LEWIS TELLS OF
CH ARBON AND
SYMPTOMS
(:. (. Lei is, Farm Demonstrator.)
1 should have written th s article
:ast week, but being rushed so much
:t wa; not done.
I hear so many reports on the
cause of death to a large number of
rattle in and around Covington that
I bel'eve I should write a bit any
x ay. We will take this up in ques
ions and answer them.
1. how do I know that we have
charbon? From the fact that every
blood smear cent to the laboratory
and state chemist showed anthrax
germ or bacilli in apundance.
2. I-jew can any one tell charbon
by looking at or testing a blood
smear? From the fact that charbon
is a disease by itelf . There are
no other diseases with germs as
plent'ful and as large ac those found
in the blood taken from an animal
just after death. It is a very easy
matter to see these snake-like germs
under a microscope.
3. A prom nent veternarian from
New Orlean, treated animals be
longing to C. Bradley; he also pro
nounced the disease charbon.
I. What other ways can a person
detect charbon in'fair degree of ac
curacy? By making an examination
of the body two or three hours after
death. The points that might be
found that would indicate charbor
are swelling of belly, being swelled
;o tight that a basebal would bounce
back 1 ke it had been thrown againa
a drum. Also a watery discharge
from nose and sometimes from bot-i
nose and mouth. This discharge wil
in a great many cares have a small
amount of blood and yellow pa,
mixed with it. Then from the awful
swelling the rectum will be par
tially turned out with bloody dis
charge. In 19 cases out of every 20
one will be safe in saying the animal
died with charbon, if above symp
toms are found. There are other
point; to be considered 'but there is
not room here to take the diseas'
up in detail. If one is in doubt get
a small piece of glass, about two
inches square, and clip the ear part
ly off, not all the way for it might
be left on the ground to cause fur
ther infection. Hold the glas just
under the clipped part and by press
Ing a small bit of blood can be got
ten and allowed to dry on the glass.
After blood is dry place another

FIREMEN PLAN
FOR BIG DOINGS
IN COVINGTON
JULY 4TH
Parish Fair Grounds Have
Been Engaged for the
Occasion.
RACING IS AMONG
THE ATTRACTIONS.
Fireworks, Speaking, Danc
ing, Athletic Games,
Other Amusemetn.
The Covington Fire and Benevo
lent Association is preparing a pro
gram for the 4th of July celebration
that promises to be a good drawing
card on that day. Besides the usual
attractions of such an occasion, the
faithfulness with which the associa
tion has clung together as a volun
teer body should create strong senti
ment among the people to make the
affair a success.
There will be speaking, fireworks,
athletic games, horse races, music
and dancing. The Fair Grounds
offer excellent accommodations for
amusement of this kind, and even
without the large number of outside
visitors that may be expected to
come, Covington people should crowd
the grounds and dancin hall. It is
due to the firemen that they should
be given royal support in making the
day a success, as a day of celebra
tion and financially.
The full program and further par
ticulars will be given next Week.
In the meantime make up your mind
that you will not be a slacker on this
occasion.
