Foot and Mouth Disease Described
BY l.. Il. Cline
Live stock owners IN the bay re
gion of California are today facing
one of the most serious disease out
breaks which has ever come to this
western country. The rapidity of
the spread of the disease is almost
beyond imagination. The means OF
spread of infection Is so varied and
the period OF incubation so short that
the disease covers a wide area be-
fore it is hardly noticed.
The disease is primarily one Of
cattle. hogs, sheep and goats. How

bay region. to handle their stock
One, of our greatest dangers of in

appearance in the mouth, and grad

the eruptions have appeared in the
mouth, there is a swelling and ten
