SEVERAL STATES REPRESENTED Green Forage Is Suspected Cause, As Many Agree That Those on Dry Forage Escape. Moro than a hundred veterinarians cf tho atato In addition to several from Iowa and Missouri attended a conference held at tho stato house, Bays tho Lincoln Journal, looking to tho adoption of somo means of com batting tho dlsoaso which haB caused tho death of hundreds of horses in Nebraska. No definite conclusion no to the treatment to bo followed was arrived at by the veterinarians but In tho main thoy agreed as to the Bymp toms and as to tho gonoral conditions Biirroundlng the appearance of tho disease. Every phaso of tho malady was dis cussed during the meeting and tho different speakors brought out a num ber of Ideas and theories which they have been working upon since thoy first came in contact with tho trouble. With 'only a few exceptions those present decided that the trouble originates from tho feeding of green grass, hay or woods and that horses conllned to dry feed stand little chanco of contracting tho disease. Tho mooting was opened by Gover nor Aldrlch who stated tho purpose of the call and who gavo assurance that overy thing possible would bo done by tho stato to co-operato In seeking a method to exterminate the scourge. Dr. Bostrom, stato veterina rian, took charge of tho meeting, fol lowing tho governor's address, and called upon Dr. Walto, bacteriologist of tho stato university, for a talk. Tho latter declared that ho had been present and assisted in tho post mor tem examination of twelve horses and that ho had taken fluids from the brains of several of tho animals. These ho declared bore dlpplococcus germs which he believed to bo tho cause of tho malady. He declared that the disease, as far as he had ob served its ravages, is like many of tho Infectious diseases which attack tho human family as far as its method Df spreading Is concerned. Ho Bald that ho had examined the blood of a number of the animals but that as ret he was uncertain whether this or ganism existed thero or not. Several cultures had been made, ho said, buty ineso nan tnus iar revcaieu iiuio mai would aid In determining tho causo of Iho scourge. Dr. Reager of Edgar asserted that he had been treating for forage poi soning and that his success had been about on a par with tho results at tained by other veterinarians who fol lowed different courses. He raised the question aB to the contagious and in fectious characteristics of tho disease declaring that he and others with whom ho had talked wero unable to decide upon this. Most of tho cases which camo to his attention, ho de clared, had boon horses which had roamod tho pastures either all or a part of tho tlmo. Dr. J. S. Anderson of Seward as serted that tho disease had been found mostly In horses which had been worked regularly and which upon Sundays or at nights were turned out to graze on stubble ground or upon pasture land. Most of these cases he Bald originated in poorly drained lands. Ho did not suggest any specific treatment declaring that ho had not fixed upon "anything thus far which ho believed could bo termed oven partially successful. Dr. Iloylman of Franklin called attention to tho likelihood of worms and In testinal parasites reciting his experi ences in connection with tho battle against tho disease Ho declared that It had first showed all symptoms of auto-Intoxication but that further In vestigation would not bear out any definite theory elthor as to tho causo or tho treatment. Ho read a letter from Dr. Klngsloy of Kansas City whom ho had called to Franklin to aid him in tho work. 'The communl nation suggested that all horses Bhould bo barred from pastures and access to green feod and that medi cine, particularly purgatives, should bo given freely when tho first symp toms appeared. Dr. Klngsley stated that It was very doubtful If moro than 20 per cent of tho animals uttacked, could recover. He advocated the employment of drastic moans for eliminating tho contents of the bowels. Pr. Nichols of Ravonna declared that tho belief that horses of weaken ed systems wero the only ones to suc cumb to tho disease had been dissi pated in his vicinity. Strong "ntlweak horses alike, he asserted had fallen before tho scourge. May Get a Pardon. Ono of tho Interesting cases beforo tho nnrdoninE board Is that of W. L. Wltliams, sent up from Douglas county on a statutory charge. Williams has proven to be an expert In tho Installa tion of boilers and In tho six years he haB served ho has saved tho state hundreds of dollars, not only by hls work, but by tho valuablo suggestions im tins mndo the board whenover now boilers havo been put In nt the dif ferent Institutions.

"If Nebraska does not havo good seed from this year's crop, It will bo necessary for Nebraskana to depend upon seed brought from other states. Seod brought In from other states docs not ylold as well ns homo grown seed. "If overy ono concerned will select tholr seed early and then properly euro It, Nebraska will not experlenco such a Bcedr corn famtno as that which threatened tho stato this spring. Not only will wo havo plenty of seed, but we will got greater yields, for experiments at tho Btation' havo proved that well selected seed corn will produce from four to six bushels more than corn not carefully selected. "Tho fields this year wero planted late. Immediately after planting, considerable unseasonable weather followed and In many Holds the corn which was planted did not havo strong germinating powers. Thoso conditions must bo borno in mind to get good seed for next year's crop." Arrangements havo been mndo by tho Bureau of Publicity of tho Com mercial club of Omaha, whereby bul letins, prepared by Prof. Pugsley, will bo furnished, freo ot cost, either by the Bureau or by the Extension De partment of tho Stato Farm.
