Civil War Prices

At the beginning OF the year
1865, end of the civil war being
in slight, wholesale prices broke
suddenly and violently. In the
first six months of the year prices
in general fell off II per cent from
the high level of January. How
ever, the break in wholesale prices
though unprecedented in viol-
ence and accompanied by the
unsettling influence of the end of
great war, produced no business
crisis or depression. Through
the latter half of 1865. prices re-
covered from the low point until
in January, 1866, they stood just
16 per cent below the level of
1865. From the beginning of
1866 prices dropped slowly down
ward. They did not reach the
pre-war level until the year 1877.

What good was the money I re-

out in this country that money wasn't
of much value in getting a dinner.
So wherever possible l asked for food

a report just received by the Amert

STOCK DISEASES
Hemorrhagic Septice mi a,
Known Also as Swine PLAQUE
and clog FIu"Threatens
the Industry

Among the various infectious dis
eases to which animals are susceptible,
Hemorrhagic Septicemia, is more or
less frequent in it's occurrence, and its
control offers an exceedingly important
problem at the present time. Every
state and every country has its losses
from this disease and experience in the
= past has impressed the Importance of
Banging it forcioiy to the attentions of
our livestock people, says DIR. VI. ia
cob, State Veterinarian. An enormous
amount of investigational work during
the past few years has given a clearer
conception of this condition and the
ability to recognize it has been Simpli-
fed very materially. 1t is not a new
disease, but simply a matter of now
being able to diagnose conditions which
were formerly not understood. 1t &C.
ours most frequently in cattle, sheep
and hogs. In Tennessee, at this time,
its occurrence in cattle is most impor-
tant according to DR.. Jacob.
1t seems that the germ is prevalent
in the soil of many localities which
under certain conditions becomes dan
gerous and will readily produce the
disease. Furthermore when once the
animal develops the disease the vari-
Gus body tissues and excretions may
carry the germ, consequently, the dis
tribution of the carcass, blood, bowel
excretions, etc. may be the means OF
spreading it, This should be kept In |
mind when measures for its control |
arc undertaken. While the various |
species of animals are susceptible, it |
does not appear to spread directly |
from one species to another. Conse- |
quently, If the disease were to appear
on the farm only among cattle, it would
not be essential to administer protec-
tive treatment to the sheep or hogs.
Attic the disease is contagious, il
varies considerably in its virulence and
affects most readily those animals of
the herd or flock which are in the most
thrifty condition, resembling in this
respect the frequent fatal examinations
of Influenza and its complications, in
strong, robust people during the rather
recent epidemics.
SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE
The symptoms of Hemorrhagic Sep
ticernia begin to appear within a short
time after the animals becomes in
fected, which is seldom later than two
lays and often within twenV-fsur

hours. The infection usually occurs
| thru the digestive tract, but this may
| also occur thru wounds. Under farm
| conditions the former is unquestion-
| ably the most important channel.
The disease is usually indicated in
its early stages by a marked elevation
Of temperature, the animal being in a
feveRsh condition, but the high tenn
perature is not constant, for II Ia not
uncommon to find animals badly af-
fected with the temperature practically
normal, especially If the disease per-
sists for several days. There is loss
of appetite, rumination stops and a
partial or complete falling off in the
milk secretion. In any form there is a
rapid loss of flesh accompanied by ex-
IRENE weakness, with staggering from
side to side when made to move about
The disease may run very short

OF several days or week and then die,

to be the most fatal
In sheep the lambs, especially at
about weaving time, seem to be the
most susceptible and may show symp-
toms SIMILAR to those described for
cattle, The more prolonged cases
however are usually found in older
sheep. In swine the disease has made
its appearance in this State, princi-
pally in the lung form, either as an
independent disease or as complica-
ton of Hog Cholera. 1t is also re--
ferred to in hogs as Swine Plague and

METHODS OF TREATMENT

The treatment of the affected ami
mails with medicinal agents Is of little
or no value and Is usually not attempt
ed. When the disease appears the sick
cattle should be isolated and IL an ami
NAL dies the carcass should be de-
stroyed by burning. The building or
parts of them which were occupied by
the infected animals should be cleaned
and disinfected. All the animals should
be vaccinated as soon as possible with
Hemorrhagic Septicemia vaccine. This
should also be given to the sick cattle
but repeated in them two or three
times at intervals of four or five days.
In extremely virulent outbreaks 1t is
sometimes necessary to revaccinate
the entire herd In two or three weeks.
1t should be remembered that vaccina-
ton is primarily preventative instead
OF a curative and results may be ex-
pected accordingly. Experience in
vaccinating sheep has been satisfac-
tory.
Hemorrhagic Septicemia as an indie
pendent disease, is not difficult to con-
troll, but it will require vigilance on
the part Of the owner or attendant so
that proper methods for protection
may be applied as early as possible.
