Blind Staggers or Forage Poison.
ing

ing
Several horses died in this Sec
ton a few weeks ago from So
called meningitis, blind staggers
or some other arrangement of
the nervous system. Mr.. G. A.
Roberts of the N. G. Agricultur-
al college writing to MIR. ]. w.
Cameron, of Anson county, has
the following interesting things
to say:
Forage poisoning or blind
staggers" in horses a1d occasion
ally'mules is again very preva-
lent in some sections, The
symptoms are generally first
shown by some arrangement Of
the nervous system. This part
is generally noticed to be the
most seriously affected of any
other part of the body, and the
symptoms vary occording to the
part of the brain involved. In
many very acute cases marked
excitement or delirium is often
present. In less acute cases,
when the animal is standing still,
he is usually found pushing his
head into the corner of his stall
or fence. If the animal is NOV
Ing, he will be found to be walk
ing towards one side or in a cir
Gle, always in the same direction
to either the right or left. If an
attempt is made to turn him to
the opposite side, he will often
fall. An examination of the
eyes will show total or partial
blindness on the side to which
he is turning. In mild or chron-
&c cases the animal usually has
difficulty in swallowing his feed
and water, and often after lying
down will be unable to rise with.
out assistance.
In taking steps TO remedy the
disease it will be found that in
some few 6 the -nilda1 seHssstflfe
animal will recover, even if noth
ing is done. Curative measures
are of little value, for practically
every drug and all mechanical
means have been tried. A brisk
hypodermic purge is thought by
many to be useful in the first
stages. Drenches should not be
given as the throat is often para.
lyzed and the drench goes down
into the lungs.
Prevention should be sought
as far as possible. Always Sc
lect the best of the feeds for the
horses and mules. Upon find,
ing a case, after a period of free
dom from the disease, extra care
should be given to this selection
OF good feed. A variety should
be given, SO as to be sure that
the animals are not getting too
much of the contaminated food
In many cases II is easy TO see
that the feed is bad; in olher
cases, the Iced would not be sus-
pected at all if there were any
other place to fastcn the blame.

animals complete change of

The community. Later the same
iced can often be given with
safety. Corn and fodder are the
feeds appearing to be contamin-
ated most frequently. Shelline

water is often recommended
The fodder may be spread out
In the sun and aired for a time

DEPOT DOINGS.

Roseburg Review: John S. Park,
aged 23, who is in Mercy Hospital
here, is declared by Drs. Settler and
Stewart, local physicians for the
Southern Pacific Company, to be ex-
ceedingly fortunate in now being in
possession of his right foot. Park,
who is a local brakeman, was switch
ing a car on a sidetrack at Irving late
yesterday afternoon, when one of the
wheels ran upon his foot Before it
could completely pass over the mem
ber however, Park was abe to eXtri-
cate it, though in doing so his other
foot came under the wheels and the
large toe of this foot was badly
crushed. Three bones in the fore part
of the right foot were broken and
the member was considerably mashed
and bruised.
A big cut in the firemen's list
showed back several men who have
been holding main line jobs for all
most a year, onto the switch engines.
Railroaders believe that the cut will
be of short duration as the big move
ment of empties north can mean but
one thing, and that is heavy freight
shipments south.
News that Fireman Bill Rush was
married recently in Montague sends
a tingle of anticipatory joy running
up and down the backs of local rail
readers. When Bill visits Ashland
he will have lively time.

Ohio Program.

The program of the entertainment
feature of the Ohio day gathering at
Moose hall last Wednesday was as
follows:
AS is the custom at Ohioans' gath
erings in Ashland, ohio" was sung
to the air of America" the words
being by Mrs. Elizabeth Yockey, a
native daughter There were instru-
mental selections by Mrs. Van Fossen
and Lloyd Stratton. Miss Floy Cant
bers sang, and Miss Miriam Gregg
gave reading, her selection being
Legend of Ohio" an original COM
position by Mrs. Yockey, whose ver-
satile attainments and trenchant pen
have afforded literary treats at the
reunions for seven years in success
sion. Former officers were re-elect-
ed, they being Rev. j. s. Smith, presi-
dent; o. H. Johnson, treasurer Mrs.
Cassius Miller, secretary. The at
tendance was large and enthusiastic.
Upon adjournment the idea found
expression to make the anniversary
in 1917 larger and better than ever.
A straw vote was taken for presi-
dent, the choice being a rather peH-
functory one and was, of course, for
Burton of Ohio.
