Improvement.

PAss-A-L' OrTEE, March l., 1915.
Editor Of New Orleans bulletin:
When theory and practice fail to affair
what IS universally desired, an effective chan
mel to commerce, it seems but lust to examine
the causes, which | will endeayor to disclose
IN subsequent article. For the present,
beg lave through your columns, to reflect
aud toreahadoW the points which follow
la 1888, direct after Capt Talcotts failure
to dredge the East Pass, the delta of the Mis-.
sls-lppl River became my home, and the pa S.
es AID bars my tavorite hobby Convinced
by substantial evidence thst the South Pass
would eventually be deepened to twenty feet,
notwithstanding all opposition. | wrote the
| appended article, which appeared in the New
| Orleans Times.
My present opinion, formed from knowledge
founded on experience and experiments
before and since 1863, is that the scheme Of
deepening either of the bars at the mouth of
the MISSISSIPPI River to thirty feet Will prove
al expensive delusion. Expecting this result
It may not be improper to locate a ship canal
which in my humble opinion will secure the
best harb Rs, and the only practicable deep
water exit to the sea, dlseucumberei from
locks jetties, aud continual dredging. The
situation: Between Alex and the telegraph
station, Southwest Pass, In a westerly direc-
llOH THOUGH Inc man lana not over tive
hundred yards wide to point in West BAY
zone or the best road7teads known where
ship Nindalia rode in seven fathoms water
last winter, lies the site for canal not ex
ceedlng one and half miles in length that

has heretofore been the rule, thanks to coo
operation Of the Administrator of Commerce
and City Surveyor.
The finances of the city are At. so low an
ebb that the Administrators are unable to
build or put in order the wharves, so as to
enable ships to discharge and load their
cargoes. These enterprising firms have
agreed to advance the city SIS. 900 without

from said vessels. 1t is understood that when
the IN )ney SO advanced. say So. OO0. is re.

resume entire control of the wharyes,
we notice also that Mr.. Joseph Cooper has
obtained from the city Post % for the use of
his vessels and others. Mr.. Cooper. with
Characteristic liberalty, proposes to put the
wharf IN perfect order at his own eynense |
and keep i. in order for a term of wears. All

vessels az said wharf. The levee dues for
each vessel are to be collected by the CITY and

TREATMENT OF DISTEMPER IN DOGS.

The symptoms of distemper, as the
complicated they admit of no positive
arrangement, being both eccentric in
their order and appearances. Redness
of the eyes, with discharge from both
eyes and nose, accompanied with ordi-
nary signs of illness, are the early
indications but even these are not to
be sought for, or expected in any single
form. The judgment must be exercised,
and study strengthened by experience
will alone enable any man to pronounce
the presence of distemper in many cases ;
while, perhaps, without knowledge or
practice any person may recognize it in
the generality of instances
The treatment is rendered the more
difficult because of the insidous nature
of the disorder, and the uncertain char
acter of its symptoms; under such cir
cumstances, it is no easy task to make
perfectly clear those instructions | am
about to give. am in possession of
no specific; do not pretend to teach
bow to conjure; am going only to lay
down certain rules which, if judiciously
applied, will tend to take from this dis
ease that fatal reputation which it has
hitherto acquired. l shall be obliged,
however, to leave much to the discretion
of the reader; for it would employ too
great a space, did l attempt to make
provision for all possible accidents and
probable combinations.
The diet is Of all Importance, it must
be strictly attended to. In the first
place, meat or flesh must be withheld.
Boiled rice, with little broth from
which the fat has been removed, may
be the food for weakly animal. but for
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1875-02-06

the majority bread and milk will be
sufficient whichever is employed must
be given perfectly cold. Sugar, butter,
sweet biscuits, meat, gravy, greens, tea
or pot liqror-either luxurles or trash,
must be scrupulously denied in any
quantity, however small. Skim milk,
if perfectly sweet. is to be preferred,
and coarse bread or ship biscuits are
better than the same articles of finer
quality. These will form the diet, when
the dog can be brought to accept them
and to rice, the favorite (however great
may be the pity he elcits, or however
urgent may be his solicitations for
more liberal fare) must be rigidIy con-
fined. If after few trials, the dog
stubbornly refuses such provender, meat
must of necessity be given, but 1t should
be of the very best description, and
rather underdone. OF this kind, it
ought to be minced, and mixed with so
much rice or ship biscuit as the animal
can at first be made to eat with it; the
rice or biscuit may then he gradually
increased; and in the end the vegetable
substance will constitute, at all events,
the major part of the support. Water,
constantly changed "a circumstance too
little attended to where dogs are con-
cerned), must be the only drink; the
bed must be warm and dry, but airy.
Cleanliness cannot be carried to too nice
an extent; here the most fastidious
attention is not out of place. Let the
kennel be daily cleared, and the bed
changed at least thrice week; straw
or hav is better for the dog to sleep
upon than cushions or blankets, which
being more expensive, are not so fire.
quently replaced Too much hay or
straw cannot be allowed; but on the
other hand, it is difficult to regulate the
quantity of the finer articles. In the
last kind of bed the animal is often
almost smothered, or else he scrapes
them into lump, and lies shivering on
the top; whereas, when he has straw
to lie upon, he can either creep beneath
it and shelter himself when sensible of
cold, or expose himself to the air when
oppressed by the fever The sensations

he dog. as much as possible, capable
of obeying its instinct; but always let
he bed be ample, as during the night
the shivering generally prevails, and
he cold fit is entirely independent of
he heat to be felt at the skin, or the
temperature of the season. Let the
dog be kept away from the fire, for if
permitted, it will creep to the hearth,
and may be injurnd ty the falling sin
,ers, when the burn will not perhaps

place is to be selected. one protected
from wet, free from damp, and not
exposed to wind or draught. The ken
mel, if properly constructed, is the bet
Ter house, for dogs do best in the open
air; the only objection to which is, the
chance it offers of the animal being
drenched with rain. If the kennel can
be placed under an open clubhouse, |
should always have it put there.
