The nearest crises of it that we have heard of were at Lewellen, up wards of a hundred miles southeast eff, Alliance. There Is Quite a difference of opinion among reterloarlano as to the cause of the disease. The Her- 1 aid is in receipt of a circular letter I from the 1'nited States Department Of Agriculture, dated Sept. 11, 19 la, presenting a theory that Is accepted by many, As this circular will be of great interest to jnany of our read era, we give It to them, as follows: The Cause fo the Disease During the last five months numer ous reports have been received by the Bureau Of Animal Industry rel aiive to the existence of forage poisoning in various section ot the 1'nited Slates, particularly in Louis iana, West Virginia. Kansas and Ne braska it lias usually occurred when a hot, dry period has been followed by rains, or during wet seasons, es pOC tally those which are character ized by ft Squall I rains alternating with hot sunshine, producing a damp, sultry atmosphere. Such DOOdttlOOl are most favorable to the production of molds, and all outbreaks that have been investigated by the Hu nan have been traced to the -eating of unsound or moldy forage or feed, or the drinking of water from wells or pools containing surface water drained thru deccmposed and moldy egetatlon. The disease has been show n to be also due to eat inn dam aged ensilage, hay. corn, brewer's grains, oats, etc. Horses and mules at pasture may contract the disease when the growth cf grass is so pro fuse that it mats together ami the lower part dies and ferments cr be comes moldy. No specific organism or virus has yet been found which can be considered as the cause of this disease. How Disease May Be Recognized The so called cerebro spinal men ingitls of hows being an entirely different disease from that which oc curs in man, the symptoms as well as the cause are distinctly different. In the most rapidly fatal attnt :s death takes place in from 5 to 48 hours Such cases begin With violent tresnhllgg r stupor and extreme w. ikoeea, or with staggering gait, partial or total inability to swallow, IllinallOUOl of eyesight, followed by partial or 0OOUlotO paralysis inabil ity to stand, with marked delirium during which the uniinal lying flat on its side becomes violent and knocks and bruises its head. In the sec oncl form of the disease the same line of lymistfUOi may be got feed in a milder degree. Difficulty in iwal lowtag, lowgesa in chewing the ii.od and inability to swit.h the tail I are observed. Hivathlng becomes heavy and noisy, and delirium may rtwreiop wi n stiffness of the spintl musc le- or partial cramp of the neck and taws, Daath occurs iu from to Hi days. In tic- last or mildest form the lack of voluntary control of the limbs becomes but slightly marked, the power of swallowing never entirely lost, and the animal has no Carer, pain, or unconscious movements. In those cases which get well the animal tene rally begloa to improve about the fourth day and goes on to recovery. One attack IOCS not protect against a second attack, as horses and mules have 1 been known to have the disease two or three times". How Prevent-d and Treated The first principle in the treat ment of this disease consists in a total change of feed and forage. Morses kept in the stable should be led with sound forage and grain from an uncontainiuated source, SVSfl if such feed has to be brought from a distance. Horses that have be come affected while at bOOtoro sliould be removed from t lie field in which they have been running. Tha animals should be brought to the barn or corral and fed on wholesome and clean feed and forage. The water, unless from an untioi luted Source, should likewise lie chance At present this preventive treat ment is the only satisfactory met bed known for checking the disease, as all medicinal remedies used have been unsatisfactory in the vast ma jority of case. The first step is to empty the bowels and remove the poisonous products, but on account of the difficulty in swallowing, an aloes ball or Glauber's salt is hard to give. In fact, no remedy should be given by the mouth if the throat is paralyzed, as pneumonia is liable to result. Fifteen grains of barium chlorid injected into the juaular vc in, or I grains of eserine under the skin, if the animal is not too greatly dppressed, will usually act promptly. Intestinal disinfectants such as cal omel, salicylic- acid, and creolin are also used. If much weakness is shown and the temperature is beiow norma! give arcanatic spirits of am mooia. digitalis, alcohol, ether, or LIVE STOCK PRICES AT SOUTH OMAHA Beet Supply Meager arid Mar About Steady.
