Warns Farmers
About AHQuack
Curing Peddlers

eff a slick-tongued salesman comes
round and tries to sell you a sure
cure for sleeping sickness in horses,
send him on his. way before he .lnas
a chance to get any of your money!"
DR.. c. D. Grinnells, veterinarian at
the NJ c. Agricultural Experiment
Station, warns Tar Heel farmers.
Last years outbreak of this fatal
disease in horses, and the approach
of the 1888 season for another out
break, have encouraged peddlers of
nostrums to attempt to cash in on
the situation over a wide area.
The disease is limited almost en-
tirely to farm horses. The symp-
toms are of a nervous type as shown
by the mental condition of affected
animals, abnormal movements, and
paralysis. These symptoms are Of
ten preceded by a marked depres-
sion in the animals spirits. The
animal at first appears dull, then
gradually lapses into unconscious
ness.
The only preventive for sleeping
sickness so far discovered is vac
cination, and to be effective it must
be given at least 20 days before the
disease occurs. In other words, vac
cination must be given before the
animal shows any signs Of disease.
Other safety-first measures are:
Keep horses away from swampy or
creek-bed pastures, allow horses to
Craze in daytime if possible but
keep them in the stable at night,
take precautions to protect horses
from mosquitoes and insects, avoid
strange watering troughs and con-
tact with horses on other farms. If
horses stumble, stagger, or appear
sleepy, call veterinarian at once.

THE WAY OUT
Executive Notes
New Road For
Dealers Here

A new road for the build
ing industry was pointed out
Saturday by Pat Glasgow of
El Centre, Sones Lumber
company executive.
Contractors, dealers in building
materials. architects. plumbers, cleo
tricians, all those in connected
trades, arc still for the most part
operating along horse and buggy
lines" Glasgow declared in advo-
eating a Capitalization of building
activities that would permit
prospective home owner to buy
a home as he buys an automobile -
in one place. N.E
Auto Comparison
If an automobile buyer had to
buy a carburetor, then go to an
other store and arrange for a body
to be built. then purchase scores
of other parts in other stores and
later contract for labor to assemble
the whole into an automobile, there
would be mighty few cars sold.
And yet that is virtually the
same risamarole that home build
er is forced to follow. If the build
ing industry is healthy despite that
condition, think what it would be
if that condition were remedied!"
Glasgow recommended develop
ment along the line of the Housing
Guild program which advocates Or
ganization by material dealers of
clinics or "one-stop service sta
tions" that supply all the builders
needs at one spot-the dealers store
The plan is to create thousands
of guild members-Sones repre-
sentS the guild in Ell Centro-each
able to arrange all the bewildering
details that confront a prospective
builder. Already hundreds have
been established in the country at
strategic points sponsored by the
national organization and more
than three thousand dealers and
employees have gone to school for
training to represent active guild
members, Glasgow declared.
No Lost Business
He laid particular stress upon
the fact that individual builders or
contractors do not become mere
parts of machine, nor do they
lose business for themselves by
the organized system. The business
located by the guild system, he
declared, is of its own creation
home buyers that otherwise prob
ably would not invest
Here is one smash-hit method
of boosting one of the nations key
industries that appears to me, per-
sonally, as certain to succeed" Glas-
cow concluded.
