More Foot and Mouth Discovered Near Good Hope
MACOMB, NL Aug 25 This morning more foot and mouth disease was found on the Abe Putnam place southeast of Good Hope in the infected district. He has one cow and fifteen hogs. Instead of waiting days the effort is to kill stock the same day the disease is discovered when possible. Men engaged in threshing are digging pits for stock on farms where disease is found. A number leave Good Hope each morning for that purpose and thus good headway is being made. The work of killing pigeons and birds continues unabated and every effort is made to stamp out the disease at once.
