THE LIVE STOCK SCOURGE
CAUSES AND CURE FOR MOUTH
AND FOOT DISEASE
Letter From College of Agriculture
on General Subject That Con-
Germs Breeders

The CENSOR is privileged to publish
letter written to Mrs. j. ID. Beck
from the state university agriculture
station on the subject that just now
concerns farmers and breeders. The
information given therein is that there
is little probability of the foot and
mouth disease occurring in our sections
of the state For the first time the
disease has broken out in Wisconsin,
seven herds having been infected and
two of them were destroyed.
COMMUNICATION TO MRS. BECK
The disease is very contagious and Is
caused by virus or germ that passes
through the finest filter. The germ has
never been seen or cultivated. 1t is
spread by persons who have handled in
fected animals, by all classes of live
stock, hay and straw from infected
farms, green hides and fleeces, and by
any transportation agency. Every out
break that has occurred in this country
has been traced to imported infection.
The chief S. mptoms of foot-and-mouth
disease are small water blisters" or
vesicles which develop on the membrane
covering the lips and tongue, and upon
the skin of the feet or the udder. Cat
tie are most susceptible to the disease,
then follow hogs, sheep and goats.
Persons rarely become infected. Ma
turally infected animals may show
symptoms after two days but sometimes
not until eleven days after having been
exposed. A moderate fever develops
in the first or second day. Cattle ''slob-
Der" when eating and dribble long,
sticky threads of saliva from the cor
ners of the mouth. The animals get
lame as result of blisters appearing
between the toes. These blisters soon
break, discharge straw-colored fluid
and leave raw sores which become in
fected with dirt, so that pus forms
In the great majority of cases, re-
covery will occur if the disease is al
lowed to run its course. The mortality
amounts to less than one per cent. as a
rule unless complications set in. How
ever, on account of the serious conse-
quences which would follow an uncon-
Jrolled outbreak, both federal and state
live stock sanitary authorities exert
every means to stamp out the disease.
ALI cloven-footed animals on infected
farms are killed and buried in quick
line. The premises are thoroughly dis
infected and quarantine rules strictly
inforced. Treatment is out of the ques-
lion.
Healthy animals should be protected
in every way possible from coming in
contact with infected objects to prevent
introduction of the disease. 1t is ad-
visable to keep stock out of the high
ways and away from pastures border
ing on ain-traveled roads.
Among the reasons why every effort
should be made to stamp out the dis
ease at once are the following: 1t in
terferes with the sale of animals both
locally and with other states and coun-
tries; it brings about the closure OF
fairs and stock markets; it restricts
the supply of milk and beef. 1t be-
hooves every farmer to cooperate in the
fullest way to prevent the further in
PRODUCTION of the disease into the state.
