THE SCIENCE OF FARMING

quently limited to the formation of a
tumor or carbuncle at the point OF the
body at which the infective germs first
gained their entrance.
If hogs are allowed to eat the car
cases of, animals dead from anthrax,
they may contract the disease. The
throat of the hog is usually the part
that shows the first evidence of an at
tack of anthrax.
AT present. cattle and sheep are the
chief sufferers; and outbreaks appear
to be limited to dnimals that run upon
LOW. MOIST LANDS OF A MORE.
OR LESS MUCKY CHARACTER. in
certain regions, where the land is main7
ly hilly, it has been found that anthrax
appears every season among cattle in
pastures containing WET, LOW places.
When good fences are built around
them, however. and the stock is kept
upon the dry portions of the pasture,
the disease quickly disappears. Should
the fences be broken down, allowing
cattle to invade the infected area at
certain seasons of the year, they are
very likely to contract the disease. In
certain parts, ground of this descrip-
ton has been found to retain the germs
of anthrax for several years,-a cir
cumstance which has lead many inves-
tigators to declare that the organism
Is capable of growing from year to
year without any artificial aid or cult
vation, if only planted upon suitable
soil; that it will sprout and grow, pro-
ducing the plant and later the SEED,
thus providing a perpetual source of
infection for the stock that may be al
lowed on this area Of growing anthrax
plants.
Nevertheless. the fact remains that
certain areas of ground remain dam
gerous to stock from year to year.
The chief difference between anthrax
and Texas or tick fever, is that the
course of the former is more acute
and the blood of the animal is dark
and of tar-like consistence, while in
the latter it is thinner than normal.
The presence of fever ticks on the cat
tie also leads one to suspect tick fever
in regions where cattle are not immune
from the anthrax disease.
Treatment-Medicinal treatment of
anthrax In animals has not proved sat-
isfactory. In cases of local anthrax,
incision of the swelling. followed by
the application of disinfectants some
times gives good results. In such cas-
es, however, the danger of disseminat-
ing the infection through discharges
frog the wound tend to make this in-
advisable. unless great care is taken.
Good results have been obtained from
the use of serum in the treatment Of
the disease. For this purpose. 80 to
100 centimeters should be administer
ed beneath the skin or into a vein. IF
no improvement is noticed within d
hours, the injection should be repeat
ed. In a number of instances afforded
to test the curative value of bureau
serum in cases of anthrax in man and
in animals, splendid results were OBJ
tanned.
The successful vaccination of cattle
against any of these infections must
consist in giving the animals so severe
an attack that it will strengthen the
body tissues in such way that no
great number of germs, if any, can

SENATOR HARDING NOMINATED.

non IN session IN Chicago last Saturday
nominated Senator Warren Gamaliel
Harding, Of Ohio, to be the Republican
candidate for President OF the United
Sites. II wasn't so much of a nomina-
ton, but it apparently was the best
that could be done under the circum-
stances.
The convention was a peculiar one in
many respects. The three leading
candidates. General Wood. Senator
Hiram Johnson and Governor Lowden
who each went into the convention with
big following, were not allowed 70
have a look-in. The unpledged dele
gates, who were in ample majority
were completely controlled by the
"old guard" the coterie OF professional
politicians like Senator Lodge, Senator
Penrose and their associates. The
bosses let Wood and Johnson and
Lowden have their fling, but none ever
got within sight OF the goal. After
seven or eight fruitlcss ballots, the
bosses trotted out their dark horse
Senator Harding, who had been select
cd weeks before, and with what was ap-
parently a great squirt Of enthusiasm
sent him ahead an easy winner on the
tenth ballot.
The nomination Of Senator HARDING
was clever bit of political manipula-
ton. Anyone could see that he was
not really the choice of the delegates in
the convention was simply "put
over by the big bosses. The s,;enu-
Gus efforts of Senator Johnson in the
gaining of his delegates before me con.
vcntion, the vast sums spent by Gcncr-
al Woods hackers, the enthusiasm of
the supporters Of Lowdcn, all went for
nought when they encountered the
stone wall of the old guard II was

After going over the docket the court
decided it would be well to return at

dispose of some of the jury cases,
many of which were not at issue at
this time The Judge spent the after
noon IN clearing up all default mat
tiers, partition and foreclosure cases.
This leaves the docket in good shape
as there are but few old cases of
long standing on the docket
Since Judge Purcell took the oath
of Office as judge three cases have
been appealed from his decision,
namely, the case of Rankin vs. Ep-
pier, Madden VS.. PETER and Wilson
vs. Colborn, all from Ellis County,
and in all of said cases the Supreme

of Judge Purcell The last case men
