Mammitis in cows, A. Lanfranchi {Clin. Vet. [Milan], 28 (1905), No. /". 

 57). — A study of mammitis in cows led the author to the conclusion that in certain 

 cases this disease may he due to Micrococcus (elragenus septicusov M. tetragenus albus. 

 The symptoms ami pathological anatomy of the disease vary somewhat according to 

 the extent of infection and the micro-organism concerned in the case. 



Specific arthritis of lambs (Jour. /.'</. Agr. [London], 11 1905 . No. 11, .

Results of further experiment with nodule disease of the intestines of 

 sheep. "Bare-lot" method of raising lambs, \Y. II. Dalrymple (Louisiana 

 stns. Hiil. 88, S. 8< /•., /v. 16, figs. / ). — Lambs were allowed to run with the ewes in bare 

 lots from w hich all vegetation had been removed. The ewes w ere f< «1 by the Boiling 

 method. The lambs were kept with the ewes till they were ready to he i<<\ f< r 

 market. Water was supplied in a wooden trough. 



Ill the ex pel-ill lent 9 ewes and 6 lainhs were placed in One bare lot. Only 3 of the 



lambs became infested, and these so slightly thai the lambs did not loose flesh or 

 condition. The greatest numberof (Esophagostoma columbianum found in any lamb 



Was •"-. All of the '.» ewe- were infested with the worm- at the beginning of tl 



It i- concluded, therefore, that it is possible by the bare-lot method to raise the lambs 

 of ewes affected with nodule disease of the intestines without serious danger of infesta- 

 tion. The method i- so -imple that it may he used successfully by the average sheep 

 man. It may be well, however, to use some effective vermifuge in connection with 

 the bare-lot method.
