During the past week a great many cows and oxen have died in this vicinity, especially along the waters of Spring Creek, from a disease known as the murrain. In view of the fact that the disease still continues to afflict the cattle, we will repeat what was told to us by an old Texan stock raiser – it being the remedy used by him with beneficial results. As soon as symptoms of murrain appear, procure a tub or trough, and put into it about two gallons of warm water, to which add one-half pound of salt and one quart of wheat-bran; stir well, and give it to the afflicted animal. Repeat the same, as often as the animal will partake of it, or until all symptoms of the disease have disappeared. In case the preparation is refused, suffer the animal to have no water, and thirst will compel it to drink of the mixture. One thing is sure, the remedy of the old ranchero can do no harm, and it may do some good.
