 Plum Island Animal Disease Center, USDA
That issue of "American Farmer," published in Baltimore on a steamy July day in 1825, went on to report that bewildered farmers were finding their animals lame, the fleshy part in the division of the hoof "sore entirely through," and, worse still, "the disease appears to be contagious."
As recently as June of this year, a suspicious livestock disease outbreak in Arizona and New Mexico had federal and private veterinarians scurrying for confirmation that the problem at hand was not the foot-and-mouth virus, but its copycat cousin, vesicular stomatitis.

 Poetry Daily Feature: Julie Sheehan - Orient Point
Nests woven of bird guides and self-help books, legal argot and street slang, Whitman's long-lined grass, and the sway, jangle, juxtaposition, joy, and far-flung syntax of the vast field of English going back to its gnarly old roots in Chaucer – all populate Julie Sheehan's exuberant poems.
Sheehan's poems are concerned with navigation and with choice; with how to live in an increasingly urbanized, global, technological world; with how to orient oneself as, for example, a woman in a still largely patriarchal society; and with how to make moral choices when the options seem either rich to embarrassment or shamefully narrow.
'Ghazal: Orient Point,' and the longer 'Archaic Smile,' exemplify in particular both the energies of her language and the range of knowledge she brings to the construction of a poetic world."
