frost has come we think the danger
of it reaching this vicinity has pass
ed. 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
