assume vast proportions. There is re-
ally great waste In "deaconlng,' and it
is according to the fitness of present
things that q large proportion OF West
ern calves should he shipped to regions
too remote for diaries, there to become
| beeves. II it We're not for this fact
the pleuro~pneumonia question would
| possess no s~elt-interest for the West.
Pleuro-pneunonia is bred by con-
tinemeni. Cattle want the fresh air OF
the pasture. In many parts OF Europe
and some parts OF the United States
they are kept in stables the year around
while al the West the cattle are shut
up in close barns, ii at ali, which is
rare. only when the extreme inclemen-
cy of the weather demands it. Our
Western system OF stock-raising is at
least absolute safety against indigen-
Gus pleuro-pneunlonia. its prevalence
at the East has been greatly eNaggera-
ted. 1t is almost wholly confined to
the seaboard Of the Middle States. In
the near vicinity of Washington pa
tients might he found for DR.. Loring's
experimental veterinary hospital, but
the Commissioner must not fall into
the error OF mistaking "the rustic muir
muir OF his berg" for the lowing Of our
Western herds.
In the statement in question it is as
serted that "the annual losses accruing
from diseases among cattle Of all kinds
are above 1Oper cent, without referring
to the accidents of storms such as have
recently produced disastrous results in
the cattle regions of the southwest"
Had the statement been that the losses
Of this year for the entire country, ow-
ing to the severe storms of the entire
ranch region, southwest and northwest
both, We're fully 10 per cent, the asser-
ton would have been very near the
truth. The cattle drift with the wind,
and often perish with thirst. The
streams are frozen, and, perhaps, not
found at all, and death is inevitable.
In ordinary seasons, however, the loss
es on the plains do not average owe 2
per cent a year.
The aggregate number of cattle in
the country at the present time is not
far from thirty-fom millions, and the
actual loss from pleuro-pneumonia any
year was almost below estimate. The
Importance of stamping it out is to
guard against the future, and, above
all, to remove foreign prejudice against
American live stock, aprejudice which
works very great loss to the general
cattle interest Of the country, but more
especially Of the West-a remarkable
instance Of vicarious punishment with
out the redeeming feature Of any ac-
tual atonement. Inter- Ocean.

Cattle, East and West.

Abatement was sent out from Wash
ington the other day in regard to the
livestock interests which deserves spe-
cial attention. Some of it's statistics
are presumably correct, or, to be more
exact, may be supposed to rest on Off
cial information on file in the Interior
Department; but the general idea per-
vading it is all wrong. This statement
purports to be a summary Of a paper
prepared at the Bureau of Agriculture
and approved by the commissioner,
DR.. Loring, a scientific farmer from
Massachusetts. The report may do
the Commissioner injustice. 1t would
be unfair to judge him and his work
upon what is perhaps q wide departure
from his views. But on the other
hand, public interest demands that the
false impression given in regard to
Western cattle be promptly corrected.
1t is stated that the loss Of live stock
amounts to about $66, 100000 annually
in this country, and it is assumed that
this loss is due to disease. and mainly
to pleItro,pneumonia, and it is further
assumed that this terrible malady is
common to the whole country. Here
i'll lies the great mistake and mischief
OF the business. The great bulk of
the cattle Of the United States Craze
west Of the Allegheny Mountains, and
it may we'll be doubted it a really au-
thentic case Of pleuro-pneumonia in
the West can he shown. 1t is as for
eign to our Western herds as leprosy is
to the homes of our people. The live
stock men Of the West are constantly
apprehensiye that the infection may
be brought to the prairies and the
plains by young stock from the East.
A great many calves fed on Eastern

The recent exposures OF the scandal
Gus treatment Of lunatics confined in
the New York state asylums have at
tracted great attention in the Empire
state. 4 bill has been introduced in
the Legislature providing that in fu-
ture 40 person can be confined in an
INSANE asylum except upon the certi1i-
cate Of two physicians, and giving
power of inspection TO boards OF man
ayers, who are TO have every facility
for private examinations Of patients.
The fact that no such law already eX-
lists goes a long way toward sulpstanti-
airing the allegation that it WAS easier
to get a sane person into al asylum in
NeW York than in any other State Of
the Union, and it certainly is time that
some reasonable amount Of red-tape
Should be necessary before d man can

people will be run upon il. Other features
are miniature sleeping and dining cars com.
