LACK OF A FEEDING SYSTEM
Responsible for Major Portion Of Loss
OF Valuable Animals From Collie
and Like Troubles.
(By w. II. DALRYMPLE. Louisiana
Eyneriment StatiOn,)

(By w. IT. DALRYMPLE, Louisiana
Experiment Station)
After an opportunity during the last

conditions under which many OF our
work animals are fed, we have no hes.
fancy in saying that lack Of system In
feeding Is responsible for the major
portion OF the loss of valuable animals
from collie, Inflammation Of the bow.
els, etc.
Many who lose valuable mules on
the plantations and farms from diges-
tive troubles are wont to place the
blame of the kind or class OF feed the
animals have been given; while, In
reality, the blame properly belongs to
the unnatural and unintelligent man
ner in which they receive their feed.
A properly balanced ration OF the very
best quality OF oats, when fed intel
ligently and systematically, may not
induce a case Of collie during the nat
ural lifetime Of the animal. But II the
entire days ration Of oats is fed at
one time, instead Of 1t being divided
into three parts. 1t Is liable to so de.
range the digestive apparatus as 20
set up a fatal case Of fiatulent collie.
because the digestive organs in the
horse or mule are not constructed, or
prepared, to handle such an exces'
sive quantity Of food material all
at once In such a case, are we to
Lame the oats for the trouble, or the
unintelligent manner in which they
were fed to the animal? And so 1t Is
with other kinds and classes OF con
centrated feeds; they require system
in their administration to prevent In
digestion, collie, etc, and to produce
the best results in the capacity OF the
animal for work.

down and her vote down. Three balls

WAR AGAINST ALCOHOL.

WAR AGAINST ALCOHOL.
Get on the water wagon" is now
the slogan Of the New York health
department. Its head, DR.. Sigismund
S. Goldwater, says that anything
which affects the health Of the people
OF q city Is a subject Of concern to

ance with this view he has declared
war on liquor. 1T is nonsense" he

ish the chief factor in causation.
There are too many people sick from
liquor in New York city-that's enough

that this Is to be a real fight. 1t Is
not enough to make occasional depre-
catory mention of alcohol and Its re-
suits: We must have q definite antial-
cohol program. The work Of the
health department In this field will
henceforth be systematic, aggressive
and unremitting." Every means OF
publicity will be utilized in this cam
paign. 1t will be spectacular and In
the v%ernacular. the rich mans cham
payne and highballs, as we'll az the
poor mans third rail" whisky and
beer, will be the object Of attack.
For months the New York state
board of health has been giving out
to the press Of the state, under the
title Health Hints" strong state
ments concerning the injurious effects
OF alcohol. Therefore the action now
taken by the New York city board Is
not a great surprise. 1t is being warm
ly commended by members Of the
medical profession, and without doubt
health officials Of other cities will fol
