Vaccinate your Stock Against
Charlton
BY T. H. CASANOVA

Each year in this parish fam
ers lose thousands of dollars
worth of stock from charbOn
alone. There are number Of
causes for this great loss and if
the farmers would take some
measures of precaution great
many of these animals could be
saved. Charlton is an acute in
fictitious disease which is very
prevalent in Louisiana among
sheep, cattle, horses and mules
1t is caused by Bacillus anthracis
rod sha ped, nonmotile bacte
rum less than l-25 600 of an
inch long. The bacteria grow
very rapidly IN most artificial
cultures, and is especially pre-
velent along coolies and bay ons
and ponds, caused probably by
infection from carcasses or being
cob taminae by brzzard drinking
there, or other carriers of ihe
disease.
As with other infections di-
seases the prevention is always
better than cure and though
there is a epidemic of Charlton
In a neighborhood a farmer by
the proper precau'ion can keep
lis herd safe. Animals that
have plenty of shade, good feed
and plenty of good water that is
fresh and supplied other then
from coolies, canals and ponds
are in better condition to sur
vive a Charlton epidemic.
Anotherpiecaution that should
be followed by farmers through
out the parish is early vaccina-
ton Ordinarily during the
first part of March with good
anti-charbon vaccine. 1t there
Is an outbreak in the neIghbor
hood all of the stock should be
re-vaccinated during the middle
of the summer this neglect is in
measure the cause of stock
being lost during the latter part
of summer after they have been
fascinated. AS with other vac>

much from the trea 'ment and

It hae been said that from the
same materials one builds palaces,
another novels; one warehouses,
another villas; bricks and mortar
are mortar and bricks until the
architect makes them something
else. The block of granite which
was an obstacle in the path of the
weak becomes stepping stone in
the pathway of the resolute. The
difficulties which dishearten one
man only stiffin the sinews of anoth-
er, who looks on them as a sort of
mental springboard by which to
vault across the gulf of failure on
to the sure solid ground of full
success.

Our Pledge.

The family pledge hung on the wall,
And OH it you could see
The names of mamma and Mary Jane,
And Charlie---that is me.
We did not dare to ask papa
To write upon it, too,
So left a place for him to fill
Twas all we dared to do.

Came i'll the door that night.
And when we saw him read it
II put Us in a fright.
He did not say a word to US
Abont that pledge at all.
But oft we saw him look at it
Hanging upon the wall.
And every night when he came home
He stood and read it through;
We all kept still about its words,
Although we knew them through.
Four weeks passed and then one night,
When pa came home to tea,
He took the pledge down from its nail
And then turned to me.
Go get the pen and ink, my boy,
And let me fill that space,
II looks so bare" he slowly said
A queer look OH his face.
And then mamma sat down and cried.
tShe said it was for joy)
And Mary Jane, she cried some too.
| did not---I III a BOY
And papa said he did not drink
Since that first night when we
Had hung that pledge upon the wall
Where he our names could see.
And ever since that space was filed,
Mamma said so tonight,
Though dark may be our little room
One corners always bright.
