LOGO WEED POISON.
A Menace to the Sheep Herds of NJ

A Menace to the Sheep Herds Of Mon
tana.
One OF the worst things we have to
contend with in the sheep business"
said former State Veterinarian Hol-
loway recently to a Helena Record cor
respondent. "Is the poisoning OF our
sheep by poisonous plants. A consid-
cradle number OF the losses man has
In his flock every year is due to their
having been poisoned by grasses and
weeds. One of the worst of the poison
Gus plants and one which iss f6snds In
nearly all parts of Montana is a form
of grass known as loco weed. Although
the sheep which eat this plant do not
die Immediately from the effects of it.,
it will eventually kill them. A man
who takes morphine does not imme-
diately die, but the more he cats OF it
the more he wants and it finally kills
him. 1t is the same way with sheep
who eat the loco weed. 1t contains a
sort OF morphia, which after they have
eaten it several times they grow to
like it. AS they eat it day after day
they become thin and finally wither
away and die. 1t does not affect old
sheep if they have not acquired the
habit while lambs, but great many
acquire the habit while young and it
grows with them. 1t loosens the
lambs teeth. The range in various
sections of the couhtry is covered with
it. 1t grows in che spring and bears a
white flower, with sort of a yellow
tinge; In the summer it dies off and
leaves dry stock with a seed at the
end of it. The sheep are fond of this
and when the plant is gone they will
dig the roots out OF the ground. 1t
also effects the eyesight of the sheep.
1t would be the best thing that could
happen to the sheep men if some bot
anist would take up the matter of the
loco weed and find out some remedy
for it. If half as much attention were
paid to the loco weed by botanists as
is paid by them to the larkspur prob
ably a remedy against it would be
found. Where one sheep dies from
poisoning by larkspur 100 die from the
effect of eating the loco weed. AS far
rs I know no scientific attention has
been paid to it."

ROOSEVELTDS APPEAL.

The Washington correspondent Of the

and promised him their active sup
port in his administration, the presi-
dent replied to them in the following
words: II want your help this win
ter, and during the whole of this ad-
ministration. 1 can't get along with
out it. want you to call and see me
frequently, and whenever you think L
am starting in wrong direction I
want you to tell me about it. There
is only one way in which can make
a success, and that is by having the
cordial and earnest support of every
good citizen, and especially l want
the members Of congress to rally
around me. shall feel stronger if I
know they are with me. 1 say this,
not from any feelings personal to my
self. l am giving little attention to
the personal side of the administra
tion. That will take care of itself.
But am anxious fully to measure up
to the stature of a good presiudent. I
want the country to feel that the gov
eminent at Washington is strong and
able to cope with the difficulties
which are liable to beset it," And
anyone who knows anything about
Roosevelt and his past career, knows
that he meant every word of it. He
will labor hard for the best interests
of his country, thinking last of himself
and his personal interests. And if he
makes a success of his administration
it is safe to say that the rank and file
of the Republican party will see to it
that his interests are properly looked
after,

PEACHES GROW IN WELLS.

Wells Forum: During the past
summer we mentioned the fact that
Mrs. Sisson had a peach tree in bloom
and that she expected to have some
peaches, even if it was an extremely
dry year. Yesterday she picked 100
ripe peaches off her little tree, and
they are about the average size Of
peaches which has been shipped tc
Wells this year, and are very fine and
s weet. Under ordinary circumstances
the peaches would have been larger,
but the dry weather prevented them
from developing, and the wonder is
that they were as large as they are.
Mrs. Sisson has demonstrated that
peaches can be grown here, and if the
tree lives through the winter she ex.
poets to have big crop from it next
year.

FICHTHORN WINS.
The st. Peter Postoffice Contest is Set.
tied in Favor of the Veteran Editor,

The contest over the appointment of
postmaster at st. Peter was settled
soon after noon today by Congressman
McCleary, and the name of the sue
cessful candidate is Daniel Fichthorn,
the veteran editor of the st. Peter
Tribune.
AS is we'll known Mr.. McCleary has
delayed his recommendation for this
Office several months in the hopes that
at least some of the contestants might
get together and simplify matters by a
portion of the number withdrawing.
But this was not to be, and on his ar
rival home from Washington the first
of the week the congressman said that
he would settle the matter himself
this week. This announcement brought
most of the candidates to Mankato to-
day to learn their fate, and each had
the ear of the congressman after his
arrival from Blue Earth City on the
noon train.
All of the aspirants for the Office are
gentlemen of high standing, and this
fact made the selection all the harder
for Mr.. McCleary. Further, they
were all personal friends and staunch
supporters of the congressman, which
fact did not tend to relieve the embar-
rassment But being forced to make
choice, Mr.. McCleary has done that
which he thought best under all the
circumstances, and that the result will
prove satisfactory to the great ma
jority of the patrons of the Office there
is no doubt.
Mr.. Fichthorn is newsI aper man
of ability. He has fought the battles
of his party in season and out of sea-
son, and up to this time has never held
an Office of Importance. For twenty
years previous to coming to Minnesota
he was in the newspaper business in
Iowa, and he has ably edited the st.
Peter Tribune for nearly fifteen years.
He served his country in the civil
war and now in his old age he has
finally been rewarded in part, at least,
for his faithful services to country and
party. -
The Free Press extends congratula-
tions.to Bro. Fichthorn and makes the
prediction that he will make popu-
lar postmaster.

THE DOG TAX.
State Board of Equalization will See
that ii Is Enforced.


The state board of equalization has
instructed county auditors to assess all
dogs reported by the assessors without
valuation, at not less than So each.
This applies to Blue Earth ".and some
other counties. The law imposes a
tax of 81 to $3 on all dogs in the rural
counties, to create a special fund for
reimbursing the owners of sheep killed
by dogs. Several county auditors
construed the law as '..doingsaway with
any other taxation of dogs. They
either failed to make any report to
the state auditor, or merely gave the
number--of dogs without their value
The state board of equalization cannot
assess things on which no value is re-
ported.
Owners of dogs contend that the act
of last winter is double taxation, or
else that the tax is in lieu of all
others. Some may resist paying and
thus test the law in the courts.
