The International Live Stock Exposl
ton to be held In Chicago, Dec.
10 to 90.

"The International Live Stock
Exposition is an index OF the pro-
gress of animal breeding in this
country. Here are annually exhibited
the best products Of the mind and
genius Of the American breeder,
concepts which have been developing
during 20, and in some cases even 30
or 40 years. What privilege it is
to come in contact with these men:
what an inspiration to study the re-
suits OF their consistent and united
effort. 1t is no wonder that students
OF the agricultural colleges far and
near, with their instructors, flock to
Chicago during the live stock expo.
sition. Where else could they hope
to find school eXemplifying as this
does all the principles of animal
breeding and nutrition. Yes the IN
ternational Live Stock Exposition is
indeed great school. Think of
what it means to the hundreds of
thousands of farmers who annually
visit it and see what their brother
farmers and stOckmen have actually
accomplished. Many man has got
ten his first true conception of what
animal breeding and production
means through visit to the EXPOSE
ton. 1t has thus become d great
vitalizing and inspiring force to the
live stock men of the whole country"

ESCAPED YELLOW FEVER.

One of the most notable and
brilliant scientific achievements
which characterized the yellow
fever campaign in New Orleans,
was witnessed at Jackson Barracks.
the United States Army post, Just
below the city, which though
thanked on either side by the fever,
wholly escaped the disease, and
all of this despite the fact that
there we're stationed at the bar
racks 225 officers and men, all
non-immunes.
When the fever was fret declar.
ed the question of evacuation was
debated, but due to the progress
of medical science, to belief in
the mosquito dogma and the
necessary military discipline to
enforce modern sanitary measures,
it was decided to keep the troops
intact and to place the men under
certain restraint, as to discrimi-
nate mingling in the city, though
there was 20 quarantine whatever.
The barracks were screened thour-
oughly, the men made to sleep
under mesquite bars, and all
apartments were regularly fumi-
gated until Jackson barracks was
as free from mosquitoes as the
emergency hospital itself.
The immunity of. the army post
from disease which practically
surrounded it is pointed out by
DR.. White as a striking example
of what may be accomplished by
fighting the mosquito ard elimi-
mating the only known agent of
transmission.
