The C0UNTRY'S WAR AGAINST
The FO0T-AND- MOUTH DISEASE

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 ap-
praiser is appointed by the state au-
thorities to value the herd. The sum
thus fixed 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
d1sinfected 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 crime for
any one to crafty his curiosity at
the expense of his neighbors. In ad-
dition to this danger there are also a
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
. fever blisters and possibly 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.
A Started in Michigan.
The present outbreak originated in
southern Michigan but how the germ
found it's 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

WORKING To SAVE
WISCONSIN CATTLE
GOVERNMENT INSPECTORS AIM
TO DRIVE FOOT AND MOUTH
DISEASE FROM STATE.
FARMS BEING DISINFECTED
Found Will Be Fumigated by ".
S. Experts-Restricti on
Auction Sales.

Milwaukee.-Dr. A. E. Wright, gov.
eminent inspector in charge of the
foot and mouth fight in Wisconsin, and
his twenty assistants, together with
the twenty odd state men in the field
have begun disinfecting. Every farm
where herd has BEEN found afflicted
with the disease will be disinfected
under the supervision of a government
expert. How long it will take to &C
complish this and to assure the state
that no further outbreaks can be ex
pected could not be determined by DR.
Wright. He said the task would de
pend entirely upon conditions.
Must Certify Sale Cattle.
State Veterinarian Eliason issued
an order requiring all cattle offered for
sale at public auction or public sale
between this date and Jan. 1 to be
certified by licensed Wisconsin veter
inaries that they are free from the
foot and mouth disease and that the
herds from which they come are also
free from that disease. He has notified
all the transportation companies OF
hides to be disinfected before being
shipped out of the state.
No Quarantine for Poultry.
Fears of extension of the foot and
mouth disease quarantine on live
stock to poultry, have been allayed by
department of agriculture officials.
''The federal foot and mouth quar-
antine has not and will not be extend
ed to poultry, except to farms where
the disease has been discovered
among cattle, swine or sheep" said
DR.. John R. Miller, chief pathologist
of the bureau of animal industry.
Governor Issues Proclamation.
Gov. McGovern has issued a procla-
nation requiring that all shipments CT
cattle, sheep or hogs into Wisconsin,
made since Sept. 1, where they came
from the Union stock yards in Chi
cago, be reported at once to the Wis.
consin livestock and sanitary board
and the herds placed in quarantine
pending Inspections by the state body
''This order will permit us to trace
all probable cases and effectively
check any possible spread of the foot
and mouth disease in Wisconsin, ~
said DR.. A. G. Eliason, state veteri.
marian.
A rigid quarantine is being en-.
forced in Rock, Kenosha and Racine
counties in the vicinity of the farms
where outbreaks of the disease have
occurred.
Dr. Eliason, in answer to the many
inquiries as to the extent of the anti.
shipping order explained that the fed
eral quarantine prohibited the inter
state shipping of all live, cloven-hoofed
animals.

EXCELLENT POINTS
CONCERNING SWINE
Alfalfa Recognized as of Greatest
Value in Hog Feeding
Care for S0WS.
(By G.. S. MILLER.)


If you intend to pillow your blue
grass and clover pastures next spring,
let the pigs have free range over them
until the snow falls.
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-
nized as of the greatest value IN
hog feeding. Give brood SOW plenty
of cut alfalfa with a 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 not 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 hot
stove, dash out into the storm, shower
a few bushels of corn on the ground
for their hogs, and then leave them
IN sbiyer 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 quantities OF
copperas, it has been used with great
success to preserve the health OF
hogs. A very small portion, say a
teaspoonful in barrel of drinking wa
for once or twice a week. is recon-
mended.

Finally spoke to our family physi-
clan about it and he asked IL drank
much coffee and mother told him that
l did. He told me to Immediately stop
drinking coffee and drink Postum in
its place, as he and his family had
used Postum and found it a powerful
rebuilder and delicious food-drink.

idea of having to give up my coffee, but

The foot-and-rp outh disease affects
particularly cattle, swine end 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 of. The animals
lose flesh with extraordinary rapidity
and In the case of milk cows the milk
supply Is so seriously affected that 1t
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,
zhich is opened and shut with a
peculiar smacking sound In short
time similar eruptions appear on the
feet, which are red, tender, swollen
and painful. In consequence the ami
NAL persists in lying down and bed
sores soon develop. The udders of
milk cows are also susceptible and
the sores interfere with milking.
Most Contagious Of Stock Plaques.
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 microscope and passes through
the finest filter known to science. 1t
can be carried in any one of hun
dred ways. In addition to direct con-
tact with affected animals, the disease
can be communicated by hay, straw.

Cats, dogs, and poultry have been

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 off keeping
strangers from visiting their stock.
The CONSCIOUSNESS of the disease
indeed is such that when one animal
in 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 al cattle, sheep and
swine on an infected farm. When a
case is discovered a deep trench is
dug. the animals led into it, siaught-
cred, their hides slashed, and the car
casses treated with quicklime and
then buried under at least five feet OF
earth. 1t 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
