Breeders Gazette The excitement
and the consequent damage to the cat
tie interests of the western states result
ing from the reported outbreak of a ter
ribly contagious disease furnishes the
strongest possible argument in favor of
some such legislation as that now pend
ing in congress. The people of the west
suddenly found themselves confronted
by what was supposed to be a terrible
danger-One that threatened the very
existence of the great cattle-growing in
terest. Turning to the statutes of the
states and the nation they found no
authority or power under the laws to
confront it; no authority to quarantine
against, or even to investigate the ma
ture of the malady and, consequently
there was widespread and general
alarm. What was supposed to be the
case then is likely to be really true at
any day. Is it not the part of wisdom
to lock the stable door before the thief
makes his appearance Is it not wise
to provide some efficient means of
promptly dealing with these contagious
diseases before they shall have gained
footing in our country? Does not COM
mon sense dictate that we should pro-
vide for some efficient and intelligent
supervision of this great interest, to the
end that it may he protected from false
scares gotten up by ignorant ''cow doc
tors, on the one hand, and from the
dangerous, reckless practices of unprin-
cipled traders and dealers on the other?
Is not the experience of Great Britain,
of Australia and of South Africa worth
something to us, and may we not, prof
iting by their example, be forewarned
and forearmed.

APPOINTMENT of judge Rrewer

Now that Judge Brewer has been ap-
pointed by President Arthur to succeed
Judge McCrary, his confirmation will
come as a matter of course. At first
Judge Brewers friends while enthusi-
astic for him were not confident. Even
our own delegation in the house was
divided, two of them being for Archie
Williams, while the senators were indif
ferent. But they soon heard the voice
of the people of the state earnestly ad-
vocating Judge Brewers appointment
and they then became unit for him.
Each of the seven states in the circuit
| had a candidate, and some of them two
or three. But Judge Brewer was earn
estly supported by certain members of
congress outside his own state, not the
least of whom was Senator Vest of Mis-
souri,, who has been an enthusiastic
Brewer man from the begipning. In
fact our fellow townsman has received
some weighty democratic support, and
he appreciates it. But one of the strong
est factors in winning the victory has
been the character of the man himself.
Those who know him well enough to
understand his sterling qualities of
mind and heart, his honesty, straight
forwardness and good nature, his
smooth, symetrical professional record
and steady progress, will not find it DIFF
ficult to fathom his present good for
tune.
Judge Brewer came to Leavenworth
in 1859, from Massachusetts, and has
lived here since. He served two years
as county attorney, two years as Judge
of the probate and criminal courts of
Leavenworth county, four. years as
judge of the first judicial district court,
and is now in the fourteenth year of his
service as judge of the state supreme
court. lie is forty-six years old, in the
prime Of life, is member of the Con-
gregational church, and his family con-
sists of wife and four daughters.
The judicial circuit over which he has
general jurisdiction comprises Minneso-
Ia, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas.
Nebraska and Colorado. 1t is a field of
wide extent and duties enough to give
constant occupation and afford the most
ambitious judicial officer ample scope
for the exercise of his powers.
We believe that in Judge Brewer the
people have public servant who will
be Just and fear not. One to whom they
can look for justice in the contest with
those great corporations of the land
which have gained power beyond their
| deserts. and are using it tunscrupulodslv

The Cattle Disease.

10 the Edltor OF the Kansas city journal.
Having from the first been an unbe-
lever in the existence of a single case
of foot and mouth disease in Kansas, l
have waited and watched day after day
for some one to put a stop to all this
nonsense by calling the disease by it's
right name. But strange to say, that
the entire cattle interest. representing
millions upon millions of dollars, has
been accepting as fact the statements
of some veterinaries whose practical
knowledge of cattle would be no credit
to schoolboy. The veterinary who has
had, perhaps, most to say in pronounc-
ing this foot and mouth disease, was
called some time since to take wart off
an animal. After making three visits,
the object desired was only partially ac-
complished.
have half dozen boys at the farm
none of whom probably ever saw a sur
geon's knife, any of whom would have
taken off the wart and left the animal
sound and well. AS it is, there has been
quite question as to the success of the
three operations. Ionly cite this SIM
pie case to show what vast interests we
will jeopardize by relying upon the ad-
vice OF man who has not sufficient
practical knowledge to perform as SIM
pie an operation as to remove wart from
an animal successfully. No; Kansas
would have been hundreds of thousands
of dollars better off if we had had few
practical men to go to the so-called sin
fected district and search for the cause
of the disease, and when they had
found it, state it so as not to cause un-
necessary alarm. 1t will be found to
be nothing more or less than foot rot,
caused by the cattle standing in mud
and filth, first taking the fouls, and this
going into the hoof becoming foot rot.
The question may be asked why do they
have sore mouths ? The answer is sim
pie. The animals being in pain lick
their sore feet and thus make their
mouths sore. Twenty dollars worth of
carboic and labor would have cured
every case of foot rot in the district and
when the foot rot was cured the much
dreaded foot and mouth disease would
have been cured.
The calling of the Kansas legislature
to enact the law just passed was wise
but it is to be hoped that Kansas will be
blessed with veterinary who knows
the difference between foot and mouth
disease and foot trotaggravated by freez-
ing. The cattle interests of the United
States are too largeto be jeopardized by
placing an impractical veterinary in
such an important position. While he
can only act for the state of Kansas, yet
his acts materially affect the cattle in
terests of the entire country. Let us
have practical as well as skilled men to
act when so much capital is invested
and the appreciation or depreciation
may largely depend upon the action of
the state veterinary.

Col c. NJ. Mcclellan, who recently re-
turned from the outlet, or Cherokee
Strip, as it is commonly called, states
that the loss on double wintered cat
tie" has been less than usual, while that
on through cattle' has been scarcely
one-half the per cent anticipated at the
time they were placed on the range. AS
corroboratiye of his statements he refer
red to a herd of about 5,O00 head of the
former description, from which only
two or three had been ascertained to be
dead, and to another herd of about u
600, including 1000 through cattle, driv-
en- in late in the fall, and which were
very thin and in bad condition, loss of
less than four per cent. had been sus-
tanned. At the time he was there, grass
was springing up, and the weather has
been quite fayorabler since, and cattle
would continue to improvc.-Indian

A Ranch Register.

Mr.. AT. Atwater, with Messrs. Hun
ter q Evans, of the National Stock
Yards, East st. Louis, has invented and
perfected most useful book for use on
stock ranches. 1t is called the Live
Stock Register and Ranch Record Book.
1t is complete set of account books in
one, arranged especially for the live
stock business. Beginning with an in
dex from a. to H., the first section is de-
voted to an account of live stock, Civ
ing space for number of each grade on
hand, number purchased, number sold,
and columns to show the balance at end
OF each year to be carried over, space be-
ing given for transfers in simple, COM
prehensive way. Expense account, in
ventory of ranch property, and every
incidental is provided for, to run the
accounts ten years. A space is devoted
to marks and brands, cash account,
expense, labor, supply, outfit and ledger
forming complete set of double entry
books under one cover, yet emitting
nothing necessary for perfect showing
OF all ranch transactions. The book
elicits praise wherever it is shown and
will be the means of instituting more
perfect system than has heretofore pre-
vailed in the west. Mr.. Atwater de-
serves much credit for his useful inven-
tion. \ practical book keeper himself
fully conversant with ranch details, he
has been able TO put within the reach
of ranchmen exactly what their neces-
sites require.
Send $40 TO A. L. Atwater, Room 20,
Singer Building, st. Louis, and he will
furnish copy of the Live Stock Regis
ter, prepaid, TO any address.
