DISEASE AHONti CATTLE. Clemsoa Expert TelU Hew It May Be Prevented. Within the last month the State vet erinarian has received letters from a uumber of farmers concerning a dis easej unfamiliar to them, which wss causing the death of their calves and yearling oattle and which was mani fested by the following symptoms: Gradual loss of condition and strength, with the animals feeding well; a soft sack-like swelling under the jaw, which was not hot or tender; scours; some* times a watery discharge from the eyes. The animals usually lived one to throe months after being attacked. Only young cattle wore affected, even whore tho old cattle used tho same pas ture aud barn. Of the cases reported only three recovered. On one farm the young oattle had been carried off in this way for three years. Investigation of the disease has no! been completed, but on several farms visited it was found that the trouble was causod by small worms, one-half to one inch lonx and about as thick as a hair. Ia fact, at first eight, they had appearance of short white hairs, but on closer examination the larger worms show a red stripe curling through the body like a corkscrew, the red stripe on ill ' white background presenting the appearance of a barber's pole. These wo-ms, which are commonly kuown as tho twisted wire worms, also as stomach worms, were found by thou sands in the fourth stomaoh of the af fected animals oxamined, lying in the mucous of tho etomaoh wall and scat tered through the contents of that or gan. They live on the blood and body juices of tho animal they inhabit, thus depriving the animal of the nourish ment which it should derive from its food. These worms are constantly passing out of tho affected animal, dropping on tho grasa or into pools of water, and when other cattle eat tho gras9 or drink the water, they bocomo infected with tho disease. Tho escape of tho older cattle from the fatal effects of the dis ease is explained by the fact that be cause of their greater strength th?y are able to withstand the' attacks of the worms, but although they do not show tho symptoms of tho disease they may nevertheless play an important part in the Infection of tho pasture. Farmers who have had the disease, among their cattlo should not, there fore, put young cattle on tho pastures which have been used by the sick cat tle, or which have been used by the older cattle which have been running with the sick cattle. If it is not possi ble to put the young cattlo in a clean pasture, the Infected pasture should be burned off whenever the grass is in suitable condition. It Is important also to see that the pasture used by the young cattle does not receive drainage from the infected pastures. v this course is followed, the disease will be eradicated from the farm. Medical treatment of the sick animal usually yields satisfactory results if be gun in time. The details of this treat ment can bo had upon application to the State Veterinarian. Louis A.
