DISEASE OF FOOT AND MOUTH
Trouble Caused by Virus or Germ
That Passes Through Finest Fill
ter-Protect Healthy Animals

Foot-and-mouth disease has broken
out in several middle West states. Ii
is very contagious and is caused by
virus or germ that passes through
the finest filter, The germ has never
been seen or cultivated. 1t is spread
by persons who have handled infected
| animals, by all classes of live stock,
hay and straw from infected farms,
| green hides and fieeces. and by any
transportation agency Every out
| break that has occurred in this coun-
try has been traced to imported in
lection.
The chief symptoms of foot-and-
mouth disease are small "water-blis-
ters" or vesicles which develop on the
membrane covering the lips and
tongue, and upon the skin of the feet
or the udder. Cattle are most sus-
ceptible to the disease. then follow
hogs, sheep and goats. Persons rare
ly become infected Naturally infected
animals may show symptoms after
two days but sometimes not until IL
days after having been exposed. A
moderate fever develops in the first
| or second day. Cattle "slobber" when
eating and dribble long. sticky threads
of saliva from the corners of the
mouth. The animals get lame as q
result of blisters appearing between
the toes. These blisters soon break,
discharge a straw-colored fluid and
| leave raw sores which become in-
| fected with dirt. so that pus forms.
In the great majority OF cases. re-
| covery will occur il the disease is al
/ lowed to run its course. The mortality
amounts to less than I per cent as a
rule unless complications set in. How
ever, on account of the serious conse-
| quences which would follow an uncon-
| trolled outbreak, both federal and
| state live stock sanitary authorities
exert every means to stamp out the
disease, All cloven-footed animals on
infected farms are killed and buried
| in quicklime. The premises are thor
oughly disinfected and quarantine
rules strictly enforced. Treatment is
out of the question.
I IlC6llHg dHlAudtS Suuulu DO pro-
tected in every way possible from
coming in contact with infected OBJ
jects to prevent introduction of the
disease. It is advisable to keep stock
out of the highways and away from
pastures bordering on main-traveled
roads.
Among the reasons why every eff
| fort should be made to stamp out the
disease at once are the following; 1t
interferes with the sale Of animals
both locally and with other states and
countries; it brings about the closure
of fairs and stock markets; it re-
stricts the supply of milk and beef.
1t behooves every farmer to cooperate
in the fullest way to prevent the fur
Their introduction of the disease into
| the state.

HINTS FOR DAIRYMAN
Keep Cows Clean by Careful and
Easy Brushing.
Anlms Is Bred to come-ln In Fall Are
ia Best Flow of MIX During Win
ter-keep a Record and Weed
Out Weak Producers.

Keep the old hair brushed off as fast
as it becomes loose and do not allow
the COW to get it mixed with her feed
or get it in her mouth while licking
herself when turned out in the yard.
To some it may seem as an over
refinement to brush a COW, but there
is no doubt of its being useful and
beneficial when done in an easy and
careful manner.
If cows are bred so as to comein In
the fall they are in their best flow of
milk during tho winter. BY spring,
when they begin to fall off in milk the
grass comes in to stimulate a larger
flow and they keep 1t up until time to
be dried off for the next calf. This
gives the nonmilking period at a time
In the year when butter and milk are
the lowest.
Don't be afraid to begin feeding
early in the fall IL the pastures are
short, for 1t does not pay to have cows
fail in their milk at this time in the
year.
The total solids in milk are largely
dependent on the quality of the food
given, while the richness of the in.
gradients depends on the breed
We know a little dairy of Is cows
which has brought in its owner just
about an even hundred dollars a
month all this season. The cows are
selected mixers and the owner is a

ATTENTION TO COLTS FEET
Neglect VIII Contribute Largely to
Poor Set Of Legs, influencing Eff
cheney Of Animal.

CBy W II. PALMER. Ohio College Of Az
rculture.J
Poor feet and legs found upon the
large majority OF horses are due d.
rectly to the lack Of proper care OF
the colts feet To neglect to see that
the foot grows out evenly is to con
tribute TO a poor set Of legs which
influence directly the efficiency Of the
horse when used later. AS the colt
grows, it may throw more weight on
one side Of rs feet than the other
causing that side to wear faster and
producing an unbalanced condition.
Nature, in her attempt to overcome
this. causes the bones Of the legs to
adjust themselves 10 this condition. re-
sulting in poorly placed and developed
legs. Then the added weight to one
side may cause the uneven develop
ment Of the hoot The ideal foot Is
one that < large and round, WITH the
wall at the quarter sloping the same
on the inside as the outside and the
heels wide.

more than repaid by the elimination
of one Improbable animal from the
herd
Don't let the cows sleep out on cold,
rainy nights when you need a fire to
keep warm in the house. 1t takes feed
to heat her body and you cannot get
as good returns at the pail by this
treatment.
What is each Of your cows costing
you?
1t is a good plan to test the cows
occasionally to see If there are any
deadheads in the herd. Might be a
good plan to watch the owner care
fully, too. He is just as susceptible
to deadheadedness as the COWS.
Before you rid the dairy herd Of the
"robber COW" make sure that she is
having a fair show by being supplied
with the proper rations. care and
shelter.
Keep the fall calf growing and you
will have a good one to turn out on
pasture in the spring.
In the feeding of calves there is a
splendid opportunity for a man to ex-
ercise patience and kindness.
A large part Of the danger from
dirt in milk can be avoided by using
a pail with hood.
