Ii is slow and troublesome task to cure
knee-sprung horse after the trouble has
become chronic, but, il taken in time, says
an exchange, it should be cured without
much difficulty. Many young horses go
lover in the knees" to q small extent BY
standing on floor that slopes downward
from the maDger for the purpose of readily
carrying of the urine. A young horse
standing on q floor of this kind has his
toes higher than his heels, and the con-
t'nue6 strain on the back sinews of the
fore legs becomes so severe thar the horse
is induced to slightly bend bend his knees
in order 70 slacken the tension. He thus
Acquires the habit of standing with slight
~ Bonded knees whether he happens to
be standing on an incline or level. The
way to overcome this evil is to precisely
reverse the conditions which induced it.
Make the horse stand so that his heels Will
stand considerably higher than his toes,
This sbnormally slackens the back sinews,
and they afford no support to keep the
knees from still further bending. The
horse has nothing to steady his knees, and
in order to find something that will answer
the purpose he will strsighten out his legs
to the fullest possible extent to force some
little pressure upon those very sinews
which his elevated heels and slightly ben
ded knees have wholly slackened, He thus
acquires the habit OF standing with his
knees slightly bent under reversed condi-
tions. II any farmer doubts the correct
ness of this theory, let him atald on the
level floor with the balls of his feet resting
upon an ordinary walking stick. and, after
experimenting with it in this position for
FIVE minutes, let him place the stick under
bis heels. In the first instance, he will
quickly feel inclined to bend his knees,
and, in the second, be will be equally dis
posed to strsighten them. II the sprung
knees do not yield readily to the treatment
thus described. we would recommend long
continued sh0wering with cold water,
patient handwriting OF the back slnews
and applications of land-turtle oil.

More Tariff

To the Editor OF the Ledger.
MEXICO, Mo-, May SIN reply
to Mr.. Llewellyn's article on the
tariff we say:
Most assuredly there are many
Intelligent and thoughtful" men
on both sides of this question.
Undoubtedly there are wool-grow-
ers who hold to free trade theories,
but, judging from the action taken
by county, State and National as
sociations the wool-growers of the
country almost unanimously favor
a protective tariff. The Mills bill
was framed by the friends of the
President and in accordance with
his views as expressed in his mes
sage. The advocates of free trade
or a revenue tariff support and the
advocates of a protective tariff OPP
pose the bill. It is therefore the
platform upon which the tariff re-
formers stand and upon the success
or defeat of the measure depends
whether or not we shall change
from a protective tariff to a free
trade policy. Protectionists assert
that the proposed tariff reform will
infict great injury to many i'm
portant industries of the country.
Under the present tariff the agri.
cultural productions CT the country
receive the protection, whieh-ae:
cording to Senator Vest, is "1nci
dent to every tariff" Barley
oats, corn, wheat, potatoes, beans
peas and other vegetables; meats
poultry, hemp, flax, wool, etc.
now on the dutiable list, are, by the
Mills bill placed on the free list, Sc
that the manufacturer may have
cheaper raw material, and his EN-
ployes cheaper food to enable tbs
manufactures to compete with hi
foreign competitor. This same bill
provides for a tariff tax, which, tn,
free traders claim, enhances the
value of the home production, or
the following articles, which thu
farmer buys: Clothing, bedding
carpets, whether of cotton, wool
hemp or shoddy; sugar, rice, starch
southern fruits, all household ant
kitchen furniture, and the iron ant
steel of which his farm nipple
ments are made. In other words
under the provisions of the Mill
bill the farmer sells his products il
open competition to the who'll
world and buys of ''legalized mo
nopolies," and this is what MI
Llewellyn calls a ststep in the RICH
direction" Is this the tariff re
form the farmers want2
