CANADA THISTLES.

A farmer, through the columns of
the Grant County Herald, sounds the
following note of warming in regard
to the determination of that most
troublesome of weeds, the Canada
thistle. Farmers of Iowa county will
do well TO heed the warning:
] beg leave to call the attention of
the farmers of Grant county, to the
fact that this much-to- be-dreaded pest,
the Canada thistle, has secured firm
hold i'll several places in the county
and it is certainly very desirable
that active and etfectual measures be
at once taken for its complete eXter-
show several small patches scattered
over limited pieces of pasture and
farming land. and also along the rail
road track. There are several patches
of considerable extent i'll the vicinity
of Levingston, and | am informed that
a patch Il few years ago covered but
Il few rods, now covers an acre or more,
and is gaining ground rather than
losing, although efforts have been
made to stay its spread. | have under
stood that there is also Il seed-bed of
these growing in the heart of Blake'S
Prairie, but of this | cannot certainly
say. Now farmers, do you think that
YOU can afford to allow these few
patches of the worst plague that ever
annoyed and hindered the husband
man in his work, to remain I'M
destroyed? They are generally moved
down each year and not allowed to go
to seed, but this is not even measure
of safety i'll the full sense of the word,
for very frequently stray plants escape
the eye of the mower and are allowed
to ripen and send their winged seeds
in every direction. These plague spots,
situated in the center of some of the
finest farming lands in the world can,
if unmolested for two or three years
destroy one fourth of the present mar
ketable value of many farms and so
fasten them selves on the country that
their determination will be simply inn
possible. The old adage An ounce of
prevention is worth pound of cure
is most certainly applicable in this case
and the farmers generally should see
to it that every effort is made ut once
and kept mp during the summer to
root out every Canada thistle. The
attention of town officers and road
overSeers is respectfully and earnestly
called to section 1850. revised statutes
of 1878 for Wisconsin.

FLANDERS.

As this disease prevails to con-
siderable extent among horses in
many sections of southwestern Wis
consin, we quote the following rela-
tive to its cause, symptoms and
treatment from treatise on the
horse and his diseases. by DIR. B. J.
Kendall, Of Enosburg Falls, Yer
mont:
This disease is alike fruitful OF
evil to man and beast and is gener-
ally considered incurable.
A horse may have latent CHAMBERS
for years, and work well, the dis
ease being during this time as con-
tagious as in its developed state.
The cause is somewhat varied in
different eases, and may be attribut-
ed to filth, starvation, or to dibili-
tating diseases, as lung fever, catarrh
or any disease capable of generating
pus, which being absorbed into the
circulation forms ferment within
the blood.
The membrane lining the nostrils
assumes a leaden or purple color,
accompanied by thin, acid, trans
parent and odorless discharge. This
is the first stage, during which the
general health does not suffer and
the horse may do his ordinary work.
The discharge grows thicker, and
| sinks when placed in water. The
membrane lining the nostrils viii
be found to have sores, ragged and
depressed at the top, with varicose
veins leading to them from all sides.
The appetite fails, and the horse
assumes an emaciated and dull APP
pearance. He viii be hide-bound,

Of their readers are disguised with

idea of q protective tariff is commun-
istic One of the favorite theories of
communism is that there shall be a
division once in q while. The richer
shall have their possessions apportioned
among the poor. The skillful shall
contribute to common fund from
which the unskilled can draw an
equal support. Thrift shall divide
with unthrift, and industry share its

of protection is a phrase of the same

The effect of this is, that having to

Of A, the produt of the labor of b. c.

their labor to A, in order to increase

The Republicans of Pennsylvania
demand the continuance of high
protective tariff, and are in favor of
reducing any surplus in the public
treasury by distributing it among the
different states to relieve them from
the burdens of local taxation, and
to provide means for the education of
their people.
