The word taxi" in Hebrew has
long been used to mean anv
automobile, excepting buses,
Which were "autobooses," and
trucks, which were autos. Re-
Gently, however, by decree of the
committee on Language, the
word "monit," taken from the
word meaning ito count, has
been applied to actual taxis. I'm
aglne the chagrin of the elderly
gentleman on Ben Yehuda Street
who hailed cab after cab with his
cane and the word taxi" until
finally an empty vehicle slowed
down long enough for the driver
to shout in Hebrew, "I'm not a
taxi, I'm a mont"
Whereupon he continued to
drive on with an air of civic rec

Ever eat a cactus? It's not so
difficult. First you have to get
the little ball of prickly fruit off
the cactus plant. The best way
IS to nail tin can to a pole, and
twist the fruit up and off. After
that you want to rub the fruit
against the ground, holding it
gingerly at both ends with hold
erS as you would a corn-on-the-
cob. That gets the stickers off.
and then don't trust yourself to
have them all off, but peel the
fruit, still using holders, about
a half inch deep. The remain
ing inside fruit has a taste some
thing like a cantaloupe, and
served cold, is a real delicacy.
If you'd rather drink your cac-
tus, wait until the fall, and get
the little red ones. Treat them
just as you do the others, but
boil them when they are ready,
and the resulting fruit Soup needs
nothing added to be delicious.

Veterinary Research Need Is Greatest Ever

counties in Montana were quaran-
tined by the federal government be-
cause of cattle scabies. Through the
consistent effort of the Montana
Livestock Sanitary board, psoroptic
mango or the common type of cattle
scabies, was eradicated and we have
not had a single case of psoroptic
scabies in horses or cattle for the
past 10 years or more.
We have had several small breaks
of the sarcoptic type of scabies due
to infected purebred cattle being
shipped into Montana. This is quite
common disease in purebred herds
in the middle west and by reason
of continual oiling of cattle and doll
ing them up for show purposes, the
disease is checked but not eradi-
Gated.
To the best of our knowledge and
belief this type of scabies also has
been eradicated and we do not know
of a single case in Montana.
When our prairie lands were
thrown open for settlement thou
sands of settlers brought in cattle
that were infected with tuberculosis.

was given very little consideration

north of Terry. This shipment
also had been accompanied by a
federal health certificate. but the
Livestock Sanitary board was
never notified of the importation.
There was a community dairy
herd at Terry and this became
infected. probably by people
carrying the infection on their
feet. The infection was also car
ried some so miles south of Terry
by a stockman who happened
to look at the shipment when If
was unloaded. although If was
not known to be infected at that
time. He went south on the train
to his brother-in-1aw's ranch the
same afternoon and in about five
days the disease broke out in
the brother-in-law's cattle. This
is merely mentioned to show how
easy it is to carry the infection of
foot-and-mouth disease.
All in all. we had TO destroy
and bury I.416 cattle. ii swine
and 240 sheep. There was also
one white-tailed deer reported.
We did not take a chance on def
inite1Y determining whether or
not If had foot-and-mouth dis
ease. II was simply shot and i'm
mediatelY buried in lime.
The disease was first found in
November. 1914, but had been
completely eradicated by Janu-
arY. 1915. This quick eradication
was made possible due TO the
who1ehearted cooperation upon
the part of city. county and rail-
way officials. IT was no easy task
to handle the 800 or more in
fected cattle in the yards at Glen
dive. They were loaded up in
stock cars. the cars boarded up
to prevent the escape of debris.
and the cattle hauled TO an aban-
doned gravel pit. unloaded. de-
stroYed. covered with lime and
the sides of the pits dYnamited in
to completely cover them with

low zero. which made the work

ern states. Even though Montana
had strict regulations governing the
Importation of cattle many diseased
animals slipped by. In fact, at the
height of the settlement of our
range areas, somewhere between 8
and 10 percent of the cattle imported
were t~uberculous.

culosis, spread mainly during winter
feeding months. AS is well Known.
Montana started a concerted cam
paign for the eradication of this
disease in 1913 and by constant
tuberculin testing and destruction of
reactors, the disease finally has
been practically eradicated. Last
year only one case of bovine tuber-
culosis was found in Montana.
Constant Vigilance Needed
This disease, however, will spread
and again become a dangerous fac
tor unless constant veterinary serv-
ice is rendered to prevent its intro
duction and to quickly eradicate it
wherever it may make its appear
ance. The prevention and control of
any communicable disease requires
the application of constant and eff
ficient veterinary service. You can
not simply control a disease and
then sit idly by and not practice
follow-up work.
Most of the diseases that played
havoc with our cattle and sheep
years ago have been entirely Grad
icated or controlled and this applies
to the diseases against which our
sister states are particularly fear
full. This is fortunate because by
reason of livestock being free
from thnca Iicao~Ao - -o+,ro11rr
means that we have a better market
for the sale of our products.
One might gain the impression
from this short summary that there
is nothing more to do and that there
are now no new fields of disease to
control or conquer. Unfortunately
this is not the case.
Progress Brings Problems
The more we pillow up our lands
and the more we irrigate the better
become the soil conditions for bac-
terial growth and possible bacterial
evolution. We know we are finding
diseases in our livestock about
which little is known and which
apparently were not existent years
ago. 1t is unfortunate but neverthe-
less it is a fact that the more man
interferes with natures scheme of
affairs and the more he intensely
cultivates the land the greater be-
comes the animal disease problem.
Previous to 1910 we had never
observed the disease technically
known as bacillary icterohemo-
globinuria or what is commonly re-
ferred to as red water disease. This
is a disease caused by a spore-form-
ing organism that may live in moist
ground for many, many years. What
little research has been done on this
riers, that is, animals that are in
fected with the organism, but which
do not develop the condition until
the organism in some peculiar and
as yet unknown way becomes acti-
waited.
When the organism becomes ac-
tivated it works very quickly, and
an infected animal unless treated
with serum may die in "a hours OF
less. Fortunately the serum used fol-
it's cure is particularly effective
and, if an animal is abserved in
time and serum used, in SO percent
or more of the cases the animals life
will be saved. We also have a vac.
cine for the prevention of this dis
ease but unfortunately the vaccine

mate with sunlight is not pro-
ductive of bacterial life. Without
moisture and protection from SUM-
dinarily die out very quickly. Like
animal life, bacteria require mois-
ture. Under typical range conditions
we had very few dangerous COM
municable diseases and when they
did occur they spread slowly. Usual
ly if there was any communicable
disease present it was found around
water holes and marshy lands and
common watering places.
We do not know what diseases
were present in buffalo and wild ami
NAL life before man came into Mon
tana to disturb natures balance.
That is unfortunate because if we
knew just what diseases were here
before the Introduction of domestic
animal life, it would be of great help
to us in research on many diseases
and would give us a better insight
into the evolution of disease. 1t
would be interesting to know if
blackleg was present in buffalo be-
fore the introduction of domestic
animals.
Early Cases of Blackleq
Some research workers claim that
blackleg is not a communicable dis
ease in the same sense as is tubercu-
losls or Bangs disease. Many work.
ers claim that the black1eg organism
and many other spore-forming or
ganisms, is a natural inhabitant of
moist soil and that it has to be acti-
waited after it gains entrance into
the animal body before it will pro-
duce disease. There are no reports,
of which we know of any devastat-
ing disease in wild animal life so
that we must presume that most of
u present-day communicable dis
eases were shipped into the state.
AS we have stated we do not know
whether or not the blackleg organ
ism is a native inhabitant of some
of u moist soils or whether it was
introduced by domestic cattle. We
do know, however, from early re-
ports that it caused severe loss in
early shipments of cattle. One early
report mentions that there were 49,
600 cases of blackleg the year the
report was made and that, unless
some effective means in the form of
a vaccine was discovered, blackleg
would destroy our herds of domestic
cattle. Fortunately through the eff
forts of the veterinary profession a
potent and reliable blackleg vaccine
was discovered and is now univer-
sally used throughout the western
states to prevent the ravages of this
disease that would otherwise occur,
Probably the first serious disease
that was brought into Montana was
sheep scabies. Many years ago this
disease played havoc with our sheep
flocks. However, under the very
able direction of the late DIR. M. E
Knowles and the Montana board Of
sheep commissioners, the disease
was e~radicated. We have had several
shipments of scabby sheep imported
into the state since the disease was
first eradicated, but fortunately they
were caught early and the condition
eliminated. We have not had a cas-
of sheep scabies in Montana for the
pact 90 wars

NKONTANA had an outbreak
Ivl of foot-and-mouth disease
in 1914. 1t was brought in by one
shipment of imported cattle con-
tanning some 857 head. We were
fortunate in catching this ship
ment. II was accompanied by a
federal health certificate. but
Montana was officially
notified of the shipment by the
federal government.
Through private sources. we
learned that This shipment had
been diverted to Montana. but by
the time we received this infor-
nation the trainload of cattle was
at Miles City. Officials of the
railroad were Immediately con
tacted and the danger of this ship
ment explained. They finally
agreed. even though we did not
know the shipment was actually
infected. to turn the train around
at Miles City and run it back TO
Glendive where there was feed
and wafer in the railroad yards.
We are under an everlasting
debt TO the railroad officials for
this action. They in the
clear-the shipment had a fed
eral health certificate. but if
these cattle had been carried TO
their destination. which was
Rosebud. and other points as far
west as the Shields river coun-
try. there is no telling what the
results would have been.
