all be slaughtered at the market,
none of them will be used as stock

On July first the representatives
of nine states met at Reno. Nevada,
and formed an association called
The Western States Livestock SAM
tary Association. Fourteen states
we're included in the association and
they formed for the purpose of for
warding the interests of the live
stock men in the western states and
to assemble the knowledge of the
various members on the foot and
mouth disease.
DIR. French gave some very inter-
esting information on the history
OF the disease. Several previous out
breaks have occurred in the United
States. the first one being In 1870.
They have occurred at intervals OF
between six and ten years since
that time. The worst outbreak was
in 1914 when II sperad to % states
and took nine million dollars to
iEht It. This outbreak Yves osst
noticed In Niles. Mich. but 1t war
only after q number of animals had
been sent to Chicago. Because Chi
cSgo h . stocker center and the
livestock had been sent out In all
directions, the disease was badly
scattered among the livestock In the
other states.
Every outbreak of tho disease Il
caused from the germs Of some other
outbreak. The disease has existed In
the old countries for centuries and
in France alone there II an annual
loss of 100000 900. They make NO
attempt in the European countries
to stamp out the disease by killing
OF the animals. they merely let 1t
run its curse In one herd and try
to keep It out Of the other herds.
Gully three to ave per cent OF the
animals that have the disease die
from tho infection. however, 1t leaves
most Of them cnpples.
IL 10 believed the last outbreak
In California was caused from feed
iAg garbage from . OF the foreign
shtps to pigs.
