Black leg, an infectious transmissable disease affecting young cattle, has been found prevalent on Marsh Creek. The cattle most commonly affected are from six months to two years of age. Black leg might be termed a sectional disease occurring in certain districts, and people keeping cattle in districts where the dis. ease has manifested itself should be on their guard as to the outbreaks the fol lowing year, It usually occurs in acute form, ani- mals dying in from ten to forty hours af- ter contracting the disease. In some ex. treme cases animals linger three to four days. This disease has never made its ap~« pearance in Penns or Brush Valleys, Farmers should be careful not to pur. chase cattle in any way exposed to this disease, for when once established in a comm unity it is exceedingly difficult to eradicate it.
