as has been called forth because of
foot and mouth disease. The fact re­
mains, however, that measles possess
a far greater hazard to the welfare
of citizens than does the contagious
disease of cattle, whose main factors
are purely economic.
Foot and mouth disease, or aph­
thous fever, is a highly contagious
disease primarily affecting cattle, and
only occasionally attacking man.
There have been six severe outbreaks
in the United States since 1870, ex­
clusive of the one now appearing.
There has been on each occasion con-
siderable economic loss, but a low
mortality of the cattle involved. The
main losses have depended upon the
interferences with the milk supply,
the marketablity of meat and the
general disturbance occasioned by
quarantine.
The mode of control of the epi-
demic involves isolation of the effect-
ed herds, with the destruction and
burial of diseased cattle, general dis-
infection and restriction of the move-
ments of cattle, and systematic inspec-
tion of the farms in the infected
areas, to secure the early detection
oft he disease.
The disease itself consists of the
eruption of vesicles, chiefly on the
mucous membranes of the mouth and
on the skin of the cleft of the hoof,
with occasional outbreaks on the ud-
ders and other portions of the skin.
The cause of the disease has not been
identified, but there is reason to be­
lieve that it is an ultra-microscopic
virus. The specific causative element
is known to occur in the exudate
from the vesicles, in the saliva, milk,
tears and various other secretions
and excretions. The virus is readily
destroyed by heat.
The disease is rare among adults,
tho it occasionally occurs among
children. The infection is transmit-
ted thru the use of raw milk, butter,
buttermilk, cheese and whey derived
from ai^mals suffering with foot and
mouth disease. Children are most fre­

FACE THE AUTOMOBILE
Business Farmer: When you start
walking down the country road or

automobile oi do you walk with your
back to it?
If you follow the latter plan and do
much walking on the highways the
chances of your being alive five years
from today are pretty slim, but if
you wll change your method of wrlk-
ing and face the traffic, stepping out
to the side of the road as the oncom­
