WHAT ANTHRAX IS
AND HOW It WORKS

Lyman r. Vawtter, d. V. NJ, path
ologist of the state board of stock
commissioners and state veterinary
control service, has kindly prepared
for the Reno Journal the following
article on the outbreak of anthrax in
a part OF the state. which is attracting
the attention of livestock men
"On July 26 the state veterinary au-
thorities were first informed Of
deaths among horses, cattle and
swine around Dunphy, New. Immedi-
ately field investigations showed the
cause to be anthrax, a highly fatal
disease of all farm animals. A couple
of days later 1t was reported at Ar
genta, some miles lower down the
river where its presence wes ushcrcd
in by sudden and mysterious deaths
among horses In the hay fields and
a small group of dairy cows. Steps
were Immediately taken by the field
veterinarians of the state board of
stock commissioners and the state
veterinary control service. under the
direction of the state quarantine Of
ficer, to suppress the disease and con-
troll its ravages.
"The first survey of conditions indi-
Gated that the disease has so far only
spread along the river from Dunphy
to Argenta. but within the next week
cattle commenced dying In the imme-
diate vicinity of Battle Mountain from
the same cause. The newly invaded
area was promptly organized for vac
cination and carcass cremation, be-
cause this procedure is the only avail
able means for checking its further
extension. In spite of all efforts, 1t is
feared that the disease may not be as
effectually controlled as the men IN
charge hope, because the infection Is
right upon the banks of the river, and
the only available water supply for
cattle of the ranches is the river and
the bitches leading from it. In addi-
ton there is absolute proof that the
biting and blood-sucking flies are re-
sponsible for much of its transmission
from sick and dead animals to others
pasturing in the same locality. This
method of transmission Is very appar-
ent on the horses used for haying
Day after day healthy horses return
at noon with slight evidences of fly
bites, which in six to twelve hours
swell as large or larger than a mans
head. The majority of such locally
infected horses recover with serum
treatment, if given promptly; others,
in spite of treatment. continue to
swell around the site of fy-bite infec-
tion and die in two or three days. The

put into service Immediately.
The section between Elko and Ger
ZACH will be completed within the

Gerlach and Salt Lake City, when
completed, will represent an expedi-
ture of $4,000.
This new system will enable en-
