per cent of its total receipts, for
which the packing houses paid the
farmers and feeders of the state ap
proximately $67,000,000.00.
In addition, a large percentage of
South Omaha s receipts originated In
the states of Colorado, Iowa, Idaho,
Montana, Missouri, Nevada, Oregon,

South Omaha, b packing Industry
represents fifty per cent of Nebras
ka's total manufacturing, and equali
in value half the annual gold output
of the United Slates and Alaska.
Its live stock and packing industry
is Nebraska's greatest commercial
asset.
South Omaha has experienced re
markable growth as a cattle market,
whereas Chicago and Kansas City are
handling practically the same num
ber of cattle annually they did twen
ty years ago. South Omaha has
doubled in its receipts and continues
to grow despite a shortage in the
United States of nearly 15.000,000
head as compared with the year
1907. and a considerable part of this
shortage has been In the western
states, from which South Omaha re
ceives a large share of its receipts.
E. BUCKINGHAM
This steady growth In cattle receipts
at South Omaha Is attributed, as In
i h cane of sheeD. to unexcelled facil-
Hies offered the natrons of this mar-
ket, together with the higher prices
na rnmnared with other markets.
In th marketing of live stock, as
In other lines of the commercial
world, modern methods and facilities
must be afforded natrons of public
markets, and to meet these require
ments, the South Omaha market has,
among other important improve
ments, completed and now In use:
A new series of concrete unloading
chutes costing $75,000.00
Reinforced concrete Incineration
Plant for consuming manures and
rubbish of the yards, $35,000.00
A splendid water system, with an
ample supply of pure, cool water, to
meet the needs of the yards for years
to come, costing $265,000.00
To accommodate the growing
needs of the horse market, there has
Just been completed the finest, most
modern and complete horse barn ev
er erected at any live stock market.
The building covers a little over two
acres of ground and its construction
of concrete, brick and steel makes It
absolutely fireproof In every partic -
f ' . -'
ular. This addition to the vast iinnerio me comparatively isoiai
number of improvements being made ed position of the United States has

PLAGUE IS SUBSIDING
End of the Foot and Mouth Cam
palgn Believed to be In Sight
Danger from Infection
The announcement that on April
1, for the first time since the appear
ance of the disease last October,
there were no animals known to be
affected with the foot-and-mouth dis
ease In the United States, Is believed
to Indicate that the end of the long
campaign Is In sight. Additional
cases are expected from time to time
In fact two new herds were report
ed from Illinois the morning after
the announcement was made but
such cases are regarded as more or
less sporadic and if promptly report
ed can be dealt with before the con
tagion has had an opportunity to
spread widely.
Under the best circumstances,
however, It will be some time yet be
fore all danger of a new outbreak Is
over, in sections where the disease
has been prevalent the contagion is
likely to linger In manure, hay, feeds
of various kinds, and on the ground
itself. Even after premises where
the disease has existed have been
thoroughly disinfected It Is not con
sidered wise to Introduce new stock
until at least 60 days have passed.
In the opinion of the authorities.
however, the most essential thing
now la that there should be no con
cealed sources of Infection. For the
information of the public and the
stock owners In particular the De
partment of Agriculture Is Issuing a
revision of Its former publications
on the pestilence and this pamphlet,
known as Farmers Bulletin 660,
"Foot-and-Mouth Dl-ease," will be
sent free on application. The bulle
tin contains among other things a
brief description of the symptoms of
the disease, in particular the charac
teristic vesicles which make their ap
pearance tn the mouth and about the
feet. Although these vesicles are
peculiar to the foot-and-mouth dis
ease they soon become ruptured and
contaminated by other microorgan
isms to such an extent that it la fre
quently difficult to ascertain their
original character. There are, more
over, two other diseases common In
live stock, known as necrotic stomat
itis and mycotic stomatitis which ef
fect the mouth in a way somewhat
similar to the foot-and-mouth dis
ease. For this reason farmers who
notice anything suspicious about
their stock should report the matter
at once and refrain from taking
chances which may prove disastrous
not only to themselves but to the
whole country
The history of the past six months,
however, has done much to educate
the public to the Importance of deal
ing promptly with the disease. The
first federal quarantine was declared
on October 19, 1914, and since that
time more than 140,000 animals
have become Infected and In conse
quence have been slaughtered. This
loss has been divided very unequally
among the 21 states and the District
of Columbia, which have been affect
ed. Dy far the greatest losses have
been experienced in those states in
which there was a widespread belief
that the policy of Immediate slaugh
ter of all exposed animals and rigid
quarantining of all Infected districts
was unnecessarily costly and trouble
some.
Experience, however, has confirm
ed the official view that only in this
way can the disease ever be eradicat
ed. In certain countries In Europe,
notably In Germany, the pestilence
has gained such a foothold that the
slaughter of exposed animals ran not
be resorted to and In consequence
the widespread prevalence of the
pestilence is a perpetual and ex
hausting drain upon the farmers re
sources. In 1811, for example, it
was estimated that in Germany there
were d.aoo.aos came, i,oi,i
sheep, i.bbb.sil nogs, ana
goats suffering from the disease
since me loiai numoer oi men am-
nials in the United fatates is between
tnree ana lour times mat in uer
many tne loss to tne country wouiu
be proportionately greater if the dls-
ease were ever to oerome perman-
ently established here.
Because of the comparatively low
death rate the policy of quarantining
instead of slaughtering exposed ani
inula has been advocated at various
times, and there Is no doubt that un
der certain very favorable conditions
this may produce satisfactory re
suits. The disease is so contagious,
however, and It may be communlcat
ed through so many different chan
nels, that any affected animal is a
constant menace to the neighbor
hood. Moreover, the disappearance
of all outward symptoms and the ap
parent return to health Is by no
means a guaranty either that the an
imal may not spread the infection.

1902 and 1908 were caused by the
Importation of vaccine from Japan,
which had in some way become con
tamlnated with the Infection. This
avenue Is also believed to have been
closed by legislation and administra
tive regulations.
The origin of the present out
break, which Is by far the most serl
ous that the country has ever expert
need. Is still unknown. It has been
ascertained, however, that the germ
found Its way into southern Michigan
and that skimmed milk from Infect
ed cows was returned by a creamery
to be fed to bogs. The bogs In turn
v
were stricken and a shlpemnt pai
ing through Chicago Infected tll
pens In the stockyards. Other shift v,
ments of livestock passing throu&A "
these pens carried the disease te '
states as far apart as Washington,
and Massachusetts. The South ant t
Southwest escaped because practical'
ly the whole movement of stock wis '
away from and not Into these sec
tions. After the discovery of the exist
ence of the disease the first effort oft
the part of the authorities was t
trace all the shipments from Chic
go, round up and slaughter the
posed stock, and quarantine the
tiona Into which they had been ta
en. These measures appeared t
check effectually the spread of (ky
disease, but they Inevitably caused
much disturbance and Indirect lot
to farmers and stockmen. As sooa
as the conditions appeared to war
rant It, therefore, a more general
movement of livestock ias permit
ted. It was found, however, that la
certain Instances shipments of stock
from sections where the disease had
been prevalent spread the contagion
once more and It became necessary
to Institute fresh quarantines tn a)
number of sections. Opposition ttf
the policy of Immediate slaughter al
so developed In some states, hinder
Ing and delaying the work of killing
the exposed animals. This opposl
tlon, however, has now disappeared
with the result that the disease If
more thoroughly under control that
at any previous time.
