SOUND VIEWS.

The editor OF that sound Democratic
sheet, the Cha,feld Democrat, has been
investigating the financial question and
has come to the conclusion that the bel
lowings OF Wall street amount to moth
ing. He says:
The business interests of the country neither
ask or need imitation, but they cannot endure
speedy contraction. Nevertheless a speedy
pass age OF the resumption act. The National
banks have been steadily calling in their circu-
lation, in order to prepare for the not distant
day when they must be ready to redeem their
outstanding bills They have no other altern-
alive. The gold is not to bs had in sufficient
quantities, and they must reduce the volume
of their circulation to conform to gold STAN
dard.
The plan proposed by the Chicago Tribune,
that greenbacks shall be legal tender for all
debts contracted previous to given time, and
that new contracts shall have gold basis,
would also go far to simplify and make easy
the return 70 specie payments. But for the at
tempt to make political cs pital, there would be
but one voice among our public men for the
repeal of the resumption act, and it ID gratifv-
place the business interests Of the country

is so imperatively demanded.

their place with the rest Of the West.

We have labored for years to protect

the stnpid producers plundered by the
cunning non-producers. An eastern

coal miners says;

If the process OF contraction is to con-

THE HREENBACK PARTY IN RICE
COUNTY.

The meeting which we had the honor
of addressing on Saturday last at p.
m. at Faribault was one of the largest
we have ever seen assembled in the
state. II was made up Of men of all
parties, and from different portions OF the
county; and in point Of character and in
teliisence it would compare favorably
with any assemblage that could be gath
cred together in any part Of the United
States.
The progress OF the Independent party
in Rice county has been extraordinary.
Commencing two months ago with three
or tour men. it has progressed until it
now contains one third Of the voters OF
the county actually enrolled in its mem
bership. 1t has carried the city of Fari-
bault, electing Gen. Nutting, Mayor.
1t will certainly sweep the county next
tall, if il is wisely conducted, by two
third vote.
Aud what has been accomplished in
Rice county can be accomplished in ev-
cry county in the state if the same steps
are taken. Rice county is fortunate in
having in its midst such men as Hon

SWISS CATTLE.

We are not aware that the Swiss cattle
have been imported into this country. but
they bear q high reputation there and in
France. At four O'Clock in the. morning we
were awakened by the continued clanr of
the church bell and every other bell of any
size, and after that hour no sleep was to be
mad by any of the residents or strangers in
the little Swiss towns along the routes.
Ihese cattle are every morning. driven up
the mountains, and those on the side of the
mountains still further up, and are AGAIN
driven down in the evening-whilst those
who live in the valleys send them up into
the mountains, mostly to the care of a stall

Hence, mostly at an altitude of three thou
SAND feet, in a small chalet constructed for
the purpose, perched OH the mountain side.
ahe cheeses are made which are. sent to va
fious parts of the world, under the different
names OF the localities where they are pro-
JUDGED. For fonr, months they crop the
sweet mountain heritage, and gradually
work downward as the autumn approaches.
~ winter they are kept on the coarsest food.

They are hardy, usually of a dun color,

broad hips and quarters, with well devel-

much of the Jerseys, though of a coarser
build. They fatten well, and are excellent
mixers. The best COWS yield an average of
from ten to twenty quarts daily, and about

but does not prevent a horse falling, as it
falls with him whereas, if he is allowed the
free use of his head, he will generally be
able to save himself from falling. If a tight
bearing rein is used, it is impossible for a
horse to put out all his power, especially in
ascending a hill. If drivers could but be-
persuaded to try the effect of throwingito off.
they would be convinced OF the truth of this
remark, by the greater ease with which the
work would be accomplished.

scAB IN SHEEP,

The Scab in sheep, which is commonly
known as an eruptive affection Of the skin,
very highly contagious, and accompanied
with almost incessant itching, is caused by
minute insects like horse mites, but smaller.
called aca1s, which are conveyed from one
sheep to another, principally either by actual
contact or by being left in locks of wool on
trees or fences on which scabby sheep have
rubbed, and with which clean sheep after
wards come in contact.
Although no indications to be relied upon
as conclusive evidence of scab, unless the
insect which causes it. be demonstrated. The
disease, according to the progress it has made
is always accompanied by one or more of the
following symptoms, which should lead to
detection, viz:
Change of color in the f1eece.-The wool
on the back, shoulders, or rump appearing
OF a light color, from rubbing, or that on
the shoulders looking black or dirty, from
the sheep scratching with his hind feet.
Scratching or biting.-On watching sheep
for a time in which scab has existed for ten
days or more, some of them will be OBJ

scratch themselves very suddenly and keen
ly much more so than when affected with
grass seeds, which, also cause sheep to bite
and scratch, but in a slow and lazy manner.
Broken Wool.-White tufts or locks of wool
sticking out from the fleece on the shoul-
ders, back, ribs or rump. On the shoulders
these are picked out by tie hind feet; on
back and ribs with the teeth and on the
rurnp by rubbing on trees and fences.
Changes IN the sKin.-fhe skin, especially
on the shoulders and along the back, will
on these parts be gradually covered with
pustules., The skin of the affected parts on
being laid hold of, will feel thick and hard,

CANADIAN HORSES IN ENGLAND.

&
A correspondent Of a London journ;
writes that a number of Canadian horse!
purchased in the neighborhood Of Toront
and Montreal, have been brought over [
England with perfect safety and with a yer
profitable and encouraging result, and says
II went down to Worcester Park,
charming suburban village in Surrey, a fey
miles from London, where the stables ar
situated in which the horses are located
The animals were all in what [ call capita
condition, a little sabove themselves per
haps, but not SO fat as horses are generally
made in England by the dealers before sale
The importation wa a private speculation
and the importer intends to sail for Canadf
in about three weeks to purchase another
lot. Almost all of the first lot have founC
purchasers very readily here, although the
market for borses is falling a good deal from
the prices of the last three or four years.
"The animals were suitable to all pur-
poses, and were all warranted sound and
quiet to ride or drive. The average cost
price in Canada was $3.50, and the selling ay-
erage here has been e55, or 1915. The
price there is hardly a criterion of what a
horse would fetch here, but of this lot only
a dozen remained unsold when I visited
worcester Park, though many of the sold
OTIS still remained at the stables. One fine,
outstanding bay horse that was bought near
Toronto for $1O2 was sold to- a gentleman
for a brougham horse for e63. He was, in
hnrco JnS1nrc c1o,,o. 4I,o { 18TH IL. I..1 n (.
and made the top price. He looked very
like taking to the timber business, if prop
erly schooled for a hunter. All the sales
We're made to private buyers.
"The horses were shipped from New
York, owing to the boat from Montreal
breaking down. They came in the Wyo-
ming of the Guion Line, without a scratch.
in a patent apparatus which economies
room on shipboard and secures safety to the
animals. The cost was $50 a head from
Montreal to London, including every
pense..
1t is the opinion of many judges II
have seen this lot Of horses that Canadian
bred animals are better suited to the Eng
lish market than those of Kentucky. AS
they are the first lot of American horses ey-
er landed in London, they have been visited
by many persons interested. The Glasgow
tramWay cars have been partly horsed by
American-bred cattle, but none of these
horses are yet employed by the general ON
nibus Company, who are ready to buy to
any extent if the right sort is offered to them
the right price. The Company nave for
three or four years been paying about e35
head for horses Of a rough and useful
w~ear-and-tear stamp.
"Such was the interest felt in this con-
'ignment that the Agricultural Hall man
lgement expresses a desire to have them on
FieW at their establishment. Owing to the
iorse Show, however, this was impractical

NAIL IN A HORSES FooT.-A neighbor of

a most valuable horse by a CASUALTY by no

The horse trod upon a nail which entered
his foot. Lameness followed, the nail was
extracted, but lockjaw supervened, result

cases is muriatic acid. If, when a nail is
