CONTAGIOUS APTLOA.
or T' Intcr-Mountnln Tarmcr by Prof. Lewis A. Merrill, Utah Kxper

ePrc Jl Inches Iiae ot lalo had coneldernlilo to say concerning the In
jun of th" 'l'00t ,uul Mouth" disease into this countr). Congum has
ak(j to i ike n special appropriation for Its eradication, ami muih cxclto
yjbeen caused In localities where there has been nn outbreak of the dls
for this ' nson " nmy b0 '"resting to the readers of The lnter-Mountaln
,to k m romcthlns as to the nature of the disease. It Is a dlsonso which
(prlncli-'lly cloven-hoofed animals, though all warm-blooded animals may
, u Van occasionally suffers from It. though usually In the liuman
It issuni 3 u mild form. It Is a specific contagious disease, readily com
,Me from one nnlmal to nnother, cither by the healthy animal coming In
enlth the diseased animal or coming Into contact with material which
e, fr a the diseased structures. Iho contagion, fortunately, does not
jtiailll) on th nlr' nnd a crV narrow separation will prevent Infection If
jtot "' olute contact. Tll lnllk 'rom diseased animals Is one ot the most
liour 3 of contusions to pigs nnd dots, producing dingcrous Intestinal
jTFAT Cr TIIK DISRASH It Is a illsec.se extended widely oer European
a-J nslons great losses, although the nt tual death rate from the dls
etyjitc I not more than 3 per cent ot the nffected nnlmils dying. The
results follow from a diminution of the milk supply and consequent lnter
.tlth the dairy business. It was brought Into this count! from Euiopc
but nc r got beyond the control of the local authorities.
W IT MAY "I' ItnCOQNIZUD Two, or, at the most, six days after tho
jbas come In contact with the disease, It begins with a fever. The first In
utile owner Is likely to hao ot the disease Is some evidence of a sore
ortluc little eruptions having the nppi-arance of blisters nppcarlng on
jioeand on tho Inside of tho cheeks The animal manifests discomfort nnd
!( There Is an Increased secretion ot saliva though the animal keeps
ticlosrd except when champing them. Coincident with these sjmptoms
jitheoil amnio of eruptions on the thin skinned portions of the bodj, on
jjer tcati etc. The nnlmnl soon become lame nnd examination nround
nnet of tho hoof reveals the same kind of blisters as nre found on the other
otthe bod. There Is considerable fcer (often a temperature of 104 de
Filirenh It), the respiration becomes hurried, the pulse more rapid, with
there s)nptoms the nnlmal does not look dangerously 111, though there Is a
jol of dl'iomfort Bhown. With sheep the- disease often nrsumes a more
unt form und the mortality among theso animals Is much greater than
tattle
t'ortun My, one nttack of the dleaso does not confer Immunity, that Is,
iliont ff cted may contract the disease again, so vaccination would only
jlntrodu It
1EATM1 NT I.lttlo can be dono by way of treatment. The animal should
ma I x-itlNe, Kpiom salts In one-pound doson. Tor the blisters or crup
m astringent wash mado of one ounce ot horax. one ounce of tincture of
iand one ipinrt f water may be used, The feet should be thoroughly
i the ilea 1 tissues, If any arc present, removed by the use of lunar caustic,
tnw "h I with un ounce of the oil of vitriol In four ounces of water. Tho
hwld the le soikcel In tnr und n bandage applied.
EFSTIorJ All Imported animals should be carefully Inspected, and If
rpr cautions arc used It can be easily prevented. Ihe writer Is of tho opln
