BLACK LEG KILLS CATTLE.

DIR. Robert Weir of Rutland, vetern-
airy surgeon, has vaccinated over 200
head of cattle this spring as precaution
against black leg, a disease practically
new in that vicinity or at least no cases
of it had been found until about two
years ago. This year only one herd has
been found affected, and in that case
the farmer lost six cows.
The disease is contagious and appears
in the form of swelling and lameness in
the animal. This develops very rapidly
and death often occurs about "a hours
after the disease has made it's APP
pearance
The scourge is found principally in
young cattle from six months TO two
years of age.
Practically the only method known of
fighting the disease is by vaccination and
proper care of the bodies of the victims,
The vaccine used for this is furnished
free by the government, but the cost OF
vaccination must be paid for by the
owner of the cattle.
In order to he secure against the
spread of the disease, he suggests, that
the dead bodies of the victims be buried
at least six feet under earth, as only
by this means can the scourge be en-
tirely stamped out. When the burials
are shallow. the germs are apt to be
brought to tho surface by earth worms,
Another thing warned against is that OF
burying the dead bodies in marshy land
or land where there is much water, or
near a spring as the germs are carried
very easily in water,
