Tho advances of this iusid ions diseuso are so gradual aud so im perceptible to the linked eye, that fann ers and other stoolc owners are apt to bo lnllod into a foeliug of security, when lu reality there is the greatest danger.

Is there any preventive, uud what is the treatment, if there is any, that is effective? Please give mo tho symptoms as they appear in mules, hogs and cows. Is tho disease of recent ori gin? How is it communicated? Answer.—Your questions are very Important in view of the recent out break in different sections of Anthrax, or charbou as it is sometimes called. This fatal disease had its origin hun dreds ot’ yeara ago, but until very re cently little was known of its nature 01 the causes of its communication aud dissemination. Tho investigations of the world renowned Koch as to this and other diseases arising from the develop ment of spores aud their transforma tion into bacilli, are of untold vulue and have thrown a groat doal of light qu u subject, which has for centuries been olothod in darkness. Koplying to your questions in order; preventive in ocnlation, which has been extensively and successfully used in European coun tries, 1ms been found tho only certain preventive. As in inoculation or vac cination, to prevent smallpox—the An thrax vaccine is carefully prepared and applied, and while producing only a mild fever in the animal, will protect it against contracting the more fatal dis ease. It is not always possible, how ever, to proouro (lie vaccine or to prop erly apply it, whon therefore there oc curs an outbreak of this dread disease among farm animals, those not affected should ho at once removed from the in fected cases and not, as is so often done, left in tho infected quarters, whilo tho si--k are taken out, thus spreading the disease All tho drop pings and refuse in the infected lot should bo burned, and the quarters or stables, thoroughly disinfected by the use of lime, crude carbolic acid or other powerful disinfecting agents. These should bo spread over tho ground, all woodwork given a thorough coat ol a wash composed of lime and water mixed with orudo carbolic acid; J pint of tho acid to about 3 gallons of the whitewash. To prevent the attacks of fleas, which uro industrious dissomina tors of tho disease, make an emulsion as follows and apply to all parts of the animals; hard soap, bj pound, fish oil, 2 gallons. Dissolve the soap in 1 gallon I boiling water, add while still hot add; tho fish oil, stirring constantly until thoroughly mixed and cold. When ap plied, use ono part of this emulsion thoroughly mixed with from 8 to 16 parts of cold water aud apply all over the animal, which can bo (lone he t with a sprayer or a large spougo. All those measures are in tho nature of prevent ives, and so far, seem the most success ful remedies. If un animal could be treated promptly with proper remedies, some oases might b) saved, but the dis ease acts so quickly, that tho suhjeot is edy, the only successful treatment was found to be, not curative, but prevent ive. Of all tho healthy animals, which were vaccinated in tho beginning and received the second iueculntiou, only a small per cent dlod, while, of tho uu- Vaccinated cases, scarcely ouo survived. Work animals wero frtund to bo pecu liarly susceptible to the disease. In re ply toyonrseooud quostion, wogivo the symptoms as taken from a recent bul letin tssuod by tlio Louisiana Experi- nionl Station. JYMIMOMS OF ANTHRAX IN HORSES OR mui.es. High fever, accompanied by chills and convulsive contractions of the muscles, external temperature irregularly dis turbed, mncuous membrane of eyes, uuko aud mouth, dark colored, and weeping sometime* from both eyes. Ex pression sad. The animal is stupefied aud tlte gait is staggoring. In some cases there is cerebral oxcttoinent. Ab dominal pain, which in soino cases is accompanied by a liquid, bloody dis charge from the bowels. Uroathing quickened and laborious. Death, which is indicated by profuso perspiration, oc curs within from six to 30 hours. Re covery is rare. External tumors are developed upon tlio abdomen, ohest-, bl uer surface of the limbs, tho scrotum, external gonitals, etc. This form has a somewhat- slower courso than tlio pre ceding, its average duration bolng from two to throe days. •SYMPTOMS OF ANTHRAX IN IIOOS Enlargement of the throat, iutense fever, copious flow of saliva, nausea, vor/iiting, discoloration of tho mucous membrane of tho mouth, diliicult aud quickened breathing, wheezing and rat tling respiration, etc. Death occurs us a rule by asphyxia. SYMPTOMS OF ANTHR \X IN COWS The aoulo form without external swolliugs is tho most frequent. High temperature, accelerated puiso, (80 to 100 per minute) small aud imperoepti ble. The mucous membranes of the. nose and mouth are rod aud often dark colored. There is sometimes a flow of tears from tho eyes. Weakness ami stupefaction are very pronounced, tlio appoiitots gone and tho animal does not. chew the cud. Tho gait is uncer tain; tremb i ig of the b > - v, especially ♦ho IB-' Mu qu . T„ . -x pressiou of the countenance is very de jected. Sometimes sltnefactiou is re placed by rabiform attacks; (ho patient bellows, scratches tlio ground, pushes against obstacles, oto. T ie gastric trou ble includes constipation, slight bloat ing, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, expu! sion of bloody matter, etc. The urine often contains blood, or is highly stained witli tlie coloring matter of the blood Blood stained liquids may bo emitted from tho nal 11 nil openings, viz: Month, eyos, nostrils, anus, vagina. General siu- pefaction, coma and weakness continue to increase, and death follows in con vulsions within from 12 to 48 hours. Ohariion tumors arc sometimes observed as primary accidents- at other times during the couse of acute or subacute Anthrax. They may appear upon the head, nock, chest, shoulders, abdomen, sheath, milk glands, flanks and limbs. now anthrax is communicated. In order to answer your third question as to how tho disease is communicated, wo must explain something of its nature and peculiar attribute*. In tlio bulletin referred to it is defined us ‘‘a specific power liffeeting animals uud communi cable to man, and whioh is dependent upon tho introduction into tho system of a specific micro-organism, tlio bacillus antliracis. ” Wo aro also told that tlioro are throe recognized ways by whioh tho germ may penetrate into the animal body, viz: 1st, tlio alimentary canal: 2nd, (lie skin; 3rd, the lungs; hut it is exceptional for tho disease to ho traps miffed from a diseased to a healthy uni inal. This bacillus antliracis cannot live without oxygen, which during tlio aui mill's life is supplied through the lung, with every breath Glut is drawn. After death, if the infected animal is at once burn d, and none of the nxore tion-i from the natural or other openings bo allowed to escape, all possibility of infection-from that animal at least is destroyed. But if the carcass is muti lated, or left exposed to the ravages ot carnivorous or other animals, or if tie- body fluids or excromentitious ntaftei containing tint haecilli fcj exposed to the ail or allowed to escape, those organisms coming in contact with the oxygen of the a,1 will form spores which are pro- solved on the surface of vegitation or of the soil itself for an almost- indefinite time. Animals grazing over theso con taminated spots become infected, and grain or forage crops raised 011 suoh places being infected with the spores of tho disease will produce Anthrax when fed in the stable to perfectly well ani mals. It is needless to say that animals feeding on infected carcasses are in turn Infected and become the vehicles for convoying tho disease, not by aotuul ooiituct, but by their droppings and other moans mentioned. Besides tho throe mentioned other animals are liable to tho diseaso, sheep, goats, deer,' cam i els, cats, rabbits, mice, dogs, foxes aud ! fowls. j The drinking water of pastures, or are wnihed by rains into ditohes, ponds, pools, oreeks, etc., and tuny be trans ported great distances, causing sudden and unaccountable outbreaks of this dis ease. Aftor the disease once gains n foothold there oan be no doubt that flies become the chief ugonts for spreading it. Hence the importance of using tho flsli oil emulsion. After sucking the blood of an infected animal, if they alight on a healthy animat for a similar purpose they convey tlio germs of the disease by direct transmission und thus inoculato subject after subject. When those flies, containing Anthrax blood, die, the bacilti may begin to sporutate on the ground, and in this way also con taminate the pasture*. Certain soils are also peculiarly fitted for tho development ANSWERS TO 1 a a Mass* INQUIRIES YV Ori Commissioner Nesbitt’s Ques- I* i»*v«f don*, and it !s tl«n Box For tho Month.

Second, EXTERN A I, OH OARltUNCUEAU ANTHRAX. This condition is usually found where animals having wounds, came iu con tact with the bacteria when lying in in fected pastures, or aro bitten by blood sucking insects, which have been feed ing on infected living or dead animals. Even aftor doath, a diseased animal con tains buccilli, and then, if they are not destroyed, will liy contact with the air form spores whioh do not dneomposo, hut remain iutaot, after tho carcass de composes, aud thus multiply indefinitely the cuuses of disease. For the same rensou haecilli deposited on the soil in tho dropping* of diseased animals, be come prolific snnrcos for the sproad of tho disouso. Tho third form is produced by inhalation or through tho lungs; in this the spores come iu contact with the mucous membtaue of tho air tubes of the lungs. We have replied to your quostion at length, iu ordor to call at tention to the careless methods which have heretofore boon iu common praotice iu regurd to disposing of the bodies of diseased animals. T.10 usual plan has been to dump them at any convenient place in the wood), and leave them to dfioslt their (loath ’eating -orin* Sometimes suoh animals are skiuuod and their hides sold, again multiplying tho chances of infection. BURNING THE 0ARCASSE8 is tlio only effective method of disposing of them in order to prevent infection. Pasteur discovered that even where such bodies were buried, the spores, or gorms of the disease, found their way to the surface through tho agency of our common earth worms. Aftor reach ing the outer air these germs may be disseminated through various modiums, winds, wators, plants, eto. TO BURN ANTHRAX BOpiltS effectually, tho most convenient method, as advised by the Louisiana Experiment Station, whore they havo had consid erable experieuao with the disease and its dire oousoquouces, is to dig a trench similar to a barbecue trench. I11 the oottom place the dry wood uud kind ling, on which u littlo kerosoue may bo poured. Aoross the top of the pit lay a sufficient number of green poles, on which pluoo the carcass. Dry wood aud kindling ruuy be piled above and around, and when the fire is lighted the work is finished expeditiously and thoroughly. Great cars should bo exercised iu hand ling the carcass to provout the o.scupe of blood, fluid or excrement, and all ar ticles coming in direct coutaot witli tho carcass should also be burned. Wo have written at length on this DREAD DISEASE, ANTHRAX, becauso of the receut outbreak of Lou isiana, and because of Beveral sporadic cases, which liave come to our knowl edge. Scientists, in different parts of the country, uro urging tiie importance of taking caro iu those details lest we have introduced among us an epidemic whioh lias heretofore carried off thou sands of the human race, as well as uil numbered hosts of aui-mnls of different kinds.—yftuto Agricultural Department. Tli« Cabbage M nergot. Question.—I had a fine crop of ruta bagas, when in September I noticed they began o wilt and die. Upon ex aminatiou I found a small fly or moth whioh laid the eggs on the Rtems of the plants, and when they hatched the worms or maggots ate their way down tho stems of the plants to the roots, eat ing them also, which of course killed the rutn-bagas. 1 send one of the flies. Tell me the name, aud a remedy for them. Answer.—The cabbage maggot (An thomyia braissiooe) is tho name of the pest which destroyed your ruta-hagas. They aro a two-wifliged fly, and look something like the common house fly. The eggss as you mention, are laid on the stems of the plants, and soon hatch out small whitish maggots. These bur row down the stem* into the earth, and thoro feed on tho roots of the plauts. In irpm 20 to 23 day 1 aJter hatching the maggots pupato, and a few days there after appear as adult flies. There are three or more kiroods eacliseason. Many unsatisfactory remedies liave been sug gested for thia insect. Pea-haps the best 1b tho korosirue emulsion applied about the roots wltieh kill* the maggots. Dr. Riley has suggested the use of slacked lime or ar/tas as a probable remedy.— State >4priooltural Department. Answer.—I had hoped that tho droadod San Joso scale had not yot ef fected a lodgement iu Georgia, but the poach limb that you sunt was pretty well covered with them, and as your treos are dying, they are doubtless iu great numbers in your orchard. Mr. L. O. Howard, entomologist to tho United States Department of Agriculture, speaking of tills insect says: ••Wo wish particularly to impress upon tho minds of fruit growors that as soon us this insect is fonud to occur in au orchard, the most strouuou* meas ures must be takou to stamp it out. No half way measures will suffioe The in dividual must remember that net only aro his own interests vitally at stake, but tlioso of the eutire community iu whioh ho reside*. Trees badly infected should be instantly burned. The indi vidual may think that I10 cannot bear tho loss, but the loss iu oonsequeiioo of tho slightest nogloct will I10 much greater." This pest is most likoly to bn intro duced into .new localities upon nursery stock, bought from iufooted nurseries, aud no fruit grower should introduce into his orchard a single young fruit tree, or cutting, or evon a bud, without being absolutely satisfied that it is free of tlio Sau Jose scale. The female iu- Beet, fortunately, cannot fly, but is sup posed to be curried from tree to tree by the youug lice crawling ou other in sects and birds, and t-liou crawling off when they have lit iu other trees. It is also thought Glut they may be blown from tree to tree by tlio wind. The In sect lios dormant under its scale through tho winter, aud bogius feeding as the weather gets warmer in the spring. During tho latter part of April, or early in May, the females give birth to liviug young in great numbers. These are very minute, orange colored, quite ac tive and without any covering or scale. They run nbout the limbs for a short time, seeking a suitable place ou the bark or leaves iu whioh to insert their suoking tubes. As Boon us they com mence feeding, tho scale or covering be gins to form ovor them, and in abont 30 days the insect is fully developed and begins to bring forth its living young as previously mentioned. Thoy thus con tinue to multiply, brood after brood, until cold weathor commences. Now that this insect has become domiciled in Georgia, it is vory doubtful if it will ever be eradicated, and inaoed it will require the constant caro, and strenuous efforts of the fruit growers to keep them from destroying the orchards. There are hut two remedies for this insect, the ax and whale oil soup thoroughly aud care fully nppliod. Where tho trees are bndly infested out them down and burn without delay. Where not so numerous they may he exterminated by a very curefal application of whale oil soap, which application must be made iu winter, when the tree is not in leaf, and before the buds begin to swell. The soap can be made os follows: Concen trated lye, 8J4 pounds; water, 8 gallons; fish oil, 1 gallon. The lye should be dissolved in boiling water and the oil added while tho former is hot. The boiling should continue two and one- half hours bofore allowing it to cool. The soap thus made should he used at the rate of 2% poun Is to 1 gallon of water, and should he applied warm. The whale oil soap can be purchased for from 5 to 7 cents per pound at wholesale, and it takes about two quarts of the liquid to oover thor oughly a poach or pear tree 3 or 4 years old. The application should be made by spraying, and the nozzle of the sprayer should be so directed, that every portion of each limb should be covered with the liquid. Without the greatest care the application will prove iueffeot ual, for unloss every scale on the tree is covored with the liquid, and a few of the insects escape, they will iufeot the whole tree, the subsequent season. The whale oil soap acts as follows: The caustic potash loosens or softens the scale on the insect, and it is then smoth ered as it were, by the oily material in tho soap. By this, you will see tho ne cessity of covering every scale ou each tree. The advent of this destructive in sect into the state, uloug with many others, almost as bad, impresses upon me, and should especially impress upon all fruit growers in our borders, the im portance of having an entomologist ap pointed by the state, whose entire time should be devoted to investigating and destroying these noxious insects.
