The Origin of u8notM And Anae
Mia Discovered! .
Hillbdobo, March 24, 187..
Yitnliiv in our little town of
HilUboro, we had to us thoroughly
tested ' one of the most interesting
studies that has ever come before
our sheep owners, and one that must
in tho future be invaluable
to them. The subject was 'Snots and
Amrmia. two diseases that are now
luummA a. Aunia anion? the docks of
our Valley. It is Mr. Wm. Wat
on, Superintendent for S. G. Reed,
we have to thank for our informa-
lion. Mr. Watson has always a
mied, contrary io the opinion of all
sheep owners, that nnofg is not a dis-
mm nf iificlf. but the mine me of a
disease called , or worms in the
bronchial tube and air cells of the
lungs. The farmers say to him, 'AJ;
when you are longer in the county
you will find it is in the head' nasal.
But our iriend, who is a perfect mas
ter of his subject, said, "If you will
believe facts through occular demon
frftfSnn T will show vou them." Tne
WMOVWMW 1
answer to this was, "Certainly 1" Mr
W., true to his word, brought to town
a very fine, large-framed sheep yes
terday, almost a thoroughbred Cots
wold. Now, he said, "1 am going
to show, .you two diseases in this
theep, that you Oregoniaus are per
fectly ignorant of. and yet there are
abundant, instances of them both in
very one of your flocks, making no
exception. These diseases are llosh
r& Anaemia or bloodlessness, both
the result of great exposure to the
long winter rains, and the latter
greatly attributable to insufficiency
of nourishing food.
The first experiment was admira
bly shown forth, Mr. "Watson de
scribing minutely beforo the -tnorfem
examination took place how
certain organs would appear, and to
the astonishment of every one, ev
erything was precisely as he said.
Tbo blood . was carefully saved and
weighed. The wholo yield was only
48 ounces o! blood in the greatest
state of poverty. It was very deli
eate in color, and, after standing a
little, one half of it seemed to turn
into water. The liver was undergo
ing fatty degeneracy, and likewise
the. kidney 8 to a great extent. The
brain was much softened, the animal
was much emaciated, and had a most
bloodless appearance. This
proof was most satisfactory. "Now
for7ioV says Mr. W, describing
it minutely before dissection. AVith
the assistance of Dr. Vitethe trachea
or windpipe, was carefully opened.
As it waa being dissected it was seen
full of mucus. The Oregonians be
gan to pit great cuds of tobacco,
and guessed that the "old man" was
about right. Deeper goes the knife
till the whole bronchial tube was laid
open. At the extreme end down in
the lungs (seated in what is known
aa the bifurcation of the bronchia),
was found a perfect ball of reptile
like worms, fine as silk threads, and
from one to three inches long, wal
lowing among froth and mucus such
as sheep discharge at the nose.
Now," says Mr. W., here's your
Snots; see and believe." Old sheep
owners looked at each other in as
tonishment, hardly knowing wheth
er they were fools or men, to think
that they had'had snotty sheep for
20 years and never before knew what
caused it! It even astonished the
medical men and Veterinary Surgeon
that were present. Mr. Watson
said he saw both of these diseases to
a frightful extent in a flock ot 3,000
sheep in the neighborhood of Waits
burg, W. T., nearly four years ao.
Being a perfect stranger in the coun
try he felt at a loss what it watobe-
"in with, not knowing the nature of
4K lim! crassea. &c: but before
irttenis vw TifTwu i( . - . ..... . . ..
was a week' amHg thm. he sn
what was rjy, and killed some of the
sheep to make pott mortem exnuiiua-
UODK. so as 10 iutiy Bausiv inmscuri
The frontier's men in that district
to keep troughs with tar constantly
beside your sheep, always keeping
ffMiltiPn the iar to nooomg-tlie
sheep to lick, 13y this means the
sheep will inhale the tar. fumes, and
although it may not prove a cure to
those deeply affected, still it will
prove a preventive to young sheep
and now is the time to use it bo as to
p lambs cleftr of it.
Amvmia or bloodlettnett , is caused
b? a want of nourishing food. Mr.
AVatson says the system ot keeping
sheep on very ripe timothy hay du
ring storms is a very injurious one;
sheep thould have tender green hay
early cut, but what is far bctter,feed
liberally during the winter months
shelled oats mixed with bran, and
always add salt in every feed, be
sides haTe salt in troughs constantly
beside the Hock, so that they may go
to it at will. He also says that the
day is not far distant when farmers
will find it to their advantage to
keep better sheep and fewer of them
and provide shelter sheds for them,
not only to protect them from our
trying winter rains, but also from the
hot summer suns, hnanish meri
nos ,Mr. W. says, are almost an ex
ception to Snots. This he accounts
for, from the sheep never being cold
and wet like open wooled sheep.
Their dense oily fleeco tilways keep
ing them comfortable.
Mr. W. is at present holding a
ide correspondence with some of
the ablest veterinary surgeons in
Britain regarding J loth and Atuemia.
From what we have seen of the let
ters thev sav 4ie is perfectly clear in
w A
his views of the disease, and so inter-
does Mr. Watson s -corres
pondence seem to them, that his let
ters are being published in the Ilrit
ih Veterinarian, no small compli
ment!' "We are promised nil this
correspondence for publication from
our friend by an. I by as well as the
result of experiments ou thesi dis
eases, he is at present carrying out.
Our stock owners ought to he
most grateful to Mr. Watson for the
interest he is biking in their gcueral
welfare; all will benefit by his knowl
edge, and experience, for without
rlittery to him we make n he. it t 11
in savinir he is the best stock man
that hsis vet come to our State. Wo
know of 110 greater treat than a visit
to Keeuville to seo how the Kbort
horns,and other stock are kept.

This disease so prevalent iu sheep
at present is calling forth every eiiort
-
of Bheep raisers and wool growers
to ascertain if possible the nature
and cause of the malady and also
discover n remedy whereby it may
be successfully treated and its de
structive character and influence
made abortive.
Hundreds of sheep (aud I may
say thousands) have already been ac-l-ificed
in this country from its des
tructive influence and their value at
this time is too great to pass so de s-
tructive an agent unnoticed and ev
ery person being interested in 'the
products and prosperity of the coun
try should lend their utmost effort in
eradicating tho disease from among
us as early as possible. Yesterday,
March 23d, Mr. V iu. Watson, one
of our most energetic and thorough
cattle raisers aud Superintendent
for 8. G. Reed, Es., of Washing-
m. .
ton county, Oregon, concluded to
make a pott-mortem examination of
one of the sheep worst affected and
nlmost dead. Bv renuest I assisted
Mr. "Watson in the examination.
First, we carefully bled the sheep.
savins all the blood which amount-
d to onlv 28 ounces. The blood
coagulated verv rapidly, was of a
bright scarlet color, indicating prop
er oxidation; after standing about
10 hours the serum seaprated from
the clot, equal in quantity to the
clot indicating trreat anremia. After
disemboweling nnd removing all the
viscera we first proceeded to examine
the liver which presented almost a
normal condition, lightly pale and
somewhat softened; the Portal nnd
Hepatic veins appearing healthy; tho
gall bladder very large, double in
size and distended with a pale wa-
terv .fluid. SVmuhI. the inievt inot
appeared normal and heal thy.TIiird,
the left kidney much disorganized,
undergoing fatty degeneration ; the
capsule soft ncdecii'y peeled off;the :
HwrpplOmost cblitera-,
found,Tf hcthtadeacient or destroyed ;
h 1fTr.K4ri;n JtA- tint nectar. !
rr.;r,???i " '
ram. ronrui. iouna tue nean very
pnle, soft, ancV-iiabby. Fifth, the
upper lobes of both lungs presented
nn almost normal, healthy condition,
being somewliat paler than ' normal.
The lower lobes in bbWIungs pre
sented a- pale whitish appearance,
and upon pressure between the fin
gers had the same crepitant manifes
tations present in first stages of
pneumonia. Next, opened the
glottis aud 'trachea; found the mu- .'
coua membrane pale and covered 1
- 1
with a fiothv mucus; upon further j
otMiiinry into the bronchial tubes.
i o
found in each tub in the lower
lobes of each, lung a large collection
I
of thrend worms alive aud rolled to-;
gether in bundles as large as a pen-
holder and extennmg into the small ;
bronchi: the nir cells and bronchi
filled with fiothv mucus. 8ixtb, i
we next proceeded to examino ilic j
brain and nostrils found the brain j
very pale and greatly softened, more
particularly the anterior portion of
both hemispheres presented the ap- j
pearance of a soft, cheesy inasH, the
olfactorv bulbs beinpf almost de
stroyed. The mucous, or Schneideiian
membiane, lining the nostrils, Has
highly congested and covered with a
tenacious mucus extending into the
fauces.
Remarks.
The first thought likely to present
itself to the mind is.what Lithe char
acter of those worms: bow do they
get into the lungs; how do they or- t
ignate, or where do thrrv conic from, i
and how can they destroyed or the
disease successfully treated? ' i
In answer to the first thought, I :
have examined a few au thors on the
subject but find that the character j
of worms is not very well defiued. A
large list or classification is given in
Duiiglison'rt Dictionary embraciug '
20 varieties characterized by the or-
gans or j arts which they inhabit,
but I am not able to find any among ;
the whole list, which are common :
to, or frequent the bronchial tubes
as presents itself in the subject be-
fore us; Professor Dunglison speaks
of Fihiria Bronchmlis which inhabit-;
the bronchial glands, but fails to give ,
any information as to their charact-;
er. !
After exauiiuiug - Home of -the;
worms, under consideration, under!
the mieroscooe I butt they corres-
pond more closely with the Trico-
ccphalus uispar, or common inread
worin.which inhabits the c cenni and I
larje intestines in the human fami
ly. ,
In answer to thought second. An '
idea 1ms presented itself to n y miin :
niav there not be some insect wluca :
