II JERSEY COWS
DIE OF MAD ITCH
DISEASE BREAKS OUT.IN THE
HERD OF M. H. METCALF.
STAGNANT WATER CAUSE.

CAMILLA, Ga.-Mr. NJ H. Met
cali. prominent live stock man of this
place has had the misfortune to lose
about a dozen head OF fine Jersey
heifers from a disease known to
science as hemorrhagic septicemia
and commonly known as rubbing
disease" or mad itch"
The epidemic started in herd OF
about sixty-fve head of Jersey heifers
and milk cows which Mr.. Metcalf has
been keeping in pasture on his farm
just south of town. The land is of a
rich, mucky character, and there are
several stagnant pools of water re-
sulting from the recent rains. 1t is
said that this character of soil around
such ponds produces sort of poison
Gus growth of vegetation which caus-
es this disease in cattle. The symp
toms are usually an intense irritation
of the skin, causing the cattle to rub
themselves raw and to act in a way
usually described as mad"
AS soon as the disease was noticed
among Mr. Metcalf's cattle, DR.. B. E.
Carlisle, local veterinarian, was called
and promptly diagnosed the trouble.
Ten of the cows were sick at that
time and DR.. Carlisle pronounced
these hopeless and gave his attention
to those that had not developed the
disease. 1t is said that there is no
known cure for the disease, but a
serum has been discovered which will
prevent it, and this is given very much
like hog cholera serum. The treat
ment is effective, however, for only
about one wear
Several other stock owners in. this
county have lost cattle from the same
disease lately, it is reported, and did
not know what it was or how to treat
it until the outbreak on Mr.. Metcalf's

Discussions.

Of all those connected with the
widespread activities Of college
athletics--the players. the coaches.
the faculty, members Of committees.
the undergraduates, the boosting
alumni, and the critics-7the most
sensible OF the whole lot are the
players.
The players are in the classroom
every day and are out on the grid
iron at hard work for couple Of
hours b day. They keep up to
the mark in their classes and they
keep up to the mark on the foot
ball field. They are so busy play
ing the game and studying that
they have no time for endless
discussions about the numerous
alleged wrongs OF college sport.
When the big game is over in
late November the player is one
OF the first back in the classroom.
For him the season is over and is
closed book. All the others keep
on talking about 1t ali winter.

Then followed one Of basehalpa

The Giants claimed that they had

There was q long discussion -

players all thought 50 and they

Their selection was Pfeister, who
