Which i? Causing the Death of
Thousands of Homes.
Washington. D. (!., Feb. 26.?In past
years horses have died by the thous
ands in Texas, Iowa. Kansas .and Ne
braska from a disease affecting the
nerrous' system, popularly known as
blind staggers or forage poisoning.
The Department of Agriculture has
received urgent requests for help
aga^st this disease from 16 different
Stales, and as a result it is now pub
lishing a bulletin containing definite
Instructions for combating this ds
ease. ?
The States that appealed to the De
partment of Agrculture for assistance
pelade the following:
' Ciljflado, Georgia, Kentucky, Lou
inianJTMaryland, Missouri, Nebraska,
New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Vir
ginia, West Virginia.
This shows the universality of the
disease. Kansas and Nebraska bore
the brunt of the affliction during the
past year bet other States hare also
suffered seriously. Kansas ha? had
Bare than her share. Severe out
breaks extended over almost the ea-d
tire State in 1891 and since that late;
have recurred with equal severity on
two occasions in various portion? or
the State. I
The bulletin takes',notice of the f*cVI
that additional deaths have undoubt
edly been due to1 the use of fako
"cues" sold by unscrupulous per
sons. It Ik reported that in Nebraska
"black-leg vaccine" was used on at
least 1,606 unaffected horses, nearly
1,666 of which are said to have died
as a direct result
Investigators have practically es
tablished that this horse disease can
be controlled effectively only by a to
tal change of feed and forage. It is
quite obvious that there Is a direct
connection between the green forage,
exposed paaturage and newly-cut hay'
or fodder which the hones eat, and
thls Qerebro-splnal Meningitis, as the
disease Is known to scientists. *3ln
fact, eating of such forage when con
taminated Is undoubtedly the most im
portant cause. Over 96 per cent of
cases of this disease In Kansas and
Nebraska during the outbreak of 1912
wen maintained under such condi
tions. ' "i ? r->?
Qreat care mnit be taken that
horses do not obtain the dangerous
forage unknown to their owners, The
owner of one farm Informed the de
partment's investigator that his dead
hare?? had paten nothing but old hay
and grain.
"Bat what about the closely-crop
ped grass In this pasture??" remarked
the Investigator, noticing the adjacent

Man y horse? have died from blind
staggers caused by eating moMy bal

inated the disease ceased. Other
, horses In the vicinity not fed upon
this hay failed to contract this dis
ease Later some of the moldy bales
were opaaad and expoaed to the s an

infection but rather wbat is called
"auto-Intoxication"?that is, it I? due
to certain chemical' poisons or toxins
formed by the activity ot internal, or
ganisms. These poisons may be pres
ent when the forage is taken into the
body 01: may be formed in thp stom
ach.' Tm nature of this pol sofa is still
unknown. ' ?
Characteristic Symptoais of This Dis
ease.
When the horse is taken with the
blin4 staggers It usually exhibits a
disturbance ot the appetite, depres
sion and weakness, while there is
trouble In swallowing, drooping of ue
head and sleepiness which, may give
way to excitement.and attacks of diz
ziness. The vision Is Impaired, which
result? In the staggering gait that
gives the disease Its popular name.
Certain muscles of the neck and
flanks are cramped and there Is a
grinding of the teeth. Sometimes the
animal has pains as though It were
afflicted with colic. The anlifthl will
walk strangely If in an open space
and will try to push through any ob
stacle it encounters. In the stable
he will press his head against the
stall or rest it on the manger. Some
times he will crowd into a corner. The
temperature at the beginning of the
disease ranges from 103 to lift de
greea P. but within 24 hoars the tem
peratnre falls and eventually becomes
subnormal. The animal is often down
OB t&e second or third day atid may or
may not get up when. urged. Death
usually occurs In from four to eight
days/although death may follow wltlr
in ten hours of the first symptoms,
while chronic cases have been known
to last for three weeks. About 90
per cent of the affected animals die.
Medical Treatment Generally rnsatls
factory.
* While medical treatment in the vast
majority of oases has not brought re
sults, nevertheless If-It Is used at all
It must be prompt and be/ore the .dis
ease has had tlihe to run. The diges
tive tract should be cleaned out thor
oughly at once. -Active and concen
trated remedies should be given. Af
illcled animals, however, have great
difficulty In swallowing immediately
after being tak?n, so that these rem^'
edles must generally be given by In
jection. Arecolln m one-half grain

'results as'a purgative. Early In the
disease arolropln in dose? of 25
grains dissolved in water and given
by Uie mouth every rtwo. hours, ap
pears to have been responsible for tba
recovery of some cases of the malady.
After the animal has been purged,
the treatment varies according to the
symptoms. The following measures
have been recommended:
The first and moat Important: Feed
only clean well-cured forage and
grain, and pure water.
Calonfel, salol, and" sallfycllc acid.
* Mild antiseptic mouth-wathes are
advisable.
Copious cold-water Injections, If the
temperature Is high, give better re
sults than antipyretics.
An lca^pack applied to the head lit
beneficial la the case of marked ner
vouk disorder.
One-ooace doses of chloral hydrate
per rectum should be given If the p?i
tlent la violent or muscular spasms
If the temperature becomes sab
normal, the animal should be warml>
blanketed. X v
If much weakness Is shown this
should be combated with stimulants,
such as strychnine, camphor? alcohol,
atropin, or aromatic spirits of am
monia.
* During convalescence the usual
tonic treatment is recommended.
