Farmers Warned
Of Sleeping Sickness
Horses Threatened In This Com
munity-Explain Symptoms
OF Disease

Farmers of the county are urged
through the county agents office,
st. Cloud, to be on the lookout for
the appearance of infectious equine
encephalomeylitis in horses, known
in common English as sleeping
sickness. In midsummer and fall
the presence of insects in the air
is considered as being more or less
the cause of the disease being
from farm to farm. In view Of the
fact that the horse population on
most farms is already down to
limited number and that the NOR
tality rate is quite high with sleep
ing sickness, farm folk who are
slightly suspicious that they may
have disease among their horses
are urged to get in touch with a
qualified veterinarian at the earl
lest opportunity.
symptoms Of the disease vary a
great deal yet few common ones
might be noted. In nearly all cases
a yellowish discoloration of the
membranes Of the eyes, grinding
of the teeth, yawning, staggering
gait, and sleepiness are noticeable
at some time during the course of
the disease. While not constantly
present such disturbances as inab-
ility to swallow, paralysis of the
tongue, discharge from the nose,
paralysis of the tail and possible
disturbances of vision are common.
So far veterinarians have used
both the serums and vaccines in
the treatment Of the disease. From
the farmers standpoint the pre-
vention and study of the means of
transmission are more important
than anything else. Since insects
like mosquitoes are given the most
credit for the transmission of the
disease it is well to keep horses in
side when not working as much as
possible. Once the disease has bro
ken out on farm it might be well
to provide screened quarters for
the remaining horses that are still
free from it.
