Bill Crowdy, a heavy, squat figure of a man, shifty-eyed, with hard mouth and a nervous, restless air, came down a long hallway, smoking a cigarette. His eyes rested with no uncertain dislike upon Judith's eager face. "I'm Crowdy," he said. "Want me?" "I told Masters to tell you to stop the sulphur treatment for the lung-worm calves. Hasn't he told you?" "Mr.
Then from her own nook by the fireplace she opened her heart to him: "It's not just that Trevors has crippled me by taking all of my milkers away; not just that he has come near doing I don't know how much harm in having Crowdy turn those calves with the lung-worm out into the fields with the others; not just that during the last few months, he has lost money for us right and left; not just that Benny, the cook, has tried to fire the range."
The treatment of lung-worm diseases in lambs and calves is largely preventive. We should use every possible precaution against introducing the infection into the herd or flock. It is not advisable to bring animals from an infected herd onto the premises, without subjecting them to a careful examination and a long quarantine before allowing them to stable or pasture with the other animals.
An attempt was made to spread the lung-worm through my calves. Now it's the hogs. Do you know what the latest news is from the pens? There's cholera among them." "Where did it come from?" he demanded. "Tripp's been keeping the health of our stock up right along." "Where did it come from?" Judith repeated after him. "That's what I don't know. We've been so careful.
There were some fine men in the hospital and next to Mac lay Mick. He was a Light Horseman, and Mac made a cobber of him. "Chest's me trouble touch of t.b. the Doc says. I cough away some of these nights like a sheep with lung-worm.
"He's down in the hospital and the hospital phone is out of order." "And you're an electrician, hanging around for orders! That's your first job. Send the first man you can get your hands on to tell Crowdy I say not to touch one of those calves with the lung-worm. And not to do anything else but get ready to talk with me. I'll be down in half an hour."
"We've got to make out!" exclaimed Judith. "We've got to beat that man Trevors, Charlie, and do it quick. If he'll try to keep us short-handed, if he'll spend money to do it, if he'll do a trick like giving sulphur for lung-worm and then send infected stock out into the herds, I don't know just where he will stop unless we stop him."
Tripp looked a her keenly. "This case of lung-worm, to begin with: where did it come from?" "Imported," said Tripp. "Trevors bought those calves, or at least four of the sick ones, last month. Brought them in from somewhere down the river. Smuggled 'em in, so far as I am concerned. Never gave me a chance to look them over." He paused a second. "Specially imported, I might say."
