Precautions Against uog Cholera.

AS a matter of prevention Of
cholera, all hogs just brought on
to the farm should be quarantined
for at least thirty days before
turning with the rest of the herd:
neighbors or persons coming from
cholera-infected premises should
not be permitted on the place.
and owners of healthy herds
should not visit Infected farms o,
premises. Dogs should not be
allowed to roam at large; and
birds, especially buzz ards. should
be destroyed; hogs should not be
kept near to contaminated streams,
or public highways. 1t is better
not to over-feed hogs with new
corn. Pens aud troughs should
be disinfected with some reliable
disinfecting agent; and quickime
should be used freely on feed lots.
When hogs have been exposed to
infection, they should be vacci.
mated by some experienced vete.

REGULATION 9
of the Louisiana State Live Stock
Sanitary Board as Amended
ard Adopted June 5, 1912.

In order to prevent and control the
spread of Anthrax or Charlton, Hog
Cholera, Or other contagious, infec-
tiOus, or communicable diseases of
animals in the State, through possible
error in diagnosis and the careless
and insanitary disposal of diseased
carcases, it shall be the duty of the
Police Jury of each Parish to appoint
one or more persons in each Justice
of the Peace Ward as live stock SAM
tary officers, whose duty shall be to
attend to the immediate and sanitary
disposal of the carcases of all animals
dying in his or their respective Ward
in the manner prescribed by the Secre-
tary and Executive Officer of the
Louisiana State Live Stock Sanitary
Board, to-wit:
The carcases of all animals shall be
Immediately disposed of by burning
or by burial in one or other of the
following ways:
BURNING:-A suita BILE trench shall
be dug about two feet deep by two or
three feet wide. and of sufficient
length to accommodate the number of
carcases to be burned at one time.
Across the too of the trench should
be placed sufficient number of green
poles, or iron bars, if available, to
act as griddle on which to place the
carcass. The trench should be filled
with kindling-wood of some kind, and
after the carcass is placed on the poles.
or bars, it should be heaped up with
heavier wood, and the whole satu-
rated with coal oil and set fire to.
In some sections of the State, wood
may be scarce, while coal oil may be
plentiful. In this case, sufficient
number OF old gunny sacks, or other
sily-inflammable material that will
absorb the oil and act as wick.
should be. placed in the bottom of the
trench and kept saturated with the
oil. Or, the oil from barrel placed
at safe distance, may be conducted
into the trench through a pipe, and
the flow so regulated as to keep the
absorbent material constantly satu-
rated with it. In any case the burn
ing shall be continued until the whole
of the carcass is consumed in order
to destroy every particle OF Infection
The trench method of crematng, or
burning, is much less expensive than
by burning the carcass upon the sur.
face OF the ground, as by the former,
a draft is created, and with fire above
and below, consumption is much
quicker and with much less expense
Ut time and material.

If he is wrong, it has every
appearance of an eager
wrong, Of an hastily ex.
pressed opinion of a Demo
cratic official in favor of
Democratic nominees. If he
is right, then the Democratic
government Of our State has
been either criminally care

the worst form of misgovern'
ment--the worst form Of po-
litical oppression, failing to
make it possible for clean
WHITE opposition by a po'
litical party.
We don't wish our readers
to be confused by Democratic
statements that the Progress.
sives could have held nomi.
mating conventions or circu.
lated nominating papers and
that theyeKere not compelled
to hold Primaries. The Pro-
gressive Party is a political
Party' and under Act 33 of
1915, it could not nominate
in any other way than by
Primary nomination.
The Progressives are not
afraid of the outcome of the
issue, because the PEOPLE
ARE WITH THEM. If the
Secretary Of State rules in
accordance with his advance
opinion, then the matter will
be taken at once to the
Courts and a decision obtain
ed before the election. If he
is held to be wrong, the issue
will be quickly settled. III
held to be right, then the
people will know how badly
and ignorantly they have
been misgoverned. The Pro-
Party will appeal d.
rectly TO the PEOPLE and
do not fear the issue. Their
nominees in each Parish will
be elected on August 31st,
1915, whether on the official
ballot by printing Of the
Secretary Of State or WRIT
TEN thereon by the
PEOPLE.
The PEOPLE are not as
afraid of the Progressive

decision is, or will be in the
issue between the Progress
sive party and the Secretary
of State, in so far as the Pro
gressive Party is concerned.
The fact that any law could
be passed, in this civilized
year of our Lord 1915, that
deliberately bars a WHITE
POLITICAL PARTY from
participating in the selection
of public officials, is the vital
issue, and NOT what an EN-.
ployed official Of the people
might or might not do.
The people of Louisiana
have deliberately sat around,
comforted only by the placid
assumption that it is all right,
and permitted a system that
really makes them subjects
and not citizens.
Right here is where the
Progressive Party shines.
The Secretary of State does
not strike the party, he simp-
ly deals a blow at political
liberty.
If the blow to be dealt, is
not through design, it comes
through ignorance and in.
competence; and in either
event, it shows that the pre-
sent party domination, Tor
SYSTEM is either corrupt or
incompetent; and the only
rational method of changing
conditions, is to change the
system; and the nearest route
to changing the system, is to
unite the people against the
oppression, waste and extra
vagance that has bankrupted
the State, and made the citi-
zens the subjects Of a despo-
tic political system under
Democratic rule instead of
citizens Of a sovereign State.
