once its cause
is learned, it is believed the cure will
be easy to suggest. Aiding the gov
eminent and working with them in
the investigation are S. Sheldon,
state veterinarian of Missouri, and a
half dozen veterinarians of Kansas.

mers who asked their help that they

State Reformatory Making a Record

In his biennial report to the state
penal board NJ. F. Amrine, superin-
tendent of the Hutchinson reforma-
tory. shows that in two years the in
stitution has completed $21 900 worth
of permanent improvements without
one dollar of additional appropriations
from the legislature. And this winter
the request Of the Hutchinson insti,
tuition will be for a smaller appropria-
ton than was asked for of the 1911
legislature. Since making his 1910 re-
port. Amrine has established at the
school a complete BertillOn or finger
print system and every inmate of the
reformatory is properly listed and re-
corded in the BertillOn record. Pop
ulation at the school is growing stead
lily and in the last "a months an even
500 new men were received at the re-
formatory The Mexican population
at the school is increasing rapidly,
Amrine reports, and averages about
rs per cent white, with 20 per cent
colored and MeXicans. Health among
the inmates is universally, good, Ann
rine reports, and among the nearly
400 inmates there have been com
paratively few deaths and little sick
ness, Discussing the 1918 appropria-
ton for the reformatroy, Amrine in
Inmates that the schools request next
year will be even smaller than in 1911
and that the institution is more near
ly on a self-sustaining basis than at
any time in the past. Then he re-
views the special permanent improve
ments, which were installed without

lature.

knew nothing of the disease and no
remedy for it.
While the postmortem was proceed
ing farmers came from all directions
to watch it. From these some extent
of the ravages of the disease was
learned. Not one of them had es-
capped loss and new cases were devel-
oping each day. One man told of
starting to town with load of wheat
drawn by two horses, Half way to
town one horse sat down on his
launches and in ten minutes had fall
len over. He took the horse from the
harness and borrowed healthy
horse from neighbor and went on,
but before he reached town his other
horse was stricken too.
This is the saddest outbreak ever
saw" Dr. Herbert F. Palmer said. I'm
this county alone six hundred horses
have died, just as the fall blowing for
wheat is about to begin. Work is at
a standstill because of it and the
worst of it is we can offer no remedy"
A crop of takers has sprung up and
many are taking large fees for their
Services" A man is going through
the country selling a formula guaran-
teed to cure for $50. He is reported
to be making from 500 to $500 day.
Another crook guarantees to make any
sick horse get up on its feet in ten
minutes. He injects cocaine, a pow
erful stimulant, and the horse leaps
to his feet in a spasm and dies soon
after the fal5er is gone. Many other
quacks are selling all kinds of dope,
but all is worthless. The fact that the
government experts will not recon-
mend a remedy and that the great
serum and antitoXin houses will rec
ommend nothing is overlooked by the
desperate farmers eager to take some
steps to save their stock.
1t was found that in every case in
vestigated the stricken horses had
access to water in buffalo wallows.
This may or may not have something
to do with the cause of the disease,
but the experts made note of 1t. IL
was also found that every stricken
horse examined had been on pasture.
The experts examined closely the wa
ter troughs where infected animals
drank. Many of them were green
with scum and moss. A piece of blue
vitrol as large as a walnut should be
dropped into a tank every two or
three weeks to keep off this green
scum, the farmers were told.

Zirkle. O'Farrall's head struck the
edge of the walk and his skull was
fractured. The court instructed the

Reimann struck O'Farrall he thought
Zirkle was in imminent peril, he was
not even guilty of an assault, and that

Demand for Farm Han DIS.

There is a greater demand for farm
hands just at present than there has
been for many months, with the eX-
ception of wheat harvest time. The
broom corn harvest in Kansas prom
ises to be just as great in proportion
this year as has the wheat harvest,
and the demand for hands to harvest
the broom corn is just as urgent, if
not quite on so large a scale. Ac-
cording to Charles Harris, director OF
the state free employment bureau,
over 200 hands are wanted in the vi
cinity of Sterling, in Rice county;
200 are also badly needed at Liberal.
in Seward county, and 100 extra farm
hands are needed in Lacrosse, Rush
county. At all these places hands are
so greatly needed that the farmers are
offering from 50 to SO a day and
board, according to the capability Of
the hand.
