LIVE STOCK INDUSTRY MENACED
BY DISEASE OF FOOT AND MOUTH
Disinfection of Premises After Slaugh ter of Animals Affected With Foot-and
Mouth Disease—This Method la Also Used in Control of Other Diseases.
{Prepared by the United State* Department
of Agriculture.)
The live stock Industry of the United
States is constantly menaced by un In¬
vasion by foot-and-mouth disease, a
plague with which our producers and
State and federal governments have
had costly experience on a number of
occasions. Tills disease, produced by
the smallest of germs, is one of tlie
most highly infectious and serious dis¬
eases affecting cloven-footed farm ani¬
mals, and when Introduced Into a coun
try spreads with great rapidity. Should
the disease appear In the United
States, It would seriously interrupt the
business of marketing, transporting,
feeding and slaughtering' and cause
great losses to owners of live stock.
It is beyond possibility of eradication
with the present methods employed in
most countries of continental Europe,
and England Is Just getting her most
recent outbreak under control. The
only countries on the other side of the
Atlantic from which live stock may
now be shipped to this country are
Scotland and the islands of Guernsey
and Jersey.
Greatest Danger to Industry.
But, perhaps, the greatest danger to
the Industry In this country lies In
the presence of the disease in South
America, Central America, and Jamai¬
ca. Constant vigilance on the part of
the United States Department of Ag¬
riculture Is maintained to prevent the
Importation of diseased animals or ma¬
terial that might carry the Infection
within our borders. The organization
for providing this protection for our
live stock resources is Inconspicuous
so long as no drastic action Is neces¬
sary, but a well-organized array of
veterinarians and other employees of
the department and of state live Stock
sanitary bodies is ready to take arms
against the Insidious invader at prac¬
tically a moment’s notice.
In the words of Dr. John It. Mohler,
chief of the bureau of animal Industry,
“the bureau has not only Instructed
its Then In the necessary procedure In
the event of another outbreak, but it
has selected certain experienced men
to 1111 definite assignments in the varl

Disease.
ous phases of quarantine and eradica¬
tion work. A list of these men and the
work they are to do is on file at Wash¬
ington so that within an hour after
the disease makes its appearance in¬
structions can be telegraphed to these
regular and reserve officers of the dis¬
ease-defense army and the work of
combating the destroyer will begin at
once. The states have been urged to
mak^v similar preparations." A book
of instructions as to the procedure in
all aU phases of the work is in the supply hands
of chief inspectors and a Is
in reserve for emergency use.
Tfibse Statements are not made with
the then of creating alarm, hut to ns
sureS’armers and breeders and others
interested that the sources from which
foot-Snd-mouth disease might come are
well akiioVra,' that the avenues of pos¬
sible^ introduction are being watched,
and shat the country is prepared to
checkmate the Invader wherever and
whenever e^ierience he may appear. As a result
of this country has learned
that*tlie drastic method of quarantine,
slaughter, and disinfection of premises
is tjie quickest, safest, and most
economical. Countries which have
temporized with it as a result are
suffering permanent and continuous
losses.
Close Watch on Mexico.
Mexico, although the disease has not
been reported as existing there, Is
hulked upon as a convenient bridge
between Guatemala, a country which
has reported the presence of the
plague, and our southwestern border.
For that reason representatives of the
bureau of animal industry are keeping
* close watch on live stock and other

lmports from that country. Until re¬
cently cattle were shipped from Guate¬
mala by rad into southern Mexico. Ai
thougli Honduras bas not admitted the
presence of the disease there, Guate¬
mala considers this next-door neigh¬
bor the source of the infection that Is
now causing her losses.
Jamaica is another of our near
neighbors which has foot-and-mouth
disease In epizootic form. The chief
stock sanitary official of that Is¬
land has said that at. first a false re¬
port as to diagnosis was given out lie
cause a knowledge of the true nature
of the disease “would be bad for ex¬
port trade." Before the disease on the
Island had been definitely diagnosed,
several shipments of hides and skins
which arrived In New York city were
refused entry because the chief of the
bureau of animal industry was sus¬
picious that the epizootic disease in
Jamaica could he none other than foot
and-mouth disease, These hides and
skins were thereupon returned to
Jamaica. Another shipment of skins
reached New York destined for Mon¬
treal. The Department of Agriculture,
In conformity with a “gentleman’s
agreement” with Canada, notified the i
minister of agriculture at Ottawa and
this. shipment was alsc held up and i
had to be returned to Jamaica. :
With this dangerous plague menac¬ !
ing one of our great Industries from so
many places, It is Important that not |
only the federal and state officials j
keep close watch, hut that everyone In¬ I
terested In live stock production or j
mnrlceting Immediately report sus¬
picious cases, as there must he no
delay in taking prompt action should
the disease appear.
USE WHEAT DOCKAGE
AS FEED FOR STOCK
Foreign Material Was Removed
at Threshing Time.
Makes Excellent Substitute for High
Priced Oats and Other Grains—
Clean Wheat Brings Higher
Price on Market.
(Prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
Enough coarse foreign material, or
dockage, to feed ten cows and ltd
horses for seven months was removed
from the wheat grown on a North
Dakota farm In 1021, according to in¬
formation received by the United
Slates Department of Agriculture.
The foreign material was removed
from the wheat at the time of thresh¬
ing with an experimental grain re¬
cleaner tested by It. II. Black, In
charge of grain-cleaning Investigations
for the department. The foreign ma¬
terial was finely ground before feed¬
ing so ns to kill the germs of the
weed seeds.'
The owner of the farm had previ¬
ously sold his wheat “in the dirt" at
his local elevator and had received
nothing for the foreign material In
the grain. Moreover he had been
compelled to use high-priced oats and
other grains for feed for Ills live
stock. By cleaning his grain and
grinding the dockage in 1021, lie ob¬
tained fairly good feed at practically
no cost.
“Another inducement to clean grain
on the farm is that clean grain will
usually bring a higher price In the
market than grain which contains
dockage,” Mr. Black says.
Various types of cleaning machines
and methods of cleaning grain on the
farm are described In Farmers’ Bulle¬
tin 12S7, Foreign Material in Spring

I. The Walk of Two Discouraged
Disciples (vv. 13-15).
Ernmaus was seven and one-half
miles northwest of Jerusalem. Just
why they were walking this way we do
not surely know. Perhaps their home
was there, or they were merely walk¬
ing to seek relief from their stunning
sorrow, if they bad believed what
Jesus told them about His death and
resurrection they would tiuve escaped
this great disappointment. Unbelief
causes many heartaches and disap¬
pointments. One of these disciples was
Cleopas, but the other is unknown.
The topic of conversation was the
tragedy of the cross and the resurrec¬
tion rumors. .So little had His teach¬
ing about Ills resurrection impressed
them that the reports which the wom¬
en brought were as idle tales to them.
If they had believed what He said
about coming forth front the grave
they would have been expecting to
hear just such reports us were being
circulated.
II. The Unrecognized Companion
(vv. 10-24).
1. Who He Was. Jesus. While they
reasoned together ort the wonderful
events of the last few days on this
journey, Jesus joined them. Even when
He questioned them concerning their
sadness they did not recognize Him.
Many times we are so taken up with
our sorrows and disappointments that
we do not recognize Jesus though
walking by our side. Ilow grieved
He must he to be unrecognized as He
walks by us in our sorrows and trials.
2. Ills Question (v. 17). Perceiving
their sadness and perplexity He sought
to help them by calling forth a state¬
ment of their grief. This question sur¬
prised them and caused them to Infer
that He was a stranger In Jerusalem,
The condemnation and crucifixion of
the great prophet of Nazareth were so
recent and notorious that no one they
thought, who had lived in Jerus l oH-m,
could be ignorant of them. One valu¬
able aspect of the unbelief of the dis¬
ciples was that it revealed the fact
that they were not credulous enthusi¬
asts but hard to convince. Out of this
incredulity developed the unshaken
faith in the word of the resurrection.
III. The Scriptures Opened (vv. 25-
85).
1. Ills Rebuke (v. 25). He did not
rebuke them for not believing the
strange stories they had heard, but for
ignorance and lack of confidence in
tlie Old Testament Scriptures. They
had accepted only such parts of the
Old Testament as suited their notions.
Men and women who do not believe
all that the Scriptures say, especially
about the work of the blessed Savior,
are entirely blameworthy. The very
center and heart of the Old Testament
Scriptures is the death and resurrec¬
tion of Christ. It Is Ignorance of the
Scriptures and unbelief of the wonder¬
ful and complete redemption wrought
by Christ that robs us of many joys, ;
and power and efficiency ns workers
for Christ. Christ will be the teacher
of all who will open their hearts unto
Him.
2. Jesus Recognized (v. 31). While
sitting at meat with the disciples their
eyes were opened ns they saw Him
bless the bread and distribute it to
them. We, too, can see the Lord on
such common occasions ns eating a
meal if we have open eyes. Indeed
we ought to see Him when eating, sell¬
ing, buying and In our recreations for
lie lias promised us His presence.
IV. The Effect Upon the Disciples
(vv. 32-35). They were so tilled with ]
joy over this revelation of the Savior
that they hastened back to Jerusalem
to tell the other disciples of the word
of Hts resurrection. Those who have
had the Scriptures opened to them
touching the death and resurrection of
Christ cannot help but hasten to make
it known to others.

ness In speaking; It Is a sign of Ignor¬
ance not to know that long speeches,

appropriating God's mercies, misusing
their sacred privileges, and woefully
neglecting His house, His worship, and
what was still worse, dishonoring Him
In many ways, one of which our text
calls attention to.
God’s controversy here Is not that
men should honor their fathers or fear
their musters less, nor that they
should have less virtues In any or
every relation of life, but that in dis
tributing these virtues He should not
be slighted or made the only excep¬
tion. To the human heart it Is a
subtle temptation to substitute the
many virtues It exercises toward
others for its direct duties and obliga
tlons toward God. It says: “On the
whole I’m doing pretty well. I some¬
times get angry and swear; but then,
I am perfectly honest. It Is true that
I work on Sunday, when 1 am particu¬
larly busy; but, on the other hand, I
give a good deal to the poor and I
never was drunk In my life.” Thus it
averages matters with the Lord and
persuades Itself that God will accept
the substitute. But this is Just what
our text emphatically disclaims:
Tlie discharge of our responsibility
In every other relation In life not only
does not lessen God's demand for prop¬
er regard toward Him, but Intensifies
It. He will not be honored or served
by proxy. No Indirect attention will
satisfy Him. Doing one’s duty to
everyone else does not discharge one's
obligations before God. This Is a very
fascinating, but nevertheless fatal de
luslon Into which many are falling
these days.
Deep conviction of sin is becoming
rare, and Increasingly so, as the age
advances. Sin Is no longer viewed In
the light of God’s awful holiness as a
coming short In our personal relation to
Himself or obedience to His expressed
will. Character preaching Is substitut¬
ed for Christ preaching, though one Is
not the same as the other, never has
been and never will be, for the simple
but sufficient reason that preaching
Christ Is scriptural and leads to re¬
generation, while character preaching
Is unscrlpturnl and, more often than
not, ends with a miserable substitute
for regeneration, namely, reformation.
On this account It Is not only tllfll
cult but well nigh Impossible to con
vlnce men that the very virtues of
which they are so proud can, and
often do, constitute a great Insult to
God.
It Is generally conceded that the in
corrigible, the desperately wicked,
and such are a disgrace to mankind, a
blot on the fair escutcheon of man¬
hood and womanhood. The dreadful
words of Revelation 28:8 are felt to
be reasonable. But that the apparent
ly good, the loving, the virtuous and
the benevolent of mankind should be
bound together In the same bundle
with the disreputable of society mere
ly because they do not savingly rely on
the Lord Jesus Christ and do not give
Him His proper regnrd seems incom
prehenslble. Why cannot these human
virtues stand in the place of loyalty
and allegiance to Christ?
Let us suppose we have nil these
tender affections and excellent virtues
that men are so prond of. Does not
that very fact make more heinous the
dreadful slight we give God? Is not
He made the only exception, the" only
parent dishonored, the only master
wronged? If men were incapable of
doing their duty in tlie other relatlon
ships of life, God would not expect
them to fto right toward Him. “If ye
were blind ye should have no sin, hut
now ye say we see, therefore your sin
remalneth.” It ts a fearful thing
when our virtues turn upon us and
condemn us. Every reasonable man
knows the value of being and doing
right, and far be it from me to despise
a single virtue In anyone. Indeed, if
I had the power I would be glad to
confer more. Nevertheless to possess
them and exercise them In every other
respect except toward God makes this
sin of neglect Inexcusable.
If you have thus been treating the
Lord Jesus Christ, cease the practice
and give Him His rightful place in
your thoughts and affections. "Render
to Caesar the things that are Caesar's,
and to God the things that are God's.”
-Mark 12:17.
Giving God Honor.
There is no other way to honor Goa
out by recognizing His presence in
the world and His right to reign over
it. Prayer is a form of that recogni¬
tion. AU worship Is a form of it. Rev¬
erence, charity, friendship, are forms
of It. The love of Nature with a heart
that sees beyond the visible gratitude
for the gifts of life, is among the finest
forms of this recognition.
