FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE » t flu- live "took breeders of this State I have been naturally very much concerned about the foot and mouth cis- ' ease. A great many inquiries have been 1 received as to methods of infection and; '■ means of prevention. The following!' facts relative to tile disease are sum-' roarized from the valuable works "of j ' lire. Hutvra and Marek, who have re- ' ported extensive observations with the ] I disease in foreign countries: , 1 The -disease is described as ar. acute,]' febrile, contagious and infectious dis- 1 ease of cloven-footed afima'tk It ' affects cattle prinic'ipally and in a lesser ' degree hogs and sheep, spreading rap- ' idly, if not controlled, and infective herds are apt to remain after the «p 1 parent .disappearance of the disease, from which nevr outbreaks may develop. f It spreads more rapidly in warm weath- ' er, being checked by cold, but is apt to ' reappear and gain wide prevalence with the return of warm weather. It is eco- 1 nomically important, not because of the great mortality from the disease but because of the severe losses resultant on the necessary slaughtering of infected animals, the impairment of the health of the saved animals, \the loss in body weight, the diminished milk production, . and the curtailment of traffic in cattle caused by quarantine regulations and " loss of confidence. When vesic.es caused by the disease are ruptured, the saliva, the tears, the nasal discharge, the milk and other »e-JJ cretions become infectious. Imter, the ' virulence of the reside fluid diminishes, j and after ten days the saliva of the in- 1 f fected cattle is no longer infectious. " ' Milk of lime, 1 per cent: carbolic', acid mixture. 2 per cent; formulin, 3 - per cent; soda, and 1 per cent, hydro- ' cholic arid will destroy germs in one ! hflnir. The heat oT fresh manure will 1 destroy the germs if at a depth of about | eight inches. : ' Direct infection spreads by healthy ' j animals coding in contact with infected jj ones, the virus taking effect upon the r mucous membrtfne. The disease may | be indirectly transmitted by the saliva j of infected animals, the milk, the vesi- j cles which develop on the feet; con t am- j ' imated food, cribs, stalls, watering- . troughs, straw, stable floors, pastures, i - highroads, railroad cars and passage- j ' wifys; and the hands, allocs and clothes'1 of attendants. Food, manure, raw ani- , ' mal products, raw hides, wool and milk j are carriers of the disease as well. • Butchers, cattle dealers, unscrupulous 1 „ veterinarians, farm hands and domestic : , animals may transmit the disease, and stock markets have played an important | part in disseminating1 the infection. i Animals which have passed through i the disease may harbor the virus in | their bodies for a long time, and expel j , it periodically or continuously. In this way, the disease may break out on premises where such animals are introduced. Recovery from the disease reduces sus- 1 ccptibilitv for a time only, immunitv ing fn :n one year to seven, according to diffirent authoi .1 It develops iu from two to seven days after exposure. At first, there is fever. ' body temperature rising during the first or second day to 1(1 to 41 degrees ' centigrade, aceouipanii-d by accelerated 1 pulse and diminished appet ite." As soon ' as eruption of the vesicli-s appears the ' temperature rapidly drops to normal, 1 1 nnless there are complications. j * The mucous meinbrane becomes sore j 1 and sensitive. The animals open their t months now and then with a smacking soi-nd- Vesicles form and burst on the l tongue, leaving painful erosions. Vesi- [ cles develop also on the muzzle, at the ' ^ base of the boms and in tlie throat, and the feet become affected after the les-l1 ions in the mouth have appeared. The ' ^ udder and teats are often affected, dc- j vc^pping vesicles and swellings. In the majority of rases, foot and I < mouth disease extends from two to j . three weeks. In a certain percentage of | cases, permanent affections remain, such ] a? chronic affection of the hoofs, j f Milk yield is diminisliel, usually lasting . until the next calf, but occasionally* last- 1 ' i; The disease is in its nature a milk | affection, death occurring only very , rarely, the mortality amounting from i 2 per cent to .5 per cent : and even this , death rate is principally due to bad | hygienic conditions. In the malignant ' form the mortality is 50 to 70 per cent. ' ; Rest and cleanliness are the two princi- ' . pal requirements in treating the disease. ! Under these conditions, mild forms of'; the disease progn-ss favorably, without j leaving permanent affections. The dis- 1 ease is difficult to control, the infection g being transmitted in so many ways. ■ Prompt notification of cases, strict quar- j - antine. isolation or destruction of the affected animals ancf {borough disinfec- j tion are demanded. Immediate slaughter I of all affeeted cattle baa been found to j be the most effective way of checking the spread of the disease. The carcasses are buried in trenches, and covered with quick lime, a very expensive procedure.. Human beings are susceptible to the foot and mouth, disease, milk, from affeeted con and whey, cheeee and butter made from such milk being usu-

ally the transmitting agents. Persons j. handling cattle may contract the disease this is rare. The State Board of Agriculture of a Kew Jersey through district inspect- > ors, is attempting to iocatf and quaranI tine infected herds, while the Federal } j Government is supervising and directing > ! '.lie campaign to stamp out the disease ! in various states. A bill is before x ' requesting a $2,500,000.00 ap- > j propriation to -cover expenses involved ) '■ in quarantining infected areas, and to } I compensate owners for animals that of necessity have been destroyed. It is > hoped that the State Legislature will j make a liberal appropriation in order ) that the State- may assist the Federal ; Government in compensating owners I whose valuable animals have been de- } strayed. The New Jersey Experiment } will very gladly co-operate with j the Federal Government and State offi- J rials in locating, quarantining and elim- } inating agencies that are instrumental > in spreaidng the disease.
