Agricultural Experiment Station
Studies New Sheep Disease; Cause
Yet Undermined By Investigatoi
vt
By R. E. Storms
The Arricultusal - Experiment
Station of Texas has as one of its
main objectives the study oi dis
eases of livistock. The tworfc per
tains not only to finding the caus
es of certain known diseases but
also to studyirif new diseases as
they appear.
Recently a diseased condition in
sheep has manifested itself by con
vulsions of short duration, fre
quent urination, and profressWe
• emaciation with death as the end.
Sheep once attacked by this dis
ease have never been known to
recover. Although the fields have
been scoured for suspicious plants
and the autopeys have all revealed
a kidney lesion, no theory as to
the cause has as yet been advanced.
Likewise, Dr. H. Schmidt, D.V.M..
acting chief of the Veterinary
^ Science Division, has announced the
discovery of a new disease in
cattle very similar to the disease
wKictf^. caused the convulsions in
sheep. This disease manifests it
self in prolonged and sometimes
intermittent scours (inflametion
of the large intestine), the accumu
lation of fluid under the akin in
the regions of the throat, causing
so-called swelling under the jaw,,
and slow progressive emaciation re
sulting in the death of the animal.
This trouble in cattle has become
widespread and is causing ndavy
losses. It has been observed in old
animals as well aa in suckling calv
es about four months old.. Trans
mission experiments and contact
experiments have produced neg
ative results so'far; that is, it has
not been possible to cause this dis
ease either by injecting brain
emulsion from affected sheep into
healthy ones, or by allowing dis
eased ones to graxe with'healthy
ones. i • ’ *
It is hoped, however, that some
day the set of climatic and field
conditions surrounding these dis
eased ayiimats will duplicate it
self and that the cause will again
present itself to prying eyes. If
the cause is discovered, and since
cattlemen will then have a better
chance to combat the trouble, big
savings from death loaaas should
result.

velt if he is a candidate hi 1936.
Approximately three-fourths of
the class hasp forsaken the bache

they are “ben-pecked”. The other
half answered • the . “hen-pecked
