Blood Disease Has Caused Death of Many Horses.

County Agent Barrett had Dr. L. E Northfup, veterinarian, here Tuesday to examine into the cause of the death ol a number of horses in Gillam township and also some in Carpenter. Mr. Barrett estimates that 50 good houses have died in Gillam township in the last year or two from a peculiar malady that has baffled veterinary science It is not contagious but seems to be largely confined to the same part of the county. The deputy who was here Tuesday says that it is in the nature of anemia, a blood disease. The cases will be given the most thorough study in the office of the state veterinarian and it is hoped to stamp the trouble out.
