TN HOLDING Germany to strict accountable

THOSE who are insnuating that "parsnlp

THE President says that Mexico must establish

he mean the Baltimore platform, for instance!

SANITARY STABLES.

The IntelHgencer is Informed that
the city board Of health is probably
unanimously opposed TO the proposi-
ton put forth by the city council to
build the proposed new city barns in
the heart of the city. and favors the
construction OF these in the suburbs
OF the city. or at least away from the
business district.
IL Anderson is ever to make a prop
er start along modern hygienic lines,
seeking really to do away with the
major causes of flies, and other in
sects, which spread disease. the city
council should support the effort seek
ing to erect these barns away from
the business district. and where the
least possible harm will occur as a
result Of their location.
The matter will doubtless shortly
be brought to the attention Of the
council by official action OF the board
of health. and sound hygienic policy,
as well as wise business principles
will doubtless dictate the adoption of
the policy desired by the health of
ficials CT the erection of sanitar:.
barn and stables.
1t may be argued that other stables
are located as near the business dis
trict. and that to remove these would
be to work hardship not to be toll
Grated. In the event that this view
Is taken. and we would not combat it
then the city should build sanitary
barn, and stables .as model for the
others to follow.

RECORD WHEAT YIELD.


There shall DO bread and to spare
according to the yield Of wheat which
is looked forward to this year. The
government crop report will be Is
sued today, and will doubtless show
the largest yield OF wheat ever made
In the United States. The western
wheat fields have shown an increase
In acreage of over 100000 acres, and
tho eastern section about as large
proportionately. The estimated yield
for this year, based upon the average
yield for the last ten years. Is Ia
bushels per acre. Last year, however,
the yield was 10 bushels per acre. and
this amount may be duplicated. So
the wheat crop this year may reach
T08.000.00O bushels. and will be the
largest by far the country has ever
grown, The Intelligencer is glad sa
know that the Piedmont section OF
Eanth Carolina has awakened TO the
possibility of growing wheat. and that
the crop this year In this section VIII
also be the largest ever grown.

cows WERE ON SPREE.

"Send for the veterinarian at once"
was the order given by Samuel
Sherard, farmer living west of Pur-
due University, when he noticed sew
eral of his COWS acting strangely In
the ya3ture.
Sherard walked into his pasture
yesterday and beheld the most dis
orderly pastoral scene that eyer con-
fronted his vision. Beside, blooded
Holstein, had apparently taken the
count and lay feet upward on the
sward. She was hiccoughing like a
baking automobile motor. Three
other cows were lying about her in q
semi-circle and they seemed to be talk
ing no interest in life. Darby. big
Jersey milker, was trying to emulate
her ancestors in doing the Jump over
the moon. On all sides were tired
looking COWS, some recumbent, others
on their knees. Their bovine solos
were of the "washa natter?" type.
Sherard's neighbors were aroused
and soon there was q board OF inquiry
In session. The veterinarians came,
Investigated and found that there
were no symptoms OF disease in the
cows. Then It was discovered that In
u nearby orchard was q cider press
and on the ground was big pile OF
apple pulp, better known as pemcase.
The cows had Toasted on it, the al
cohol had done its work and the ami
mails were actually on q spree.--Laf-
