VACCINES FOR -FARM ANIMALS Treatment of Many Conditions in llorsca, uo Well no Cattlo unil Dozs, Huts Given Great Relief. (By B. F. ICAUPP, Colorado Agricultural College.)

It was announced from tho labor atory of pathology of the Colorado Agricultural college a few months ago that tho preparation of a racclno from the germs that cause tho sup puration In fistula and poll evil had given great success In experimental trials In our hospital practice. It Is also found that not only will this i vacclno effect a cure In over 95 per cent of tho cases of fistula and poll evil, when used by competent men, but It Is useful in pus forma tions following nail pricks, wlro cuts, or injuries of other kinds.
