prevent the passage of animals from
farms or localities known to be infect
ed to other localities in the same State
in which the disease has not appeared.
Each infected herd, as rapidly as the
disease is discovered, is killed and the
dead animals buried in a covering OF
lime. The skins of the animals are
slashed so as to permit the rapid action
of the lime.
The owner of the slaughtered animals
is reimbursed on basis Of the appraised
value of the herd. the appraiser being
appointed by the State. The expense
of the whole process of condemnation
and disinfection is divided equally be-
tween the Federal and State Govern
ments.
Until the entire premises have been
thoroughly disinfected and all danger
Of spreading the disease removed, the
farm is quarantined by the local au-
thorities in the same way in which it
would be for contagious human dis
ease. This local quarantine prevents
the visit of individuals or the transfer
of any produce or animals from the
farm to other farms. In some cases.
because human beings can carry the
disease to other herds. the State au-
thorities have prevented children on
infected farms from attending school.
Ac present the chef danger lies in
the possibility of there being conceal
ed sources of infection. Every effort
is being made by State and Federal
authorities, not only to trace suspicious
shipments, but to convince farmers OF
the seriousness of the disease and the
extreme ease with which it is communi-
Gated, and to urge upon them to report
at once to State or Federal authorities
all suspicious cases of sore mouths or
lameness.

The Fight Against Hoof-and- Mouth
Disease.

The present outbreak of the foot-and-
mouth disease, which is one of the most
contagious and destructive diseases of
cattle, swine or sheep, affects an area
exceeding any of the five previous out
breaks in this country. Unless the in
lection can be Immediately localized
and quickly eradicated. it threatens
untold losses among live stock.
So contagious is the disease that in
past outbreaks where but one animal
in herd was infected, the entire herd
in almost all cases later contracted the
sickness. While the mortality is not
high the effects of the disease even on
animals that recover are such as to
make them practically useless. They
lose flesh rapidly; in the case of cows,
the milk dries up or is made dangerous
for human consumption; in the case of
breeding animals, the animal once in.
fected becomes valueless for breeding,
as it may continue to be a constant
carrier of contagion.
1t is possible to cure the externa
symptoms, but during the process OF
attempting to cure one sick animal the
chances are that hundreds of others
may be infected. The treatment OF
killing of single animal in herd wa
tried in an outbreak and did not prove
effective, for the reason that the re
| mainder of the herd soon became at
fected and had to be killed.
| AS a result of the five outbreaks il
this country, and other disastrous cpl
denies of the disease in Europe ant
Great Britain, veterinary authorize
of the United States are agreed tina
the only method of combating the dis
ease is to stop all movement of stoc
and material which have been subject
ed to any danger of infection, and tt
kill off without delay all herds in whic
the disease has gain ed any foothold
This enables the authorities to eradicat
affected herds and to isolate and hol
under observation all suspected herds
For these reasons, the Department Q
Agriculture has already quarantine
ten States for the foot andmouth dis
ease. The Federal quarantine prevent
all interstate movement of stock an
materials likely to carry the infection
At the same time, the State authorize
are imposing local guarantees whic
