INFLUENZA GETTING BETTER
HERE

From the reports received from
several Of the physicians in this city
today the influenza seems to be get
ting better among our civilian popula-
ton. Every physician reported that
all their patients suffering from that
disease were improved, with splendid
chances for ultimate recovery. There
we're only a few new cases reported,
Those under treatment at the Bridge
street hospital were reported as get
ting along nicely.
The general conditions throughout
the country are improving, especial
ly in the East where normal condi-
lions have been resumed in several
large cities.
The public ledger. [volume] (Maysville, Ky.) 1913-1968, 1918-10-22

In other European countries, includ-
ing Greece, Italy, Holland and swe-
den. At the end Of 1915 smallpox was
prevalent and the Dutch East Indies.
II has been appearing also in various
South American republics and in Mex
leo; also, but in milder form, in the
United states of America.
1.-TWO considerations emerge from
the above observations The first, al
ready above observations. The first,
already indicated, is that, as the war
continues in Europe and in the Near
East conditions hav arisen which tend
to aggregate susceptible populations
under insanitary arrangements, with
overcrowding and consequent lower
ed vitality. This must tend to pro-
mote the spread of smallpox and in
tensify its type and virulence. The
second is that even the present de-
gree of prevalence is sufficiently SER
ious to make the frequent introduce
ton of smallpox into the United King
dom from the Continent likely event.
This will be still more likely if Con-
tinental epidemics of the disease be-
come more severe and widespread;
while, should a general intensiflcation
of Continental smallpox concide with
the end of the war and the resumption
of free communications, the opportun-
tiles of introduction of infection into
this country will become numerous
and serious.
1.-THE comparative absence of small
pox from the British Islands OF late
has blinded many people to the neces-
sity and Importance of obtaining arti-
fetal protection against the disease.
There is a consensus of medical opin-
ion that in countries where vaccina-
ton is generally enforced the deaths
from smallpox have practically disap-
peared, and that the majority of those
who now contract the infection are
either unvaccinated or inefficiently
vaccinated persons, or who, having
attained adult age and having been
vaccinated in infancy, have neglected
to renew by revaccination the worn
out protection impaired in infancy.
There can be no reasonable doubt that
if efficient vaccination in infancy and
revaccination at school age or early
| adolescence were efficiently carried
cut and the practice made universal,
deaths from smallpox would be among
the rarest entries in the register.
SHOULD smallpox of a virulent kind
reach this country during the present
war the administrative machinery for
dealing with it may, in places, be
found defective, for medical officers OF
health, public vaccinators, sanitary
inspectors, vaccination officers, and
other officials have in many instances
been called up for military service
and their places temporarily filled by
| less experienced men. For these and
other reasons it is extremely unwise
| to postpone vaccination till a small
FOX epidemic has developed. Security
should be obtained by individual ac-
tion without delay"

SMALLPOX MAY
'"-' '" VISIT US NEXT
British Officer Warns Against Spread
Of the Disease-Liable to Fol-
low the War.
Montreal Gazette)

The possibility and even the proba-
bility of a worldwide epidemic of
smallpox as a result of the war is dis
cussed by DR.. r. Bruce Low, in
Blue Book. issued by the British Lo-
cal Government Board. The pamphlet
includes the following passages:
"The last great epidemic which in
volved the whole of Europe developed
at the time of the Franco-Prussian
War in 1870, and there is possibility
that history may repeat itself, and
that very serious outbreak of small
pcx, spreading again over the whole
of Europe, may develop during or i'm
modiately after the present war. 1t
is a moderate estimate that the cpl
demic of forty-seven years ago, car
ried off more than half million of
human lives in Europe.
1.-THE circumstances of the present
war resemble in certain particulars
those of 1870, but the armies of the
present day are on farX aster scale
than those of forty-seven years ago,
ard the opportunities for mischief, if
Lille conditions to those of 1870 arise,
would be infinitely greater. One of
thu present belligerentsc, Russia, had
at the war, in 1914 and since, con-
siderable prevalence of smallpox
within it's borders. Many Russian sol
diers have been made prisoners and
interned in Germany. Small poX has
developed among the captured Rus
SLASH soldiers have been made pris-
oners and informed in Germany. Small
poX has developed among the cap
tured Russians and spread recently to
the civil poulation of Germany. In
these events are the possible makings
of a European epidemic. In addition
the civil poulation of Germany has
been increased by the deported popu-
lations of Russias western provinces,
of elgiaum, and of Northern France,
and these unfortunate people are now
living in Germany under unwhole-
some conditions, associated with much
bodily and mental suffering, which are
not unlikely to make them more sus-
ceptible to infection, especially as
among these people vaccination has
not been generally enforced.
ALSO besides the present prevail
ence of smallpox in various parts of
Germany the disease is epidemic in
Austria, especially in the Galician
war zone. 1t is habitually prevalent
among native POPULATIONS in Egypt
and Turkey and along the shores of
the Mediterrainean-in Tunis, for eX-
ample-and is so at the present time.
In Spain it is now appearing in some
Of the large towns; and in smaller
numbers smallpox cases are occurring

its high protein content. 1t makes
better balanced ration and keeps better
when combined with small grain,
which should be mixed with the peas
in sowing if the crop is intended es-
pecially for ensilage.
The field peas intended for ensilage
usually are planted in mixtures with
bald barley and cut when the barley
is ripe. Yield average from eight to
twelve tons to the acre. Pea ensilage
has higher feeding value than corn
ensilage, but should be fed in connec-
ton with grain ration. For fatten-
ing both cattle and sheep 1t has given
excellent results, but is most popular
with the dairyman.
One source of pea ensilage is the
refuse Of pea canneries. This material
is not often placed in a regular, silo.
but Is stacked up green as it comes from
the cannery and allowed to ferment in
the stacks.
Field Peas as a Green-Manure and
Cover Crop.
The field pea is we'll suited for use
as green-manure crop in orchards
and is used quite extensively for this
purpose in the citrus orchards of Cal
ifornia. No other crop except vetch
Is so well adapted for this use in the
southern part of that state.
When used for green manure the
peas should not be plowed under I'M
til they have reached their maximum
growth, unless other conditions con-
nected with the main crop require
that the blowing be done earlier.
The most favorable time will prob
ably be reached. about the time the
| first pods are well filed.
The varieties selected for use as q
green manure or cover crop should
be those which are known to be adapt
ed to the locality, and one with good
sized vine is to be preferred over those
that make heavy yield Of seed. The
large MarrOwfat peas, such as the Ca
madam Beauty, Arthur, Paragon, ant
Mackay, are well adapted for this pur
pose, as are also the Prussian Blue anG

BLACKLEG CAUSED BY GERMS
cinated Before II Picks Up
Little Organisms.

Blackleg is caused by a small germ.
an organism about one three-thou-
sandth Of an inch long. This organism
multiplies very rapidly by one organ
ism dividing into two individuals and
these again dividing in the same way.
Also by producing very much smaller
spores or seeds. These spores are very
hardy and resist extreme heat and
cold. remaining alive sometimes for
many years. AS a consequence when
a pasture. corral or feedlot Is once
contaminated with the organism there
is no telling how long it will harbor
the Infection. Disinfecting such prem
cination. In all contagious or germ
diseases the animals most likely to get
sick are those whose constitution is
more or less weakened from any cause
at weaving time. after changing from
poorly fed to heavy feeding or vice
versa. Immunizing beforehand insures
safety. Highly bred calves are also
more susceptible than scrubs. Many
operators report perfect results when
they vaccinate at the same time they
brand. dehOrn. or castrate. Vaccinate
any time for blackleg.
When calf is turned upon infected
ground 1t picks up some of the spores
which gain entrance to the body in
various ways - through the bruised
skin, through the mouth either with
animal licking itself. These spores
Immediately come into active life
begin to grow and multiply, and If the
the food and water or merely by the
animal is susceptible one it con.
tracts the disease. If 1t is immune
the germ will have no effect whatever
upon 1t. Therefore. immuniZe the calf
with a reliable vaccine before it picks
up these organisms.
