Atlantic Horse Insurance Company
we publish for the general information
of the owners of horses.
suNsTRoKE AND HEAT EXHAUSTION.
Knowing you are Interested in hav-
ing the best possible service from your
horse this summer, we In accorda nee
with our usual custom are sending
you our midsummer bulletin.
suNsrRoKE.
Animal stona without noticeable pre-
vious difficulty, staggers, drops head,
falls to ground and is unconscious.
Breathes loudly, pulse Irregular and
slow, breaks eat on outside OF body IN
patches of cold sweat.
Treatment. DO NOT bleed him
Iced water or as cold water as you can
quickly get should be applied freely TO
head and along spine or back houe,
give him halt pint of whiskey or half
ounce Of carbonate OF ammonia In pint
of wafer, rub his legs, and call veter-
marian at once.
HEAT EXHAUSTION.
Animal usually requires urging be-
fore any other symptom ia noticed,
Precipitation usually stops, weak in
gait, pants, eyes blood shot, 'nnst1Is
wide open and very red inside, pulse
very fast and weak.
Treatment should be the same as for
Sunstroke, except where they can BE-
quickly gotten, hot water cloths should
be applied to head and spine Instead of
cold water, but if any time is going to
be Lost 10 getting hot water, use cold
water the same as in Sunstroke. Call
a veterinarian at once.
Above diseases caa be prevented
and there is no excuse for them, care
lessness and negligence are alone to
blame, for a man who drives his horse
in the hot sun, or allows it to be driven
without giving it proper care until an
imal is exhausted, should be prose
cuted and made an outcast among
men
In very hot weather horses head
should " covered with a light sun
shade, II a hat IL used sufficient b oles
should be made, as an outlet and inlet
for air. Sponges placed on the head
unless frequently wet in cool water we
consider do mere harm than good.
Head end shoulders should he wet
with water as often as convenient,
short but frequent opportunities should
be allowed the animal to get Its wind
in shady places.
FEED AND WATER WITH CARE,
never IN excess. give easily digested
grain, like oats, and If the animal has
had hard, especially trying day, give
it light or small feed ofgrain. Stables
should be as we'll ventilated as posi-
BILE, sprinkle the floor with water if
convenient. Where animals are work
ed in accordance with above we have
had our insured tell us IN the fall that
they never got SO much work from
their horses before and with a mini
mum friction from drivers.

VIM. Campbell, Esq Editor,
Virginia Free Press.

Virginia free fress.
Dear >ir,-The fruit growers of Vir,
ginia are much interested in the de-
yelopment of toe fruit industry either
State, believing as they do, that there
is in Virginia plenty OF land suited to
the successful production of the highest
grade, and best favored apples ia the
world. But they do not as body be-
lieye that the best interests of the State
are being furthered by misleading and
reckless advertising, and false represen
tations; on the contrary, they realize
that this results in doing more harm
than good
While there is plenty of first.class
apple land in the State, especially in
the "piedmontn and "Shenandoah
} Valley sections OF the state, where
commercial orcha-ding isnow praeticed
o n large scale, yet all the land, even
in these sections is not best adapted for
this purpose; as is the case in ether
States, there is land admirably adapted
to this purpose aud other that is not
so.
Several misleading statements have
been advertised that have attracted the
attention of honest Virginia fruit grow
ers, of which they disapproved; and at
the last meeting of the Virginia State
Horticultural Society, which was held
at Roanoke, Va, last January, this
matter was discussed and the following
resolution was passed by unanimous
vote OF the whole membership, thus
placing them on record as opposed to
any misleading statements:
"ResoIved, That this Society stands
for conservation in advertising the
horticultural resources of the Stale. In
the midst of the present rapid and en-
thusiastic development of our fruit in
terests, we are not in sympathy with
attempts 10 overcolor our advantages.
We believe, for example, that the state
ment that choice Virginia fruit land
easily accessible to railroad, can be
bought for SIS an acre; that the apple
crop OF Virginia in 1910 was | SOC, 600
barrels, that Virginia grown Lowry
apples sell for SIS per bushel, and sim
liar exaggerations, can only mislead
and disappoint those who are tempted
to Virginia by this means, and that IN
the long run such advertising does
much more harm than good to our
fruit interests.
We are convinced that the advan-
tages of Virginia, natural and other
wise, for commercial fruit growing are
such that the most effective kind of
exploitation is that which simply states
the facts without any attempt TO color
or EN- bellish.
We consider the booklet entitled
"Fruit Growing in Virginia. recently
Issued by this Society, a fair, censerv-
alive, and reliable statement of our
Horticultural advantages. We endorse
it and urge those who are interested
in our horticultural development to a
dept it's conservative tone"
People who are interested in the sub
ject of fruit growing in Virginia will
do well if they make careful invest
cations before investing their money
Very truly yours,
Walter Whately.

Society.

SNAKES TURNED LOOSE.

Sac City. Sept 1.--Snake hunting
proved popular diverscion recently.
About ten days agosit was discovered
that there were number Of large
snakes on the fair grounds and at that
time a large rattlesnake was killed.
Since that time seven snakes sneas-
.uring from Ave TO eight feet have been
killed. Last Sunday 8. L. Hawley and
his helper succeeded In killing two
more snakes wtschs nsse es0rad between
six, and seven test in length md about
six inches In circumference II is
known that there y ut least one more
snake in the fair grounds, q large
rattIesnake having been seen twice re-
Gently. Sunday It was seen to drop
from q tree and crawl into the pond,
People who saw the reptile state that II
was from sixteen to twenty feet IN
length. Several different methods have
been suggested to capture this snake.
Some believe the pond should be
drained, while others believe that the
best way would be to dynamite the
pond.
The presence OF these snakes on the
fair grounds is explained this way.
During the fair one OF the snake shows
did little or no business for all that
immense crowds passed the tent daily,
The owner became discouraged and
furthermore disgusted with the snake
show business and 1t is said that at the
close Of the fair he turned his pets
loose. The fact that there are several
cases In which snakes are carried re-
naming on the grounds leads to the
belief that this is the proper explana-
ton. as no snakes have. ever been seen
there nefOre
