MANY CATTLE DIE
FROM STARVATION
DIR. Cary Says Past Winter
Bad On Live Stock

AUBURN, Ala, March 22.-(Spe-
cial. "A large number of cattle and
some sheep have died during January,
February and March this year, accord
ing to State Veterinarian Cary. Much
of this is due to want of feed. The
grass was destroyed by frost about
January 1, and the old dry dead grass
left on the ground did not furnish
enough nourishment to permit animals
to survive on it and Withstand the
cold weather, the cold rain, parasites,
and some infections. Many of the
losses could have been prevented by
proper feeding.
When animals get poor. parasites
and infections work on them much
more rapidly and effectively. The in
lection comes largely from dirty feed,
from muddy water, and from old lots
feeds such as bad hay, and bad water,
especially surface water. Oftentimes
feed and hay is thrown around in
muddy, bad places and weak animals
become infected in that way. Hence, it
is always wise to move sick animals
out of old muddy, unsanitary places
and put them on high, dry land. Give
them shelter from cold weather, and
cold rains, and see that they get pure
and plenty of feed,
Some of the animals, no doubt, have
stomach and intestinal parasites.

Residential building has begun here this
spring with indications that the spring
campaign will be the greatest in the
history of ALBANY and Decatur.
There has been a real demand for
more homes here, left as part of the
war legacy, and this fact alone would
have stimulated much construction,
aside from the belief that the Senate
will act favorably on the Ford offer.
The real estate market had become
exceptionally active during the past
four weeks and reports of many sales
and others pending are current.

Auburn, Alabama or Birmingham

gested to the Chamber of Commerce by

in a number of advertising signs be-
ing placed at advantageous places over
the country in behalf of Albany and
