Another Plague Case
In New Orleans.

After a lapse Of nearly year a
case Of human plague occurred IN the
city Of New Orleans on the 27th Of
August. This case was confirmed as
true bubonic plague on September
sth. The archaeological investiga-
tons as to the exact source Of the in
lection have not yet been completed
but it is believed that it was proba-
bly, received in the city Of New Or
leans.
Uu to date over 81 900 buildings in
that city have been rat-proofed and
over $4,000 rodents have been cap
tured in traps alone. The occurrence
of this demonstrates the difficulties
surrounding the eradication Of the
disease and indicate that had it not
been for the active cooperative eff
forts Of the United States public
health service and of the departments
Of health Of the stae of Louisiana and
the city Of New Orleans, the outbreak
would have reached greater proper
tions and would have been longer con-
tinued.
It also points out to other cities the
necessity for Kidding themselves Of
the rodent carriers Of the disease and
of thoroughly rat-proofing all of then
buildings. No fear is fel. that this

Another Legal Holiday
in Florida.

BY operation Of one hastily passed
act within the last days Of the legis-
lature, another holiday has been made
legal IN the state Of Florida. The
date is October 8, and it win be known
throughout the state as Farmers
Day.
just what manner of celebration is
sought to fittingly remember this
newest holiday, remains to be worked
out, but it would be not inadvisable
for communities to get up display
Of products Of the immediate sections,
and demonstrate by such the prolific
nature of the soil thereabout.
It is fitting, to say the least, that
one day in the year should be sci
aside as date to pay tribute to the
farmer, but the first holiday will b.

Help the Fair and
Also Help Yourself.

: 1t has been suggested that mer-
chants when dealing with their farmer
friends, they should say a good word
Of encouragement for the forthcoming
Escanbia County Fair and its posi-
bilities. It also is suggester that, in
transacting business with the farmer,
that . word be spoken as to bringing
any kind Of exhibit to the fair, and
impress him with the idea that moth
ing in the way Of products of the
soil is barred from the exhibition.
A little word now and then from
Pensacola merchants viii go a long
ways toward increasing interest in
the fair, and this win be done with nj
expense or trouble to anyone.

SYSTEM IN FEEDING.

"a feeder may have all the informa-
ton necessary concerning feeding
standards, balanced rations, nutritive
ratios, etc., and yet he cannot possibly
secure the maximum of good results
from the possession of such knowledge
unless he employs a rational and intel
|ligent system in the feeding of his
animals" says DR.. w. H. Dalrymple,
Professor of Veterinary Science, L.S.U.
Animals under domestication, such
as the live stock of the farm, and more
particularly the work horses and mules,
are living under artificial conditions in
respect to their feeding, and are solely
at the mercy of the intelligence, or
otherwise, of their owners for the man.
ner, or system, in which their food is
supplied to them.
Under natural conditions, the horse,
or mule, owing to the anatomical ar
arrangement of it's digestive organs, and
it's physiological requirements, feeds
quite often, but partakes Of little at a
time. The main reason for this is, the
relatively small capacity of its stomach
not more, perhaps, than from II to
II quarts-the short time it takes for
the stomach to empty itself, and hence
the necessity for frequent replenish-
Iment
after an opportunity, during the
past twenty-five years, of studying and
observing conditions under which many
of our work animals are fed, we have
no hesitancy in saying that lack Of
system in feeding is responsible for
the major portion of the loss of valua-
BILE animals from collie, inflammation
of the bowels, etc.
MANY who lose valuable mules on
the plantations and farms from diges-
tive troubles are wont to place the
blame on 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 natu-
raj lifetime of the animal But if the
entire days ration of oats is fed at one
time instead of it being divided into
three parts, it is liable to so derange
the { gestive apparatus as to set up a
fatal case of flatulent collie, because
the digestive organs in the horse, or
mule, are not constructed, or prepar-
ed, to handle such an excessive guam
tity of food material all at once. In
such a case, are we to blame the oats
for the trouble, or the unintelligent
manner in which they were fed to the
animal? And so it is with other kinds
and classes of concentrated feeds;
they require system in their admins
tration to prevent Indigestion, collie,
etc, and to produce the best results
in the capacity of the animal for work. "
