113 Hones Inoculated to Prevent

Forage Poisoning

Last Tuesday, the State Department of Animal Industry, sent Dr. Krouse, State Veterinarian, to Cape May County to Inoculate horses. One hundred and thirteen horses were treated In the Goshen, Dennisvllle

and Eldora sections.

The object of the inoculation is to prevent the disease of •'Forage Poisoning," also known as “Meningitis.” from spreading among the horses. It seems that the organism which causes the disease la associated with molds and other fungi that sometimes grow on hay and other food taken by the . orse. To prevent this disease organism from having any effect upon the borne, the veterinarians have devolved upon the plan of Inoculation In advance of the disease, thus making the animal Immune for a Short period, much after the same method that Is used In Immunising hogs from cholera by Inoculation. As a result of a case of the disease breaking out at Melvin Abbott's farm. Goshen, the fanners In near-by sections decided to have their horses inoculated by the State

Department, and. conaegue n 11 y , 1 Benzine, as it hss been called for through the help of W. 8. Thompson, | short. It should be covered with Frank High, V.. G. Thompson.

does no harm to the animal, even If It should do no good. Because the treatment Is somewhat unproven in general practice, is the reason why the State Department Is making no charge for the serum. If any group of farmers In the county care to have their horses treated, they ear list their animals with the Office of Farm Demonstration. which will communicate the information to Trenton. Rerum will only be brought Into the county on order, so If any more horses are U. be treated In the county, they will naturally have to be listed In ad-

vance.

As the State Veterinarian ran short of serum In Eldora. It will be necessary for him to return again soon. If others want the work done

they should report at once.

Dr. F. G. Steinbach. Veter n art an at Wildwood, Is an advocate f the serum treatment, but stair. that there Is no cause fjr ur--e alarm as there are a few cases oi the disease each year In Cape May County and several of these cases have been

cured.

Why Dig For Peach Tree Boren? The old way of taking a sharp Instnifnent, a hoe and a wire and crawling around every peach tree In the orchard In search of borers has been passed up as worse than obsolete for trees over five years of age. The new way to kill peach tree borers Is to sprinkle paradlchloro-' bentlne (about three-quarters of an ounce per tree) around the butt of the tree on a level with the exuding gum. The chemical should not touch the berk of the tree but should not be farther than an Inch from It. After the application of the P-C-

Brunswick. September 13, lit!)

Every editor has his ups and downs, but when we think, of the anomalous position of an editor at a summer resort we feel disposed to bear some of our own grief with fortitude. For practically nine months of the year he Is obliged to go Into retirement, as it were, and live off the fruits of a season of plenty. He spends the long, cold daya of e inter praying to the Almighty for the return of warm, southerly breezes and the annual Influx of tired city dwellers to again brighten up hla life and retard a long too familiar strain on his coffers. Then comes - the deluge of broken down clerks, tired business men and worn out health aeczera. The city Is transformed over night A vast amount of seasonal advertising begins. and the editor is forced to engage new mechanics, which are usually of a second rate typo 5 —a resort fiouter perhaps.

EXPRESSES thanks My Dear Mr. Editor:—

I trust I may be given a corner of your paper to voice my praise to our worthy Mayor Mr. Fitch. George Whittington. Manager of the Electric Light Plant, William Stevens and son. our summer Life Guard, and the fisherman who worked so zealously to save the beach front last Thursday night. Too much praise could not be give.-* these men for tnelr work, as there was no d-mage. but the damage would have been great If the wreckage would have been left to remain for the morning tide. I was informed by a citizen of Sea isle City that every householder was summoned but none responded but tbeee men. Where were they, they did not come forward until 6:00 A. M.. and then it was with wheelbarrows aid carta to cart away what was thrown on the boardwalk and side streett to their homee. I think that the men of Sea Isle City should have been as anxious to come at the Mayor's call to save the piling and expense to the city, as they are to ran for the fire whistle. #

j I know the beach front property

owners voice my sentiments.
