Blame Buzzards for charbun.

Crowley, La. June Is. Evidence. of
charbon among the stock is beginning
to show itself in different parts of the
parish. 1t is reported there are a
number of cases around Morse anu
west of Crowley. DR.. H. G.. Webb,
president Of the parish board of health,
is still OF the opinion that the buz2ard
is largely responsible for the spread of
this and other diseases among stock
Lake Charles American Press.
InSpite of the incontroyertible fact
that the buZzards scatter Charlton and
other deadly diseases to distant points,
and that the State Board of Health and
Conservation Commission have done
their part by removing every barrier
against the killing of the buzzard, his
majesty, this king of filth, still reigns
in all his former glory. We have failed
yet to learn OF any considerable number
of buzzards being killed. And we have
likewise failed to notice any especial
care being taken to dispose of dead
carcases. In fact. no later than last
week we noticed in a pasture within
the city limits of Welsh flock of per
haps Is buzzards fighting over the
carcass Of some small, animal that hat
probably thoughtlessly been left there
by the owner. Of course this ANNA
which possibly was a cat or Purple die
not have the Charlton, but it is not b,
any means as certain that the buzzard
that were fighting over its remains
had not recently been feasting on som'
carcass that had died of this drea,
disease. and that they polluted
a pasture otherwise free from thi
disease. If every one would use tn
utmost care to dispose of eyerythin,
that attracts buzzards, and then woul
devote little OF their spare time t
killing such as did frequent thei
premises they would aid materially Il
reducing the ravages of Charlton a
well as other diseases.

ing to the Southern States, especially
Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Geor'
gia and Florida, against the wholesale
expectation of their cattle is contained
in special statement issued today by
the Bureau of Animal Industry OF the
Department OF Agriculture.
In the past IL months, says the state.
ment, buyers from the Middle West
have taken from that district thousands
of animals. many of which go TO the
slaughter housas, when they should be
retained for breeding purposes.
"Some people of the South, says the
bureau, "seem glad that these cattle
are being shipped out as the number
of scrub cattle is being reduced ana the
South will get better cattle as the re-
suit. They do not consider that If the
shortage of cattle is such as to cause
BUYERS to come from the Far West to
buy those scrub cattle for breeding
purposes the chances OF Southern
farmers retilling their pastures with
good cattle are, indeed, small, but
where are these good breeding cattle
to come from at reasonable price?
The department experts point out
that the South is especially adapted to
the raising of cattle, because OF the
long grazing season, the mild winters
and the greater variety Of pasturage.
For that reason it has made special
appeal to the Southern farmers to re-
tain their breeding herds.

Of watching highly touted ieft-hand
pitcher In action. with instructions to
sign the young man II he considered him
worthy OF . trial. Kahoe saved the
Washington baseball club possibly 5000.
Mike passed the left-hander up. and
spent a week or ten days looking over
the various clubs in the Pacific Coast
and Northwestern leagues, gaining much
valuable information and other data
likely to be Of use to him at some future
date.
Kahoe's expenses for that Coast trip
probably amounted to $500. He went os-
tensibly to look at a southpaw recon-
mended by a friend OF Griff's. man who
should know ball player. The La Grande
club was willing to sell the pitcher for
So 900. but the Old Fox does not do BUSH
ness this way. He viii never invest such
an amount as this In ball players unless
he himself or one of his scouts has seen
the athlete play ball.
Finding ball players is no easy thing.
The scout today who grabs every minor
Lacquer he sees Is foolish. A good scout
nowadays Is one who turns down 30 per
cent Of the tipped players. Mike Kahoe
is a successful scout just for that reason.
He doesn't dig up many players In a

sands of dollars every season by railing
to recommend whole lot of dubs who
never would make stars in the big show.
