Farms Are Quarantined.

Members of the 'lllinois state livestock commission believe they have checked the danger of an epidemic from anthrax among the cattle of Palatine, 111. The farms of the men who are believed to have had infected cattle have been quarantined, and the extermination of the disease has been left in the hands of Floyd Gibbs, a veterinary surgeon. Henry Derthorn and Joseph Kltson, who were made ill from taking care of the Infected cattle, were said to be in a much improved condition.
