Cholera. The former is known as
Accredited Herd Work" No less
than six highly trained specialists
have been detailed to work in Tonnes

communicable diseases among the
domestic animals of their county is
reported to exist, shall Immediately
cause the same to be investigated
preferably by a qualified veterinarian
and, should such investigation show
probability that such ami

communicable disease, the said Coun-

establish such temporary quarantine

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when
the prudent and careful housewife re-
plenishes her supply of Chamber
laiu's Cough Remedy. 1t is almost
certain to be needed before the winter

prompt and satisfactory when it is
kept at hand and given as soon as the
first indication of a cold appears and
before it has become settled in the

CONTROL OF ANIMAL DISEASES

The official control and eradication
of contagious animal diseases II
known as Live Stock Sanitary Contro
Work.
State and Federal Live Stock San
itary Control Work in order to be eff
fective must be properly organized
and intelligently directed. The Live
Stock Department of the State OF
Tennessee is now constituted, was
created by Chapter 156, Acts OF 1901
In 1907 and 1913 the original Act
was amended to conform to later day
knowledge along disease prevention
lines.
The function and duty OF the State
Veterinarian office-as the writer
understands its to foster and pro-
tect the live stock interests of Ten
nessee by preventing the introduction
of contagious and infectious diseases
from other States also to control,
suppress and finally eradicate those
infectious diseases that We have al
ready with us.
Good authorities pronounce the
Live Stock Sanitary Control Laws of
Tennessee sound, practical and we'll
abreast with the times. Some of the
animal diseases which these laws are
supposed to prevent, control and sup
press are as follows: Chambers, Ac-
tinomyosis lump Jaw, Infectious
Abortion. Anthrax, tuberculosis,
Blackleg. Hog Cholera, Swine Plague,
Necrobaccillosis, Cow Pox, BOURNE,
European Foot and Mouth Disease,
Haemorrhagic Septicaemonia, Johne's
Disease. Lung Worm, Contagious
Pleuro- Pneumonia, Hydrophobia, Tex
as Fever, Sheep Scab and Cattle Scab.
From an economic viewpoint 1t is
imperitive that these destructive dis
eases of animals be entirely sup
pressed, or at least prevented from
Spreading to any alarming degree.
To do this requires the constant ser
vice of veterinarians trained and
skilled in particular branches of Vet
Urinary Science. In addition to the
economic importance of controlling
these animal diseases, such work pos
sesses a human phase as many OF
them are transmitted direct from ami
mails to man by contact, and others
are indirectly communicable to man
through the medium of milk and
meat

munity. The newspaper man is a
natural booster-it is his natural in
clination. You may go into any COM
munity and make inquiries about the
location Of new industries, and you
will find that the newspaper has been
the chief factor in inducing new CAPT
tai and ne wbusiness to come into the
community. II is often the case that
the newspaper man is so interested in
boosting everybody else's business
that he neglects to boost his own in
the degree that it should.
The newspaper mans vocation is
one he can well afford to be proud of,
and one he is justified in boosting.
Others will respect the newspaper
and give it support sometimes when
some of the boosting" spirit is evil
denced in the interest of the news
paper.
The newspaper is the moulder of
public opinion--it makes and un-
makes politicians, and it is the power
above all others that makes for the
progress and prosperity of a COM
munity. The industrial development
in Tennessee during the last few de-
cades has been phenomenal, and it
has been brought about largely by the
spirit of the newspapers of the State
in advertising our great natural re-
sources in coal, iron, phosphate and
other minerals. And in similar de-
gree the great agricultural develop
ment of the State is largely due to
the spirit of cooperation shown by
the press of the State in cooperating
with the Department Of Agriculture
and the Division Of Extension in the
spread of knowledge of the best meth
DDS of farming. But there remains a
great deal to be done, and am sure
that the newspapers of the State will
continue to cooperate in the develop
ment of the agricultural interests of
the State, because they realize that
agriculture is the basis industry, and
unless the agricultural classes of the
nation are prosperous there can be no
permanent prosperity for the State
and Nation.
We are all interested in the agricul-
tural development of the State. Orig
inally our land in Tennessee was all
fertile, but we have followed sys-
tenn of farming that in many cases
has robbed the soil of it's fertility. On
every hand can be seen CALLED hill
sides, the result of poor farming. The
country newspaper reaches to every
part of the county in which it is pub
lished, and the broad policy of that
paper in its cooperation in preaching
the gospel of better farming will re-
suit in retaining much of the land
in the State that has been abandoned
as worthless; acreage will be increas-
ed and with better methods of farm
ing production will increase.
Every community in the State owes
it to itself to give unstinted support
to its home paper. The home paper
keeps the hearts of the citizens of the
community beating in unison, going
into the homes each week with all the
news Of the community, and general
ly with sane and kindly advice on
questions that directly affect the
community. The newspaper is pow
er for good, for progress and pros
perity, and the investment of the in
dividual citizen in its support is, one
of the best he can make.

Mrs. j. w. Page has two cows, one
Of them came into milk March 9th and
the other June LIST. The records show
that besides furnishing the owners
table they have an income of $4,000
for milk and butter that was sold in
Lexington. During October they
brought the owner $75.86. Recently
we were trying to convince a Hender-
son county farmer that he should
grow cotton. His reply was that the
Northern farmer was more prosper
Gus and not grow it. What we
want to emphasize here is that there
are numerous sources of income to the
Henderson county farmer and that he
should select variety of these so as
to keep his system safe and distrib-
ute his labor. One of the above cows
is high-class Jersey and we might
also say that the Northern farmers
do not keep bunch of cattle that are
just called cattle. You will find farm
ers who are making their living from
them and are not in the business just
for pleasure.

TALK TO FARMERS
THE COUNTRY PAPERS POWER
FOR GOOD.
By. T. F. Peck.

Some weeks ago / had something to
say in regard to newspapers of the
State, and the great power they exer-
cised for good in their communities,
and the duty of the citizens of these
communities to give their papers
their whole-hearted support. l feel
that few words more on this subject
would not be amiss, just now at the
time when the country papers are
calling attention to "Home Paper
Week."
For sixteen years | published a
country weekly newspaper, and dur
ing that time l learned many things
about its possibilities and its limita-

Will Franklin came to US about one
of the big problems in Henderson
county recently. He has some hills
that are pouring sand in on his bot
tom lands. He was anxious to start
young poplars to growing there so as
to check this condition. In many cases
we need this done just as badly as we
need drainage canals cut. In fact
there are thousands of acres of gull
lies that are increasing rapidly for us
each year.

Ellis Maness cut the sprouts off his

exercise lots.

there is not a more important factor
in crop production. Only last Satur-

his cotton on a loose seed bed so that
it could not come up quickly and the
usual result followed which was a
poor yield of the fleecy staple. Plan
now to avoid this condition next year.

Hogs are now selling in the South
end of Henderson county above the
st. Louis market. Many farmers do
not have sufficient hogs to clean up
the peas and beans in the fields, The
same condition just mentioned pre-

ty. The farmer who lays out a sound
policy of livestock production and
sticks to it will make money in the
long run. Few farms should be with
out a brood sow.
