In reply to your eorrespondent'e
inquiry re shearing in lamb owes,
in my opinion, it woalci be too rieley
to shoot' elient trio weeks before
lambing. And else the danger would
be fatly as great to ehear within
two or them weeks a:fter lambing.

The Deadly Anthrax;
• How it Should be Dealt With.
At Avonmore Farmers' Institute,
Dr, HiggInson, of Rockland, clisellee-
eel anthrax in this paper:
Anthrax ie a very fatal and vir-
ulent diseage and unfortunately pre-
vailed to a great .extent last sum-
mer, particularly in the towashIP
of Osnabruck.
The disease Is not a uew one,
having been a scourge to animal
life for thousands of years. It was
0110 o the Egyptian plageee at
the time of Moses, and had broken
out at intervals ever since, in olvie
axed and uncivilized countries.
In Italy at one time hundreds of
people had died' from eating the
flesh of animals that had died from
anthrax.
The Bret symptom is a chili fol-
loaved by a high fever. The Wad
18 ebiangeti In Its character. It
affects all out:1141s, but sheep, Urge
and horses are most susceptible.
Until lately the disease was at-
tributed to the climate, soil, etc.,
because it was usualty worse in low
marshy places, but the cause is
contagion, or cattle coming in
contact with diseased animals or
their remains. In no case has it
been known to start spontaneously.
The germs have great vitality,
and remain in tile soil for many
yeare, no matter how deep the dal -
eased animals were buried. It had
not been possible to locate the
prime eause of the outbreak In Os-
nabruck, but in Kingston and Break-
ville it was deflottely traced to the
disturbance of soil where animals
dying trona: anthrax had been bUr-
lcd at least 17 yeitas before.
In the early spring cattle might
graze on pastures where infected
animals had been before them, but
later in the 'season, when the grass
Was shorted they became inoculat-
ed through abrasions of the skin in
grubbing the short herbage.
Three different forms of anthrax
are recognized as afrecting domes-
tic animals:
Apoplectiforno which kills in
from a few minutee to several
hours.
2. Acute anthrax, lasting tram a
fe,w hours to a few days. • •
3. Sub-acnte forms of anthrax :
all C0500 t 41. longer duration.
In the firet and second forms the
disease runs Its course with remark-
able rapidity, and animals So affeet-
cad frequently tile at: If stricken by
lightning, tvithoot having given rise
to any previous suspicions regarding
their condition.
In the third form mortality at-
eeeds 70 per cent.

tion by flies. It la attended by local
swelling,which is bard ond painful

ing parts, general infeetion takee
place and the animal esually dies,
the poet mortem lesions being simi-
lar to those of inteetinal anthrax.
