Treatment For Milk Fever.

phoned the doctor, however, and in
half an hour he had made the In.
lection into the udder of potassium
iodide solution. In 2H1a hours the COW
got up, moved q little way and fell
down again. At intervals she got up
again, but not to remain until after
night. Next morning she was standing
In apparent comfort, chewing her cud.
She ate alfalfa hay with some appear

seemed quite well. There has been no

Prince Loubet to Americans.

The first magazine article written by
M. Loubet since he became President
of the French Republic will appear in
The Saturday Evening Post tor July
ID. This important paper, entitled
Young Men and the Republic, after
touching npon our pleasant relations
with the French Republic, continues
with a significant reference to the at
titude OF France toward the other pow
'ers. The mastery summing up with
which the article concludes is fine ex-
preston of the strong republican spir-
1t which relgns in France today.
Young Men and the Republic was
written expressly for The Saturday
Evening Post and will appear in no
.other magazine. The illustrations are
reproductions OF private photographs
ftaken by President Loubet's son.

WHEAT.

A significant paragraph in the mar
ket report printed in the Minneapolis
journal of yesterday: wheat for
July delivery sold today for 62t-the
lowest price in four years. The arti-
Gle concludes: ''The market hovers
above &c, and are we going into a
period of new low prices, or will some
factor arise to lift the market out of it's
depression and put it back to higher
plane?"
1t is evident that two conditions on
ly can arise to lift the market-neither
of which seem very probable-either
the supply must be reduced or the de-
mand must be increased. The present
outlook is for fine crop in the north
west-but the northwest is but small
percentage of the wheat producing
area of the world, and on estimating
supply the whole earth must be taken
into the estimate. Cheap and rapid
transportation from the vast new for
eign as well as domestic wheat fields
puts the entire productive era of the
world into common competition. The
wheat supply is increasing much
more rapidly than is the demand.
In view of these facts the farmer of
central Minnesota, whose average
yield is steadily decreasing, while the
value of his lands are just as steadily
approaching, is forced to face the pro-
position that he cannot proftaby raise
wheat. His fellow farmer in Dakota,
South America, Australia and Russia
can raise more wheat on cheaper lands
and with cheaper labor than he can.
In face of such competition what shall
he do? The inevitable is apparent
he must. as rapidly as possible, re-
tire from this branch of agriculture,
leaving it for others, and devote his
capital, his brains and his energy to
other products of the soil. In brief
wheat raising for profit is ''pla.ed
OUT in Central Minnesota.

helpful to those believing in the fu
inspiration of the word of God. Each
evening there was preaching of the
gospel by P. J. Loizeaux of New Y ork,
and on Sunday, by B. C. Green
man of Nova Scotia, at which many
from the town and country were also
present. The nightly meetings are
expected to continue over the coming
Sunday. About 200 attended, and
those from a distance were P. J. Loi-
zeaux, of New Rork, B. C. Greenman
of Halifax, Nova Scotia; A. M. Scott
of Alton, ILL.,; G. A. Brandt of Bar
mum, Mimi: r. Games OF South Frsm
ingham, Massachusetts, some of these
brethren expect to continue meeting
in the tent in several parts, while
others propose going with a gospel
wagon through southern Minnesota,
Iowa and Kansas. ~.
The special tenets which these
brethren present in their preaching
are the entire inspiration of the Bible,
the common priesthood of all Chris
tians and their call from God to sep
aration from the world, the presence
of the Holy Spirit on earth as taking
the place of mere human regulations
in their worship and ministry, and
their hope being that of the Lords

On Sunday night large company
beyond the capacity of the tent heard
Mr.. Loizeaux preach on the four lit
tie but wise things of PROV. XXX,
the ants, comics, locusts and spiders,
showing that God, whose interest is
in all His creatures meant to teach us
by these insignificant ones the great
lessons OF eternity. The ants, show
ing the provision which God has made
for sinners in view of the day OF
judgement, through the atoning sac
rifice OF His Son Jesus Christ. The
comics, making their houses ir rocks,
showing the eternal security of such
as trust in Jesus. The locusts, going
by bands and yet without a king,
showing the uniting power Of the
Holy Spirit who dwelis in the children
OF God. The spiders, dwelling in
Kings palaces, showing that however
Insignificant the children of God may
be in this world, their home is where
christ is.
