M4 Shlppinf Finr Strikes In Chanftabli Wiathtr The changeable weather of early spring is a danger season for shipping fever in Ifvestock, veterinarians warn. And when bad weather is coupled with crowded shipping c o n d i t i o n s , i n t e r r u p t e d * f e e d i n g schedules and mishandling, heavy losses are likely to result. Purchasers of replacement stock as well a* those who handle lot shipments are urged to be on constant} guard against this disease, which causes respiratory trouble and blood poisoning. • Pneumonia and paralysis develop in severe cases and death is likely to follow if diagnosis and treatment are delayed. > An unfortunate feature of this disease is that symptoms may not appear until a day -or more after the animal arrives ct its destination. If in the meantime the animal «is allowed to mingle with healthy stock, the others may become infected. Still another danger is the recovered animal, since those which have had shipping fever may remain as carrier*. , v Control measures call for vaccination with bacte/*ins at least two weeks prior to shipment. Serum treatment both before shipment and immediately after arrival is an alternative safeguard. Proper sheltef from bad weather en route, along with regular feeding and watering, also helps to prevent outbreaks. Quarantine of all shippeo animals at destination is a final and highly important precaution, since this keeps them from spreading infection to stock already on the prejiiifip.

Then they should be sturdily staked for the point of union between the graft just above the dwarf roots is vulnerable to breakage.
