A Pretty Start.

Away to pretty start, Sinner Simon went out to show the route with the fa- vorite back in fourth position. Passing the stand Sinner Simon and Postmaster Wright were heads apart with Reserva- ton lapped on them and Fore and Aft two lengths back. Going in Landry sent Sinner Simon further out. and with Res ervation quickly following, the two drew away fast Then in the back stretch Barca joined in the chase. Simon had shot his bolt at the half post and Post master Wright took the command length before Reservation, who was neck and neck with Barca. The favorite was fourth, two lengths away, but rounding the turn Henry began to make his play. The colt was cut off several time, and finally at the head of the stretch Henry took him to the outside and he assumed the lead. with Barca at his head and Postmaster Wright close at them.
 Through the stretch it was a stiff argu- ment, but the favorite had a length the best of it at the wire, with Barca two lengths before the Greener colt

DUET OF BILL AND JACK.

Jack: Say Bill! It is SO long have
not shaken your hand that l am at q
loss, whether to address You or greet
you in conventional form or merely in
the old familiar vernacular: How do
you do? l would like to ask: How
is your family, everybody, everything
How are you doing, and, how is your
business?
Bill. Your absence has made you
very inquisitive and suppose you
have lost large part Of familiarity
with things and doings Of former days.
Jack. I have lost all recollection
Of my public school days. They were
SO few and short and 80 monotonous
and uninteresting in my boy
hood that there is scarcely a glimmer
left Of that period.
Bill: Well, Jack during that time
public revenue was very limited; the
science Of creating taxes and tapping
the till had not yet been established.
The value Of . lemon squeeze was un-
known. But today we have the most
skillful past-masters in the art Of
creating revenues and when we and by
we, mean those that represent the
people, want more book learning, all
we have to Dc, is to call ON the profes.
sional local revenue department and
the article is sure to follow.
Jack: am afraid / don't penetrate
the meaning, or the inference and in
'nnedo Of your phrases. This defect
is the result Of neglect Of my younger
days. We only had few upright
holes around which moldy planks had
been hailed and which were then
called school houses. The atmos-
phere and the pressure Of intelligence
in those buildings needed ventilation
and escaped over our heads through
the upright holes. So you see in my
time more stress was laid in not g being
educated, but merely kept from being
too near the hot rays Of ! BLAZING sun,
than in your new tangled theories
Of mind development and discipline

rians or the stock owner in using
this vaccine is sure of getting the
best results obtainable
In the acute forms of anthrax
practically no symptoms are ex-
hibited. The animal dies sud
denly as though striker with
apoplexy. In the secondary
type the disease begins with a
high fever; feeding and chewing
of cud are suspended; chills and
muscular trembling occur, the
animals appear dull and show ex
treme weakness; in the course
of a day or so, the dullness gives
way to uneasiness and the animal
lis constantly champing the jaws;
spasms of the limbs occur and he
kicks and paws the ground !;
breathing is difficult, the nostrels
dilate. the mouth opens; the nose
and mouth become blush, as well
as the rectum and vegna, and
discharges occur containing red
mucous or blood; the blood yes
sells may rupture, and this will
give rise to bloody discharges
from natural outlet; the animal
lies down and death results in
one or two days.
The proper management where
this infection presents itself, or
is known to exist in locality is
First-Immediate vaccination
of all stock, which can be done at
an expense Of about / 5 or 20 cents
per head.
Second-Suspected pastures
should be quarantined and the
food supply changed.
Third-All animals visibly af-
fected must be separated and
guaranteed.
Fourth-Immediate cremation
of the carcasses of all animals
that die. Underno circumstances
must they be allowed to remain
exposed, nor is burying a safe
plan
This course If carefully and
conscientiously observed will not
only check the spread of the dis
ease but will protect those ami
mails that do not already have the
disease, and it permits the sub
sequent grazing of the infected
field without much risk er loss
If these instructions are not fol-
lowed out an epidemic is bound
to result, with a tremendous loss. |
1t is not possible to produce
the disease by vaccinating with |
Charlton or anthrax vaccine any
more thanitis possible to produce
small pox by vaccinating with |
human vaccine. The vaccination
produces immunity which lasts
from six months to one year. The
method OF vaccinating consists
in inoculating with two different |
strengths of the vaccine, mild
and strong. Each animal is in
jected with the vaccine marked
First Injection" followed in ten
days with the vaccine marked
Second Injection" Inasmuch
as anthrax occurs principally in
the early summer season, it is
important to vaccinate at once.
When Charlton or anthrax is
established in the soil of pasture
lands, and especially in sections
where the rivers are OVERLOOKING,
vaccination should be practiced
every spring, before the time ar
rives for using the pasture. In
every instance where case is
it is safe procedure
to have your State or local au-
thOrity make a microscopical ex-
animation, which will definately |
determine the nature of the dis
ease. Baton Rouge Advocate.

THE FOREST SHOULD BE PRO-
TECTED.

Just now the West is witnessing the
devastation caused by rains which,
falling upon deforested region, rush
unhindered down the water sheds,
gathering volume whose force sweeps
everything before it. In the East
the effect Of denudation Of forests is
seen in . prolonged drouth that is
threatening the entire loss of crops
In the West the exceptional rains over
limited areas prevented q recurrence
of the drouths, from which its agricul-
ture frequently suffers. In the stat
ues Of the nation stands premium Of
%. 90 q, thousand TO those who will ex-
terminate our forests Of fine and hard
woods, while another additional pre-
MUM is added in case an exporting
country laying m export duty on the
products Of its forests Even the pop
.ular and spruce, which may be used
in making paper, are not exempt from
this law whose effect, whatever this
purpose is to facilitate the undestruc-
tion Of forests that retain rainfall and
prevent either extreme Of flood drouth.
Congress should promptly make some
provision for the protection OF the
forests 1t the headwaters Of onr
streams, otherwise within very few
years the country will suffer damages
from which it will take a hundred
years to recover. Much Of the
los Of life and property in the floods
o. the past few weeks can be traced
directly to the denudation Of the for
osts.

Fatal TO LIVE STOCK.

| One of the most fatal dis
eases that attack horses, mules
cattle, sheep and goats is charbol
or anthrax. This disease is alst
known as spleni fever, blood
striking, bloody murrias, ane
by the Germans, as Milzbrand
The diseases is communicable tx
man from handling the hides
wool or carcases of the infected
animals.
Charlton is caused by the bac
elias Anthracis. It Is long lived
even under unfavorable condi
tons, and develops rapidly. The
conditions of the animal body are
most favorable to the rapid
growth of these germs, but they
grow equally as well outside the
animal body, injecting the pas
turage, where the disease per-
sists for years.
While Charlton is found all over
the world, the most serious cpl
denies occur in the section of the
United states, along the line of
the Mississippi river and its
tributaries. Oreelman reports
that anthrax has been epidemic in
in Mississippi and Louisiana at
intervals since 1886. At Como in
1894 thousands of all kinds OF
live stock persisted, and many
people contracted the disease and
died. The anthrax germ reaches
the body through the food and
through scratches and sores in
the skin; it is necessary there
fore to keep briers and under
brush down as much as possible.
A grave of animals that have
died of anthrax may keep the
pasture infected for ten or twelve
years and stream of running
water near such will carry
the infection in its entire|
course, and fodder or hay COM
ing from the locality will carry
the disease. Cattle being driven
through districts where anthrax
or Charlton exists or has existed,
are liable to contract the disease.
A sick or dead animal will infect
The whole heard, and if the great
est care ID not taken the entire
section of the country will be in
fected.
While there il no cure for an
thrax, the disease is positively
prevented and danger of con-
tagion stopped by vaccination

khrax vaccine. The make that

CRIBS IN THE WRONG PLACE.

We may talk about scientific farming
and diversified crops; we may teacl
agriculture and scatter fertilizer al
over the State, but until the Louis
lana farmer has his smoke house ant
crib on his own plantation, Louisiana
farming is doomed to failure. If the
smoke house and corn crib remain
located in the west, the title to the
farm is most likely to be the name OF
John Smith q Company. commits
| sion merchant and furnishers of sup
plies -
Right here to-day, every furnishel
of supplies and wholesale grocery
house j this city is receiving car
loads upon car loads of corn, meat and
hay for use of our farmers.
A single, new small store sold three
hundred sacks of western corn i'll a
single day i'll the early part Of the
week and could have sold as much
more if he had been fortunate enough
to have it ON hand. What we don t
know about farming would fill an
agricultural library, but there are
some patent business facts that even
a newspaper man, though fool, can
see and appreciate. Corn will sell i'll
the local market along about the
close of the year from 40 to GO cents
a barrel, and few months later, To-
cal farmers will pay freight from the
west and double the price of the same
article.
Our commission merchants are grow
ing rich ont the profits of corn and salt
meat they sell to the planters of the
parish and district. Cotton may vary
in price, and sugar may go into the
trust, but mules and men will require
meal as sure as fate and yet cotton
and sugar will be raised in abundance
while meal, meat and hay will be
supplied by Yankee farmers. II seems
strange, but it is none the less true,
that all will admit the truth of the
foregoing argument while few profit
by it.
One of the first lessons to teach in
agriculture is to buy nothing that
can be raised at home Until this
lesson is well learned, science might
