Herds Infected with Blackleg.

Secretary LaRue, of the territorial
cattle sanitary board, is notified that
blackleg is raging among the herds in
San Juan and western Grant counties.
He says anent this dreaded disease: st
is not a contagious but an infectious
disease that is very common throughout
the western country. The wise stock
raiser guards against it by vaccination.
Many of the cattle raiserS about Las
Vegas vaccinated their herds this fall,
using virus which l procured from the
United States bureau of. animal indus
try. When once it breaks out there is
no known cure for the disease. 1t must
be killed off by heroic measures. The
best way is to destroy completely the
whole carcass. 1t should be burned
or deeply buried, so that wild animals
can not unearth them. Many ranchmen
skin the beasts that die from this dis
ease, but this is a great mistake, for the
hide serves to spread the Infection

MEETING OF NATIONAL
GUARD ASSOCIATION
Efforts Making to Secure Increased Appro.
priations- Meeting Well Attended
Much interest Taken in Gnard.

Colonel Whiteman, adjutant general
last night, where he has been for two
weeks in attendance upon the annual
meeting of the National Guard Associa-
ton.
The meeting was largely attended, not
only by the different adjutant generals
and officers of the guard from all over
the country, but by regular army Off
GERS. The main subject under discus
sion in the sessions of h association
was that of the proper procedure to be
taken to secure an increased appropria-
ton from the government for the bene-
fit Of the national guard. Heretofore
the appropriation has been $400, 900 per
annum, or about $3.50 per mar in the
guard, while the appropriation for the
regular army amounts to almost $500
per man per year An effort is now
making to secure an appropriation of
$4,000, 900 per year for the national
| guard, to be used in buying equipment,
uniforlning the guard and paying the
expenses of an annual e~ncampment, in
| Guiding a small per diem for the officers
and men to compensate for the loss of
time while in camp.
More interest is taken in the national
guard thar ever before and the general
feeling is that the country should have
a guard that is well equipped and drill
ed. 1t is thought by the regular army
officers that the army will be increased
to 75,0 900 men, which will be sufficient to
do police duty in the new possessions,
and nothing more; that with
the change in the policy of the
government preparations must be made
for emergencies, and for that purpose
the national guard should be placed on
an efficient footing.
Colonel Whiteman had a very pleas
ant trip and was shown every attention
by every one with whom he came in
contact. At the banquet, which was
given on the last night of the meeting,
he was selected as one Of the few
speakers, and feels that because he
came from New Mexico that honor was
conferred upon him.

1t is always more or less dangerous ia
try to improve the conditions of life, il
general, or in particular. A divine ex-
| ample Of that fact is given US in the ex,
perience of the children of Israel in
Egypt. just as soon as they began to
kick against their oppression, the Egyp.
tians made it harder for them. They
might groan and sweat under the bur
dens and abuses of their sersitude, but
so long as the y did nothing about it, ev-
| cry thing was comparatively comforta-
BILE. But no sooner had the Lord raised
up Moses and Aaron to deliver them
than they had to suffer for it. The very
day they began to dream of freedom and
nome of their own in the promised
land their II oubles and trials were multi
piled. Until Moses went to them with
Gods message they had plenty to eat
and straw for making brick. But when
they began to talk of bettering them
selves, the taekmasters we're set upon
them, and they had to 60 and gather
| stubDle in addition to their other Wo:k.
And of course making brick without
straw was hard work, and they had to
do their stint just the same. The result
was that tie people left of kicking
| against Pharaoh and began to kick at
Moses and Aaron, because they said
that these servants of Jehovah had got
them into all this trouble.
nd if ,.f ha kor -
Egypt to get Gods people out of their
bondage. But even after they were
we'll out of Egypt, the people were still
cowardly and murmured and said: "Is
not this the word that we spake unto
thee in Egypt, saying, Let US alone, that
we may serve the Egyptians? For it
were better for us to serve the Egyp-
tiana, than that we should die in the
| wilderne
Still later on, even when their deliver
ance seemed complete, they murmured
still louder, and cried: "Would that we
| had died by the hand of the Lord in the
land OF Egypt, when we sat by the
flesh pot0, when we did eat bread to the
full; for ye have brought US forth into
this wilderness, to kill this whole assem-.
bly, with hunger"
No community ever made step for
ward in it's social, political or moral life
but the Egyptians all the more oppress-
ed them and followed them. No COM
monwealth was ever delivered from the
bondage Of political corruption and So
cial degradation except that some, per
haps, were tempted to turn back to the
| fesh-pots of their servitude rather than
to sustain the co, f1cts and trials neces-
| sa, to the attainment of freedom.
We must expect to suffer loss in any
good cause. We must expect to be pun
ished if we oppose the world, or the
powers that be.

And Gilbert's hens they say amen,
While the roostert go on sprees.
