THE SOREHEAD
IS HERE AGAIN
PoULTRYMEN OF PENSACOLA ARE
BEING BOTHERED THIS SEASON
WITH THE DISEASE, WHICH Ae-
PEARS EARLIER THAN USUAL.

Sorehead, though a little early for
this season Of the year. is already
making its appearance in the foCks
in and around Pensa cola. The disease
is peculiar to the south. Like many
Of the ailments Of the human family,
the authorities differ as to its cause.
Some claim II is merely a local in
lection, caused by the fowl scratching
and irritating the head, and the raw
place becoming infected. It is prob
ably true, however, that it is a con-
taEious disease Of the blood, commu
nicated from one to the other of the
flock by various means.
Local breeders have been successful
in treating the disease by applications
Of a saturated solution Of alum water,
and carbolated vasaline. The pow
dered alum is dissolved in water until
1t viii hold no more. The place where
it is to be applied is then freed from
the scab or other matter and the alum
water applied until the place is clean.
The vasaline is then applied. Several
applications Of this treatment are said
TO be very effectual. It is a wise pre-
caution, however, to separate the sick
birds from the remainder of the flock.
EPSON salts figures prominently in
many OF the cures recommended in
sorehead, and 1t is claimed with every
evidence Of truth that frequent dosings
With SALTS VIII keep MOCK rree from
the disease that annually carries of
| thousands of fine birds.
One of the advocates of the EPSON
salts treatment recommends the fol-
lowing:
Give for drink two tablespoonsful of
Epson salts in each half gallon OF
drinking water three or four times per
week, and apply OF the head a light
coat Of pine tar. BY using the above
preparation once a week as a prevent
i've during the early summer months, a
case Of sorehead will be Of rare occur
renee in your yards. It is a better
plan to kill the first fowls showing the
disease, and then thoroughly spray and
cleanse everything around the yards
and houses with Zenoleum or cerbolic
acid water. A remedy also used sue
cessfully is to battle the head Of the
fowl In warm soap suds, thereby soft
ening the scabs, which can then be
picked off, and while still wet touch
each sore spot several times with a
piece of bluestone. Feed on soft feed.
with salts in the drinking water as
previously mentioned.
Another simple, but very effective
remedy is a mixture of common axle
grease, carbolic acid and sulphur, APP
piled each morning. A few drops of
the acid, a pinch or two of sulphur and
a tablespoonful of the grease will cure
most any case.

PENSACOLA NAVY YARD.
Mobile Register.

Senator Fletcher, of Florida, on the
twenty-seventh ultimo. made q strong
speech for the retention OF the navy
yard at Pensacola. The senator con-
tended that the views Of the present
secretary Of the navy are very different
from those which have prevailed since
the establishment Of the navy yard,
and quoted from the reports Of Secre-
taries Woodbury.. Wells, Robson,
Thompson and from senate resolutions,
to show In what estimation the yard
was held. He then took up the rea-
sons advanced by the present secre-
tary for abandoning the navy yard,
arguing against those reasons that
even the secretary's own report of 1909
shows that the secretary thought then
that II would be unwise to abandon the
Pensacola navy yard until the Panama
canal Is completed. Senator Fletcher
remarked that doubtless the secretary
was impressed with the fact that the
canal was nearer to Pensacola than
any o. her navy yard on American soil.
The secretary may be right in saying
that there are too many navy yards,
but why leave three on the north At
lantic coast and have none on the gulf I?
asked the senator. The idea that a
navy yard at Guantanamo would serve
all the needs of the gulf, appeared to
be without reasonable support, said
the senator, and he proceeded to show
that If the prospective battle ground
of the future be the Straits Of Florida
or Of Yucatan, Guantanamo is 500
miles away and Pensac cola only $50.
But most important, II seems to US, is
the point that Pensacola has Ameri-
can country behind Il to supply It.
while Guantanamo is in q foreign
country, readable only by ships.
After a thorough exposition Of the
81 =, a.
sary to be summarized here, Senator
Fletcher asked unanimous consent for
the adoption OF the following resolu-
ton:
Resolved. That the secretary Of the
navy be, and he is hereby, directed to
inform the senate as promptly as pos
sible what orders If any, he has issued
respecting the navy yard at Pensacola,
Fla: what work, incident to navy
yards, has been done at said navy yard
within the last two fiscal years:
whether work can be done at said
navy yard as economically as at other
navy yards; and If not. why not:
whether specific appropriations for ele-
vator Of March g. 1908. amounting to
81. 900, and for remodeling building Of
March 8. 1903. amounting to $4,000,
have been expended as provided by
said acts; and II not, why not; and
that he further report whether Il IS
his intention to abandon work at said
navy yard.
There being no objection, the resolu-
ton was adopted.
Senator FIetcher's position is that
the action taken by the secretary has
not been authorized by the onlv BODY
with power to act. and II congress
maintains its prerogattve. such arbI-
trary action by the secretary ought not
to be tolerated or permitted to pass

MANY ALABAMA CONNECTS
ARE TO SECURE RELEASE
BY Associated Press.

Montgomery, Ala. Aug. 1o.-Prison
gates will probably be thrown open to
hundreds Of county convicts doing
hard labor in Alabama, as a result of
an important decision rendered late
yesterday afternoon by the state court
Of appeals, unfolding it's former opin-
ion which declared as unconstitutional
an act of the legislature of 1907 that
prescribed 40 cents per day to be al
lowed convicts in working out costs.
The decision re-establishes a prior sec
ton of the code of 1907 fixing the rate
at rs cents per day.
Under this ruling the terms of many
convicts have been shortened and they
are entitled to their liberty. The de-
cision was reached in a habeas corpus
case from Birmingham.
Lessees of convicts desired this
question settled to avoid action for

arose a few days back to remark that
Chase was by all odds the most valu-
able ball player on the Yankee outfit.
This may be true enough, but 1t can't
get by without an argument. In re

Cree, the greatest left fielder in the

In the matter of value to his people
Cree runs Chase a dead heat, and a

get. Here are again old reliable fg-

 Colonel Weedin announces him self a Jeffersonian democrat. He says he has not lost faith in the capacity of the people wisely and justly to govern themselves; that he believes public office is a public trust and should be ad- ministered with the same fidelity as that obseved by the man who serves a private interest, The colonel also announces his un- swerving loyalty to the constitu- ton of the new state and says he believes in every paragraph of that instrument.
