ANIMALS
AVOID SPREAD OF INFECTION
Thorough Distinction Is Essential to
and Efficient In Preventing
Contagion.

In any outbreak of infectious dis.
. ease among animals thorough disin.
lection of the premises is essential to
preventing the spread of the conta-
gion. Certain substances, such as
fresh slaked lime or unslaked lime in
powder form, chloride of lime, car
bolic acid, corrosive sublimate, for
malin, formaldehyde gas, and com.
pound solution of cresol possess the
power of destroying bacteria with
which they come in contact. To make
the use of such substances OF value,
however, the work must be done with
the utmost thoroughness.
In the disinfection Of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed: q,
1. Sweep ceilings, side walls, stall
partitions, foers, and other surfaces
until free from eoBHsbs apd dgst,. 4.
2. Remove all acedmulations Of
filth by scraping. and II woodwork has
become decayed, porous, or absorbent,
II should be removed, burned, and re:
placed with new material
8. II the floor is Of earth, remove
4 inches from the surface, and in
places where 1t shows staining with
urine a sufficient depth should be re-
placed to expose fresh earth.
4. All refuse and material from sta
BILE and barnyard should be removed
to a place not accessible to slaked
lime.
5. The entire interior of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, should be saturated with a dis
infectant, as a per cent solution Of
compound solution of cresol GU. S. p ,
which would be four ounces of the
compound to every gallon of water.
The best method of applying the dis
infectant is by means OF a strong
spray pump, such as those used by
orchardsists.
This method is efficient in disin-
lection against most of the conta-
gious and infectious diseases of ami
mails, and should be applied immedi-
ately following any outbreak, and, as
a matter of precaution, it may be used
once or twice yearly.

TUESDAY, APRIL a

Four hundred American cavalry
men, under the command Of Col.
George A. Dodd, fell on Villas force
of 500 men March 20, scattering them
in many directions, and driving the
bandit chief, wounded and crippled,
TO seek hiding place IN the noun
tains. Villa was hurried from danger
III a carriage. For seventeen hours
the veteran colonel, with his picked
troopers of the Seventh and Tenth
cavalry, drove down the valley of the
Santa Maria river. At the end OF a
ffty-fve mile ride they fell upon the
unsuspecting Villa camp, where five
hundred bandits were celebrating the
massacre Of 172 Carranza soldiers two
days previously at Guerrero.
Villa, shot through the leg, and
with one hip shattered, was hurried
from the scene, barely in time to es-
cape the onslaught of the Americans.
The bandits made a brief but hopeless
stand before a charge Of Col. Dodd
and his troopers. Then they broke
and fled, leaving thirty-one dead on
the field, including their commander,
Gen. Eliseo Hernandez. Two machine
guns, number of horses, rifles, am
munition and equipment fell into the
hands of the Americans.
Among the known wounded is
Pablo Lopez, Villas lieutenant in the
Columbus raid. The American cas-
ualties were four privates wounded,
The American soldiers did not ling
er on the field Of victory. For five
hours they drove the enemy before
them into the wilderness Of mountain
peak, desert and canyon, where roads,
or even trails, ere unknown, and
where a misstep means death to horse
and rider. They halted only after the
chase had led them ten miles and the
fugitives were scattered into little
bands of half a dozen men each.

Senator in each of these States:
