VETERINARY HINTS
FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Written Expressly for The Sun
by c. w. Scott, nj. d. v. s.
Forest Service Flagstaff

CAUSE - Foot and mouth disease,
has not as yet, permanently estab-
lished itself in the United States. 1t
is common to cattle, but rarely infects
the horse, and only occurs on the feet
of swine and sheep.
The cause of this disease is now
conceded to be virus of a most
specific nature. The virus is found in
the vesicles (blisters) and in the blood
during the febrile stage. As the dis
ease progresses its virulency de-
creases. One attack will produce i'm
munity for only ten or twelve months.
The period of incubation is from 2 to
8 days.
SYMPTOMS - Foot and mouth
disease manifests itself in an acute,
highly contagious fever, character
lied by vesicles (blisters) forming in
the skin and mucous membranes.
These blisters appear in the mouth,
around the coronets of the feet, be-
tween the toes, and on the teats and
udder. The high fever lasts only
until the blisters appear. These bis
tiers vary in size, some being quite
small, while others are as large as
walnuts. As these blisters break open
they leave rough grayish surface.
The animal suffers from loss Of appe-
tite and usually holds its mouth
closed.
The saliva drips and a smacking
noise is made when the mouth is
opened or closed. The tongue is very
sore. The foot LESSONS cause lameness
and the fetlocks knucke. The strict
est precaution should be used in deal
ing with this disease as it spreads
with great rapidity on account Of its
being so highly contagious.
1t is spread by animals eating food
or drinking water which has been
contaminated with the discharge from
the blisters or from the saliva of sick
animals.
The contagion may be found in the
vesicles on the mouth, feet and nd
der and in the milk, also in the secre-
tions and excretions; therefore too
much emphasis cannot be placed upon
the fact that all infected animals
should be Immediately disposed Of
burning the carcasses at once, and
thoroughly disinfecting all stalls, cor
rails and their entire surroundings.
IN foreign countries, where this
disease has spread, nation wide medi-
cal treatment has been resorted to-
but as yet no successful vaccines or
bacterines have been developed. Any
firm advertising such vaccine should
be given q wide berth, unless endorsed
by the department Of animal industry.
Foot and mouth disease has no hold,
as yet, upon the United States, and
if we take the necessary precautions,
can be kept out. This is disease
that can affect man as well as animals
so if you have the slightest doubt as
to any infections or contagious all
ment that has taken hold Of your
stock, promptly call competent au-
thority to make correct diagnosis.
Bear in mind that each state main
tains a laboratory and expert veterin-
rians, who will help you to prevent the
loss of your live stock through con-
tagious diseases. If an animal dies
from some unknown cause, get, in
touch with an expert and have the
animal posted.

THE FARMS AND THE RANGES
,sfsgs Edited by
Francis A. Chisholm, County Agricultural Agent
FARM BUREAU ENDORSES
EDISON POWER PROJECT

The following resolutions were
adopted by the Coconino farm bureau
at their special meeting here:
Whereas: The future development
of Coconino county, the state of Ari-
zona, and the states known as the
Colorado basin states, depends abso-
lutely upon the immediate control OF
the Colorado river, the use of its wa
tiers for irrigation, generating there
from the potential three and one-halt
million horsepower of electrical ener-
9y, and the prevention of the devas-
tation which follows it's annual floods
Therefore, be it:
Resolved: That, inasmuch as the
total power consumption in Arizona is
not in itself sufficient to justify the
enormous expenditure necessary to
construct large dam to check the
tremendous flow of the river, which
each season reaches approximately
two hundred thousand cubic feet each
second, and to develop the large horse
power resources of the river, at an es-
timated cost of more than five hundred
million dollars, we welcome the offer
of an agency capable of successfully
executing, and also ready and willing
to proceed Immediately with this col
lossal work. Therefore, be it:
Resolved: That since the Southern
California Edison company has made
application to the federal power COM
mission of the United States govern
ment to develop the electrical resources
of the river which have been running
to waste for generations, to provide
for irrigation, for absolute food con-
troll and constant and even flow of
the river; and since its proposition to
make this development subject to gov
eminent regulation and to the regula-
ton of the regulatory bodies of the
states where it proposes to market
the electrical product of the river,
that its proposal be endorsed; and,
therefore, be it further;
Resolved: That the Southern Cali
fornia Edison company's complete
plans and methods of financing, en-
gineering and the construction are the
most comprehensive, practical and
logical, the quickest and safest for the
conduct Of this great work of which we
have knowledge.
Resolved: That all the interests of
the people of Arizona will be served
best by the complete development of
the Colorado river under the proposed
comprehensive plan of the Southern
California Edison company, which is
hereby endorsed, and, therefore be it;
Resolved: That we recommend to
the governor of Arizona, the state
water commissioner, the federal power
commission and the secretary Of The
interior of the United States, that IL
censes be granted to the said South
ern California Edison company to pro-
coed Immediately with the develop
ment Of the Colorado river and the
control of its waters as above set
forth.

FIRST AID HINTS

FLOATING - If bloated from
wind, give injection Of warm soapy
water and if animal shows signs Of
inflammation, give about Is drops
tincture of aconite. A short round
piece Of wood tied crosswise in the
mouth, with the animal headed up a
steep incline will also sometimes
prove beneficial.
COLO = Take one-half pint Of
lard, heat until it is quite warm, place
in bottle and use as drench.

FAMOUS TREE NEAR CAPITAL
Deed Now, Il Wa Ussd ~ q Signal
Station by Confederate eeidlsrs
Under General Early.

A dead giant OF q tree stands in
the grounds Of the United States Gen.
eral Military hospital at Washington
walter Heed hospital. The great
branches Of this tree have been sawed
on-amputated might be the better
word, hearing In mind the place where
the tree stands--so that only the trunk
and the butts Of the big branches re-
main. 1t was gaunt, dead tree when
the hospital was established. It was
q yellow poplar. and died q good many
years ago from age and neglect 1t
was stripped Of it's bark long ago, and
Its bare wood is weathered to an ashen
gray.
There Is tablet on the trunk Of
this tree which hears this legend !:
Used as q signal station by Con-
fedcrate soldiers under General Early
during the attack on Washington, July
IL and II, 1864. Also occupied by
sharpshooters."
When Gen. JubGi Early and his Con-
federate division won the battle Of
Monocucy and came down on Wishing
ton by marching 20 miles day, and
skirmishing u good part of the time,
he drew up on the afternoon Of July
IL at some distance from the north
line Of earth forts and rifle trenches
which had been constructed all around
Washington for the protection Of the
city.
The tree stood in an open field about
1000 yards In front of Fort Stevens,
on the rampant Of which President
Lincoln stood during part of the
fighting, having driven out to the fort
from his summer residence in Il cot
tage ut the Soldiers home. about two
miles nearer the city. The tree grew
in land lower than the land around it,,
but from among its branches men
could look out over the flat or gently
rolling fields that stretched away to
the parapcts and bitches Of Fort
Stevens.
When General Early's skirlnisliprs
and the skirniSh line which had been
thrown out from Fort Stevens and
from adjacent Notifications were pop
ping away at each other. q number Of
Confedcratcs climbed this tree and
continued firing on the Union skir-
mishers.
Not far away and on one OF the
busy streets OF the national capital
now called Georgia avenue, and then
the Seventh street pike, there Is a
cemetery called Battle cemetery. The
story is that q number of the men
whose bones rest there were killed by
shots fired from this tree, which Is
preserved in the grounds OF Walter
Reed hospital.

MADE FIRST METALLIC PEN
Unfortunate Frenchman, Victim OF
Courtesan's Enmity, Was the In
ventor, According to Historians.

The invention of the metallic pen
belongs to France, the first writing inn
plement of this character being used
by the famous state prisoner, La Tude.
who called down the wrath of Nine.
de Pompadour by his passionate let
ters La Tude was the natural son
of a prominent court official and was
brought up for q military career, but
in his mistaken youthful alteration he
misinterpreted the smiles of Nine. de
POmpadOur In an effort to prove his
fidelity his friends devised q harmless
toy which exploded noisily when Nine.
de Pompadour opened it-after receiv-
ing letter from La Tude warning her
Of impending danger from her enemies.
When the contents of the box were
found to be nothing more dangerous
than alum powder, La Tude was
clapped into Il dungeon, where hd
spent 80 years. In order to occupy
his time La Tude tried to write his
memoirs by means of an imprOvlsed
fishbone pen. When this broke he
begged a copper coin from the prison
priest. This he ground into the shape
of pen by rubbing it against the
cell walls. He also made the first
known ink tablets by preparing bread
crumb pellets with his own blood.
This happened about the year 174O,
according to the French researchers.
Metal pen points were not marketed,
however until nearly 60 years later.
