While the death loss is not excessive,
the mortality being comparatively low
that fact that no immunity is develop
ca by one or more attacks makes it
necessary TO destroy all animals that
come in contact with the disease.
t'oot-andmouth disease is propagat
ed by specific virus, and every out
break starts from some pre-existing
outbreak, although Investigators have
as yet been unable to isolate the spec
iflc organism causing the disease.
The present outbreak which is re-
ported to have been brought to the San
Francisco Bay district by ocean trans
ports probably from the Orient, and
originating in garbage fed to hogs at
the docks, marks the seventh outbreak
in the United States. The previous out
breaks occurred in 1870, 1880, 1884,
1902, 1908 and 1914. The losses in the
1914 epidemic cost over ten million
dollars to eradicate, while it is report
ed that the recent outbreak in Great
Britain has cost that country $15,O00,-
900.
Because Of the rapid spread Of the
contagion by means OF infected cars,
hay or other feed, all contacts are at
once destroyed, covered with air-slak-
ed lime and buried, and all premises
thoroughly disinfected. Even though
most of the animals would recover,
they would still be virus carriers for
weeks and months, and they are not
immune from other attacks
In from three to six days or even
longer after the exposure of the ami
NAL to the infection the disease makes
| its appearance. 1t is usually first in
dictated by the animal suffering a chill,
quickly followed by an invasion of
fever which may cause the tempera-
ture to rise as high as 1O6 deg. These
symptoms may be present in slight
form and escape notice.
Following this in one or two days
small vesticles or blisters about the
size Of hemp seed or peas put in an
appearance on the mucous membrane
of the mouth at the border and on the
upper surface of the tongue near the
tip, the inside Of the cheeks, or the
gums and the inner surface of the
lips, or on the margin of the dental
pad. Soon after this there is a swell
ing and a tenderness manifested in
the feet, at the coronet and between
the digits of each foot. Eruptions sim
liar to those in the mouth appear q
day or two later.
AS soon as The disease is we'll es-
tablished the animal evidences pair
when attempting 10 eat finally rceus-
ing food, and uneasi'y opens and shuts
its mouth with a cha, acteristic smack
ing sound
With the advance Of the disease, the
vesticles widen sometimes as large as
a half dollar, which burst and heal
The disease sometimes attacks the in
ternal organs before making its ap-
pearance on the external tissues, and
such cases ire very liable to prove IA
tai the animal dying Of paralysis OF
the heart or throat.
The duration Of the ordinary attack
is from ten to twenty days when re.
covery of the appetite takes place, but
the return to flow of milk in the case
of milk cows is seldom witnessed IN
til the next season. In the malignant
type it requires from three months Of
a year for the animal to recover. The
disease is more fatal in young animals
fed on infected milk, death being caus.
ed by gastroenteritis.

Strange Catches


There are strange catches. Jay
birds and sheep are often found in
fox traps. But the strangest catch I
ever heard of was up in West Moscow
November 1918, when E. l.. Flint of
East Hiram was trapping on the old
Andrews farm. His traps were wa
ter set and in the morning when he
started out he would sling tis rubber
boots over his shoulder and when he
got to the foot of Polly hill he would
put them on. Flint had been there
five days and the water was get
ting low. Friday morning he start
ed out early. going to take up his
traps, planning to return home Sat
urday morning Flint was a jolly
good fellow and when he crossed the
fields Friday morning, l could hear
mis- merry whistle, till he reached the
foot of the mountain, where he sat
down to put on his boots. Finding
something in the toe OF one he held
it up, giving 1t a vigorous shake, then
giving the toe tap with his gun,
cutting a stick and trying to twist it
out but the rubbers had long legs and
Flint said he worked as long as he
could see, for the air was hazy.
Bringing the rubber back to the
house, he made a hook that reached
the toe of the boot and soon found
out what he had. This was the year
that Uncle Ed Collins caught the bear
and several foxes and coons. Satur-
day morning Uncle Ed came over the
mountain to find out what right Flint
had to come from Oxford County and
trap in Somerset.
Ed Blackwell and Miles Gates
thought they would jolly Uncle Ed
telling him of the fourteen foxes and
two coons Flint caught in Ave days.
Miles told him OF the strange catch
but Uncle Ed was equal to 1t, with a
warning look in his eye, he threw
down the stick he was chewing, clear
ing his throat with loud a-harn--
he says, Coming all the way down
from the White Mountains and didn't
know he had skunk in his boot leg,
anybody would know he was fool
