VdCCinate Animals
By March First.

All animals should be vaccinat
ed regularly where charbon once
existed, and the owner should
not wait until the disease has
broken out, as it requires about
one month from the first injec-
ton for the animals to become
protected. 1t is better to set date
on which to begin vaccination
each year. This should not be al
lowed to pass without having the
animals given the first dose of a
double-dose vaccine. They ought
to be protected by the first of
April, as charbon, as arule, rare
ly breaks out previous to that
time.
The symptoms of charbon vary
according to the channetthrough
which the infection (germs) en-
ter the system, and may be from
sudden without any extern
al signs, to sickness for a few day
with swellings on the exterior of
the body. Where the infection
has been inoeulated through the
skin, a primary swelling will be
seen at each point of inocula
ton. Hogs usually show swelling
of the throat, which is sometimes
mistaken for sore throat or quinsy
During the summer months, es-
pecially where chsrbon has pre-
yiously existed, all cases of sud
den death should be looked up
on as suspicious of charbon, and
the carcasses treated as such, as
most of them are likely to have
resulted from that disease, and il
is much safer not to take any
chances. Besides, the regulation:
of the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board require this.

Julian Street Writes Of
City.
Golfers las Article Devoted to Old
New Orleans and Mardi GraS.

Appearing as the leading arti-
Gle of Golfers for February "a
is delightfully."- intimate and
characteristic word painting of
New Orleans by Julian Street.
The article is mainly devoted to
the old New Orleans its history,
Latin traditions, social gayeties,
quaint lore, Mardi Gras and
French restaurants. But Mr..
Street admits that of late years
New Orleans has developed an
almost perfect case of dual per-
sonaIity, and he finds space to
enumerate some of the accom-
Dlishments that have placed the
city in the rank of progressive
municipalities planning carefully
for the future. He also pays tri-
butte to the Association of Com
!. merce.
The City of the Creole and
Mardi Gras" is the title, and the
cover design is supposed to be
apropos, though evidently the
product of an artist who never
saw a Creole or a Mardi Gras cell
ebraton.

Pastor Of ST. Philip
Departs.

Reverend ]. w. A. Jansen,
who tor the past five months,
has zealously and successful
ly administered the affairs of
the Parish of st. Philip, de-
parted Tuesday morning for
his new field of labors. He
has been assigned by Archbis-
hop Blenk, as assistant at
Abbeville.
1t was with deep regret
that the parishioners OF St.
Philip bid Father Jansen
farewell. During the few
months that he held the rec
torship ofSt. Philips Church,
this energetic young priest,
by his zeal and fidelity, en-
deared himself to all.
The parishoners will always
hold him in the highest es-
TEEN.
Reverend B. Fontaine has
been assigned to the rector

Good Drainage Often
Means Good Crops.

A properly drained soil may
be worked earlier and later than
a apoorly drained one. The length
OF the growing season can be
increased from one to three
weeks in some cases, to say
nothing of being able to get on
the land sooner after rain. This
extra time, at the beginning of
the season especially, frequently
means the difference between a
good crop id absolute failure.
E. B. Dor N, assistant prores-
scr of agror 0my, Louisiana State
University, gives other reasons
for farm drainage, as follows:
/. To remove surplus water.
Soil that is saturated with water
is not in condition to produce or
dinary farm crops. Water is pres
ent in the soil in more than one
form but for practical purposes
We may say that capillary mois-
ture is the only form of water
that ordinary farm crops can
use. All In excess of this, such as
free or flood water, is injurious.
2. To ventilate the soil. If the
soil is saturated with water all
air is excluded, end this. among
other things, prevents all bacte-
rial action having to do with
nitrifcation or breaking down of
the organic matter essential to
plant growth. Again, such soils
tend to become sour, or acid, and
this is harmful to plant growth
8. To lower the water table. If
the level at which the soil water
is relatively high the feeding
area for the plant roots is limited
On the other hand, if the plants,
at the beginning of their growth
can send the roots to a consider
able depth q larger root system is
developed and in time of drought
the plants are not as likely to
suffer.
4, To prevent soil erosion.
Whenever water runs off the top
of the land it usually carries with
ita large amount of fine top soil
This is a severe loss in many
ways, and may be prevented by
proper drainage. A well-drained
soil will absorb much of the sur
plus moisture.
5. To warm the soil and length
en- the season. A we'll ventilated
oil is a warm soil because, be-
ing we'll drained, the moisture is
not allowed to evaporate at the
surface. Any surface fro-o which
moisture eEaporates is cooled. -

LIBERTY and WHISKY
WON'T MIX IN VA.
-Four Champions of Personal Rights
Land in Lookup.

They were getting ready to sign
some sort of declaration of independ-
ence all over again down In Meek
lenburg. N. c., last night, mebe, and
then the very government they had
helped organize ''butted in" The
government was represented by three
distinctly unfriendly chaps, who said
they came from the Department Of
Justice.
As a result, there was no celebra-
tion in North Carolina last night.
Anyhow, not the one that was plan
ned. Neither will there be any to-
night. Something went wrong.
The celebration was conceived In
Washington. Four men were respon-
sible; all white. They had both
money and wisdom of the needs and
desires of the South. They admitted
It.
But they admitted 1t too often.
There was a good listener present
who had read Milton. He knew that
they also serve who only stand and
wait"
So he waited.
Meanwhile, the four wise men load
ed fifteen suitcases with raw, red
liquor, joyously bought tickets for
their North Carolina destination, and
went their way.
They didn't go far. Just as soon as
the man who had listened saw them
safely started he did some telephon-
ing.
As a result. the four wise ones were
hauled of the train at Alexandria,
their bad, red liquor confiscated In
the name of the government. and
themselves taken to Falls Church to
face a United States commissioner
on a charge of violating the Reed
bone dry law" which prohibits the
taking of wet goods into dry, country.
The men are being held under ball
for further action. The liquor will be
held as evidence.
1t Is said that all the men came
from Baltimore.
