>[ay 1!). — Found so-called cerebrospinal meningitis (forage ])oisouing") 



of horses on farm of Mr. J. W. J , Flowerficld. Out of 1-3 horses 



on farm, owner had lost 5 in the past two weeks and 2 were slightly 

 affected at this time. About two weeks pre^•ious to this, the ownier 

 began feeding hay that had grown on very low groimd. The hay Avas 

 aitjiai-ently good. He was feeding corn on Ihe cob. some of wliidi was 

 very slightly damaged. I suggested to him to get other hay and shell 

 the corn and float off the decayed and moldy grains on water, also 

 that each animal affected should have a purgative. About one month 

 lat«M' I heard, indirectly, that he had had no more trouble. 



It is interesting to note that in both cavses of this trouble investigated 

 by the writer (see case referred to under date of Jan. 30) the symptoms 

 and lesions observed correspond very closely to those obseiwed in the 

 so-called Kansas Disease. Evidently the cause in each of these cases 

 was the feed. 



May 30.— Investigated disease of cattle on farm of Mr. H , 



^It. Pleasant. OAvner had lost 3 out of a herd of 21. Symptoms and 

 k'sions of cattle described by local veterinarian led us to suspect 

 licmorrhagic septicemia. At the time of my visit there were no affected 

 animals in the herd, consequently a diagnosis was not made.
