bounty Is intended and expected by It's
friends to give him.
But even if the scheme should prove
successful to the extent that farmers
would get what is intended for them,
even then the ADVOCATE is opposed to
it. Senator Cannon estimates that
about $48, 600, 900 would be required to
pay the proposed bounty, This would
have to be raised largely by duties lev
led on sugar, cloth, clothing, shoes and
other necessary supplies which every
farmer must purchase. Farmers con-
stitute nearly one.hslf the population
of the country, and hence would pay
about one-half the bounty, while at the
same time paying a like proportion Of
the protection afforded to other classes
Of producers.
Our views on this subject have been
freely and plainly expressed In late
issues OF the ADVOCATE, WeWlll not
now add moro to this article only to
say we favor removing duties wholly
from all necessary and useful articles
used generally among the farmers and
other hard working people Of the COun-
try, leaving taxes only on luxuries and
such articles as the rich and fsstidiOus
use. Let the rest Of the needed reve-
nues be raised by graduated taxes on
large landed estates and net incomes
above $1,000, supplemented by issues
of legal tender paper money. This
would give farmers all the protection
needed, and it would place all classes
of the people on exactly the same level
so far as National taxation is concerned.

Close confinement, with impure air
and lack of exercise, is as pTejudicial
to the health Of milk cows as to that
of human beings. Some recently pro-
muIgsted theories of dark, warm sta
bles and no exercise for profitable milk
production are without rational basis
and certain to lead to disastrous re.
suits sooner or later. Exposure to
storms and cold is equally injurious to
the health and profit of cows, A Judi
clous mean is the provision for mOder
ate exercise in the open air and sun
shine, and the application of the same
common sense care for the comfort of
COWS which one would approve for
members of his own household.
Every member of the herd, young or
old, should pass under the critical eye
of the owner or his trusty assistant
daily, and preferably twice day. The
least symptoms of disorder, like dull
ness, loss of appetite, rough coat, and
irregularity of milk, manure, or urine,
should be noted and promptly receive
the attention which it deserves. Ex-
perience ia needed on the part Of the

tain the general health of the herd.

The Horn Fly.
ITO be coattnued.)

The editor of the Wisconsin Farmer,
calling attention to the prevalence of
this troublesome pest among cattle in
certain parts OF Wisconsin, says kerO-
sene emulsion, applied with a spray
pump, has been found quite useful, as
it kills all the flies it touches. Good
results have been secured with Dish oil
to which about two tsblespoOnfuls
of csrbolic acid to the quar-
is added, the mixture being applied =
with a broad, flat paint brush.
Two parts Of fish oil or cOttOnseed oil
and one part of pine tar Is q successful
application and the cost is low. at
the Mississippi Experiment Station
this mixture was applied to $50 cattle
at cost Of only 1920. These sugges-
tions indicate In general way the
character of the remedies to be used,
ANY of them require frequent renewal,
as they only protect the cattle for from
three to six days. When dairy herds
can be confined in dark stables during
the day 1t is best to do go, care being
taken to keep the flies out,
The horn fly ia propagated from eggs
laid In the droppingO of the cattle, and
1t is therefore q good plan to break
these up when the droppings have be-
come a little dry. One popularity
about the horn fly is that it cannot
travel we'll unless it has cattle to &C.
company. If, therefore, the farmer
can prevent the multiplication of the
fly on his own premises by the use of
the remedies and by breaking up the
egg bearing droppingg, he Is not likely
to be much troubled, even though the
fly be numerous on the adjoining farm.

HEALTH OF THE HERD.


There is no point Of greater impor-
tance in selecting animals for the
foundation of q herd, or In making
purchases of additions, than to get
perfectly healthy stock. Animals
chosen should be critically examined
by q veterinarian if convenient, and
should afford evidence of being strong
in constitution and Of healthful vigOr.
Besides the robust character Of the in
dividusls, the breeding stock from
which they are descended, and the
herd, stables, and farm from which
they come, should be closely examined,
on the score of health. Breeding and
rearing the animals needed to replen.
ish and increase the herd, and refusing
to allow strange animals on the farm,
are the best safeguards against the In
PRODUCTION Of disease. If purchases
must be made, let the new stock be
strictly qusrantined for at least one
month before mingling with the herd.

ferred week before last puts the case
thus In q single sentence:
"PrOtection as 1t now stands is one
sided, and therefore unjust; and VIZ
contend that 1t would be far better fol
the raisers of agricultural staples If VIZ
had absolute free trade than to b.
under the present system of One-sldet
protection. AS 1t Is, the producer o.
the staples Of agriculture is selling hil
produce in the home market and for
eign market at the same price, which
is the worlds price, or a free trade
price, and at the same time be is pay
Ing the costs of the protection system
Heis thus bearing burden he cannot
much longer stand"
All Of us agree that laws, If they are
just, will operate equally on all inter
ests. We are likewise agreed that sg
riculture now receives but little If any
benefit from protective tariffs, although
1t is entitled to share equally witt
other interests.
This leaves two questions to be an
swered: First, Would the proposed
export bounty, If enacted into law, put
farmers on the same level of protection
with other interests and second
Whether such q law is the best way Of
even q good and wise way to bring
about such an equality?
The ADVOCATE does not believe the
effect expected would follow. If farm
ers were rich and we'll organized So
that they could handle their exports
themselves through their own railways
canals, river boats and ocean steamers
they could collect and properly divide
