ton.
Mrs. Logan spoke at several meetings

need for generous contribution to save

auditorium. Mrs. Logan stated last
night that the meeting will be held at
the library, and that another will be
held the following Saturday.
Mrs. Logan has received letters from

Statement of the Reasons
for Declaring Quarantine
Against Cattle Disease

The Secretary of Agriculture last
night made public statement calling
attention to the danger of great losses
in the United States among live stock,
as a consequence of the foot and
mouth disease" epidemic. and explain
ing why the bureau of animal industry
has declared a quarantine on inter-
state shipments of cattle in ten states.
Farmers everywhere are called upon
to report to the bureau any knowledge
s tssz may have OF infected cases among
The statement Is in part as follows:
lat present The chief danger lies in
the possibility of there being concealed
being made by state and federal au-
thorities not only to trace suspicious
shipments, but to convince farmers Of
the seriousness Of the disease. and the
extreme ease with which it is COM
municated, and to urge upon them to
report at once to state or federal au-
thorities all suspicious cases of sore
mouths or lameness.
High Degree Of Contagion.

in past outbreaks where but one ami
NAL in q herd was infected. the entire
herd in almost all cases later con-
traeted the sickness. While the NOR
tally Is not high, the effects of the

useless. They lose flesh rapidly; In
the case Of cows, the milk dries up, or

ton; in the case Of breeding animals.
the animal once infected becomes
valueless for breeding. as 1t may con-
tinue to be q constant carrier of the
contagion.
ut IL possible to cure the external
symptoms, but during the process of at.
tempting to cure one sick animal the
chances are that hundreds of others
may be infected The treatment or kill
ing Of q single animal in a herd was
tried in an outbreak and did not prove
effective, for the reason that the re-
mainder Of the herd soon became affect
ed and had to be killed.
For these reasons the Department Of
Agriculture has already quarantined ten
states for the foot and mouth disease
The federal quarantine prevents all in
terstate movement of stock and ma
teria1s likely to carry the infection. At
the same time the state authorities are
imposing local guarantees which pre-
vent the passage Of animals from farms
or localities known to be infected to
other localities in the same state in
which the disease has not appeared.
Each infected herd. as rapidly as the
disease is discovered, is killed and the
dead animals buried in a covering of
lime. The skins Of the animals are
slashed SO as to permit the rapid action
