Washington OIIIoIhW Find It Harm

Itemovinff Rrfttaictlniis
Washington. D. C. Laboratory in
vestigations completed here proved
that the ailment among cattle at
Kansas City, suspected of being foot
and mouth disease, is stomatitis, a
pn mnaratlvnlv harmloea ninlnn ..
lly cured.
- The disease, a department of ag
riculture official says, is known In
Europe and South Africa and has
been found occasionally In the Unit
ed States. It Is contagious, but an
imals affected usually recover within
eight or ten days.
"The present outbreak," the state
ment says, "Is the most extensive yet
noted In this country. The special
ists of the department therefore are
advising state livestock officials In
whose territory the disease Is found
to impose local quarantine to prevent
Us spread.
Make Similar Discovery
Chicago, 111. President Arthur O.
Leonard of the Union Stock Yards
was informed by Elchorn of the
United States bureau of animal in
dustry that the disease among sus
pected cattle is not foot and mouth
disease but stomatitis.

Springfield, 111. Orders lifting re
strictions on the shipment of cattle
from all puuttc stock .yards in Illi
nois were Issued here by Dr. O. E.

advices that cattle at Kansas City
suspected of having foot and mouth
disease were not suffering from that
infection. Stockers and feeders held
In yards at Chicago and elsewhere
may now be released, Dr. Dyson said.
St. Joe Action Proml.ned
St. Joseph, Mo. Quarantine on
the shipments of live stock from the
local stock yards were lifted the first
of the weekj when it was learned that
a recently discovered cattle ailment
is not the foot and mouth disease. In
preparation for the resumption of
normal trading a large force were
put to work disinfecting the yards.
Say. Zero Cold Cause
An Ellsworth special to the state
press last week had the following to
say regarding the temporary embar
go placed on cattle from Nebraska:
The temporary embargo placed by
the St. Joseph and Kansas City
yards, as well as by the state of Colo
rado, against Nebraska cattle be
cause of the apparent evidence of
the hoof-and-mouth disease has cre
ated quite a furore among the cat
tlemen of this section because they
regard It unfair to the 'Immediate
prospects of the cattle Industry. The
snap-shot judgment that has called
forth this embargo, according to the
opinion of a majority of stockmen in
this, vicinity, was caused by the ex
traordinary early visit of extreme
wiifler weather. Only a small num
ber of cattle were placed on the wln-
i ter range'before the weather, 16 and
J 18 degrees below xero, arrived. The
; mld-wlnter condition was accompan-
led by a heavy fall of snow. The only
' thing visible to the cattle was the
; frozen rock salt. This they observ
! 'J and relished with an enthusiasm
that can only be known by a hungry
human. The deep covering of snow
deprived them of feed and the frost
ed salt afforded them a relish with
out nutrition. The f rost in the salt
deprived them of their tongue's coat
ing, as would a piece of frosted steel
to the tongue .of a human. - Sore
mouths resulted with a plenttoua dis
play of blood around each salt heap,
together with a free flow of saliva.
W hen the condition . was discovered
food was offered, but the condition
of the animals' mouths prevented
eating, with the result that a few
were bo weakened that death ensued.
With proper attention the major
ity survived,, and a condition that
shortly after the severe weather of a
fortnight ago proved serious In con
templation has entirely cleared In
course of five days, so that now there
Is scarcely a remnant of a threaten
ed epidemic.
Foot and mouth disease, experts
declare, begins first with the hoof.
There has been no ailment of the
hoof in this siege. That all the
alarm has begun since the cold snap
Just prior to the middle of the month
J which was prevalent throughout the
state proves to stockmen on the
ground that Its origin was with the
fror.cn salt Had the cattle been
placed on winter rango the severe
weather would not have caused suf
ficient damage for passing comment.
