Black Leg Affects North Shaw
nee Cattle.
Graduation Exercises at Lyman
School Tonight.

armerS In the northern part OF the
county are suffering losses from
symptomatic anthrax, or black leg,
which is affecting young cattle.
The disease is reported to be preva-
lent near Granville and is affecting
cattle between the ages of six months
and two years, also sheep and goats.
The germ causing the disease is
| transmitted to cattle through wounds,
and is found in low places. There is
no cure for the disease once calf is
afflicted. Precautionary methods,
however, can be used by the stockmen
to a good advantage. A number of
vaccines and blacklegoids have been
discovered, which successfully check
the progress of the disease.
The first symptoms of blackleg are
shown usually in the hind quarters of
caused by a gas which destroys the
arteries and veins of the victim. Upon
dissecting the flesh is found to be
black, hence the name blackleg.
