WHEAT B[OET
!. KILLS CATTLE
Reports from Many Counties :
Bloat Acts Like Poison
But Trouble May Not :,
Be In the Wheat

The state board Of agriculture has
received reports that farmers In Lin
coin, Cloud. Dickinson, Rice, Butelr.
Bourbon, Miami, johnson and Ellis
counties have suffered cattle losses be-
cause of "wheat blOat," q new disease.
The exact nature Of the disorder Is
not known. The veterinary depart
ment of the agricultural college at
Manhattan Is making investigations
and Is Inclined to the belief that the
trouble does not come from the wheat
pasture, but that II Is due TO hemor-
rhagic septicemia, the germs Of which
have had favorable opportunity for
growth this spring. When the deathh
occur among cattle It Is advisable TO
remove to upland pasture and Separ-
ate the sick animals from the rest. =
In writing of the new disease, Geo.
z. Palmer, Of Ellis county, says:
"This wheat poisoning Is something
new foAthe stOckmen to fight against.
II acts to me like 4 clear case Of poi
SON caused by something in the green
wheat. In my own experience ! had
three fat cows lay down at night and
the next morning they could not gst
up. Two were as crazy as cattle could
|get. One blOated fRboytI sADOnSrwas
stuck and she lived until night. One
died at noon IN grestagCpyg Theothird
could not get up for two days. iCattsq
are dying all over the country Ny
daughter writes from Hoxie that they
had fifteen cattle down and that tsn
died" 80
Sec. ]. C. Mohler believes that the
trouble will be stopped If cattle are
kept of of wheat, now that pastures
are good.
There are also reports Of black leg
in Lincoln, Marshall, Mcpherson, But
ler, Leavenworth, Johnson, Douglas,
Franklin, Miami, Bourbon, WOOdsOn
and Montgomery counties. No con-
cern is felt over the black leg, as there
is a vaccine that will stop It.
H. N. Graefe, of the federal bureau
of animal industry, also announced
that the bureau had discovered new
and very dangerous dietary disease in
cattle in certain counties In western
Kansas which had been the cause Of
numerous deaths and which Is ap-
parently spreading. The new disease.
he said, has almost assumed the pro-
portions of an epidemic and Is re-
ported to have caused the death Of
more than q dozen cattle within
twenty minutes in Thomas county:
The federal bureau believes the dis
ease is caused by the cattle eating the
new wheat, as almost all Of the deaths
resulted Immediately after the ami
mails had grazed over new wheat
fields.
The first cases of the new disease
appeared at Gem Kansas, and spread
in q few days thru Thomas, Meade
and Gray counties and is now affect
ing cattle in Wabaunsee county, where
five deaths Of cattle were reported.
