also visited the farm of Peter
Truax, near Eau Claire. There Is no
golden rod to be found on his farm,
and the disease has not made it's APP
pearance. During the past summer
Mr.. Truax placed ten horses in pasture
near by where the plant is plentiful,
and eight of them died during the sum-
mer and the remaining two are affected.
When the healthy horses are taken
from the pasture in the fall the disease
disappears. None of the animals at
tackled by the malady have recovered,
and medicinal treatment does not seem
to produce any beneficial effect.
Symptoms The animal appears dull,
ears dropped, temperature elevated,
ranging from 1os degrees to 107 de-
grees Fahrenheit during the entire
course of the disease. The visible mu-
cous membranes are pallid. On the
mucous membranes of the vulva small
petechial spots are seen. Occasionally
the legs swell and oedematous enlarge
ments appear under the abdomen. The
appetite remains fairly good during
the entire course of the disease. Ema-
citation takes place rapidly as the dis
case advances. Loss of coordination,
with staggering gait. Death takes
place in from two weeks to two months
from the onset. A. Scott, in Med

TRYING TO DODGE.



Prejudice.
In the speech which gained him the
democratic nomination for president
Hon. w. j. Bryan, of Nebraska, said, in
reference to what he termed "the great
paramountissue:" MY friends, we shall
declare that this nation is able to leg
islate for its own people on every ques-
ton without waiting for the aid or
consent of any other nation on earth,
and upon that issue we expect to carry
every single state in this union"
If this means anything it means that
the paramount issue" on which the
siIverite campaign is to be fought is
not free silver at sixteen to one, but the
question whether this country is able
to legislate for its own people. On this
issue there can be no dispute. OF course
the United States can legislate without
the aid or consent of any other country.
No advocate of sound money will for
moment deny Mr.. Bryan's assertion,
nor has anyone ever done so. If con-
gress chooses to pass law that the
tides shall never rise more than four
feet along any part of our seacoast, it
has perfect right to do SO. If the
United States wishes to enact legisla-
ton forbidding the Russian thistle to
grow, it is able to do so without the
consent of any other nation. 1t con-
gress chooses to fix the price of sugar
at four cents per pound, it can legislate
to that effect without any aid from
hated British or Frenchman. There is
no doubt about our ability to legislate
on every question without asking any
body's consent.
But if congress passes foolish laws
viii they have any effect? That is the
red issue. Can the price of such COM
modify as sugar be fixed by our laws?
Certainly not. Equally impossible
would it be to fix the price of silver at
sixteen to one of gold. No believer IN
sound money thinks or says that we
cannot pass a free and unlimited six
teen to one coinage law. They do say,
and all the experience of mankind
proves that they are right, that under
| such law this country cannot alone
maintain the value of silver at the pres
emit ratio.
Mr.. Bryan's attempt to run away
from the question as to our ability to
raise the value of all the worlds silver
without the agreement (not consent, as
he states it) of the great commercial ma
tions shows the weakness of the silver
cause. Confusing the ability to legis-
late, which nobody denies, with the
ability to control values by legislation
may do for stump speech. 1t will not
deceive the American people, who know
we'll enough that our laws cannot fix
the value of silver or of any other labor
| product.

Sheep ON the Farm.

Sheep will both feed and clothe .
man, which is more than can be said
of other farm animals. The price Of
wool should not influence a farmer
overmuch in his decision as to keeping
sheep, for if he has q good large mutt
ton sheep he is sure of profit. He can
not always have things his own way,
and should look at all sides of prob
lem. Sheep will keep the clover crop
ped closely, and if this is done through
the early part of the season the seed
crop will be heavier from the late
growth than any other manner of
handling it. The sheep should be fair
ly credited with this profit. It takes
food to make wool as well as to make
flesh. If growing sheep only or main-
ly, for wool, it is just as necessary to
feed well as though the main object
was mutton. A sheep kept on starva-
ton rations, even a part of the time,
will not yield good fleece. In ordi-
nary circumstances no farmer should
neglect feeding certain number OF
sheep, if for no other reason than to
consume and TO convert into manure
the roughness which would otherwise
be wasted. All coarse fodder is moro
valuable for manure after it has passed
through an animal Rural World

WHY HE LEAVES HIS PARTY.
An Oid-Time Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites. =

An Oid-Timo Democrat Cannot Follow
the Silverites.
Mr.. Samuel Dickson, of Philadelphia,
a lifelong democrat and an influential
citizen, has resigned as presidential
elector on the democratic ticket.
Among other reasons for his action ne
gave the following:
1t is merely paltering with the truth
to pretend to acquiesce in the expert
ment of trying to make the product Of
days labor in a silver mine worth
two or five times as much as the product
of days labor in gold or Ell iron
mine. At the present time the results
of days work in one occupation are
worth approximately and in the long
run as much as in any other. To affiS
an artificial value upon silver ore is q
dishonest and unjust discrimination
against every other form of industry,
and when it is done by calling it legal
tender IL is done at the expense of
every class in the community except
the money lenders and the money
changers.
With currencies of different value in
circulation. the money lenders always
thrive at the expense of the people, and
the debtor must suffer more than the
wage Garner. 1t was favorite saying
of Lord Palmerston that high rate OF
interest meant bad security, and the
owner of money must charge for the
risk if there is chance that when he
lends bar of gold he may be forced
to take payment in bar of silver, just
as the owner of horse will hesitate to
lend it with chance of being given in
return sheep or pig. That is all
there is in bimetallism as practical
question as between the lender and the
borrower, and. so stated, it ought to be
easy to understand why. until it is
stated. hundreds of millions of capital
are lying idle which would be at the
service of the south and west if they
were willing to give back what they
got.

DEATH TO HORSES.

Golden Rod Shown to Have been the
Cause Of Fatality.
During the past four years a large
number of horses have died in the
northern part of Wisconsin from the
ravages of disease that has bafied
the skill of veterinarians, and have
been called upon to investigate the
matter as to the cause and nature of
the malady. At first it was thought to
be anthrax, and samples of the blood
and sections from the spleen and other
internal organs were sent to the bu-
reau of animal industry and to
DIR. Russell, of the state uni
versity, for meteorological exam
nation. Numerous bacteria were
found, but the bacillus anthrax
was not present. The horses affected
were in the majority Of the cases
heavy draft horses from the lumber
camps. These animals were brought
from the woods in the spring, usually
in good condition, and turned out to
pasture. Most of them were fed grain
while on pasture.
On the farm of Mr.. c. T. Reynolds
Hayward, Wis, over seventy horses
have died during the past four years
from this peculiar malody. The pas
ture contained about tour hundred
acres, 800 of which had been broken
and seeded to timothy. Adjoining
this was 100 acres of '.slash
ings," or land from which the timber
had been cut, but which had never
been broken. This was thickly GOV
cred with golden rod. On one side o.
the farm is lake with clean grave
bottom and shore. The lake is fed by
springs There is no marsh or low
land on the farm. Upon investiga
ton, / became convinced that the
cause Of the trouble was to be found
either in the food or water, and
watched the horses closely for severa
days and saw them eating the COLDER

Colts on Grass or In Stable.

/ have often heard the question
mooted as to whether a colt would inn
prove the more rapidly while running
on grass or kept up in the stable. I'm
questionably grass is. under certain
conditions. the food best adapted to
young horses, and old ones, too, for
that matter. 1t puts the digestive APP
paratus of the horse in good condition
better and more quickly than anything
else. That we all know. But it may
not be SO generally known that colt
will grow faster. develop more
rapidly and keep in better condi-
ton when he is kept up in the
stable. carefully and generously
fed, watered regularly and given a
proper amount of exercise, than when
in pasture. It is the practice of one
of the oldest and most celebrated farms
in Kentucky land one that does not at
tempt to develop too rapidly to take
part of the youngsters mp in the
spring, work them awhile and then
turn them out and take up another
lot, returning to the first set after a
proper rest. The manager of the farm
tells me that under this system they
grow and develop more satisfactory
than any that he ever tried. They
may not make as fast yearlings as they
would with continuous handling, but
1 have no doubt that they will make
better three-year-old and aged horses

American Do,lars in Mexico.

Of our government which keeps the sill
yer dollar afioat at AZ cents more than
its intrinsic value, just as it keeps its
paper notes, which have no intrinsic
value at all, at an equality with gold
dollar. "Free, unlimited and independ-
ent coinage at sixteen to one" would
mean dollars worth even less than Mex
team silver dollars.
