BLACK LEG.

Owing to a recent outbreak of Black
Leg and numerous inquiries concerning
this disease, the following short article
| is submitted
Black Leg or Symptomatic Anthrax is
an acute communicable disease Of cattle,
caused by germ, the Bacillus Of Black
Leg. Some stock raisers are still under
the impression that the disease is caused
by excessive fatness which however, is
incorrect, yet fat calves, as rule, have
less resistance towards Infection 1t is
more prevalent during the spring and
fall in this section and affects cattle par
ticularly between the ages Of six months
and two years.
Black Leg generally runs an acute or
peracute course, hence, in the majority
of cases, diagnosis must be made by
post mortem examination. The disease
may be confused with Anthrax, Hem
orrhagic Septicemia or Malignant Edema
In general way the LESSONS may be
summarized as follows
Carcass greatly distended, crepitation
or sound Of cracking paper under per
cussion of skin, muscles black with gas
eous infiltrations, having peculiar sweet
non-fetid odor upon ncision, hemorr-
hagic exudates in body cavities, anemic

New York "pry" Long Aoo,

New York "Dry" Long Ago.
At one time the whole state Of
New York was under a drastic pro-
hibition law. This was after Maine
voluntarily turned itself into a dry
camp. When Maine took this &C.
ton in 1851. 1t had profound effect
on New York's citizens. Accordingly
a strict dry law was passed by the
New York legislature In 1854, but Gov.
ernor Seymour vetoed the act.
The gubernatorial action caused
one Of the hottest temperance cam
paigns ever waged In America, and
the Wings, favoring temperance, NOM
mated Myron H. Clark for governor,
and the campaign was fought out on
the question Of prohibition. Governor
Seymour was renominated, and was
supported by the liquor element, but
was defeated by scant 300 votes.
Following the election the legislature
in 1855 passed another law ''for the
prevention Of intemperance, pauperism
and crime" which was very severe
measure. 1t was in force for II months.
In 1856 the court of appeals declared
the law imperative and unconstitu.
tional.
