Mystery of Foot -and -Mouth
Disease.
l'he recent outbreak of the foot-
and-mouth disease in Michigan and at
the ,Chicago Stock Yarda is the first
trace of the( plague in the tinithd
States since 1870, when it was said
to have gone froni Canada, where at.
had. been brought by cattle from Eng-
' land. Over twenty years ago the
farms of Germany were sweptby
the plague, and the losses were put at
nearlp $40,000,000.
What snakes the foot-and-mouth di-•
case esPeeeally dangerous is the ease
with which it is carried and the ra-
pidity with which it spreads. Once

by the infection of the pens of the

directions through the ordinary chan-

strict quarantine • in all localities
where discovered, the Governipts of
the United States atid Canada have
taken only the first step toward ex-
tinguishing it. The isolation of all di -
seed animals and the diseinfection

For the proper storing of ice sever-

piled so as to form, as nearly as ;meant,
possible, a rube ; for example, a mass
of ice I.2x12x12 fent exposes less sur-
face than the same tonnage piled so
as to cover a larger tirea. (2) Good
insulation is necessary ; that Is, the
ice should be protected from external
influences such as heat and air, (3)
There .should he good drainage be-
cause the lack of it interferes with
insulation. (4.) The ice sbould be
