In compliance with the new ruling
OF the State Board OF Agricu ture, TO
the effect that veterinarians are re-
CURED to make monthly report, DR..
II. B. Mcdowell, of Middletown, sub
m:tted the following for March:
On March II | was called to the
larm Of Walter c. Money, near Town
send, where | found one horse that
had died SUDDENLY and two t.lat were
down. These Two and two Others
died within the next iorty-eieht hours,
a loss of five horses in two days. The
sixth horse was taken sick on the
2oth and died on the 2Ist Of March
reported these facts to Mr.. Shallceoss
and asked that DR.. Dawson and DR..
Ewes be called in consultation, They
both agreed in confirming my dag
nosis oi forage poisoning. After the
death oi the sixth horse, DR.. Eyes and
myself he'd post moi',em which
confirmed Our diagnosis Many OF the
farmers OF the neighborhood were
present and previous to the post NOR
tenn we explained the exact condition
that we expected to find. The exarni-
nation proved exactly as we antici-
pated. This allayed any feeling that
we had dangerously contagious dis
ease to deal with
Forage poisoning is disease which
we believe has its origin in mouldy

straw, mouldy hay, or any other
mouldy feed In this instance the
trouble was probably caused by some
mouldy straw and old stack bottom
that had Just tecn hauled into the

we can do IS to find the source OF the

The Old Gods In A New GuiSe

In his very interesting lecture in the
College Oratory. last Monday even
ing, Professor Carleton Brown show
ed how the Christian literature of the
Middle Ages was permested with pa
gan conceptions. The pagan deities
Of the Celtic and Germanic peoples,
not to any great extent of the Rom
ans and Greeks, are retained in
modified form in the most represen-
tative kind of medaeval literature
the romance Of love and adventure
The pagan gods ale i'll many OF the
Midft English rcmances, for in
stance, relegated to much humber
position. They have become the de
mons, who in on, way or another,
have power over mortais. Such CON
ccptions as these of the demonic in
huencc of these creatures were he
licved in firmly by the people OF the
Middle Ages and such belief is re-
sponsiblc for the widespread popular
ity of the romance.

THE NECESSITY OF A STREET
SPRINKLER.

The use OF street sprinkler is al
most, ii not altogether, a necessity.
BY Its use our streets are kept free
from dust which with ordinary team
travel. not mentioning the ever in
creas ng automobile travel, during the
hot weather become coud of dust.
This is most annoying to our towns
people, ard to some it proves quite
injurious. Our merchants suffer to
some extent on account OF their dis
played goods, being covered with dust
daily. In the interior of our homes
the dust finds its way and causes in
jury t. various household articles
Property owners also suffer on ac-
count of the dust settling on the paint
on their residences, necessitatng more
frequent painting. When our streets
are properly sprinkled all these an
noyances src avoided, travelling is
pleasant, and the few hours spent on
our front porches during the sul1ry
days and evenings are more enj ov-
able and refreshing

THE NECESSITY FOR STREET

Newark post., 1910-04-13

town of Newark has been very dusty
during the last few weeks and from
the standpoint of pahhc health the
streets should be 'sprirAled often
enough to keep the dust down. Some
OF our most dreaded diseases may be
spread by means OF dust. tuberculosis
is an example OF such disease.
Every effort should be made to per-
suade the town council to provide
some adequate means OF doing away
with the dust nuisance. There arc
also other arguments that could be
put forth as a reason ior keeping the
streets sprinkled, such as cleanliness
OF houses. and the cooling OF air during
warm, dry weather, but prevention of
disease outweighs all others. Whe-
ther the dust is kept down by oil or
water it matters not. DO away with
the dust! ESSIE B. WILLIS.

oil is first put on it is very object

are not made to water. House-keep-

they are unable to remove. Water
does not stain. 1t is said that after
