to Fight Foot and Mouth Plague.

Washington, Feb. Under the re-
cent urgent deficiency act which was
signed by the president on January
rs $2,5OO,OOO is now available for the
eradication OF the foot-and-mouth
disease. Up to January 1, 1915. the

OF this sum $1,S4O,328.99 repre-

owners for their loss. of which the
government pays half and the indi-
vidual states the remainder. The
figu IS show that exclusive Of the
work in January, 101,176 animals
have been slaughtered. OF these, 49,
268 were cattle, 47.735 swine and the
remainder sheep and goats.
The money now at the disposal of
the department Of agriculture WILL it
is believed. aid the campaign against
the pestilence by enabling the govern
ment to make prompt payment to all
owners of infected herds and thus
minimize the reluctance of farmers
to have their stock slaughtered. In
Illinois, for example, approximately
100000 is now available for this
purpose. The loss in that state has
been larger than in any other,

slaughtered.
