SERIOUS DISEASE OF HORSES
Reappearance of Malady In West
Leads Experts to Urge Value of
Protective Measures.
(Prepared by th United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.) .
An outbreak of what is commonly
called the "Kansas horse disease" has
taken place. in western Kansas and
eastern Colorado within recent weeks,
causing the loss of several hundred
horses. With the reappearance of this

That is the judgment of the United
States department of agriculture on
one of the most serious problems for
owners of farm sheep., Definite infor
mation concerning the1 essential things
is embodied In Circular No. 47, "Stom
ach Worms in Sheep Prevention and
Treatment," prepared in the bureau ol
animal industry. The whole subject
Is summarized in five questions and
answers to them. Condensed, it is
this:
How can one tell when sheep have
stomach worms?
Dullness and lack jf thrift are
among the first indications. Scouring
Is often noticeable. These conditions
might result from other causes, but
when due to stomach worms, are ac
companied by a pale, bloodless appear
ance of the skin and the mucous mem
branes of eyes and mouth. Sometimes
there is a watery swelling under the
jaws.
How do the worms injure sheep?
, These very small worms live in the
alimentary tract, principally in the
"fourth stomach," and injure sheep by !
consuming blood, and by secreting a
poisonous fluid which destroys red
blood corpuscles. The injury is often
fatal to lambs. Adult sheep are better
able to withstand it;"
How should Infested sheep or lambs
be treated?
Make a drench by dissolving one
fourth pound of powdered bluestone in
a pint of boiling water, and add suffi
- cient cold water to make a total of
three gallons of solution. The dose
for an adult sheep is three and a half
fluid ounces, for lambs under a year
old, one and 4ree-iuarters fluid ounces
of . this solution. It is better to use
this early before serious trouble de
velops than to wait until the lambs
begin to die.
Care, however, is necessary in
drenching, and improper dosing may
cause serious damage. While tUe
lambs are with the ewes, change pas
tore every two weeks if possible and
orous campaign, which It is believed
has effectively checked the epidemic.
The factthat in the outbreak of 1912
Kansas lost some 20,000 horses indi
cates the serious possibilities of such
an occurrence and the value of speedy
protective measures such as the fed
eral and state experts have taken.
The cause of this disease is not
definitely known, but it is believed
to be due to eating some form of
