PROTECTING HORSES. +.

The Value of the Prompt and Efficient
ture.
To the Editor / desire through your
paper to state that the outbreak of infec-
tious pneumonia in Mr.. W. G. Osburn's
stable at Summerfield, n c.. is under
control and the quarantine raised. The
disease was kept confined to Mr.. Os-
burns stable by the kind and speedy ac-
ton of the North Carolina Board of
Agriculture for had the Board not or
dered the stable quarantined and disin-
fected the disease would no doubt have
made wide spread which would have
resulted in much loss to the horse own
ers Of the State and especially this sec
ton.
May the Board live long as it is one
of the most essential organizations i'm our
State to the promotion of stock interests
for in this outbreak alone it has saved
thousands Of dollars to our farmers for
should it have gained Roadway and not
been checked when it was first proven to
be infectious we would have had re-
petition of the outbreak of the same
disease commonly known as "Epizootic"
some years ago from which the State sus-
tanned heavy loss.
Allow me to extend the thanks of the
horse owners Of this section of the Board
for the interest shown in the protection
of our faithful friends (the horse.)
Yours truly,

Should One Sleep Alter Eating!

We would not now revert to this
oft-discussed question to give anyone's
theoretical views or personal belief in
the matter, or to bring forward the
familiar argument, that because ami
mails sleep just after they have eaten,
hence the human animal should do the
same, says the Medical Record. Doc.
tor Schulz, of Fr:bourg, has, however,
approached the subject from the
chemico-experimental side, and his re-
suits are worthy of record Having
analysed the stomach's contents in two
normal subjects a few hours after
meals, some of which were followed by
sleep and others not, he finds that
sleep has for its constant effect the
weakening of the stomach's mobility,
and at the same time there is an in
crease in the acidity of the gastric
juice. On the other hand, simple re-
pose in the horizontal position stimu-
lates the motive function of the stom.
ach, but does not increase the acIdity
of gastric juice. The conclusion is
hence reached that, while one should
stretch himself out for rest in the
horizontal decubitus after n hearty
meal, he should resist the tempting
Morpheus, especially if there be pres
ent dilated state of the stomach or
if its juices be hyperacid.
