BOTULIsM
(By George r. White State Veterin
arian)

(By George r. White State Veterin-
arian.
BOtulism is an acute infectious dis
ease Of animals produced BIZ the in
digestion of feed, upon which botul-
mus bacilli have grown and develop
ed. Botulism is also popularity al
luded to as forage poison, silage
poison, mould poison, cryptogamic
poison, blind staggers, etc.
Botulism frequently occurs in the
human family as result of eating
meat. especially sausage, also canned
fish, vegetables and fruits contami-
mated with the botulinus bacillus. OF
course, such contamination OF canned
products is always suggestive Of
faulty methods of sterilization at the
time Of processing. Most readers of
this article will readily recall only a
few years ago quite an extensive out
break Of human botuhsm occurred
in different parts Of the United
States as a result Of eating a certain
brand of canned ripe olives. Several
of the affected persons died in spite
Of heroic efforts Of our best ply
sicians to save them.
Horses and mules are the most
susceptible animals to this disease.
Chickens and turkeys contract it
readily. Cattle, swine, sheep and
goats are, for some unexplained
reason, only slightly susceptible.
When once contracted the disease
runs a rapid course and the termina-
ton is usually fatal Oftentimes a
large number of animals in the same
barn are simultaneously attacked, re-
sulting in tremendous monitary
losses.
Since the causative agent is known
to be the botulinus bacillus, and the
DEVELOPMENT of this bacillus closely
related to mould and decomposition,
then it is logical to conclude that all
reasonable and practicable safe
guards should be taken in the prep
aratlon Of grain and forage as feed
for livestock.
Under certain climatic and tenn
nerature conditions the botulinus
bacillus grows prolifically on corn
stalks in the field, corn in the crib,
ensilage in the silo and hay in the
NOW.
1t is now a well established fact
that ensilage is an excellent culture
media for this bacillus. While a
mouldy or decomposed condition of
feed is suggestive of danger, still it
is by no means positive proof that the
feed is infected with the botulinus
bacillus
AS concrete evidence of this, we
have as an example the mould or mil
dew now prevailing throughout the
lenoth and breadth of Tennessee on
the leaves of red clover growing in
the fields.
While this whitish deposit is a
form Of well-developed mould. still
we positively know that it is harm
less to livestock when fed to them.
We are also amply justified in. CON
GLIDING that the, reason this whitish
mould is harmless is because it is
not associated with the Growth and
DEVELOPMENT of the botulinus bacil-
lus. On the other hand, being Wis
ibly free from mould and decompo-
sition, is not conclusive evidence
that feed stuff is free from botulinus
bacillus infection. There is no
method available to the average
livestock owner and feeder whereby
he may by observing the physical ap-
pearance of feed know whether any
particular batch is or is not infected
with growth of mould in which the
botulinus bacillus is present. The

rain.
The committee in charge of
Americas defense of the Davis Cup
to whose orders both w. T. Ti!dcn,

thrOug hChampiOnS, arc subject as
members of the United States team,
authorized the players to remain here
indefinitely for the championship.
The Australian player, Gerald l.. Fat

other finalsts, however, indicated
that with need for practice at Forest
Hills, y. v, where the Davis Cup
matches arc due to begin Friday,
they might feel called upon to de-
fault if postponement developed again
tomorrow. The Davis Cup play is
the prime object of their trip around
the world and all other considcra tions

Gloucester Fishermen
Prepare For Fall Races

Gloucester, Mass, Aug. 2S-F'ive
fishing schooncrs are seeking the
honor of representing Yankee fisher
mon in the race for the International
The elimination races will be sailed
October l., IS and II off Eastern
Point
The vessels which will fight it out
for the responsibility of trying to re-
ean the trophy won last year by the
Halifax fishermen Bluerose are ex-
pcctod to be Mayfiowcr. Elizabeth
Howard, Yankee, Henry Ford and l..
\. DuntOn.
Puritan, the pride of Gloucester.
on which many decp-sea fisherman
pinned his faith in the great race this
fall, lies piled up on the treacherous
shore of Sable Island. Along the wa
ter front the old sea dogs say that
the reason for Puritans wreck last
winter was that she developed a
speed far greater than those on boa rd
realized and fetched up on Sable Is
| land long before she was supposed to
be near it.
Now Gloucester folk are turning to
/ Henry Ford. which rar aground on
Essex Beach when she was being
, launched in April ana was seriously
damaged. She was in port recently
with a large cargo Of salt cod and
showed no structural defect as a re-
suit of her early mishap. But the
fishcrfolll wish that Henry Ford were
a little longer and openly admit that
the other Gloucester entrant, Eliza
beth Howard. is too heavy.
From Gloucester point of view
the most profitable fisherman is one
measuring between 30 and 105 feet
at the watcrline. For this reason
they frowncd upon Mayfowcr and
Eluonose, which measure Ill feet at
tho Waterline.
The principal criticism of Mayflow-
cr barred from the race last year,
was that those who built and owned
her were not interested in the fishing
industry and that her cost was almost
SEQ. .000-twice as much as the avera sc
cost of Gloucester fisherman. Her
carrying capacity also was less than
the average fisherman 1t is expcc-
ted. however, that the International
Committee will approve MayflOwer's
entry. as she has made a number of
fishing trips. Although her profits
have not been as large as in the case
of some of the other vessels. owing
to her high first cost, she has been
fairly profitable to her owners.
Tho recent races of the New York
Yacht Club off Marblehcad attracted
great interest among Gloucester fish
ermcn who attended in large numbers
to get pointers for their races two
months hence.
While the dccp-sca fishermen are
unsurpassed in the art of getting the
most ont of their vessels under lower
sails or in making runs in from the
banks, they arc not quite so versatile
as tho amateurs in tho game Of hit
ting the line a few seconds after the
start.
In tho races Of the last two wears
they have had the benefit of the start
ing and light sail handling of num-
Der of Marblehcad amateurs This
year the rules permit only actual
fishermen on the after deck. although
there is provision for one observer.
