Farmers Warned
Os Listeriosis
In Livestock
Drooping ears and a listless at
titude in cattle and sheep at this
। time of year should alert live
stock raisers that a disease
known as listeriosis may be pres
ent, according to a bulletin today
by the American Foundation for
Animal Health.
Listeriosis appears to be an in
creasing problem in some parts
of the country. The greatest dan
ger season for losses from this
condition extends from Decem
ber through March, Foundation
officials say.
The disease was first reported
in cattle and sheep less than 20
years ago. It, is primarily a brain
inflammation, appearing first as
a fever, followed by indications
of stupor, circling movements,
, drooping of an ear, paralysis of
the jaw and in some cases, in
, flammation of the eye.
“Listeriosis may be more com
! mon than many livestock own
< ers now realize,” the Foundation
I says. “Accurate diagnosis de
| pends upon laboratory isolation
i of the organism which causes the
I disease.”
Veterinarians have reported
j some success in combating lis
teriosis if treatment can be
started early. In an outbreak, the
Foundation advises that affect
ed animals be isolated and the
remainder of the herd scattered
over as large an area as possible.
CAUSES OF FOREST FIRES
More than 798,000 acres of
Georgia forest land burned last
year. Dorsey Dyer forester for
the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice, says fire reports show that
most of the fires were started by
landowners or by some one work
ing for him. He added that the
greatest causes of wild fires are
still carelessness and indifference.

THE LOVE OF RURAL LIVING
I love to walk the cow-path
through the meadow,
And hear the distance bells as
the cows come home,
To hear the sharp milk-stream I
against the vessel
And watch the pails o’er-flow
with airy foam.
At night I love to sit upon the ■
doorstep,
Hear the horse-hoofs clop-te
dop on red day roads,
| And hear the cluck of heavy
loaded wagons
And smell the pungent hay
breath of the load.
I love to bare my head in God's
green pastures;
And watch the new-moon's
growing rimless light,
Lift eyes and heart to Natures
lavish blessings
And the tiny candle that leads
me home at night.
