FARMERS OF INDIANA
SHOULD WATCH STOCK
Extra Precautions Needed to
Prevent Disease Spread,
Says Dr.. Nelson.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Nov. 11.-Dr.
A F Nelson. state veterinarian, today
issued a statement in which he warn
ed Indiana stockmen and cattle ship
pers and growers that the most dras-
tic methods must be taken II the
spread of hefnorrhagic septicemia, ire
uuently with pneumonia complications,
L. prevented in Indiana. The disease
~ prevalent in the western states, the
state officials statement says, and Is
due TO Infection. Continuing the
statement said:
las il is impossible to prevent this
disease from entering stOckyards in
this state unless an embargo is placed
against all public stOckyards in other
states. which would shut off prac-
ticallv all movement OF feeders ana
stockers into this state at time when
il is impossible TO secure local cattle
10 supply the demand. the following
suggestions are given TO persons pur-
chasing feeding cattle, that each pur-
chaser may guard against the spread
Of the disease to native cattle, should
the imported animals develop the
trouble:
isolate the animals from all ma
tive animals for a period of 10 days.
IF any show symptoms. isolate
them Immediately from all other an
finals and do not allow them TO have
access to a running stream or water
trough where healthy animals drink.
sick animals must have plenty of
fresh air. but avoid exposure to ele-
ments.
Clean and disinfect buildings. feed
lots and watering troughs where sick
animals have been before allowing any
healthy animals access to them"
In another phase of the statement
Nelson said:
Influenza OF the horse is so prev
alent that all persons purchasing an
imals in public market realize that
the animals almost invariably con-
tract the disease. The spread of ii to
native horses should be prevented by
isolation of the animals purchased,
until it is assured they will not be af-
fected.'
Reports from the bureau of animal
industry in Washington TO the state
officials indicate that the septicemia is
more prevalent than for many years.
