any symptoms Of the disease. Once
this had taken place, every shipment
of stock from Chicago to other parts
of the country was likely to spread
the infection For this reason fed
eral inspectors have for some time
now been engaged in tracing, by the
aid of bills of lading and other rail
road records, each of these shipments
to its destination and inspecting the
stock there. This accounts for the
discovery of cases in states as far re-
moved from each other as Iowa and
Massachusetts. The various quaran-
tines already imposed have been de-
signed to prevent the continued move

picious places. Once these move

FIND PLEASURE In POULTRY.
Woman May Find as Much Enjoyment
With Flock of Birds as She Does
on Shopping Expedition.

The woman who finds herself pos
sessed for the first time of a flock Of
poultry will soon learn that she may
spend an afternoon working with her
birds and be just as much amused as
if she spent her time shopping, nor
will she be nearly so tired as if she
had been walking around on hard
sidewalks.
Instead of being out of pocket-for
most every woman will buy things that
she does not need II she chances to
see then-she will find that she has
added TO the possibilities for gain.
To be out in the open air and sun
chine is to see more real life than
does the woman who is always in the

the lime and partly to remove any
temptation to dig them up again and
sell them. The entire farm premises
are the thoroughly disinfected and no
STOCK allowed upon them for a period
OF approximately sixty days.
Appraiser Values the Herd.
In order to compensate the owner
Of his property thus condemned in the
interest of the public welfare, an APP
pralser is appointed by the state au-
thorities to value the herd. The sum
thus liked is divided equally between
the state and the federal authorities.
In the last outbreak in 1908 in New
England it cost the federal govern
ment. which was then paying two
thirds of the appraised values, ap-
proXimately 100000 for condemna-
ton, slaughter and disinfection. The
present outbreak is regarded as much
more serious.
The inspectors engaged in this
work are equipped with a complete
rubber outfit which can be thoroughly
dislnfected after each exposure to in
lection. Persons who have not the
advantage of this equipment should
vigorously refrain from exposing them
selves to the least risk of infection.
AS has already been said, the disease
is frequently transmitted by human
beings, and it is really a crime for
any one to crafty his curiosity at
the expense of his neighbors. In ad-
dition to this danger there are also
number of cases on record in which
both children and adults have become
infected themselves. Ordinarily the
disease is not serious in men, but
weakly children who drink contami-
mated milk suffer so severely that in
few cases death has been known to
result. With adults the malady usu-
ally takes no more serious form than
slight eruption in the mouth similar
to fever blisters and possibly a SINH
lar eruption on the hands and fingers.
There may be also some fever and
nausea, but there is comparatively lit
tie danger. In countries where the
disease is prevalent many authorities
believe that it is fairly general in
human beings but that the consequent
disturbances in health are so slight
that they are not brought to the at
tention of physicians.
Started in Michigan.
The present outbreak originated in
southern Michigan but how the germ
found its way there is not yet def
nitely known. 1t seems probable that
some cattle became infected, that
their milk was sent to a creamery
and the skim milk then returned to
be fed to hogs, A herd of these in
fected hogs was then shipped to Chi
cago where they infected the stock

No other feed for small pigs ranks
as high in value as skim milk. II
you do not have plenty of it on your
own farm, better arrange to get some
from a neighbor, even if it takes
trouble to do it,
In the West alfalfa is now recog

of cut alfalfa with small ration of
corn, say not more than two pounds
per day, and she will come through
the winter in fine condition.
A slop made Of shorts and hot wa
ter, fed every other day, is an excel
lent thing for brod sows.
A good many men will tear them
selves from close proximity to a hot
stove. dash out into the storm, shovel
a few bushels Of corn on the ground
for their hogs, and then leave them
to SILVER and freeze without adequate
shelter during the night These men
are the fellows who are always sure
there is no money in hog raising.
Since Doctor Moore's discovery Of
the hitherto unknown qualities of
copperas, it has been used with great
success to preserve the health of
hogs. A very small portion, say a
teaspoonful in a barrel of drinking wa
ter once or twice week, is recon-
mended.

cattle ultimately eradicate the dis
ease. The federal guarantees are &C
companied by state and local quaran-
tines of individual infected farms.
From these no produce whatsoever
can be sent out. In many cases chill
dren are not even permitted to go to
school, and the farmer cannot drive
his horses on the public highways
Stock Raisers Should Help.
The chief obstacle in the way of the
successful prosecution of this cam
paign of isolation and determination
lies in the danger that there may be
concealed sources of infection. Al
though the farmer receives the APP
praised value of his herd, it is In
evitable that the summary slaughter
of all his stock should cause him con-
siderable inconvenience as well as in

seriously interfere with the supply of
meat for the people.
The foOt-and-mouth disease affects
particularly cattle, swine and sheep.
1t is characterized by sores in the
the mouth which make swallowing
painful and frequently cause the ami
mails to refuse all food, and by sores
on the feet which cause lameness and
in severe cases, occasionally result in
the hoofs dropping off The animals
lose flesh with extraordinary rapidity
and in the case of milk cows the milk
supply is so seriously affected that it
frequently dries up altogether. The
first evidences of the disease are a
chill followed quickly by fever, the
temperature sometimes rising as high
as 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Small
vesicles or blisters about the size of
a pea appear shortly after in the
mouth and spread rapidly. AS the
disease advances ropy saliva hangs
from the afflicted animals mouth,
which is opened and shut with a
peculiar smacking sound In a short
time similar eruptions appear on the
feet, which are red, tender swollen
and painful, In consequence the ami
NAL persists il lying down and bed
sores soon develop. The udders Of
milk cows are also susceptible and
the sores interfere with milking.

Although the mortality is, except in
very severe outbreaks, comparatively
low. foot-and-mouth disease is prob
ably the most contagious of all stock
plaques. The germ which causes it
is so small that it Is invisible under
the miscroscope and passes through
the finest filter known to science. 1t
can be carried in any one of hun
bred ways In addition to direct con-
tact with affected animals, the disease
can be communicated by hay, straw,
bedding, harness, ropes, in fact, any
thing that has even indirectly came
in contact with diseased animals.
Cats, dogs, and poultry have been
to farm, and in particular this Is fire.
Quently done by human beings Al
ready in the present outbreak cases
are on record where the curiosity of
farmers has led them to visit infected
herds. On their return to their own
homes these men have given the dis
ease to their own animals. For this
reason the authorities are urging up
on every one the duty of refraining
from such visits and of keeping
strangers from visiting their stock.
The consciousness of the disease
indeed is such that when one animal
in a herd becomes infected it is con-
sidered useless to attempt to save
the remainder of the herd For this
reason the federal authorities have
adopted the only practical method Of
stamping out the disease, namely, the
slaughter of all cattle sheep and
swine on an infected farm. When a
case is discovered a deep trench is
dug, the animals led into it, slaught-
cred. their hides slashed, and the car
cases treated with quicklime and
then buried under at least five feet of
earth. II is advisable to slaughter
the animals in the ditch itself in order
that the ground may not become af-
fected by dragging the dead bodies
over it, The hides are slashed part
ly in order to facilitate the action Of

can see no further ahead than this
and who do not realize what it would
mean to the entire country if the dis
ease were once to gain firm foothold
here, there is a natural temptation
not to report suspicious cases to the

to cut of ones nose to spite ones

out by ignoring it. The only possible
way in which stock raisers can save
themselves tremendous losses in the
