Washington, I). C, Feb. 2d, In past years horses have died by tho. thous ands In Texts, Iowa, Kansas and Ne braska from a disease, affecting tho nervous system, popularly known as bjlml staggers or torao poisoning. Tho Department of Agriculture has re ceived urgent requests for help against tills disease from id different states, and as a result it is now publishing a hullollu containing doflulte lustilict- Ions for combating this disease. The states that appealed to tho Do partmentof Agriculture for assistance Include tho following: Colorado, Georgia, Kentucky, Ltiulhiun.i, Mary- laud, Mif-bourl, Nebraska, Now Jersey, Noi III Carolina, Oregon, South Caro lina, South Dakota, Vliginln, W Vir ginia. This shows tho universality of tho disease. Kansas aud Nebraska boie tlwi brunt of the allllctlou during the past year but other states have also suffered seriously Kansas has had more than hor slitue. Severe out breaks extended over almost the eu tire State in 181)1 mid since that date have recurred with equal severity on two occasions In various portions of tho Stute Tho bulletin takes notice of tho fact tnat additional deaths have undoubt edly been due to tho uto of fake "cures" sold by unscrupulous persona It Is reported that in Nebraska "black leg vacciuo" was used on at least 1000 unaffected horses, nearly 1000 of which ure Raid to have died an a direct result. Iuvestigutors have practically es tablished that this horse discaso can be controlled effectively only by a total change of feed a'nd forage. It is quite obvious that there is u direct connect ion between the green forage, exposed pasturage aud newly cut hay or fodder which tho horses cat, and this Cerebro spinal Meningitis, as tho disease is known to scientists. In fact, eating of sucli forage when contaminated is un doubtedly the most Important cause. Over 05 per cent of cases of this disease in Kansas and Nebraska during the outbreak of 1012 wero maintained un der suoh conditions. Great caro must betaken that horses do not obtain tho dangerous forage un known to their owners. The owner of one farm informed tho Department's investigator that his deud horses had eaten nothing but old Lay and grain. "But what about tho closely-cropped grass in tills pasture;'', icinarked the Investigator, noticing tho adjac ent field. "Oh!" answered tho farmer innocent ly, "I always turn tho work-horses In to pasture over night." Mnuy horses have died from blind staggers caused by eating' moldy baled hay. As soon ns the hay was eliminat ed the dlseaso coated. Other horses in the vicinity not fed upon this hay fulled to contract this disease Lator some of tho moldy bales were opened and exposed to tho sun for threo or four weeks. After this tho hay was fed to horses without producing any ill effect, forage poisoning, therefore. seems not to bo an Infection but rath er what is callod 'uiito-lntoxlc.ition" that is, it is duo to certain chemical poisons or toxins formed by tho activi ty of Internal organisms. These pois ons may be present whon t lie foragu Is taken into the body or may bo formed in tho btomach. Tho nutuie of thTs poison Is still unknown.
