OUR FENCES

Because OF the inability OF the United States to supply its wi wants
at the present time. due o the fact that the country has eve taken
advantage OF its W resources and has depended altogether o n Europe
for the articles desired and that source OF supply o being ut off. the
following editorial, from Popular Mechanics, is particularly timely:
realized how many important links in our industrial chain were held
abroad. We have moved along the path of least resistance with appa1-
emily little concern a to a possible failure OF supply of many essential
parts N manufacturing scheme. The al has suddenly opened II
eyes to the fact that important processes in our own mills
were wholly dependent on the continuous supply of certain
chemicals, for instance, which either are not made at all here, o only in
:nfcrior grade or insufficient quantities. 1t is anything but creditable that
W should have so long complacenty bought abroad with little or n"
thought of eventuaites. Nv we suddenly face the predcament of Ger
tain large mills shutting down, with thousands Of employees thrown ont
of work. just for want Of necessary dyes. Either OF account of some
prejudice in favor of foreign goods n because the price or quality a
been given our home chemical products. We ire told, however, that II
own natural resources will provide nearly all the raw material for max
ing these chemicals here, but chemical works are costly and cannot be
built in a day. While it is not good for a nation to hope to be o self
contained it need buy nothing abroad, the other extreme OF absolutely
no production at home is also bad. If we are wise, present conditions
will not again be possible.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE

Few farmers or stock growers in this country had any real knowi-
edge Of the nature of the foot and mouth disease when its existence az
eminent. No trace of it apparently has been noted in the United States
since 1870, when it was introduced from Canada, where it had been
brought by cattle from England. Over twenty years ago the farms OF
Germany were swept by the plague and the losses were put at nearly
$4O0OOO,
What makes the foot and mouth disease especially dangerous is the
ease with which it is carried and the rapdity with which it spreads.
Once it gained a start in a cerhins section, by the infection of the pens
OF the stock yards and of cattle cars, it wa bound to extend quickly in
many directions through the ordinary channels OF traffic. In establishing
a strict quarantine in all localities where discovered, the government
has taken only the first step toward extnguishing it. The isolation of all
places and substances through which the infection may be carried are
necessarily local measures.
Beginning with a sudden fever, the foot and mouth disease soon lie
veals itself through the formation of bisters on the tongue and in the
mouth and nostnEs, and o other parts OF the body where the skin is
thin, especially on the tender parts of the feet. The immediate effect is
that the animal has difficulty in feeding and develops lameness. The
disease "a be transmitted to most domestic animals horses seeming ito
be the least susceptible, while sheep, goats or swine ire its chief victims.
A puzzGng feature of this kind of cattle plague is that while in
Europe it has been traced back for over 1000 years, periodically it breaks
out with extraordinary viruence and spreads like wi1dfre. That the
disease was conveyed to the United States this yea from som part of
Europe is the opinion OF experts but n o n is able to say when or how
it arrived.
