I'VE have good strong lecture
force in the field composed of Messrs.

CHEROKEE.

| In the past few weeks ! met with
some cases of blag leg Black leg is.
"A most virulent rapidly fatal, infec-
| tiOus disease of cattle. All young
cattle that have begun to forage for
| themselves are most susceptible to the
disease, Sheep and goats may also.
contract the disease, but horses, hogs
dogs, fowls and man are immune.
| The name of the disease describes il
fairly well. II we take all the symp-
toms and effects into consideration,
Black leg is disease peculiar to
young cattle and should not be con-
| founded with anthrax, which attacks
horses, mules, sheep. goats and man.
The symptoms of black leg are char
eristic and easily recognized by the
careful observer They begin from one
to three days after infection has taken
place, with loss OF appetite and OF
rumination, with dullness and debility
and high fever I.amneness or stiff
ness of oen or more limbs due to the
most important symptoms is the SWELL
ing under the skin located on the
thighs, the shoulders, the neck, flank
At first small the swelling spreads
rapidly in extent and depth, and in the
first stages is very painful. When
struck or handled, a peculiar cracking
sound is heard under the skin, due to
collection of gas formed b ythe
germs as they multiply.
There is no doubt but what blaJ
leg is caused by specific bacillus
which gains entrance to the tissues and
muscles through wounds and abrssions
principally of the skin, sometimes by
the mouth, tongue and throat Slight
wounds caused by stubble, barbed-
wire, thorns, briars, sharp or pointed
parts OF food
BY this II viii be seen that black
leg Is a germ disease OF the most pro-
nounced type The germs get into the
tissues and multiply with great rapid
ity, aud germs soon produce millions
Animals thus infected nearly always
die within one to three days When
death comes the body of the victim
should be promptly burned. or buried
deep and covered with lime. to preveHt
the spread Of infection which is CON
veyed by animals or birds who eat the
carcass; by the feet OF animals or man
who tread about infected places, or by
the animals themselves when infected
and still living. Therefore burning
the dead is much to be preferred, as a
protection to the surviving animals,
! hope the people viii consider this
as business proposition.

tion elk and deer were actually sold for the pur-
pose Of providing Christmas holiday free
lunches" 1T several saloons. and the proceeds
from these sales were used for general park pur-
poses.
Occasionally some of the interesting families
at the park zoo become too numerous and it is
the logical plan, in such event, to sell some OF
the surplus animals, or to use them for trading
purposes. Yesterday the board Of public works
wisely decided that in the future the proceeds
derived from the sale of any animal shall be
placed in special fund, to be used exclusively
for the purchase Of additions to the collection.
It may never be possible for the city to pos
sess an extremely varied collection of animals /;
for instance. it would be impracticable to add
tropical animals to the park zoo because of the
expense for caring for them, but there are plenty
Of hardy animals Of northern United States and
Canada which could be secured and be most in
teresting additions to the already pretentious
menagerie, for instance, buffaloes, Rocky noun
tain goats, mountain lions, catamounts, etc.
If you doubt how popular any policy calling
for more comprehensive nenagerie will be take
occasion to notice the next time you are at Glen
park what interested audiences the monkeys,
bears, elk and other animals always have.
