One OF the worst wrecks suffered
by the Southern Pacific company in
southern Oregon in years occurred
Sunday morning at Idora. a lumber
camp, between Drain and Roseburs

three turned over on their sides.
The Idora wreck was somewhat
similar to the one which occurred

DISTINCTION TO
PREVENT DISEASE
Several WeII-KnoWn Substances
Win Destroy Bacteria.
CLEAN UP BARN THOROUGHLY
Careless Work Is Worse Than None
Because 1t Gives False Sense of
Security-Admit Abundance of
Sunlight and Fresh Air.

In any outbreak Of infectious disease
among animals on the farm or in the
neighborhood thorough d~isinfection OF
the premises is essential in prevent
ing its spread. Certain substances
such is freshly slaked lime, or I'M
slaked lime in powder form, Chord of
lime, carbolic acid, corrosive sublim-
ate, formalin, formaldehyde gas, or a
compound 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. Careless
d~isinfectiOn is probably worse than
none If it merely serves to give a false
of security.
In the disinfection of stables and
premises the following directions
should be carefully observed:
Sweep the entire interior surface,
including ceilings, side walls, stall par
titfOns, floors. etc., free of dirt and
dust.
Remove all accumulatfons of filth by
Scraping, and If any woodwork has
become decayed so hat it is porous
or absorbent it should be removed,
burned and replaced with new mate
rial.
If the floor is of earth, remove four
inches from the surface and replace
it with earth from an uncontaminated
source ;; or, if improvements are de-
sired, a new floor of concrete may be
laid, which is very durable and easily
cleaned.
ALI refuse material from the stable
and barnyard should be removed to
a place not accessible to the stock
and covered with freshly slaked lime.
The manure spread upon the fields
should be turned under immediately.
The entire interior of the stable,
especially the feeding troughs and
drains, should be saturated with q dis
%infectant, as a 3 per cent compound
solution of cresol, which would be 4
ounces of the compound to every gal

Take Care Of the Milk.

Here are ten suggestions which milk
consumers could employ, not only to
conserve the supply, but to guarantee
a more wholesome product for the
family: 3
1. Buy only the best milk ~Obtainable.
1t is cheapest in the long run.
y 2. Consult the health department be
fore selecting your milk dealer.
8. Buy only bottled milk if possible.
Dipped milk is often dirty and def
cient in cream.
4. Take milk into the house as soon
as it is delivered, and place it in the
refrigerator Immediately. Bacteria in
~creases rapidly in milk which stands
in the sun or warns up, and such milk
will sour quickly.
3. Keep milk In the original bottle
in the refrigerator until the moment of
serving. Milk which has been poured
from the bottle should not be returned
to it.
6. Keep the bottle covered with a
paper cap or an inverted tumbler, to
prevent the entrance of flies and Gust,
which may carry dangerous bacteria
into the milk.
z. Keep the refrigerator clean and
sweet by means of proper drainage and
frequent washing with scalding water
and sal soda, since milk quickly alb
serbs unpleasant odOrs and becomes
less palatable.-
8. Wash milk bottles as OOn as emp
tied; by rinsing first with lukewRrm
water and then with hot water. III
there is an Infectious disease in your
house, do not return any bottles ex-
cept with the knowledge Of the health
department and under conditions
which 1t may prescribe.
8. Return empty bottles promptly,
and do not use them for anything ex-
!. cept milk. Remember that they are
the property of the dealer and repre-
sent cash.
10. Remember that clean milk, prop
erly cared for, is one of the best foods
obtainable. 1t is nourishing, digesti-
bic and usually economical.

A FAMILY
MEDICINE
In Her Mothers Home, Says This
Georgia Lady, Regarding Black
Draught. Relief From Head
ache, Malaria, ChiIls, Etc.

Ringgold, Ca Mrs. Chas. CASTOR,
OF this place, writes: 81 am a~user
of Thedford's Black-Draught; in fact,
it was one of our family medicines.
Also in my mothers home, when I
was q child. When any of US child
ren complained Of headache, usually
caused by constipation, she gave US
q dose Of Black-Draught, which would
rectify the trouble. Often in the
Spring, we would have malaria and
chilIs, or troubles of this kind, we
would take Blaek-Draught pretty reg
ular until the liver acted well, and
we would soon be up and around
again. We would not be without it,
for it certainly has saved US lots Of
doctor bills. Just a dose Of Black
Draught when not so well saves q
lot Of days in bed"
Thedford's Black-Draught has been
IN use for many years in the treat
ment Of stomach, liver and bowel
troubles, and the popularity which it
now enjoys is proof OF its merit.
Il your liver is not doing its duty,
you VIII suffer from such disagree
able symptoms as headache, bilious
ness, constipation, indigestion, etc.,
and unless something is done, serious
trouble may result.
Thedford's BIacIl-nraught has been
found a valuable remedy for these
troubles. It is purely vegetable, and
acts in a prompt and natural way,
regulating the liver to its proper
functions and cleansing the bowels Of
impurities. Try it. Insist on Thed'
ford's. the original and genuine. q 79

~infectant is by means OF a strong
spray pump such as those used by
fruit growers in spraying trees, or a
sman garden sprayer may be used. All
hangers and feed boxes which have
been sprayed should be allowed to dry,
and then be washed cut with hot water
to prevent poisoning the stock. The
spray should be applied Immediately
following any outbreak, and as a mat
ter of precaution it may be used once
or twice yearly.
All stables, like houses, should have
ample window space in order to admit
a plentiful supply of sunlight and fresh
