HOW TO WATER A HORSE.

Articles written by the English
veterinarian, Pately Bridge, are al.
ways practical and instructive In
the London Farm and Home he dis
cusses the watering of a horse. about
which there is so much conflict OF
opinion, as follows:
Writing recently concerning a re.
current case of collie in a gelding,
Potter" said. 81 think the driver
gives him water after his feed" This
suggest the common theory that
when water is given to horse after
feeding, especially after the consump.
ton OF grain, the food becomes wash
ed out Of the stomach before it has
been properly digested.
Watering horses IL a subject Of con.
siderable Importance in connection
with the every day management OF
the animal, and has a distinct bearing
on the digestion of its food and the
occurance Of diseases associated with
failure to do SO. There are horse
owners and responsible servants who
have got their own ideas as to the
best and proper time 10 water, and
while a majority believe that horses
should be Watered before feeding, AID
practice it, there are some who are
equally certain that feeding should
precede watering. Others there are
who think it does not matter so that
the watering is regular.

Sign of the Three Balls.

The three balls used by pawnbrokers
are the symbol of St. Nicholas. There is
a legend to the effect that the saint once
offered three purses Of gold to three
women to enable them to marry. The
purses of those days were small bags,
which when tied at the top to keep in the
coins somewhat resembled balls.

Some burglar or burglars paid
the village OF Love a visit last

only two buildings did they OBJ

and of the acreage Of country property
from $40. 90 and $3.50 per acre to

and urged all present to greater exer-
tion in carrying out the rules and reg

fumigation day, but did not suggest
any date therefor, his remarks were
replete with good sense and good logic
! and wes very favorably received. Mr.,

brilliant speeches, emphasizing the fact
that politics should not be allowed tt

SCREEN YOUR CISTERNS.

Last Thursday night the City Coun-
Gil passed an ordinance providing 1or
the compulsory screening OF all CTS
terms within the corporate limits OF
New Iberia. Those who refuse or
neglect to comply with this ordinance
will have the work done for them by
the City and charged against the prop
erty, besides being liable to arrest and
fine. This is something definite and
tangible and will be Of general bene-
at. Heretofore those who pleased to
do 80 screened their cisterns and those
who did not, were allowed to go on the
even tenor of their way. We trust the
ordinance will be rigidly and impair
tally enforced with no dilly dallying
sr temporising. Unless the ordinance
Il completely enforced in every case
it may as we'll be repealed SO far as
the benefit expected is concerned.
Let the proper officers begin his
rounds at once and serve notice upon
the owner of every cistern IN town 70
comply with the ordinance, or report
for arrest and fine those who refuse
or neglect. This is no hardship as
the screening can be done by cloth
or wire as the owner may elect and
the cost by cloth would be incon-
siderable. The time for temporisine
Is past. II we mean to keep out the
fever we must keep up the proper
sanitary measures. doing away with
all dirty gntters, holes in backwards,
decaying vegetables, fruit, and the
thousand and one ways of producing
uusanitary conditions. Our officers
should be extra dilligent and report
faithfully every case of infringement
Of regulations.
