Of the disease, it is not very diff
cult to realize how the infection
may be spread. even long distan

But, and this is one Of the points
| have tried to stress for the past
twenty years, and in reality Is at
present a regulation Of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board. if we
could enforce the proper and san
itarv disposal Of all carcasses that
have succumbed to the disease,
those various carriers would not
be able to get the infection to
carry, as it would be destroyed
by burning of the carcass. or its
careful deep buriel with lime, al
though fire is the most effec tive
germicidal agent. This is how
the disease is handled in Euro
pean countries, for example,
where it is under governments
control, rather than that of the
individual. And even then, there
are permanently infected areas
in some of these countries that are
simply fenced off as damned
fields. - where no animals are per-
mitted to range or Craze, On ac-
count of this disease.
in the treatment Of this infe"-
ton, there are at least two main
parts which must be rigidly en-
forced, if that is possible, if we
can ever expect to place a check
on the spread Of this disease, viz,
the protection Of all animals in
infected areas ty vaccination ear
ly in the season, before the time
arrives when the disease is like
ly to make it's appearance. In
order to make a date for this, |
have always recommended, that
the 1st Of March should never be
allowed to pass without the first
dose of the double-dose vaccines
having been given. The second
dose is usually administered in
about 10 days after the first. BIT
this would allow a full month
(after the date of the first dose)
to permit the animals to become
protected. Or immunized, by the
first Of April, and it is unusual
for Charlton to break out before
this latter date.
In the infected sections, how
ever, this should be done as a
part of the spring work every
year, whether Charlton may be
anticipated or not, in order to get
he best results.
The second part alluded to, and
which is. perhaps, the more i'm
)ortant. if we are to check the
spread of the infection, is the
proper sanitary disposal of the
charlton carcasses. as it is from
here, left carelessly exposed on
he surface of the ground, that
he infection is carried, and it's
lrea extended from year to year.
Coming back to that part of
your letter which refers to the
