Protect Your Stock. Watch for Carriers

The serious losses of the stock owners
of the Middle West due to the ravages
of the foot-and-mouth disease and the
measure of stamping it out should call
attention to the ease with which an cpl
demic may spread and to some potent
carriers of disease which a layman is
inclined to disregard. Prominent a.
mong these carriers is the ordinary
pigeon, and, given a focus of infection,
a flock of pidgeons car soon make the
disease widespread. 1t may also be
said in this connection that the spread
ing of disease among stock is a grave
indictment against the English SPAR
row. Birds alight among the infected
stock to feed and leaving carry away
on their feet or in their alimentary
tract material which is potent to infect
other herds, which they Immediately
proceed to do by flying to the feeding
ground of an unaffected herd and walk
ing over the food. or in the drinking
water and the result is a new outbreak
of the disease. The grewsome buzzard
coming from a meal made on an ami
NAL which has died of some contagious
disease is as dangerous an agent for
the dissemination of germs as could be
imagined.
1t should be borne in mind that no
object or agent moving from one field
to another is too insignificant or trivial
to be disregarded and if you would pro-
tect your stock, see to it that nothing
that is capable of carrying the germ of
disease from infected heards comes in
contact with their food or drinking
water.
