MANY VISITORS
ON NAVAL CRAFT
PENsAcoLIANs AND TOURISTS
ENJOYED HOURS ABOARD UN-
GLE SANS VESSELS WHICH
WERE MooRED AT THE CITY
DOCKS.

Hundreds of visitors were interested
callers upon Uncle Sans vessels, the
Prairie, Preston, Balch and subma-
rines, ali of which were moored at
the city docks. yesterday. The large
ship. the Prairie, was perhaps the one
on which the greater number of visi-
tors were received, and several hun
bred crossed the gang plank and
reached the docks of that fine vessel,
during the open-ship hours.
Just ahead of the Prairie, which was
at the middle berth at the west side of
Commandments wharf, were the four
submarines, while just astern of the
submarines parent ship was the de-
stroyer Preston. Across the slip. at
Central wharf. preparing to get away
for Key West and thence for Guam
tanamo Bay, was the destroyer Balch.
all OF which vessels were highly inter-
esting to the large number of Sunday
afternoon visitors.
The San Francisco was anchored in
the stream during the whole of yester-
day, and q number of visitors in small
boats ventured into the harbor ana
paid a visit to that vessel too, but as
the afternoon wore on, the water be-
gan to get rough. and at o'clock in
the afternoon small craft were few in
the harbor. Only those small boats
which were sent out on business mis-
sions We're to be seen on the bay after
4 o'clock.

LAW PROPOSES
THE KILLING OF
ALL BUzzAROS
Senator from Leon County
Has a Measure Which
Would Provide Bounty
for Heads of Bird Now
Protected.

Senator A. S. Wells of Leon county
has a measure which he will Introduce
at the next session Of the Florida leg
isIature, which provides for the ex-
termination of the buzzard. This is
how the Tallahassee Democrat
refers to the bill, in its last issue:
"A S. Wells. senator Of Leon County,
has drafted and prepared a bill to in
troduce in the next session Of the legis-
lature, which convenes in April which
proposes to repeal the law which
makes it a penalty and imposes q fine
Of SIS for killing a buzzard. In addi-
ton to repeating the statute for pro-
hibiting the killing of buzzards Mr..
Wells proposes to go still further and
allow bounty OF Is cents a head for
every buzzard killed in the State. 1T
is proposed that the heads of buzzards
killed be brought in to the clerk of the
court or some other county official at
the courthouse, who will pay to the
person presenting the buzzard heads Is
cents each. At the end of the regular
periods this county official shall re-
port to the comptroller the number Of
buzzards on which he has paid the 25
cents and the amount paid therefor
ana the COluQlTO1lOI SIloll LAGn CduSS
to be drawn a warrant upon the State
treasury reimbursing the county.
'The idea of removing the statutory
prohibition for killing buzzards is con-
sidered an excellent one and will be of
inestimable value to the tanners and
stock raisers of the State and now that
the State is going so largely into hog
raising this idea comes at a most OPP
perfume time.
1T Is no longer a question that the
buzzard is the greatest hog cholera
carrier existent This fact is well IL
Illustrated by a concrete example on
two farms near this city. Notwith-
standing the statutory prohibition, to
protect his own interests one farmer
in the county, has kept q close watch
and every buzzard he has seen near
his premises he has killed. not allow
ing a one to light on his place. This
farmer has a dog trained to look out
for the buzzards and every time one
approaches the place this dog gives the
alarm. On another farm adjoining the
one above mentioned It's owner did not
observe such close precaution and al
lowed buzzards to come into his
pastures where he kept his hogs.
Practically every hog he had in this
field died with cholera, while on the
other place mentioned there was not a
single hog to take the disease"

which Games was charged with having
passed a worthless check in Mobile
for a small amount The arrest was
made by Detective Burgess of Mobile.
Upon arrival here Detective Burgess
hunted up Chief Sanders, with whom
he was well-acquainted. and enlisted
the aid of the Pensacola chief in the
arrest of the stranger. The latter is a
special advertising man, and his pa

SNEAK THIEVES
GET GOLD WATCH
SEVERAL PARTIES SAID TO HAVE
BEEN CONCERNED IN RANsAcK-
ING or HOME or MAN ON EAST
CHASE STREET.

Among a. number of articles stolen
from the home of William Wilson, on
East Chase street near Alcaniz. was
a gold watch. of Elgin manufacture,
valued at about SIS. The watch, with
clothing, was stolen from Wilson'S
home during his absence. and the po-
lice received a report that four boys
had lately been seen in the neighbor-
hood and in an empty lot adjoining
the house which was ransacked.
No arrests have been made, but 1t
will likely be difficult matter for the
sneak thieves to get rid of the watch
or the clothes either, from the fact
that all the garments stolen are said
to have been marked with the name of
the owner. while the watch, also bore
his name engraved legibly thereon.
This robbery was said to have been
committed in daylight, and about the
time when Wilson was attending
church. AS soon as he returned home
he at once made report of his losses
to the police. but no arrests in the
case had been made up to an early
hour last night.

USING ASPHALT AS
FLOORS FOR SWINE
No Particular Advantage Over
Concrete Except Material Is
Somewhat More Elastic.

By F. w. IVES, Ohio State University
Asphalt would have no advantage
over concrete as a feeding floor for
hogs other than being more elastic,
1t is doubtful whether this advantage
would be worth the extra expense OF
the asphalt.
Asphalt requires a good concrete
foundation to be successful and must
be thoroughly rolled when placed.
Usually base of four inches is re-
quired, and the asphalt is laid from
two to three inches thick over that.
The base should be Of 1885 concrete.
This would make fairly satisfactory
floor in itself
II asphalt has any germicidal quail
ties, they would be very slight and
would be worth nothing in the course
Of two or three weeks use. It would
be sanitary In that it might be easily
cleaned. However, the same could be
said of concrete.

During the last few years a great
many corn-belt farmers have estab-
lished herds of breeding cows to pro-
duce steers for market. Increased
market values have given promise of
profit in this line. The lessened vol
ume and added cost of western sup
plies are less serious than formerly
as a handicap upon the development
of a farm beef-raising industry.
The same changed economic condi-
tons that are bringing the center OF
beef production farther east have equal
force in relation to the production OF
mutton and lambs, although the re-
turn to production on farms has been
less general in the case Of sheep than
with beef cattle. Continued good
prices for sheep and difficulties in Sc
curing farm labor, however, have
caused a marked revival Of interest
in the marketing of lambs from east
ern farms. 1t is becoming more gen.
orally understood that the marketing
of lambs around S. per head at the
time they are ready to wean is prac-
tical proposition During nearly all
of lambs stay upon the farm its
mother harvests all the feed needed
for both, and during the rest of the
year subsists largely upon feed which
she gathers herself and which would
otherwise not be utilized at all.
The Illinois experiment station has
recently published the results of ex-
periments conducted to show the most
economical methods Of raising lambs

DISEASE OF CALVES
DUE TO INFECTION
Diphtheria Is Always Serious
Matter, Especially When A.
fecting Young Animals.
(By H. NJ. REYNOLDS. Minnesota En-
pertinent Station)

(By II. NJ. REYNOLDS. Minnesota En-
pertinent Statlon)
Calf diphtheria is due to a specific
infection, and is always a serious mat
ter, especially when affecting young
animals.
The trouble may appear with calves
from three to five days old. Such
calves refuse to drink milk or suck.
They show more or less discharge of
saliva from the mouth and inflamed
patches inside of the mouth. These
patches gradually develop into ulcers
covered with dead, granular, or
cheesy mass which does not peel cas-
lily from the raw surface underneath.
There is considerable rise of tempera-
ture and an offensive odor from the
mouth. The trouble may easily ex-
tend to neighboring parts, to the lin
ing membrane Of the nose, and then
there appears a yellowish discharge
In some cases the lining membrane
of the digestive tract is similarly af.
fected and then there is tendency to
diarrhea. Little pigs show similar
symptoms. Very young animals are
most easily and most seriously az
fected. but cases have been reported
In calves and pigs six to eight months
old, and even occasionally in adult
cattle and adult hogs.
The sores may be cleaned with two
per cent creolin in warm water, and
then treated with Lugols solution. ap
piled twice a day to the ulcers. Per
manganate Of potash may also be
used. two ounces to each gallon OF
water; make up fresh each time, az
the mixture cannot be kept from day
to day Either treatment should be
given to valuable animals about twice
a day for from four to six days.
Frequent and thorough disinfectior
OF calf pens and calf yards is one o.
the first essentials In management.

BUSINESS IN CANADA
IS GOOD
Successful Crops and Big Yields
Help the Railway.

The remarkable fields that are re-
ported Of the wheat crop of Western
Canada for 1915 bear out the esti-
mate of an average yield over the
three western provinces of upward of
rs bushels per acre. There Is no
portion of that great west Of $4,000
square miles in which the crop was
not good and the yields abundant. An
American farmer who was induced to
place under cultivation land that he
had been holding for five years for
speculative purposes and higher
prices, says that he made the price of
the land out Of this years crop of
oats. No doubt, others, too, who took
the advice of the Department of the
Interior to cultivate the unoccupied
land, have done as WELL
But the story of the great crop that
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta
produced this year is best told in the
language of the railways in the added
cars that it has been necessary to
place in commission, the extra trains
mage Of the grain steamers.
1t is found that railway earnings
continue to improve.
The c. P. r. earnings for the second
week of October showed an increase
of $4,000 over last year, the total
being only $4,000 below the gross
earnings of the corresponding week
of 1918, when the Western wheat crop
made new record for that date The
increase in G. P. r. earnings for the
only 1851, 1000, or less than half of the
increase reported this year. The
grain movement in the West within
the past two weeks has taxed the re-
sources Of the Canadian roads as
never before, despite their increased
facilities. The C. P. R. is handling 1000
cars per day, new record. The
G. T. r. and the c. N. R. are also max
ing new shipment records. The other
day the w. Grant Morden, of the Can
ada Steamships Company. the largest
creighter Of the Canadian feet on the
Upper Lakes, brought down a cargo OF
476,315 bushels, a new record for
Canadian shipping. Records are go
ing by the board" in all directions this
fall, due to Canada's record crop. Tho
largest Canadian wheat movement
through the port Of New York ever
known is reported for the period Up
to October 18th, when since shipments
Of the new crop began IN August,
4,265,791 bushels have been reloaded
for England, France and Italy. This
Is over half as much as was shipped
of American wheat from the same port
In the same period And, be IT remem-
bered, Montreal, not New York. is the
main export gateway for Canadian
wheat. New York gets the overflow
in competition with Montreal.-Ad-
