A local cattle raiser tells us that
there is little chance of cattle dying
of the fo-called "stalk" disease if
the animal are given plenty of
water, lie claim that there is
little or no poison in the smut or
fungus which gathers on the stalk,
but as the smut is of a very dry
nature causes tl'e IP00" n pncU
thc'stomacli and intestine. This
packing is not likely to occur if the
Cattle and horses are led plenty of
suit and given free access to all
the water they will drink. Exam
ination of animals which have died
from eating- htalks show that the
intestines have been packed so
hard that nothing short of a chisel
could remove the substance. When
so much stock is dying from this
so-called disease, it might be well
for stock growers to see that their
animals have plenty water.

No new cases of small-pox have
been reported since last Thursday
forenoon and the citizen's are bc
giniug to congratulate themselves
that the disease has been stamped
out. Altogether there have been
lourlcen cases, five of which have
been cured and discharged from
the hospital. The remaining nine
are getting along nicely and several
of them arc about convalescent.
The greatest caution is still
being used by the city authorities.
When a case of sickness is reported,
which has the least symptoms of
Btnatl-pox, a thorough investiga
tion is made, hut as above stated
nothing- new has developed since
last Thursday.
, The above statements should be
be a Buflicicnt denial of the cock-and-bull
stories which have been
circulated in adjoining towns rela
tive to the plague in th'iB city,
much to the discredit of the author
ities and financial loss to the busi
ness men. To us it looks as though
the conditions in this city have
been magnified by persons in ad
joining towiiB in order to keep
people from coming here to trade.

It is well known that Blackleg
is particularly troublesome in the
fall, and perhaps, a word on the
subject of blackleg vaccination
may be of interest to our read
ers. The merits of the operation
are well proven without the
shadow of a doubt, so that ttis7
cussion ,on that point is not nec
essary. However, in spite of the
fact that cattle raisers recognize
the necessity of vaccination, 'yet
many of them put it off from
week to week, trusting that luck
will sec them through, and it is
these cattle raisers specially to
whom we desire to point out the
danger of such a short-sighted
policy. By deferring vaccina
tion until .the disease breaks out
in your herd or in your, immedi
ate neighborhood, you sustain
unnecessary loss in the first in
stance and court disaster in the
second. Such being the case,
vaccinate early in the fall and
place yourself' on the safe
side. Now is the time to vaccin
ate; do not postpone it, and feel
sore when you lose from black
leg. Another and most import
ant point is the vaccine. The
whole success of the operation
depends upon the vaccine! Do
not be imposed upon by venders
of so-called cheap vaccine; exer
cise due caution in regard to ex
perimental vaccines which arc
distributed gratis to give expe
rience to their makers or for
government inquisitorial or sta
tistical purposes. It is a good
plan to use that which ha? prov
en successful and reliable by
many years of constant use.
