STRICT SANITATION NEEDED
Contagious Maladies, Sporadic Ail
ment*, Parasitic Trouble*, Acci
dents and Neglect Are All
Quite Disastrous.
(Prepared by tbe United State* Depart-
i ment of Agriculture.)
Every year the people of tlie United
States lose over $1*00,1X10,000 directly
(and no one Knows how much Indi
rectly) through diseases of farm ani
mals. This is a large toll when di
vided on a per capita basis, and when
it comes home to the farm stock-rais
er who finds a valuable animal dead in
the barn, or an epidemic spreading in
to his herd, the loss is sometimes disas
trous. The most regrettable feature
of the case is that probably three-
fourths of the loss could be prevented.
Five Causes of Disease.
There are live principal causes of
disease and death of farm animals —
contagious diseases, sporadic disease,
parasitic troubles, accidents and ueg
lect. Contagious diseases cun be
avoided, or at least their consequences
greatly diminished, if farmers will
learn to co-operate with the United
States Deportment of Agriculture and
the various state livestock and sani
tary authorities, who are striving to
maintain anlmul health. Farmers
should report promptly to the nearest
officials any suspicion of the presence
at contagious disease, and they should
observe carefully all regulations in re
gard to quarantine, sanitation, and
car* of animals, as protection against
contagion.
Tuberculosis is one of tbe worst
scourges among animals anu it thrives
best in damp, dark, ill-ventilated sta
tries. It is less common among anl
mala funning at large. Eight, dry,
well-ventilated stables and dry, clean
barnyards or paddocks are essential to
•the health of farm animate. One val
uable point in combating contagious
diseases, especially tuberculosis, it to
start the herd with an finals that not
only ere free from disease, hot art of
Proper Care
Keeps Farm
Healthy.
Every family in Georgia should, at
the beginning of each year, make up
a budget of expenditures, embracing j Attempt tO Build
all necessities, and reasonable expec-1 Despotic Political
tancles. The income then must be 1
jfluul to or exceed this estimated ex
penditure.
The average American family Is un
acquainted with the word "budget,"
or if we grant that such a word Is
rather popular with a good per cent
of our population it has been used
mainly, if not altogether, in connec
tion with the financing of a bank, rail
road, church, school, college, univer
sity or possibly some unit of our gov
ernment. It would, in our opinion, be
foolish to attempt to ruD any of our
financial, commercial, governmental,
educational or church affairs without
first making a careful estimaie of the
gross income for the ensuing year,
therefore enabling us to ascertain just
what our expenditures' can be.
A budget plan enables us to not
only finance a proposition, but, at the
same time, gives us an opportunity to
study more carefully and scientifically
tbe conditions that hinder our Income,
and the reason for each item of ex
pense; therefore, affording us to, il
possible, remove the obstacles which
hinder a more ample income, and to
eliminate every item of preventable
expense.
In the family budget must, of ne
cessity, be included certain items com
mon to all families, auch as good
dothlng, light, fuel, houBe rent, or
taxes, and repairs, drugs and doctor
bills. TheBe, however, have a wide
range of variation, depending on
m%ny conditions, such eb number In
family, occupation, social standing, In
telllgence, Income, health, etc.
This article is mainly concerned
with tbe last named condition:
HEALTH.
No problem is more vital in guar
anteelng the possibility of an ade
quate Income than HEALTH. No
condition la more disastrous to the re
sources of the Individual, family,
community or country, than sickness.
Nothing necessitates the expenditure
of so much money for things then es-
sentlsl as disease. The economic, ed
ucatlonal, social and many other prob
lems have for their foundation physi
cal and menial fitness. This obtain*
at all times, but when other condi
tions are auch that the family incoms
is curtailed we are made to realise
more keenly the truthfulness of this
statement.
Therefore, at this particular thus
(January, 1921) it is especially Im
portant that our people take every
precaution to keop their bodies well
and their minds strong. The Income
of many Is less than It has been Is
several years, and many are totally
without employment by reason of our
depressed financial affairs. It would
be disastrous to udd to our economic

from the fact that the poorly nour

stock that is not predisposed to die-
ease. Official tests of herds are made
on request nml through co-operation of
tlie United States Department of Agri
culture with livestock sanitary offi
cials. Purchase of breeding stock
from these herds is a wise precaution.
Care also should lie taken to obtain
stock adapted to climatic and local
conditions. The other sources of nr I-
null less are largely a matter of In
telligent and careful handling.
Sporadic and incidental diseases,
such as disorders of the digestive and
respiratory irm-ts, can he avoided

chine With Georgia
Money
The bulletins of the Municipal
League of Georgia devote much space
to telling the people of Georgia about
how cheaply water powers have been
developed in Ontario and about the
low rates charged for electric servico
in Ontario, and how the farmers use
electric current to plow, wash clothes,
milk the cow and chum.
Of course the writer of these bulle
tins had to go a long distance from
home to find the conditions suitable
for a back-ground for his proposed
raid on the treasury of Georgia. On
tario is a great distance from Ge-r-
pia and few Georgians visit Ontario
Therefore, misstatements and half
truths could be uttered with mcro
safety.
Evidently there is nothing in the
results of ventures by cities in the
United States in Municipal Owner
ship of Publi • Utilities that appeals
to him. He did for a while refer to j
Seattle’s plunge into the street rail-1
way business, but when Seattle war,
forced to raise fares cn i.s municipally |
owned street car lines and beg tho ■
street car company to return the
bonds paid the Street Car Company
and take back tho system, ho was com
pelled to return to Ontario and its
municipalities, now burdened with ap
palling debt becaurc of their endorse
ment cf a venture In the Socialistic
doctrine cf public ownership cf pri
vate business.
The Truth About Ontario
Ontario is a long, long way from
Georgia, and the people in Georgia
could not know of the complaints of
commercial bodies nbout the poor ser
vice rendered, nor of the political ma
chine, throttling the energies of the
province, nor of the $70,000,000.00 of
expenditures for which the public ol
the province must eventually be taxed
In addition to paying ever increasing
deficiencies in operating the plants
and selling their products at less tkar
cost, nor of tho manipulations of rec
ords necessary to keep these deficien
cies hidden from the people. *■•-
Therefore, let us talk about On
tario. One of the greatest water
powers In the civilized world, Niaga
ra Falls, i3 at Ontario’* door. At
Niagara Falls more power can be de
veloped at leas outlay than at any
other spot in North America. The
flow cf water over Niagara Falls
comoared with the flow of the Streer-*-
of Georgia, mokes the stream flow in
Georgia appear ridiculous: The
money necessary to build a dam which
in Georgia impounds the flow of one
small stream, would at Niagara Falls
produco four times 'a* much hors*
power, and storage dams, absolutely
necessary In Georgia to bold water
for dry seasons, are unnecessary at
Niagara Falls 1 . In Georgia all the
real commercial water powers are in
the hill county, near the head waters
of the rivers, where the volume of
water u comparatively small. The
streams of Georgia during dry peri
ods become small and tho develop
ment of a largo and reliable quantity
of power requires great engineering
skill and largo expenditures of money.
Many dams must be built, some for
f generating stations and some to e'.oro
ar;;e bodies of water, for ure during
the dry reason. // Georgia hud <i
Niagara Falls within one hind red
miles of Atlanta, tho cost of develop
ing electric power would be greatly
decreased.

We arc in thorough sympathy with the universe desire to
reduce the costs of being well dressed.
But the cure is not in buying clothes at a low price, be
cause low prices will not buy clothes that are economical.
It is much wiser to pay a few dollars more for garments
that are well made and of good fabrics, because they are
the only kind that are enduring in their wear and Satisfac*
