500 steers into a small pen and start
poking concentrated feed into them. It's
quite a change from grazing on grass
in the wide open spaces.
Cattle in feedlots have disease prob
lens that are quite characteristic of
this type of operation. Along with
declining market, these diseases can
make the business of feeding cattle
more or less gamble. Instances can
be cited where a disease in the feedlot
has resulted in the operator losing his
shirt.
But while diseases can occur they are
by no means inevitable. The good man.
ager can do much to prevent their &C.
currence and prompt attention can, in
most cases, prevent serious loss.
Here are some of the diseases of
feedlot cattle that have been observed
in Montana feedlots. with suggestions
as to their prevention and cure:
Hemorrhagic Septicemia
Hemorrhagic septicemia usually oc-
ours at the time, or shortly after, the
cattle are received in the feedlot. Once
in a while it will occur in cattle that
have been on feed for some time, espe-
cially if sick cattle are added to the
pen.
Most feeding periods start rather late
in the fall, the season for this disease.
The feeder cattle are often Shuttled
from the ranch, to truck, to a rail
road car, through stockyard, another
truck, and finally the feedlot 1t is not
unusual for all of this to happen in a
blizzard or other changeable weather.
With all of this going on the resist
ance in the cattle is lowered. When the
animals resistance is lowered bacte-
ria, Pasteurella multocida, is given an
opportunity to do its worst and the cat
tie come down with the pneumonia type
of hemorrhagic septicemia. The feedlot
operator starts taking losses before he
even gets started feeding.
Beware of those cattle showing a
temperature rise, rapid breathing,
running noses, depressed attitude and
0ff-feed. Veterinarians get excellent
results treating these sick animals with
antiserum, antibiotics and sulfona
mides, providing treatment is started
early. If treatment is delayed unit
the lungs have become consolidated
there will be few recoveries. Thost
with consolidated lungs that do recove
just won't gain no matter how vol
feed them. Again. treat them properl,
and promptly.
Vaccination, Proper Care
Hemorrhagic septicemia can be pref
ty well prevented if the cattle hav
been vaccinated with either bacteri
about 10 days prior to shipping, selling
handling, etc., or the hemorrhagic ser
ticemia antiserum that gives an imme
diate passive immunity.
Cattle feeders tell me that the car
the cattle receive upon arrival has
lot to do with the prevention of thi
disease. IF the cattle have had
rough trip or have been exposed to di
eased cattle, they should be placed
clean. dry, protected pens for about !
days and fed good quality hay. TIL
gives them time to get rested and a.
quainted before the feeding starts.

The cause Of foot rot is not definite
" known, so we cannot be too sure of
the methods of prevention. If the feed
lots are kept clean, dry and well
drained the incidence of this pesky dis
ease is reduced. If the animals have
to pass through a gate every day, a
trough constructed of 2x4's about 10
feet long is placed at the gate. This
trough is filled with a powder contain
ing 100 pounds of lime to which 5
pounds of copper sulfate has been add
ed. If there isn't gate handy, it has
been found that placing 200 to 400
pounds of this powder around salt ticks
works quite well. People that have
used this powder report that the num-
Der of cases of foot rot has been cut
down.
Lumpy Jaw and Wooden Tongue
The animal affected with wooden
tongue loses weight rapidly because it
cannot eat. Prompt treatment corrects
the condition within two or three days,
thus cutting weight loss to minimum.
The main symptoms are slightly pro-
truding tongue and a swelling between
the jaw bones. The animal cannot chew
and it drools. Upon examination the
tongue is found to be swollen and hard.
Lurnpy jaw usually starts as slight
lump on either jaw. 1t gets larger.
breaks and discharges a. thick puS.
These animals can be cured readily
if treated before the lump is bigger
than the cows head.
Animals affected with either of these
conditions should not be put in the feed
lot until completely cured. If the disease
appears in the feedlot remove them i'm
mediately. A discharging lump can
contaminate a lot of feed thereby eX-
posing more cattle to the infection.
Surgical treatment with proper medical
applications in the hands of your vet
erinarian assures the animal prompt re-
covery.
UrethraI Calculi
'sWater Belly caused by a stone OBJ
structing the urethra resulting in rup-
ture of the bladder is another disease
that puts bit of a gamble in feeding
steers. Numerous theories have been
advanced as to the cause of the forma-
ton of these "stones." So far none has
been definitely proven.
1t has been shown that the number of
cases of water belly" can be mate
rally reduced by supplementing ade-
quate amounts of vitamin A in the ra-
ton of feedlot steers.
Close and continuous observations of
steers will detect about all the cases of
water belly before the bladder rup-
lures. AS the ''Stone" starts down the
urethra it causes considerable pain as
evidenced by the steer wringing its tail
stamping with its hind feet, and kick.
ing at its belly.
Attempts to urinate are frequent The
steer will stretch out. The anus moves
back and forth. After the bladder rup
lures the abdomen will distend as i
fills with urine Oftentimes the ''stone'
will perforate the urethra, permitting
the urine to escape under the skin OF
the lower portion of the abdomen ant

The District area draws a

They are Jim Owen, second

The last two played at Bulls,

reached a peak of offensive per-
fection. The comment of every
coach on Jim Tatum's staff
boiled down to a simple state
ment--they'd never seen one
team do SO many things right
in one afternoon.
To those who expected sour

Maryland in defeat. He talked
with Tatum in midfield, in the

Missouri Passes Rebound.
| Faurot, like most others,
realized Maryland did not pass
after the second play of the
second half. that the Terps' third
and fourth teams played the
entire fourth period, and that
the score was partially due to
Missouri's insistance on passing.
It was a grand farewell to

appearance - and particularly
something to remember for Full
back Dick Bielski, Center John
Irvine and Halfback Ronnie WAL

SO yards, scored twice, was a

and added four extra points.
Irvine's blocking paved Bielski's
path. He blocked a punt and
his defensive play was superb,

It was such a wonderful day
for Maryland that Dick Burgee,

wasn't supposed to have the ball.

Garda. 6-foot-1, 160-pound end.
Garda, who "likes to catch
passes" was on the receiving
end of two tosses for touch
downs yesterday as George
Washington defeated Washing
ton-Lee. 27-14, in the Goth an
nual Old Oaken Bucket series
witnessed by $4,000 fans in the
CIV stadium.
Along with Mike Agee. q
Junior and second-string quar-
terback, Garda will be the main
stay that Coach Jim Ford viii
build around next year.
Garda, a native of Chicago, is
of French Italian parentage. His
father is q marketing specialist
with the Agriculture Depart
ment. This is his first season in
football, but he plans to add
basketball and the low and high
hurdles in track to his athletic
endeavorS.
Pass Combination Clicks.
The Agee-to- Garda combina-
ton clicked shortly before the
half ended to climax q 52-yard
drive. The Presidents scored
after II plays with Agee tossing
to Garda in the end zone from
4 yards out.
Previously, the Alexandria
team scored once in the first
quarter on a .6-yard pass from
Butch barley to Mike Gibbons
and early in the second period
following an interception by
Agee with Dave Beach going
through the middle from 9 yards
out.
Washington Lee. which played
q sluggish first half to trail, 300,
came to life in the next two
quarters but couldn't overcome
the three touchdown deficit.
Halfback John Meroney, who
was the outstanding player for
the Generals both on offense and
defense. started the second half
by running back the kickoff 81
yards for a touchdown. He
streaked up the opposite sideline,
broke into the clear on his own
40 and outdistanced his pursuers
aided by a block by Center War
rem Beatty on the 20.
Meroney scored again in the
final period from the 3 to end a
46-yard march and also the scor-
ing for the Arlington eleven.
Garda Adds Insurance I'd.
The Presidents final and in
surance touchdown belonged
prettysmuch to Garda. On their
own 35 and third down, barley
heaved a pass down the middle
to Garda who made an over-the-
shoulder, finger-tip catch and
raced to wills 20 before being
caught from behind. -Four plays
later, barley caught Garda in
the end zone with a pass from
the 5 to end the scoring for the
day.
It was the eighth straight VIC
tory in the series for George
Washington, although last years
win was thrown out because of
the use of an ineligible player
not discovered until six weeks
after the game. The series now
stands 9-8 in favor of CIV, with
