FARMERS MUST BE CAREFUL
Missouri Has No Cause Thus Far to
Fear Foot and Mouth Disease,
Says Veterinary.

The foot and mouth disease, the
most devastating ailment to which cat
tie are subject, was discussed recent
ly by Dr. A. T. Kinsley. president Of
the Kansas City Veterinary College
and deputy veterinarian for Western
Missouri.
Il do not think there Is any cause
for alarm in Missouri" he said. "but
1t is best for the farmers to be alert.
Since the government has placed q
quarantine on Illinois, Pennsylvania.
Michigan and Indiana. all that re-
mains for the farmers Of Missouri and
Kansas to do Is to keep a sharp watch
out for the appearance Of the symp.
toms"
II is a chamring OF the Jaws or lips
that first heralds the Appearance Of
the disease, DR.. Kinsley explained.
Soon after the lips become red and
swollen, the tongue swells and breaks
out with sores and the animal drools
from the mouth. At the same time
the sores appear above the hoofs Of
the animal.
The disease is not necessarily IA
tai one, but the results are, as 1t is
thought best to kill all affected ami
mails, because there is no cure and
because the disease is so contagious
the strongest methods to stamp 1t out
are necessary
The contaglon is carried on the
wind much as hog cholera is spread.
Dr. Kinsiey points out, and its dis
semination is so rapid that only the
most vigorous means are effective.
This means to kill and burn all af-
fected animals, to dlsinfect the prem
ises and barns. II 1t is an old barn
burning 1t is recommended. II It Is
newer. a solution OF corrosive sub
Innate sprayed over II inside and out

A Pig For Every Child.

"a pig for every child" will
solve more Of the farm life prob
lens than the man looking
through purely scientific glasses
may realize. Secretary Mayes
of the state board of agriculture
is guilty of coming that homely
phrase. He says "Give every
child a pig and let that pig be-
long to that child in fact, not a
play pig" The practical pig
club in every farm home will buy
more ponies and books and new
clothes and benzine buggies and
send more boys to agricultural

Complaints are being m ade in
many sections of North Missouri
that wolves are numerous and
are killing many sheep and
small hogs. Few reports of the
ravages on the sheep folds of
Livingston county farmers have
been made partially for the rea-
son that dozens Of young cubs
were captured and destroyed
early this year while they were
quite small. In Randolph,
Charlton and Carol counties the
depredations by these animals
have been numerous. In the
former county farmers claim it is
a mystery where the old wolves
come from. Having been de-
prived of their offsprings in Liv-
ingston county it is very proea-
BILE that the parent wolves mi
grated to a more congenial cline.
AT the present time farmers are
taking every precaulion to save
their sheep. Lanterns are being
hung on the fences at night to
keep the wolves away. A pre-
posterous idea is put forth in a
Moberly paper that the old
wolves once belonged to a trav.
cling managerie and that they
had made their escape.
