'he True Democrat: In your issue of last Saturday by *equest of Mr. Richardson the Police NI fury had published "for comparison" p1 Ln ordinance relating to the charbon tc situation in the parish, submitted by a hi mommittee from a citizens' meeting. a ks one of that committee, I would re- a] luest a correction in so far as the li 'ecommending of an inspector is con- tl ,erned.

Ii Very likely few of our home people hi 'ealize what a large item the local tl xport of chickens and eggs is. In the he Irst nine days of July 1,836 pounds of li' ioultry were shipped from Bayou S. ;ara to New Orleans bringing an a ,verage price of 20c per lb. Taking ju he average of broilers alone it is ai iearly 35 cents the pound. Nor is at his an exceptional shipment for it has li' seen going on in a steady stream for he past two months. Poultry and bl eggs have a ready market in town or tl or shipment. The possibilities are at imense. a! The people of Woodville are even in sore advanced in the poultry bu~iness m han we are here. The ladies have m ormed a co-operative association for SE he sale of their poultry products, and tr ,re already finding it solves the prob- tl em of ready money. ot Remember that Mrs. W. T. Forrester ni epresents most of the strong insur- til ance companies of the nation, and is ai herefore equipped to look after all of al !OUR insurance needs. (Advt.) fr PINCKNEYVILLE NEWS.

Indeed we would not have quot d it at all, but a correspondent has tc lready written us concerning this ri tatement by the Republican, and as a here are many persons, who see both b apers, it is well to advance the a hought that the objection our con- at ;emporary makes to inoculation is true at )f all sorts of vaccination. If the blood w s bad, a person inoculated for small ox, has quite as bad an arm, even S rorse than if he had real small pox. 5s :n some cases, amputation, even death, iave followed, yet few persons deny E :he efficacy of vaccination. 1n For like reasons, some animals inoc- Ut] lated for charbon, may develop symp toms of the disease, but it could never n be so malignant as the disease itself o would prove in such an animal. p You can get prompt delivery by t parcel post on all furnishing goods e bought from E. A. Laboye, Baton i Rouge. (Advt) The rumor that Mr. Chas. Argue had tl contracted charbon was due to the fact that in inoculating stock at Laurel e Hill they had one bottle of bad serum, i which caused tetanus in a number of cattle on S. H. Lemon's place. As Mr. Argue had a sore on his hand, he I thought it best to go to Baton Rouge i for its medical examination,. A colored girl named Viola, employ ed by Mrs. John F. Irvine as a nurse, 1 was knocked unconscious Thursday night by a negro boy running into her a while at the train. Amendments put in the Roberts and 1 Manion equalization of assessment bills, preceding their advancenient to I third reading, practically killed them. I Thirty House bills, including the Audubon Park, the Dock Board river-. to-lake canal, Generelly registration and Fontenot United States Senators, were paaed by the Senate. BUYING LAND IN WEST FELICIANA. Mr. Lee O. Lester of Deming, New Mexico, has bought the "Court Smith" plantation in the 9th ward, belonging to Judge Thos. Butler, and will move his family here to live. Mr. Lester is a prosperous citizen of New Mexico, and will engage in general farming and live stock here. He will arrive within the next 10 days with a car load of brood mares and other live stock, for his plantation. Mr. Lester was for merly clerk of court of his couilty in New Mexico, and is hustling and up to-date. Mrs. Mary Montgomery, of Wichita, Kansas, has just bought the "Stirling Plantation" in the 7th ward of this parish and will move her family here soon to engage in general farming and live stock. Mrs. Montgomery brings her son, who recently graduated from the Kansas Agricultural School, and he is expected soon with a car load of live stock to start operations. Dr. E. S. Milford, of Deming, New Mexico, a brother of Mrs. Montgomery, has just purchased a plantation here also, and will move his family in shortly, and engage in farming and blooded live-stock raising. Here are three families of "bran new blood" coming into our parish, and they are all people of means and standing. And as all these new people are well connected, and hope to bring in other of their kindred, it looks very much like the long looked for move ment of a high class home seeker has set in. These new-comers were at tracted to our parish by Mr. J. R. Mat thews, who now has pending several other big propositions. The True Democrat welcomes these new people to our incomparable sec tion of Louisiana, and wishes them joy and prosperity, and that they will be able to induce their relatives and friends to come to West Feliciana.

FLOWER GIVES REGULATIONS i OF LIVE STOCK SANITARY BOARD b it FOR PREVENTION OF CHARBONb In view of extensive infection. of ea anthrax or charbon and the very nec essary sanitary precautions to be ob- n served, respecting the disposition of ci carcasses, the attention of the public a is hereby directed to regulation nine ti (9) of the Louisiana State Live Stock v Sanitary Board, issued June 5, 1*12, under authority of Section five (5) of Act 274 creating this Board. n Regulation 9 of the Louisiana State Live Stock Sanitary Board as c; amended and adopted, June 5, 1912. b, In order to prevent and control the a spread of anthrax or charbon, hog cholera, or other contagious, infectious, h or c6mmunicable diseases of animals b in the State, through possible error in diagnosis and the careless and insani- h tary disposal of diseased carcasses, it n shall be the duty of the Police Jury o of each parish to appoint one or more persons in each Justice of the Peace Ward as live stock sanitary officers, whose duty shall be to attend to the c immediate and sanitary disposal of the 0 carcasses of all animals dying in his or their respective Ward in the manner w prescribed by the Secretary and Exec- a' utive Officer of the Louisiana State P Live Stock Sanitary Board, to-wit: ti The carcasses of all animals shall be o1 immediately disposed of by burning or by burial in one or other of the follow- s Ing ways: Burning:-A suitable trench shall be 6 dug about two feet deep by two or a three feet wide, and of sufficient length t to accommodate the number of car casses to be burned at one time. Across ti the top of the trench should be placed I a sufficient number of green poles, or iron bars, if available, to act as a grid- c die on which to place the carcass. The I trench should be filled with kindling: f wood of some kind, and after the car- a cass is placed on the poles, it should e be heaped up with heavier wood, and t] the whole saturated with coal oil and ti set fire to. u In somue sections of the State, wood may be scarce, while coal oil may be a plentiful. In this case, a sufficient t number of old gunny-sacks, or other ii easily-inflammable material that will a absorb the oil as a wick, should be a placed at a safe distance, may be con- 1 ducted into the trench through a pipe, I and the flow so regulated as to keep I the absorbent material constantly satu rated with it. In any case, the burning t shall be continued until the whole of a the carcass is consumed in order to de- f stroy every particle of infection. t The trench method of cremating, or I burning, is much less expensive than i by burning the carcass upon the sur face of the ground, as by the former 4 ,a draft is created, ans with fire above m :and below, consumpti4p is much quick- I er and with much less expense of time : Sand material. SBurial:-A hole, or pit, shall be dug of not less than six feet deep, so that .there shall be a space of not less than four feet from the upper surface of the Ibody of the carcass to the surface of a the ground. SWhere there is suspicion, or the fact is known, that an animal has died of a contagious, infectious, -or communica ble disease, such as 'charbon, or an thrax, hog-cholera,' etc., four. to six' inches of lime shall be placed over the. bottom of the hole, or pit, the surfacq. of the carcass covered with lime to thd." same depth, and the hole filled in withl earth. - A hole or pit fdr this purpose shal" not be dug in. the vicinity of any water course, or well, in order that contaml nation 'of such water supply, by infec. tion from the carcass, may be .pr,0 vented. In communities where public ani crematories are available, carcasses may be disposed of in such crematoriei Where possible, and practicable, car casses shall be disposed of, either by burning or burial, where' they lie, or are found. When carcasses have to be removed for proper sanitary disposal, they ashl be conveyed to the place of final dill position in, or on, some suitable ve hicle, as a wagon, cart, sled, etc., aqd not dragged along the road, highway, or field, as infeption may very easily be spread in this way. In case of the removal of chartlonors carcasses, especially, the niatuz'al body openings shall be pluglgeup, 4otop ped, with lint cotton or tow saturatid with an effective germicidal agent, such as crude carbolic acid, etc., to prevent and disinfect any discharges that would otherwise issue from such openings ahd 'leate fres1a1ieidters of infection. And, the ground on whih such carcasses shall have lai, jeviops to removal, shall be burn%`-oer, or carefully and thoroughly sprinkled ih a strong solution of crude carbolic toid, the various coal tar dips, or other eec - tfve germ-destroying agent, in order to eradicate whatever infection .rpy have been left on said ground. I All vehicles used in the removal of carcasses, and particularly" of infte 8 carcasses, shall be thoroughly dlsin fected with some effectiveegerm-kIltig agent, such as those already mentipn ed, immediately after beintused. Vjen the vehicles are of little or no m e tary value, it is safest to burn up after using. " While sanitary burial aiidtia d, as above given, may be quits effective, the process of burning, as described, is safer; is the true hygienic method I of disposing of carcasses of all kinds; and is the one urgently recommended, " in all cases, when possible, by the Louisiana State Live stock Sanitary i Board. The Police Juries are hereby au Sthorized and empowered to prescribe r such penalties as they may deem nec - essary for the punishment of the sani tary officers appointed by them who r fail to perform, or neglect, their i duties. Any owner, or owners of such car r casses who shall in any way interfere a with the sanitary orders of the Police c. Jury or its live stock sanitary officer, e or officers, shall be guilty of a misde meaner as provided by Act 274 of the g session of 101 . t DR . E PGRAM FLOWER, a Secretary and Executive Officer.
