FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.
Facts About Malady That Is Playing
Havoc With Cattle.

The foot and mouth disease,
known as aphthous fever, epizootic
aphtha, eczema and inoculable ma
lady of animals, characterized by
initial fever, followed by the forma-
ton OF vesicles or blisters on the
tongue, palate and lips, sometimes
in the nostrils, fourth stomach and
intestines of cattle, and on parts of
the body where the skin is thin, as
on. the udder and teats, between the
claws, on the head, coronet and pas
tern.
The disease begins suddenly and
spreads very rapidly. A rise of tenn
perature precedes the vascular erup-
ton, which is accompanied by saliva
tion and a peculiar ''smacking" Of
the lips.
The vesicles gradually enlarge and
eventually break, exposing red, raw
patch, which is very sensitive. The
animal cannot feel so well as usual,
suffers much pain and loses condi-
tion.
If a milk yielding creature, it
gives less milk. More or less lame
ness is a constant symptom. Some
times the feet become much diseas-
ed, the animal so crippled has to be
destroyed. 1t is often fatal to
young animals. 1t is transmitted by
the saliva and the discharges from
the vesicles, though all the secre-
tions and excretions are doubtless in
fective, as we'll as all articles and
places soiled by them.
Though not usually fatal mala-
dy except in young, it is most Sc
rious scourge. In 1892 in Germany,
it attacked 151, 900 farms with an
estimate loss of s35,OO0,00O. 1t is
transmissible to nearly all domestic
animals, but its ravages are most
severe among cattle, sheep and goats.
Human beings are also liable to in
lection. The treatment of affected
animals comprises laxative diet,
with saltiness, and the application
of antiseptics and astringents to the
sores.
The preventive measures are iso-
lation of the diseased animals, boil
ing the milk before use and thor
ough disinfection of all places and
substances which are capable Of con-
veying infection.
The true remedy is the slaughter
of the diseased animal. This Is made
by law obligatory. The dead ami
mails are buried in covering OF
lime. The owner of the slaughtered
animals is reimbursed on basis Of
appraised value, the appraiser being
appointed by the State.-Home and
Farm.

Don't Forget-Plant Wheat:

Information received by The
Herald from all over the county in
dicates that the farmers are plant
ing heavily of wheat. The impor-
tance of wheat planting cannot be
emphasized too much this winter, as
the present price of flour is almost
prohibitive. and considering the
scarcity of money, it is imperative
that the farmer should provide for
his family on his own farm. At the
present pprice of cotton, wheat is
considerably more profitable than
the feecy staple, and the farmers will
make mistake in planting at least
sufficient quantity to supply the
table of his own home.

A Pleasant Party.

Mrs. Johns, with assistance OF
Mrs. J. A. Hunter, are to be congrat-
ulated on the tidy and tasteful man
ner in which they had the dining
room, hall and parlors decorated
with holly, evergreens, ferns and pot
plants.
Promptly at 9 O'Clock the happy
young people were seated around a
most gorgeous and lustrous dining
table, heavily laden with the most
delicious appetizers" that mankind
could desire. Following this there
were six varied and rich courses serv-
ed, which prolonged the dinner hour
from nine until twelve. The courses
were as follows:

schino cherries; raw oysters served
on shells with vegetable salad and
celery; oyster stew with oysterettes.
pickles and olives: fried oysters with
Worcester sauce, Waldorf salad, and
coffee; quail on toast with saltines)

Immediately after dinner the hap
py young couples repaired to the
parlors, where several tables had
been previously arranged for games
of hearts dice etc., where was con-
tinued the most pleasant part Of the
evening.
Just between the parlors, in the
hallway, under a lattice of ever
greens. was artistically arranged on
a japanese table, a handsomely cut
glass punch bowl with twenty-four
cut-glass dippers suspended from its
sides, which was filled and refilled
during the evening with the most
delicious punch that had been pre-
pared by Mrs. NJ. L. Risher, for the
occasion. 1t is needless to say that
this part of the programme was en-
joyed, as was the entire evening.

AUTO AND THE CIRCUS.

Why is the rule attendance at the circus
reversed? Agents report that whereas IN
former years there was larger attendance
in the afternoon than in the evening, now
the larger crowd goes in the evening.
This is due to the automobile. The farmer
now spends hit day in the field. AT night
he puts his family into the auto aad drives,
ten, twenty, thirty miles to the circus and
gets back home again at only little later
than usual bedtime. The automobile is

And doubts tomorrow if 'twere wise,

And but to small achievements rise.
