yesterday morning there
were upwards of 400 cattle that
was passed through the dipping
watts III the Third Ward, so readily
did the owners of cattle in that
section realize the Importance of
freeing their cattle of the tick
which produces fever that means
instant death to their stock. We
understand as many as eighty
head which is owned 'bv Senator
Broussard and Mr.. Silvio Brous
sard was also dipped yesterday
morning. Both of these gentle
men invested in stock few weeks
since which they are fattening ON
the grasses upon Mr.. Broussard S
farm near Olivier, and they have
met with remarkable success in
putting additional weight upon
their herd. A remarkable thing
about the cattle that has been
given several dips, is the
fact that in ouly one instance in
the Parish have any died with
Charlton. It stands for reason
that stock that is not cmaciatcd
and run down by these blood suck
ing insects is not near so Suscep-
tible to fatal diseases as they
would be otherwise

Pellagra is not contagious, how
