WARNING TO vERMoNTERs.
To Beware of Foot and Mouth Disease
in Cattle.

Word has been received by Commits
sioner of Agriculture E. s. Brigham
from the Z. S. bureau of animal indus
try of serious outbreak of foot and
mouth disease in Great Britain. The
disease appeared in 966 herds in that
country, requiring the slaughter of A.
753 animals.
I So far, the United States has es
capped invasion of this plague, but ey-
cry reasonable precaution should be
used TO safeguard against the intro
suction. 1t seems possible for the virus
TO be carried long distances in clothing
or other belongings of the immigrant
farm laborers, or in hay or straw used
in packing crockery and other goods.
Vermont cattle owners should be
careful to avoid using for bedding or
feeding hay and straw formerly used
in packing goods and if immigrant
laborers are employed, careful watch
should be kept TO see that cattle show.
no unusual symptoms.
Cattle affected with foot and mouth
disease come down with chills and fe-
yer and go off their feed. Character
istic symptoms are soldering or drool-
ing from the mouth and champing OF
the jaws. Blisters appear over the
muzzlc and gums, finally breaking and
leaving raw surface. Pustules also
appear around the hoofs and teats,
which also break soon and leave raw
sores. All cloven -hoofed animals are
susceptible to the disease. Horses are
not known TO become affected with
foot and mouth disease. A local vet
erinarian should be called promptly il
